Recap / Dinotrux S 08 E 07 Ankylodump Games

Go To

Ton-Ton wants to attend the annual Ankylodump Games, but has to go in disguise to avoid being discovered by D-Structs and giving away the location of the Renegade Base.

Tropes:

  • Chronic Hero Syndrome: D-Structs and D-Stroy set a trap for Ty by letting the captured Ton-Ton know they are planning on attacking the Ankylodump Games. Ty leaves the gang behind to warn the Ankylodumps, only to find the arena empty and the D-Brothers waiting to lock Ty in the arena with the Dreadtrux.
    D-Structs: We knew you'd let your friends build while you played the hero. So predictable.
    Ty: I like to think of it as reliable.
  • Crisis Makes Perfect: Ton-Ton's one weakness at the games is the rock toss. When Ty is trapped in the Ankylodump Valley with the Dreadtrux the only way to save him is to hit the switch the opens the door with a rock, a shot that is significantly harder to make than the standard rock toss target. Ton-Ton manages to make the shot and is so pleased with himself he sees no need to participate in the games anymore.
  • Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: Skrap-It is seen singing a Scraptool version of the main theme to himself.
    Skrap-It: Scrap it up, Scraptools (Let's go!) Scrap as one, Scraptools (Let's go!)
  • Distinguishing Mark: Ton-Ton has a distinct scrape on his underside. Skrap-It, having heard Ton-Ton was going to disguise himself but not knowing what his disguise is spends quite some time at the games trying to look under the Ankylodumps for the scrape.
  • Full-Body Disguise: Since the only real difference between Ankylodumps is their color, a coat of paint is all Ton-Ton needs to be unrecognizable. Unfortunately, he is a terrible actor and frequently risks giving himself away because of that.
    Ace: Nobody will spot him, nobody will give us away.
    Revvit: Unless Ton-Ton gives himself away?
    Ace: Yeah, but what are the chances of that? ...You're right, let's go.
  • Sdrawkcab Name: Ton-Ton decides on "Not-Not" as his alias.
