History Recap / SonicBoomS2E26RobotsFromTheSkyPartOne

* ShoutOut: When Mighton and Bolts say their floating city is called Morristown, Cubot asks why they didn't call it "[[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Sky Sanctuary]]".

Team Sonic is forced to square off with Eggman's usual ''and'' these strange newcomers, but soon enough the fight is wrapped up (literally) when Bolts extends his arm and wraps it around them before detaching it from his body and growing a new one. Eggman celebrates, claiming this as a rare victory for himself, and prompts Mighton and Bolts to leave with him before his foes find a way to turn this around on him. As they exit, Sonic manages to free himself and his teammates from Bolts' discarded arm, which Tails looks over. He deduces that these robots are far too advanced for Eggman to craft. Team Sonic's resident technophobe Sticks chimes in about this development, in spite of her friends' unenthused reactions; she's taken this as a sign that the robo-apocalypse she's been blabbing about is no longer nigh-- it's ''now'', and they're all liable to get destroyed. Ever the voice of reason, Tails suggests they not assume the worst and investigate their new robotic attackers further, and while Sticks agrees to this, she's not willing to let go of her robo-apocalypse theory just yet.

Meanwhile, Eggman has taken Mighton and Bolts to his lair, explaining that Team Sonic is a bunch of ne'er-do-wells that are always menacing him instead of the other way around, mentioning the incident with the change cup... which he realizes was just him taking change from the change cup all along instead of Team Sonic stealing it, making his confronting them earlier a waste of time. Moving on from that SNAFU, Eggman continues to explain that Team Sonic is always wrecking his robots-- key word, "his", because Mighton notices that terming and doesn't seem happy over it. Eggman hastily excuses it as the robots being his children and changes the subject to where the two robots come from. They explain they originate from a city in the clouds, populated with sentient robots that treat each other with respect. The name of this wondrous place? Morristown. No, really. Orbot and Cubot pick up on this plain name and suggest better names; Bolts is impressed and wishes they were there when they were deciding. Eggman realizes the city has no overlord and decides the place would be better suited under his thumb. He doesn't let Mighton and Bolts know about this, of course.

Elsewhere, Team Sonic is walking through the forest towards the crash site of Mighton and Bolts' ship, and they're discussing what to do about them. Amy wants everyone to settle things peacefully, and Sticks believes that's a good idea... because they won't expect it when she clobbers 'em with bricks. The group arrives at the ship, and Sonic and Tails enter to take a look around. Tails scans the ship for details and finds out the ship is ''literally'' out of this world, having gleaned from the GPS that their mysterious attackers came somewhere from the sky. Sticks, having heard this, now believes them to be both robots ''and'' aliens, which only makes her look forward more to beating them down.

Back in Eggman's lair, Eggman proposes a toast to his new allies and orders Orbot and Cubot to get refreshments. When they return with apple juice instead of apple cider, Eggman physically and verbally abuses them as usual. Mighton and Bolts ''definitely'' notice this and, now aware of Eggman's true colors, label him a foe to robotkind and turn to leave. Eggman tries to convince them that that's just their dynamic, but fails. Bolts, in an act of kindness, tells the abused minions that they're free to leave with them to Morristown. The two are clearly overjoyed at the thought of leaving Eggman's cruelty behind, but the heartwarming moment is quickly interrupted when Eggman activates magnets in the ceiling, grabbing Mighton and Bolts and keeping them in place. Mighton ensures their kidnapper that he'll never get away with this, and Eggman defiantly asks who's gonna stop him.

In Tails' Workshop, Team Sonic (AKA, the group that's gonna stop Eggman) has gathered their evidence and are attempting to find out for sure whether or not Mighton and Bolts are really evil, and of course, Sticks is ''still'' convinced they are. But their ruling is interrupted when Orbot and Cubot come a-knockin', Amy immediately certain the two have shown up to rat on Eggman's plot like they always do. They inform the team that Mighton and Bolts are being held captive at Eggman's and request they go there and save them. Knuckles unenthusiastically asks why they should be trusted, but Tails just wants to skip the game of 20 Questions and meet the people who built the ship. The team has no choice but to leave for Eggman's lair.

Back at Tails' Workshop, Tails and Bolts have teamed up to fix the ship, which Tails has noted is overloaded with malware (more so than an email from Old Monkey). Mighton apologizes to Sonic for not believing at first that Team Sonic was on their side all along. He tells Bolts to start up the ship so they can return to Morristown, and once again, they're bombarded with suggestions for a better name; Bolts is impressed again and asks what ''their'' town is named. Knuckles tells him that it used to be Unnamed Village, but [[Recap/SonicBoomS2E18UnnamedEpisode they recently changed it to]] ''[[Recap/SonicBoomS2E18UnnamedEpisode Hedgehog]]'' [[Recap/SonicBoomS2E18UnnamedEpisode Village]]. Bolts is no longer impressed. Before they leave, Mighton expresses that he's glad they and Team Sonic could make peace... and on cue, Sticks prepares to whack him from behind with a brick. Fortunately for robot-organic relations, Sonic silently calls her off, and she drops the brick, whistling. Mighton and Bolts take off for Morristown; most of Team Sonic waves them goodbye, but Sticks instead grunts in annoyance, not happy she had to let the robots get away without her personal brand of retaliation.

