"Cowboy Android!" is the 7th episode of The Aquabats! Super Show! from Season 1.

Synopsis[]

After a mishap trying to rid the mines of a naked mole bat, The Aquabats find themselves stranded in the desert. They happen upon an old western town, but it's not as welcoming as they would have hoped. When a cowboy android threatens to end The Aquabats, will The MC Bat Commander be able to form a plan to save his friends in time?

Plot[]

(Contains Spoilers)

The Aquabats try to take care of a mine's naked mole bat problem, but all goes wrong when The MC Bat Commander throws a stick of dynamite at the beast and the mine collapses.

As the group drives through the desert, MCBC's lack of planning lands the team in even more trouble when they run out of gas. The band happens upon an old western town and looks for relief. They stop at a nearby saloon to get food and shelter, asking for some water and gas, but when the townsfolk, led by the sheriff of the town, refuse and try to arrest them, a brawl ensues. Unfortunately, the sheriff is none other than a cowboy android with a bad temper. He rounds up The Bats and arranges to have them hanged while MCBC watches on from a jail cell. A pair of children frees The Commander and he rushes off to distract the town long enough for Jimmy to free himself and their friends.

The group flees from the town and finds themselves in a parking lot, where they find a brochure stating that the town is actually a theme park based on the movie "Cowboy Androids" (which isn't a real movie). Apparently the main attraction went rogue and took the visitors hostage within the town. The Commander vows to save them but is stopped by EagleBones, who says they'll be slaughtered if they go back without a plan.

Crash finds a cheese ball in the trunk of a car, which MCBC promptly steals and runs off with, seemingly without a plan and his feelings hurt, also hurting Crash's feelings. The rest of The Aquabats take it upon themselves to free the town.

The showdown between Ricky, Crash, EagleBones, Jimmy, and Cowboy Android looks hopeless until MCBC rushes in, luring the giant naked mole bat with the cheese ball. He throws the cheese ball at Cowboy Andrid and lets the creature take care of the rest of the fight, his plan having paid off. With the defeat of Cowboy Android, the tourists are free once again.

Characters[]

It's A Cartoon![]

The Aquabats continue to search for Jimmy. Crash spots him floating in the water. He launches himself into the missile launcher and grows to super size. Crash swims up to Jimmy and chomps him into his mouth. Spitting him in the submarine, The Commander calls Jimmy to wake up, but he doesn't. He turns him over to remove a battery case on his back and discovers the batteries are useless. The Commander tells Ricky to get new batteries quickly. Ricky grabs a remote nearby and tosses it to The Commander. He puts them in Jimmy and he restarts. unfortunately, Jimmy's systems couldn't run and shuts down. The Commander tells everyone they need to get out of the cave and off the moon. They manage to get out of the collapsing underwater city, but it causes a massive cave in! EagleBones spots the exit and everyone runs towards it. Jimmy (still malfunctioning) slowly walks to the exit.

What is wrong with Jimmy the Robot? Can The Aquabats find a way to fix him and escape the moon? I'm guessing... maybe. Tune in to the next episode!

Cultural References[]

  • During the part of "Wingin' It!", Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic can be seen in the background.
  • The showdown scene where Ricky hides a shield under a poncho is a homage to the shootout scene in A Fistful of Dollars (1964), where in Clint Eastwood hides a piece of steel under his poncho to deflect a bullet. This scene was also recreated in the movie "Back to the Future III."
  • The Cowboy Android and the episode itself is seemingly very loosely based on the 1973 film Westworld in which a robot designed to look like a gun slinging cowboy goes haywire and starts attacking people in a Wild West theme park.

  • The truck that Crash finds the cheese ball in is actually his truck.
  • The Magic Store and FremantleMedia logos were replaced with the Awesome Forces! logo in the remastered version.
