[Ape]

I guess the writers have been padding for time for the last few episodes and were just waiting for Bandai to release the the Drill and Crane combo so that they could actually progress the story in some way. Either way, this was a really good episode.

I liked how they actually called back to an earlier mech fight and showed a monster getting crushed in the process which was pretty cool and helped make the show feel a bit more coherent rather than just a "plot of the week" series which for the most part it has been.
