Claw, having just been handed his ass by Gadget, decides to be a dick and drop Penny from the ship to plummet her doom. Gadget jumps after, catches up to her and inflates his coat, thus allowing them to float down to safety. Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}, too.

[[AC: 1999 Movie]]
* Gadget managing to defeat Robo-Gadget by [[ItMakesSenseInContext pulling his neck pin off]]. He then takes RG's head and chucks it in the river.
* Shortly after, Claw [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty has captured Brenda]] and is preparing to take off in his helicopter. Gadget uses his Gadget Copter to rise to the helipad atop Scolex Tower-- "[[RuleOfThree For the third time]], ''SANFORD SCOLEX, YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!''" A battle ensues, with a missile from Claw's chopper blowing the Gadget Copter's fins off, and Gadget ends up hooked on one of the chopper's skids. Then [[ChekhovsGun Gadget recalls the guru's advice]], and unscrews a pen-- he uses the pen spring to launch the ink cartridge, which bounces around the helicopter cabin before landing on the red button on Claw's, well, claw, causing it to crush both the helicopter controls and the handcuffs restraining Brenda. Eventually, they both manage to escape, and (after a bunch of failed gadget call outs), glide to safety with a parasol. The Gadgetmobile zooms in and captures Claw in a cage, and Penny arrives with Sykes and the foot, giving Chief Quimby enough evidence to arrest Scolex and acquit Gadget.

* In "Bermuda Triangle," Claw gets so mad that Gadget is still alive that he ''crushes a diamond to dust with one hand'' in rage, which naturally cases MAD Cat and the unfortunate henchman who had to give the news to freak out at the very sight of it.

** "Haunted Castle" is probably Gadget's best episode. He's actually investigating things and doing his job instead of wandering around nearly killing himself (though, to be fair, the leads he's following were actually obvious traps laid by Claw), helps Penny get over her fear when she's [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes hampered by her fear of ghosts]], [[PapaWolf rescues her twice]], and actually realizes almost right away that it's Brain he's following, not a MAD agent; all in all spends the episode being halfway competent, making good decisions for once.

* MAD Cat, of all people, gets one after repeatedly being the ButtMonkey to an angry Dr. Claw. When Dr. Claw inevitably slams his fist down on his desk, MAD Cat ''superglues Claw's hand to the desk.'' Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfFunny.

* Claw gets one in "Dry Spell," where after Penny foils his plan to steal all the water in Metro City's reservoir and force the citizens to buy water at inflated prices, he gets pissed and decides to ''blow up the dam and '''drown the whole town'''''. And nearly succeeds, if not for Gadget intentionally saving the day for once, which probably doubles as a moment for Gadget as well.

* Gadget shows that even he has a BerserkButton in "The Amazon," when Dr. Claw kidnaps the scientist who gave him his gadgets. [[LetsGetDangerous The resulting car chase]] is possibly the single most {{Badass}} scene Gadget has in the whole show. As usual, Penny and Brain stow away in the Gadgetmobile to make sure he doesn't get hurt... and immediately wish they hadn't.

* "Don't Call Me Gadget" has [[ItMakesSenseInContext aliens place a chip in Gadget's head]] that will supposedly reverse his intelligence from [[MistakenForBadass smart to stupid.]] When the obvious happens, we truly see the full extent of what the cyborg can do when for the first time ever, a [[DumbassNoMore genuinely lucid]] Gadget decides to bring out the [[MoreDakka big guns!]]. This may even lend some character development as Gadget had stated earlier that he despised violence, but operating at peak mental efficiency, the kid gloves are off.

* One episode has [[ItMakesSenseInContext aliens place a chip in Gadget's head]] that will supposedly reverse his intelligence from [[MistakenForBadass smart to stupid.]] When the obvious happens, we truly see the full extent of what the cyborg can do when for the first time ever, a [[DumbassNoMore genuinely lucid]] Gadget decides to bring out the [[MoreDakka big guns!]]

* Penny gets one of these OncePreEpisode, foiling Dr. Claw, duping his henchmen, and saving the day (and Gadget) every time.

* One episode has [[ItMakesSenseInContext aliens place a chip in Gadget's head]] that will supposedly reverse his intelligence from [[MistakenForBadass smart to stupid.]] When the obvious happens, we finally see the full extent of what the cyborg can do when for the first time ever, a genuinely lucid Gadget decides to bring out the [[MoreDakka big guns!]]

* Gadget of all people gets one in "Haunted Castle", in his [[SmartBall few shining moments of compentency]]. First, when the Gadgetmobile goes over the side of the cliff with Penny and Brain inside, he is able to get them back up to safety. Later inside the castle, when Dr Claw sets the basement on fire, Gadget whips out his water-finger and puts out the fire quickly.

* In "Bermuda Triangle," Claw gets so mad that Gadget is still alive that he ''crushes a diamond to dust with his bare hands'' in rage, which naturally cases MAD Cat and the unfortunate henchman who had to give the news to freak out at the very sight of it.

Claw, having just benn handed his ass by Gadget, decides to be a dick and drop Penny from the ship to plummet her doom. Gadget jumps after, catches up to her and inflates his coat, thus allowing them to float down to saftey. Doubles as a HeartwarmingMoment, too.

* Not to forget "[[{{Pilot}} Gadget In Winterland]]", where he pretty much spends the entire episode protecting Penny and Brain from Claw's traps. All with a BadassMustache too.
