01x38 - New Year's Retribution

[bunniefuu]

Grrr!

Only a few more adjustments

and the Auto-adjuster
will be complete.

If only there were a machine
to do this for me.

Huh?
Where's my shifting spanner?

My babies!

Welcome to my world.

My baby!

Sonic, it's urgent.
Get over here--

What took you so long?
Some of my stuff's gone missing.

Did you check under there?

-Under where?
-[sniggers]

There's only one person
evil enough to do this.

Eggman!

[laughs]
Oh, "underwear". I get it.

Oh... I just repaired that door
from the last time you broke it.

You can't just buy evil lair
doors at the corner store.

It's a special order.

What did you do
with Tails' tools?

Tails' tools are missing?
So are mine.

-They're getting braver.
-Who?

Huh? Never you mind.

Get out of here. Scoot.
I'll bill you for the door.

I don't think
Eggman's behind this.

I've come up with a foolproof
plan to catch the real thief.

That's your plan?

What?
This is how you catch stuff.

-Haven't you ever watched TV?
-Hmm...

[Eggman grunting]

My worst nightmare
has come true.

The one where you're speaking
at a robot conference

and realise you're standing
in a puddle of your own oil?

And then you wake up
and find out you oiled the bed?

I didn't want to say anything
in front of Sonic,

but there's a band
of renegade robots out there

watching my every move.

Plotting against me.
I bet they're behind the burglaries.

I can see you, you know.

Robots are so stupid.

Wait... Maybe that's my problem.
I can't think like a robot.

Where are you gonna find someone
that can think like a robot?

I'm sending you two
on a mission

to find
where the renegades are hiding.

-We won't disappoint you.
-It's too late for that.

So we take a left here...

another left here...

We're walking in circles.
Give me that!

Can't you even figure out
directions with a compass?

That thing
can tell us directions?

You're hopeless.
I'll show you the right way.

[both] Aargh!

Oh, no,
we've been captured...

by the handsomest robots
in the world!

You look familiar.
Have we met before?

I don't know. Have you
ever been to Gogoba Village?

You're clearly
both the same model robot.

That's impossible. He has a hat.

[Orbot sighs]

[Cubot gasps]

It would appear that he's
a rejected prototype of you.

-But what about me?
-You're a prototype as well.

-So, then, what am I?
-You're also a prototype.

-But what about...
-You're all Cubot prototypes.

But I have a hat!

We've been living here since
we escaped from Dr Eggman's lair.

After being programmed
and tested,

we were deemed not good enough.

So we escaped
and went into hiding

so Eggman couldn't dismantle us
and recycle our parts.

We never planned
to come out of hiding

but Cute-Bot
began to malfunction

and we needed tools
and electronics to fix her.

I'll put out the fire
with this.

Don't use that, use sand.

[all gasp]

When you've started
as many accidental fires as I have,

you get good
at putting them out.

You mean...
you learn from your mistakes?

No wonder Eggman stopped
when he created you.

You're the ultimate prototype!

No, you imbeciles.
He's the finished version.

[all gasp]

Can you help us fix Cute-Bot?

Hmm... let me see.

Her condition
is worse than I thought.

Maybe Dr Eggman
will know what to do.

If Eggman finds us,

he'll toss us into the
metal crusher and scrap us.

Yeah, that sounds like him.

All right...
uh... I got nothing.

Perhaps we should visit Tails.
He'll know how to fix Cute-Bot.

Yeah, let's do that.

What a great idea to use
Orbot's idea. You are a genius!

Come on, everyone. Follow me.

[sniffs]

[snoring]

-[Cubot] Ahem!
-What... Who... Huh...

Did we wake you?

No. No.
I was just resting my eyes.

What... Who... Huh...
I'm up!

Yes, very convincing.

If we all pretend you weren't
sleeping, will you help us?

Just one more
minor adjustment...

Don't you wish there was
a machine to do that for you?

Testify, brother.

Holy cow!
She's better than ever.

I think these may be yours.

We uh... ahem...
found them in the woods.

My babies!

Don't worry, I kept your room
exactly the way you left it.

You guys
don't have to steal stuff.

If you need more repairs,
just ask. We're happy to help.

And by "we" I mean Tails.

When we get home
I have ice cream.

I meant for you and me.

I believe it's time
for us to leave as well.

You can't! We need the ultimate
Cubot to be our leader.

He's so much smarter
than the rest of us.

That's like being
the healthiest item at Meh Burger.

Exactly.
That's why I have to stay.

[Cubots cheer]

They're not the brightest.

I see how it is.
Very well, I wish you luck.

But as for me, I shall return home
to our beloved Dr Eggman.

[cheering]

-Where have you imbeciles been?
-It's great to be home.

Where's the other one?
What's his name, Q-bert?

Cubot chose
to live among the renegades.

You found them?
Cubot can't stay there, he...

Represents the perfection
of the Cubot series?

What? No. I could never
perfect the Cubot series.

I finally gave up and
moved on to the Orbot series.

-You're the perfect Cubot.
-Really?

It's not much
of an accomplishment.

It's like
being the perfect Cubot.

We've got to get him back.
He knows too many lair secrets.

And destroy the renegades.
Where are they?

Um... I don't remember.

All these renegade robot bases
look the same.

If only I implanted some sort
of tracking device in you

so I can find out
where you've been...

Oh, wait, I did.

I probably should have sprung
for the wireless option.

What's the meaning of life?

Teach me to juggle.

What does
a self-destruct button do?

Ha! Can you believe
how dumb these guys are, Orb...

Oh, right.

Did another Cubot
press his self-destruct button?

-[expl*si*n]
-Oh, come on, guys!

-[gasps]
-Hello, boys. I'm back!

He'll destroy us!

I know what to do. Run!

When I told you to follow me,
you all ran off.

Now I tell you to run
and you just stand there?

What's wrong with you guys?

We'll take it from here.

Agh!

I'm sorry for ditching you
to become the king of these dopes.

If it makes you feel better,

I've come to expect this
from you.

Yeah, me too. Can you believe
Eggman's attacking me?

It's not an att*ck,
it's um... a rescue mission.

Dr Eggman said
he had to get you back

because you're
the perfect robot.

Ahh!

Ow!

Get off of me,
you mechanical mieskeit!

Ugh! Huh?

Ha!

Now look what you made me do.
Retreat!

Farewell, my people.
You will always be in my heart.

But I've got to scram.

Before Eggman returns

we need to move you all
to a place where you'll be safe.

Relatively safe.

When you're done, polish
my boots, you boot-polishers.

Welcome home, Your Majesty.
