A Roaring Robot Problem (Transcript)

This is the 39th episode of Traffic Squadron: Roadranger.

One day at the base, the Roadrangers were cleaning up the base. Benji was sweeping the floor, Vicky was dusting the shelves, Dale was checking the couches for anything that got in between the cushions.

Dale: (Pulls out some chewed gum) Eww. (Puts it in the trash and continues)

And Kristy and Ace were wiping the windows.

Kristy: Gee, couldn't Speedstar just use his magic to automatically clean the base?

Ace: You can't depend on magic to do everything in life, Kristy.

Kristy: And why not?

Ace: I think you'd need to see what you're doing. Plus, Speedstar said that using magic could unintentionally clear something that's not supposed to be cleaned.

Benji: What wouldn't be supposed to be clean, Ace?

Ace: Well gas tanks for one.

Benji: I guess that makes sense.

Dale: Vicky, how many times has Speedstar told you to put your gum in the trash can and not in the couch?

Vicky: I keep forgetting, Dale.

Dale: Well, try harder to remember. I'm sick of pulling your gum out of the coach!

Kristy: Wasn't Jack supposed to be here?

Ace: Speedstar said that Jack was busy with something, so he'll be a little late.

Kristy: He is? What is he busy with?

Ace: Didn't say.

Dale: I sure hope it's something that takes care of chewed up gum and puts it in it's proper place.

Vicky: Like something like that would ever be made.

Dale: And maybe they didn't have to if somebody would remember to dispose of their gum properly!

Kristy: Don't be so hard on Vicky, Dale. If it makes you feel better, why don't you clean the windows with Ace while I check for anything in the couch?

Dale: You'd do that for me, Kristy?

Kristy: Sure I would, Dale.

Dale: Thank you, Kristy.

Kristy gave Dale her spray and cloth, and Dale went over to the windows with Ace.

Ace: Uh, Dale, why are you here?

Dale: Kristy and I swapped jobs.

Ace: Do you think she's enjoying it?

Dale looked over to Kristy, who just found another piece of gum in the couch.

Kristy: Eww! (Closes her eyes and throws it in the trash)

Dale: She was willing to help.

Just then, Jack came in.

Jack: Hey guys.

Vicky: Hey, Jack.

Kristy: We were told that the reason you're late is because you're working on something.

Jack: Oh I was, and I'm done. Introducing, Cleaning Robot Bear.

Then, a black robotic bear with cleaning supplies in it's hands came in.

Vicky: The Cleaning Robot Bear?

Jack: Yep. I built him to clean up the base for us.

Dale: Wait, are you serious?

Jack: Of course I am.

Ace: Jack, do you really think that a robot helping to clean the base is the best solution?

Jack: Hey, that wolf who has the same name as me working at that arcade has a robot helper.

Ace: But do you know how to make robots?

Jack: How hard can it be? Anyway, watch this. Cleaning Robot Bear, clean the couch.

Cleaning Robot Bear: Clean couch.

Then, the Cleaning Robot Bear went over and quickly cleared the couch and put all the chewed gum and all the other small pieces of trash into the trash can.

Kristy: Whoa.

Cleaning Robot Bear: Couch cleared.

Ace:.....Oh wow.

Benji: Can he clean the floor, Jack?

Jack: Sure can. Cleaning Robot Bear, clean the floor.

Cleaning Robot Bear: Clean floor.

The Cleaning Robot Bear then used a mop to mop the whole floor in a quick amount of time.

Cleaning Robot Bear: Floor cleaned.

Benji: Oh wow. He did a pretty good job.

Dale: Now can he do the windows?

Jack: He sure can. Cleaning Robot Bear, clean the windows.

Cleaning Robot Bear: Clean windows.

The Roadrangers watched as Cleaning Robot Bear did his work. They watched, but gave shocked faces. Then, the Cleaning Robot Bear came back into view.

Cleaning Robot Bear: Windows cleaned.

Ace: Uh....Jack...

Jack: Yes, Ace?

Ace: What have you done?

