Recap / Dinotrux S 07 E 05 Magnodozer

Go To

In order to power through the trecherous cave-in canyon to find a new sorce of superchargers, Dozer is outfitted with power armor making him unstopable! At least, until magnetic ore gets involved...

Tropes:

  • Aesop Amnesia: Once again, Dozer has to learn to control his aggression and that sometimes the best thing to do is just slow down for a second. To be fair, it's just Dozer's nature to approach things head on.
  • Brick Joke: When Dozer gets annoyed with the Scraptools stuck to his face, they wonder if having a sticky face is making him angry and if that's why D-Structs is also angry, but Skrap-It assures them he'd know if D-Structs had a sticky face. At the end of the episode Skrap-It falls on D-Structs head and pauses to remark that his face is slippery.
  • Hollywood Magnetism: Some magnetic ore sticks to Dozer and reacts with the supercharger installed in him to supercharge the magnetic force. Not only do pieces of scrap metal in the area start sticking to him, Scraptools, Scraptors, Scrapadactyls and even D-Structs find themselves stuck to Dozer and unable to move.
  • Mecha Expansion Pack: Dozer gets outfitted with fin expansions with claws that allow him to destroy things rather than push things, and a harpooon mounted on his tail to pull rocks down.
  • Rule of Three: This is the third time letting an out of control Trux run without resistance is brought up as an idea. This time it's actually a good idea as Dozer can control the rate a which he runs his treads so he can run them at a controlled rate such that he's not burning out too quickly, just running at a slow steady rate to burn out the supercharger.
  • Sticky Situation: Just with magnetics instead of glue. The Scraptools even think the reason they're stuck to Dozer is because he spilled glue on himself.
  • Something We Forgot: When D-Struts ends stuck to Dozer the two fall over a cliff and hanging off by D-Structs' tail. The gang builds something to save Dozer, but just leave D-Structs hanging to figure his own way out.
