* This is more of an example for parents: Charlie and Doc Greene were deeply concerned when they found out that Cody, Frankie, and the Bots were sent back in time. [[spoiler: There they are being pursued and hunted down by a MadScientist and absolutely nobody could help them out because nobody knows them. Unfortunately, due to a mishap, that MadScientist ended up ruling Griffin Rock and not even Cody's family remembers who he is, leaving them all alone in their journey to fix their timeline.]]
* Doctor Thaddeus Morocco. He is a FauxAffablyEvil MadScientist who somehow got his hands on a mechanical FountainOfYouth. [[spoiler: The sheer idea that a villain in a kid's show has the ability to (theoretically) live forever could induce fear in young children due to the fact that Morocco rapidly ages and is now completely dependent on the machine to keep himself alive, making him a type of cyborg. The scenes where uses the machine are disturbing because he is suddenly a hobbling old man and after being in the machine for a few seconds, he is in the prime of his youth once again.]]

On an island full of dangerous people who are willing to hurt him.]]

** And compounding the fear is that there's a very real possibility that [[spoiler: Graham]] could get hurt or even killed by frightened and angry townsfolk.
* In the second half of the GrandFinale, "Transformations", the Morocco virus is able to kidnap Cody and uses the above mentioned mysterious hypnotic phones to [[BrainwashedAndCrazy turn him into a weapon to destroy the Rescue Bots]]. Not only are the Bots ''firmly'' FamilyOfChoice for Cody by this point but taking them out would have put his father and his older siblings in danger as well.

* Only a couple episodes into the series and a mission goes unexpectedly wrong when a redirection of lava ends up flowing into a tunnel that leads directly to the command center where Cody is stationed. And to make matters worse, he's not near his com so his siblings can't warn him! Small wonder Kade, Graham and Dani all start panicking when they realize this.
