Episode 4: The Fat and the Furious

That's the Matrix of Leadership, of which they proceed to pour cheese directly into.

Anyway, with a title like what this episode has, it's pretty obvious what a big aspect of the episode is gonna be, right?

It's all about Coop using Megas to compete in a car show, and while that might sound like cheating at first, given that Megas is kind of a super robot and all, when it comes to actually competing, the outcome of the various tasks Megas is given are not only logical, but really funny too.

Of course, given both the movie reference in the title as well as this being a giant mecha show, the Glorft attack at a very inopportune moment while Megas' CPU Core is damaged, leading to a car chase. With mecha!

Speaking of the mecha, while it might not be immediately obvious to some, there's alot of Gundam influence in the mecha designs of this show. One big example from this episode being that one of the Glorft mechs is very much designed after the Zeong from the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime. We'll see more design influences as the show goes on.

While the character comedy is always great, the most surprising takeaway of the episode is the character development for Kiva. While there were certainly signs of it in previous episodes, this one makes a big jump in Kiva getting some enjoyment out of life thanks to her not having to constantly fight for her life in the future. It's telling that not only does she end up taking pride in winning a trophy that she felt was dumb at first, but she's seen having fun with Megas' manual override system during the credits.

Oh, yeah, that's something I've been neglecting to mention in these write-ups, huh? Every episode has a credits gag, such as the crew finding the Planet of the Space Amazons at the end of episode 2. Always appreciated, even if season 1's' credit gags are mainly just still images.

By the way, the car show in this episode is sponsored by PoPTV, and it does end up getting destroyed, so does that count as a PoPTV item getting smashed? I think it does, as such:

PoPTV Stuff Destroyed:

A satellite
A billboard
A car show
A news van

And yes, the manual override for Megas is a DDR machine.
