* MouseWorld: [=GMOs=] have caused rats to evolve to the point they are now able to make their own tools and form their own society.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Mason's response to seeing just how effective the TT-15 is at murdering rodents... ''sentient'' rodents who now can't care less about anything else but escaping its warpath. It's what leads him to destroy the robot himself, ending his conflict with the rats on a happy note.

* EasilyForgiven: Despite Mason purchasing the machines that slaughtered dozens of their number, the rats are almost instantly willing to bury the hatchet.

The fact that he [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone was horrified at what he'd wrought upon them]] and went out of his way to put a stop to it might've had something to do with that.



* GoneHorriblyRight: The TT-15 is extremely effective at exterminating rats. So horrifically effective in fact that Mason begins sympathising with the rodents.

* NonMaliciousMonster: The TT-15 may employ horribly brutal methods in its disposal of the rats but there's never really any evidence that it's anything other than a machine following its programming.

* NonMaliciousMonster: The TT-15 may employ horribly brutal methods in its disposal of the rats but there's never really any evidence that it's anything other than a machine following its programming. Granted, this opens up the question on ''why'' it had to be programmed to be [[NoKillLikeOverkill incredibly cruel, ruthless and brutal]].


Added DiffLines:

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: What finally puts down the TT-15 is Mason's quintessential farmer's double-barreled shotgun. Which is pretty damn impressive considering the amount of punishment the thing can put up with.

* {{Determinator}}: The TT-15 is programmed for one thing and one thing only: killing rats, and it '''will not stop''' for any reason, even after being critically damaged by a mini-tank kamikaze attack, and only does when farmer Mason decides enough is enough and finally puts the thing down with his shotgun.

* Foreshadowing: Mason's reaction at seeing how [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill brutally effective]] the TT-15 is at hunting rats isn't satisfaction, but downright ''horror'' at the carnage and frankly unnecessary amount of violence that the robot hunts the vermin. It makes it fairly apparent that he's not fully supportive of the TT-15's methods which results in him taking out the machine itself in the finale.