The windows where shown to have been completely shattered.

Jack: Oh, that part I haven't gotten completely worked out.

Jack went over to Cleaning Robot Bear and turned it off.

Jack: Sorry about that, guys. I'll pay for the broken windows.

Later, Jack brought his robot home.

Mr. Pandawoski: Hey, son. How did work go?

Jack: Not so well, Dad. In fact, I just came home to drop my robot off.

Mrs. Pandawoski: What happened?

Jack: The robot thought cleaning windows meant breaking them into tiny pieces. I'm just dropping the robot off, then I'm going to go to the hardware store to buy replacement windows.

Jack left his robot in his room and headed on our again to the hardware store. Up in the Velocity Star ship, Brakenstein came to see Tigian.

Brakenstein: Master Tigian, I've got some interesting news.

Tigian: What is it?

Brakenstein: Road Blue built himself a robot to try and do the chores around their base.

Tigian: Why is that any of my concern?

Brakenstein: Well, when he told the robot to clean the windows, the robot shattered the windows.

Tigian: Hey, that sounds quite good. I think that robot would do us some good. Bring me that robot.

Brakenstein: But how? How can I get into Road Blue's house?

Tigian: Wait until night time and sneak into his house.

Brakenstein: Hmmm. Alright. I'll do that, boss.

Later that night, Brakenstein came to Jack's house when Jack was a sleep. He snuck in through the window. He saw Jack sleeping in his bed.

Jack: (Talking in his sleep) No, the robot....can...clean those...windows...(snores)

Brakenstein looked around. Then, saw the closet.

Brakenstein: Aha, that must be where he's keeping the robot.

Brakenstein opened up the closet, but the robot wasn't there.

Brakenstein: Oh. Not there. Maybe it's in the garage?

He went out to the garage, but didn't find anything.

Brakenstein: Nope. Not here. The basement?

Brakenstein then went into the basement to look, but didn't find anything.

Brakenstein: Not here, either? Strange. If the robot wasn't in the closet, or the garage, or the basement, where is it then?

Brakenstein then went over to Jack sleeping in his bed.

Brakenstein: Maybe panda boy can give me some clues.

Jack: Fine....I'll put....the robot into....the trapdoor...under my bed.

Brakenstein: Trapdoor under bed?

Brakenstein lifted Jack's bed up to see a trapdoor under the bed. Then, he opened the door to see the robot.

Brakenstein: There it is.

Brakenstein then got the robot out, and put Jack's bed back to where it was. Then he got out with the robot. The next morning, Jack hadn't arrived at work yet while the rest of the Roadrangers were already there and doing their usual jobs.

Dale: Do you think Jack had improved on his robot since yesterday?

Ace: I hope so. At least he was kind enough to replace those windows his robot broke.

Kristy: Since the windows were new, Ace and I didn't have much cleaning today.

Benji: It could be possible he hasn't made the upgrades to the robot yet. So he might not bring the robot in today.

Then, Jack came in with a frown on his face.

Vicky: So you haven't gotten the upgrades to your robot done yet?

Jack: No.

Dale: What's the matter, Jack. Did you try to make the upgrades?

Jack: No.

Ace: So you haven't even started the upgrades yet?

Jack: No. But it's because....

Jack started bursting into tears, leaving the rest of the Roadrangers confused.

Benji: What's the matter, Jack?

Jack: My robot is....gone!

Others: What?

Kristy: Your robot is gone?

Ace: Did you get rid of it?

Jack: No.

Ace: Did your parents get rid of it?

Jack: When I asked them this morning, they said no. I think the robot was stolen.

Benji: Stolen?

Jack: Yes. Stolen. I put my robot in the trapdoor under my bed before I went to bed, but when I checked this morning, it was gone. So I think it was stolen.

Vicky: Maybe you took the robot away while sleep walking.

Jack: Sleep walking isn't real, Vick.

Vicky: Yes it is.

Jack: No it's not. That's just a myth.

Vicky: It's not a myth. I should know, I saw it happen to my dad one time.

