* TakeOverTheWorld: What Armstrong eventually sets out to do. After taking over Gyro's lab, he sets up a system that hooks into surveillance satellites and electrical grids, which not only [[BigBrotherIsWatching allows him to monitor practically everything]], but operate anything electrical by remote control. It's only by Launchpad crash landing on his broadcasting satellites that his plans are ruined.

Not only does it get them to the base, but its fire-extinguishing compartment proves crucial in defeating the robot.