Soon after Mighton and Bolts leave, the heroes catch on that they're not alone. Solid red eyes pop up in the bushes around them-- hostiles, no doubt-- but refusing to go down without a fight, they get into battle stances, ready to deal with their new camouflaged threats. The mysterious ambushers fire a barrage of lasers at them, and for a good few seconds, the gang narrowly manages to dodge the onslaught... but their luck doesn't last, as Tails is suddenly blasted out of the air by a direct hit. Concerned for their injured teammate, his friends are quick to surround him as they scream his name in shock; the episode fades to black here on this dramatic turn (and Knuckles, not being fond of cliffhanger endings, ''hates'' that). Team Sonic probably didn't expect ''any'' of this to happen when they got up in the morning, but what they have yet to realize is that this is only the prelude to a particularly ''eventful'' day.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Eggman traps Mighton and Bolts with magnets in the ceiling to extract the location of Morristown from them, threatening to zap them when Team Sonic arrives. Once the two are freed, Bolts turns the magnets on again, attracting Eggman's wrist controller and then electrocuting him with his own trap.

Now, usually, this would be the point in time where most of Team Sonic's adventures would end. But this ''isn't'' business as usual. Soon after Mighton and Bolts leave, the heroes catch on that they're not alone. Solid red eyes are popping up in the bushes around them-- hostiles, no doubt-- but refusing to go down without a fight, they get into battle stances, ready to retaliate against their unseen foes. The mysterious ambushers fire a barrage of lasers at them, and for a good while, the gang barely manages to dodge the onslaught... but their luck doesn't last, as Tails is suddenly blasted out of the air by a direct hit. Concerned for his well-being, his friends are quick to surround their injured teammate as they scream his name in shock. The episode ends here on this dramatic turn (and Knuckles, not being fond of cliffhanger endings, ''hates'' that). Team Sonic probably didn't expect ''any'' of this to happen when they got up in the morning, but what they're slowly realizing is that this is only the prelude to a particularly eventful day.

We must regrettably leave Team Sonic for now, as the episode ends here on this dramatic turn (and Knuckles, not being fond of cliffhanger endings, ''hates'' that). They probably didn't expect ''any'' of this to happen when they got up in the morning, but what they're slowly realizing is that these events are only the prelude to a ''really'' long and stressful day.

* BrickJoke: And one containing an ''actual'' brick, to boot. Midway through the episode, Sticks plots to hit Mighton and Bolts with bricks once they think they've made peace with Team Sonic, and sure enough, near the end of the episode, Mighton and Bolts make peace with Team Sonic... and Sticks pops up from behind Mighton, ready to hit him with a brick. Good thing Sonic stops this from happening.

The mysterious ambushers fire a barrage of lasers at them, and for a good while, the gang manages to dodge them... until Tails is suddenly hit dead-on by one in midair. His concerned friends surround their injured teammate and scream his name as the episode ends (and Knuckles, not being fond of cliffhanger endings, ''hates'' that).

Usually, this would be the point where most of Team Sonic's adventures would end. But this isn't business as usual; one of their biggest stories yet is just beginning.

Good thing Sonic stops this from happening.

Speaking of Eggman's lair, Eggman still has Mighton and Bolts trapped there and demands the location of Morristown from them, but Mighton says they'll never tell him where it is. Eggman is about to electrocute the info out of them when Team Sonic performs their usual entrance of knocking down Eggman's front door (and tiring of this entrance, Eggman considers getting them their own key). Once again, the evil scientist orders his Badniks into action, and Team Sonic fights both them and the lair's defenses, all while Orbot and Cubot return and Orbot fakes surprise that Team Sonic broke in (but Cubot nearly spills the beans, being too stupid to realize). Tails easily frees Mighton and Bolts by turning off the magnets through one of Eggman's consoles, thanks to the doctor's weak password protection. Eggman flees in fear from his former captors and hides behind Fire Bot, who is quickly disposed of along with his remaining robots. Bolts then turns Eggman's magnets against him, attracting his wrist controller and zapping him as he threatened to do. The others leave, and Bolts once again extends an invite to Orbot and Cubot to come to Morristown, but they refuse it because, as Orbot explains, they're needed at the lair to tend to the injured Eggman.
