* MovingTheGoalposts: The Cluster had no intention of bringing Killgore to their ranks, first demonstrated when they added a height requirement to their recruitment policy (it used to be "Must be a Robot and want to conquer humanity"), then when they stated that capturing Jenny would only bring him up to janitorial duties.



* ProperlyParanoid: When Jenny offers to give herself up to Killgore, she had Brad and Tuck masquerade as Cluster Drones in order to get him off her back for good. Killgore, knowing Jenny would pull some stunt mistaking him for an idiot, calls the ''real'' Cluster in advance.

Added DiffLines:

* UnexplainedRecovery: Though Played For Laughs, it's never explained how Killgore is able to escape every fate Jenny tries sending him to, but it's also Played For Drama as his constant persistence adds to Jenny's SanitySlippage.

* VillainsOutShopping: Apparently, the Cluster has their own recruitment office right in the middle of the city. Note that it never shows up again after this episode nor was its existence ever established earlier.

* AlwaysABiggerFish: What Nora keep trying to teach Jenny at the beginning of the episode. Sure, Jenny is complacent in her abilities now, but it's only a matter of time until someone more advance is able to upstage her. In this case: Armagedroid.

* BatmanGambit: How Jenny and Nora defeat Armagedroid. The last weapon he ripped from Jenny in their final duel was a proton bomb designed to kill him first and foremost, running on a timer not even she could stop, so him putting the bomb within his destruction chambers was just the opening they needed to put him down.



* SelfDestructMechanism: Armagedroid conveniently comes with a self-destruct option.

to:

* MyGreatestFailure: To Nora, Armagedroid is this, after going off the deep end and turning against humanity by following what he was programmed to do. The XJ series was something she made to replace and make up for Armagedroid's creation, and never intended for Jenny to ever fight him thinking he was dead below the Earth.
* SelfDestructMechanism: The proton bomb Armagedroid conveniently comes with a self-destruct option.
"conveniently" takes from Jenny.

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Though never really employed by them, Killgore freed Jenny and allowed her to go all out on the Cluster Drones after they'd gone back on their word on letting him lead their armies in exchange for XJ-9.

* SanitySlippage: Jenny goes through one as a result of the above-mentioned montage, going as far as to ruin her own surprise party and [[NotHyperbole falling to pieces]] over how Killgore is going to ambush her next.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Jenny nearly goes through with offing Killgore when no one is around, deploying the biggest weapons she had to eradicate him once and for all, [[WhatYouAreInTheDark only to stop herself after seeing him struggle to get up after falling over]].

'''Armagedroid'''

'''Production code:''' 208a

'''Original air date:''' 3/25/2005 ''(produced in 2004)''

Jenny takes on the [[Main/{{Kaiju}} kaiju-sized]] weapon-destroying robot, Armagedroid, an old creation of Dr. Wakeman.

!! "Armagedroid" contains examples of:
* AIIsACrapshoot: Armagedroid was created to destroy and disarm all weapons. He just can't discern between friends and enemies.
* GiantEqualsInvincible: Armegedroid. And a few others, but Armagedroid is really the only foe Jenny can't beat in a straight fight.
* ImplacableMan: Armagedroid is very hard to stop. No matter what Jenny throws at him, it bounces off and he just rips the weapon off of her.
* {{Kaiju}}: Armagedroid.
* SelfDestructMechanism: Armagedroid conveniently comes with a self-destruct option.

----

'''Killgore'''

'''Production code:''' 208b

'''Original air date:''' 3/25/2005 ''(produced in 2004)''

Jenny finds herself under the harassment of evil, pint-sized windup toy Killgore, whom everyone finds to be adorable.

!! "Killgore" contains examples of:
* CardCarryingVillain: Killgore, in a somewhat literal sense: his price tag states he is indeed a villain.
* DeathbringerTheAdorable / HarmlessVillain: Killgore. Terrifying name, the robot itself...not so much.
* OverlyLongGag: The episode features a lengthy montage of Killgore shouting "surrender!".
* ThirdPersonPerson: Killgore talks like this.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: In spite of Killgore repeatedly going into TED Talks about how evil he is, everyone finds him adorable, to the point that they get mad at Jenny when she tries to destroy him.
