Episode 12: Coop D'etat

Those are homages to Great Mazinger and Raideen, voiced by the G1 actors of Optimus Prime and Megatron, respectively.

Coop discovers that Megas has the ability to teleport. While testing it out, he accidentally incurs the wrath of a race of sentient giant robots, who begin to hunt Megas down and claim their place as Emperor of their planet.

I like that despite Coop being the aggressor(technically), it's quickly established that all of these Transformers-esque robots are actually villains; Planet conquerors, and that they likely would've crossed paths with and had to fight Megas anyway.

Even then though, the show has its fun with perspective and brutality. Most notably in the sequence where Megas has to hide in a giant space cloud, which plays out like something out of a slasher flick. It's also got one of my favorite console gags!

Overall though, while it's not a super standout episode compared to some of the others, this one is still alot of fun, as the show always is.
