The first episode of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command to be written for television, in which Zurg breaks a criminal named Torque out of prison and grants him self-duplication abilities such that Buzz Lightyear and his team must defeat a clone army known as the Torque Armada.
Tropes associated with this episode include:
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Torque is wanted for robbery, smuggling, terrorism and unpaid parking tickets.
-
Ass Pull: Parodied when Zurg is confused that the unbreakable bonds broke, and the Grubs admit a more honest name would be “very difficult to break”. - Affably Evil: Zurg tries to be this to boost productivity but ultimately gives up on it.
- Big "NO!": Booster's reaction as the tankers get closer to Capital Planet.
- Clone Army: The titular Torque Armada.
- Card-Carrying Villain: Both Zurg and Torque.
- Hates Being Touched: Zurg tells Torque “Don’t. Ever. Touch. Me. … I have this thing about personal space.”
- Hijacked by Ganon: Sure enough, Torque ends up a henchman of Zurg.
- Lightbulb Joke:Torque: Hey, Lightyear! How many space rangers does it take to change a lighting filament? A hundred. One to hold the filament and ninety-nine to turn the star cruiser!