Jack: Maybe you dreamed that, Vicky.

Vicky: No, it was real.

Jack: You dreamed it.

Vicky: It was real.

Kristy: Alright. Enough, you two! Jack, maybe you just misplaced your robot.

Jack: I looked everywhere in the house. My closet, my basement, my garage, but it wasn't in any of those places. I even wanted to check my parents rooms, but they told me the robot wasn't there.

Dale: When we're done with work, we could go to your house to help.

Jack: It's no good. I've already looked everywhere. I even made a check list of all the places in my house I could look, and after I checked the last spot, I still didn't find it.

Kristy: Where was the last place you looked?

Jack: The dumpster.

Ace: If it was there, maybe the trash was already taken out.

Jack: The trash isn't going to be taken out for four more days. So if my robot was in the trash between last night and this morning, it would still be there now. I'm concluding that it was stolen. So when we're done with work, I'm going to put up lost robot posters around town.

Benji: Lost robot posters around town? I've never heard of that before.

Jack: Consider it a first then.

Up in the Velocity Star Ship, Brakenstein had just finished his changes to Jack's robot.

Tigian: Brakenstein, how is that robot coming along.

Brakenstein: I have just finished it, I present to you Cybear.

Cybear now had some silver armor on his body with evil red eyes, a fire blaster replacing his dusting hand, and a blaster hand.

Brakenstein: I've even reprogrammed him to take my orders instead of Road Blue's. Watch this. Cybear, attack scarecrow.

Cybear then saw a scarecrow that was in the the room.

Cybear: Attack scarecrow.

Cybear then fired a fire attack at the scarecrow, making it burn.

Scarecrow: AAAH! I'm on fire!

Tigian: Wait, did that scarecrow just talk?

Brakenstein: No. That was Graphite.

Graphite then came out from behind the scarecrow.

Graphite: Surprise. Brakenstein asked me to say that behind the scarecrow. He says it reminded him of something I saw in a movie about a fake wizard.

Tigian: Interesting. Now, take Cybear down to the Earth to destroy the Roadrangers.

Brakenstein: Yes, sir.

And they headed out. Down on Earth, Jack was putting up posters around town with his robot's image on them.

Kristy: Jack, I know you're determined to find your robot. But there's a chance that if it was stolen, whoever stole it probably took it apart.

Benji: That, and or sold it for parts.

Jack: I sure hope that hasn't happened.

Dale: And if it has?

Jack: Then I do not know what I'm going to do.

Meanwhile in an alley, Brakenstein and Cybear were waiting to come out.

Brakenstein: So, Road Blue has put up some missing robot posters around town? That's got to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Anyway, go and attack him and his friends.

Cybear: Attack Roadrangers.

And Cybear walked out. He then encountered the Roadrangers.

Cybear: Attack Roadrangers. (Fires some blasters at the Roadrangers)

Kristy: Whoa! Look out!

Everyone got out of the way.

Vicky: A Velocity Star Monster? Just what we need.

Kristy: We better transform!

All: Road Changer! (They transformed)

Kristy: Attack!

They charged for Cybear and began to fight. Cybear managed to knock back Kristy, then Dale, then Benji, then Vicky, then Ace, and lastly Jack.

Jack: Oof. Wait, there's something familiar about this monster.

Then, Cybear fired some fire at Jack.

Ace: Hold on, Jack.

Ace jumped in and got Jack out of the way.

Jack: Oh. Thanks, Ace. But there's something about this monster that's familiar.

Ace: What is it?

Jack: I am not sure. I feel as though I've seen him before somewhere.

Benji: How can that be? I don't remember fighting this monster before.

Brakenstein: Blast those Roadrangers, Cybear!

Cybear: Blast Roadrangers!

And Cybear blasted at the Roadrangers. The Roadrangers avoided the blasters.

Kristy: Oh man. Ace, can you try using your saw blade to slice this monster to bits?

Ace: Sure thing, sis. Converta-weapon.

Ace's converta-weapon converted into saw mode, then he charged for Cybear.

