Recap / Dinotrux S 03 E 03 Volcano

Go To

The local volcano looks like it's ready to blow, and it's up to the Dinotrux to decide if they want to run while they can or stay and try to save their community.


Tropes:

  • Borrowed Catchphrase: Click-Clack gets so inspired by everyone choosing to fight the volcano, he says "Let's Trux it up!" before Ty can.
  • Callback:
    • Having barely survived a volcano eruption himself, Ty is the first to suggest all Dinotrux evacuate the crater beforehand.
    • When evacuation from the crater is hindered by Scraptors, Ty suggests everyone take the slide they built for just such an occasion, only for it to also be attacked by Scrapadactyls.
  • Chekhov's Volcano
  • Everyone Join the Party: As others notice what the Dinotrux are doing, more and more of them join in to try and save the crater.
  • Game Changer: As a result of this episode, the Trux now have a lava pool readily accessible to them, which is going to become a big deal in a few episodes.
  • Heroic Second Wind: Although the first to suggest evacuation, Ty takes one last look at everything they've built and realizes he can't just let it all go so easily.
  • Line in the Sand: Ty choosing to stay behind and fight the volcano, offers everyone else the chance to leave as he knows failure means possible death.
    Ty: We all put a lot of ourselves into this place and I can't just give up. Look, I'm not asking anyone to stay-
    Dozer: Might need to ask Skya, but you don't need to ask me.
    Skya: Who says you need to ask?
    Ton-Ton: We've got your backs, dudes.
