Recap / Dinotrux S 03 E 08 Slamtools

Go To

D-Structs teams up with the hammer-like Slamtools who quickly tie down all of the Dinotrux and Reptools except for Click-Clack. It's up to Click-Clack to go out alone and find Garby before D-Structs and the Scraptools disassemble everyone.


Tropes:

  • A Day in the Limelight: With all the other Trux and Tools tied down, Click-Clack gets most of the action to himself.
  • Callback: The Trux urge Click-Clack to go get Garby to help deal with D-Structs and the Slamtools. When Click-Clack questions what good Garby will do, it's pointed out that Garby has beaten D-Structs in a one-on-one fight before.
  • Gulliver Tie-Down: The Slamtools bind all the Dinotrux to the ground overnight, but turn out to be so good at doing this, they manage to swarm on Garby and tie him when he's awake before he can even react.
  • Counting Bullets: Having weaponized launching his bits, Click-Clack uses this bluff in order to hold onto his drill bit as a cutter to free the others.
    Click-Clack: (To the last remaining Slamtool) I know what you're thinking; "He's a Rotillian Reptool, which means he's only got room in there for six bits, but did he fire all six, or only five?"
    (The Slamtool runs away)
  • Improvised Weapon: Realizing he has to do something, Click-Clack fires his bits out of his head at the Slamtools to fight them off.
  • Tempting Fate: As the Trux lament that they are all completely tied down, Skya remarks that they forgot about her hook. She tries to do something with it to set everyone free, only for a team of Slamtools to grab it out of the air and tie that down, too.
  • Took a Level in Badass: After Garby is immediately pinned down, Click-Clack finds himself with no choice but to toughen up.
    Garby: Clacky, what's gotten into you?
    Click-Clack: I have no idea! But quick, let's finish this before it gets out of me!
