Recap / Dinotrux S 06 E 05 Downshift

Go To

When a fight with D-Structs leads to Dozer blowing a gasket, losing a significant amount of coolant and rendering him incapable of regulating his own internal temperature. It's up to the gang to find a way to fix Dozer before his hot headed personality causes him to overheat and explode!

Tropes:

  • An Aesop: Every problem can't be solved with aggression and sometimes you need to cool down and take things easy.
  • Call-Back: George again mentions that he used to have anger problems and thus helps talk Dozer through finding his "Downshift" and calming down.
  • High-Pressure Emotion: Without any coolant, even the slightest sign of anger causes Dozer to start steaming and overheating.
  • Literal Metaphor: Invoked; while Dozer does blow a gasket, he doesn't do it out of rage (metaphorically blowing a gasket), it just leads to him being vulnerable to overheating if he does get angry.
  • Machine Blood: The damage to Dozer's gasket causes him to visibly "bleed" out his coolant.
