1	The Fantastic Four are fighting the latest Doombot when it has a breakdown and begins to repeat, "No destroy!" They take it back to the Baxter Building, where it and Ben become friends. But "Bruiser" is still a Doombot, and Doom is still looking to destroy the Four. Could their new friend be part of it?
2	!!This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
3	* CharacterCatchphrase: Bruiser continually uses the phrase "Says who?"
4	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Reed and Susan allege that Doom can't understand their teammates while Doom is trying to stop Ben and Johnny's rescue attempt.
5	-->'''Reed''': Don't you understand, Victor? They don't care how ingenious your defences are or how amazing your science is; they just care about rescuing us.
6	-->'''Doom''': What are you blathering on about?
7	-->'''Susan''': You'll never stop them, Doom, because you don't know ''how'' to fight them.
8	** Played with later when Doom reveals that he has a plan for the contingency of Bruiser pulling a HeelFaceTurn.
9	* ExpospeakGag: After Bruiser has taken Reed and Susan.
10	-->'''Johnny''': Now where would he have gone.
11	-->'''HERBIE''': Ahem. Although I may not be a latest-generation Doombot, I am sophisticated enough to know that his most likely destination is the Latverian embassy.
12	-->'''Johnny''': Oh, I know! He's probably at Doom's castle!
13	-->'''HERBIE''': ''sigh''
14	* FaceHeelTurn: Bruiser.
15	* InstantAIJustAddWater: Reed says HERBIE isn't sentient, but it's hard to believe when HERBIE is doing things like going on strike because he feels insulted.
16	* InThatOrder: A variant; when Johnny is captured, he tells Ben to rescue his sister...and Reed too, if he can.
17	* InvincibleIncompetent: Ben and Johnny manage to create the "strategy" which impresses Doom by accident. They outmanuever his missiles because their squabbling shakes the jet, and they employ a "two-pronged attack" because they can't agree how to get in.
18	* KilledOffForReal: Dr. Doom, if OffscreenInertia applies. He is shown looking up to see Bruiser's self-destructing body falling on him.
19	* NotQuiteDead: Bruiser transferred his programming into Reed's PDA. His ''body'' self-destructed, but his ''mind'' is very much still alive.
20	* SelfDestructMechanism: Doom installed one in Bruiser just in case. He activates it at the end of the episode. This gets him HoistByHisOwnPetard.
21	* ThisCannotBe: Doom is incredulous when Ben and Johnny consistently get past his security.
22	* TitleDrop: Dr. Doom uses the title phrase when trying to get Bruiser to listen to him.
23	* UnrealisticBlackHole: in Doom's castle. He uses it to get in Ben and Johnny's way, but Ben closes it by using a thunderclap.