Ace: Saw blade!

But before Ace could hit Cybear, Jack jumped in.

Jack: NOOO!

And Jack knocked Ace out of the way.

Benji: Jack, what are you doing?

Dale: Ace was about to finish off that monster.

Jack: But that's the thing. I don't think this IS a monster.

Vicky: What?

Jack: I don't think this is a monster. I've figured out where I've seen this thing before. It's Cleaning Robot Bear!

The Roadrangers looked at Cybear, then remembered what Cleaning Robot Bear looked like, and it matched Cybear quite a lot.

Dale: Oh dear. Jack is right.

Kristy: Jack, we don't have a choice. We have to destroy this monster-

Jack: Robot!

Kristy: Whatever! It works for the Velocity Star Gang now.

Jack: I won't let my robot get destroyed.

Brakenstein: Cybear, destroy Road Blue!

Cybear: Destroy Road Blue!

Cybear then aimed at Jack and began blasting at him. Ace managed to get Jack out of the way.

Ace: Jack, we don't have a choice. We have to destroy it.

Jack: But....but we can't. Can't we just try changing him back?

Kristy: How can we do that?

Jack: Let's just get him back to the base.

Benji: And how can we do that?

Dale: If we take him back to the base, he might destroy it.

Jack: Well, we gotta think of something.

Kristy: No, Jack. It's a lost cause. We have to destroy or be destroyed.

Cybear: Destroy Roadrangers!

Then, Cybear blasted at the Roadrangers again.

Roadrangers: AAAAH! (Falls to the ground)

Then, Jack ran off.

Kristy: Jack, where are you going?

Jack: I'm going to find a way to save my robot.

And he was gone.

Benji: I cannot believe that guy.

Vicky: We cannot beat this monster without him.

Dale: We may not be able to beat the monster even with him. These are very powerful blasts.

Kristy: Dale is right. We better hurry back to the base until we can figure something out.

And they hurried back to the base.

Brakenstein: The Roadrangers have ran off for now. But when they come back, you shall destroy them.

Cybear: Destroy Roadrangers.

Brakenstein: Not right now. They're nowhere in side. We better wait for them to return. I sure hope Master Tigian is patient.

Up in the Velocity Ship, Tigian was watching the experience.

Tigian: Well this is pretty good. Road Blue has realized that Cybear is his robot, and he can't get himself to destroy the robot, or allow his friends to do it.

Graphite: Do you think he'll be able to take his robot back?

Tigian: No chance. Brakenstein reprogrammed the robot to obey him instead. There's no way Road Blue will be able to take back his precious robot. He will need to realize that it's either destroy or be destroyed. But I hope he chooses be destroyed. Hahahaha.

Kristy, Dale, Benji, Vicky, and Ace arrived back at the base to see Speedstar. (All are demorphed now)

Speedstar: Jack told me what the situation was. I really hate for him to destroy his own robot.

Kristy: Have you told him that destroying the robot is the only way to save the day?

Speedstar: Actually, I think there is a chance to take back the robot.

Dale: What?

Benji: Are you crazy?

Vicky: You're not thinking of using magic, are you?

Speedstar: No, no, no, no, no. Magic won't work in this situation.

Ace: Then, where is Jack right now?

Speedstar: He's right over here.

In the corner, Jack was working on a remote control.

Benji: What does he have there?

Vicky: Maybe if we go over there and ask, we'll find out.

They went over to Jack.

Dale: Hey, Jack. What do you have there?

Jack: It's the remote control for my robot.

Kristy: But we never saw you with a remote control before.

Jack: That's because I was close enough to the robot to give it it's orders before. By the looks of it, I think that Brakenstein has reprogrammed the robot to do it's bidding instead of mine. So if I can't get the signal to be stronger than Brakenstein's commands, I might have a chance at getting my robot back.

Kristy: Well, what if the robot is still against us?

Benji: Will you finally throw in the towel and let us destroy it?

Jack: If it comes to that, then yes.

Vicky: If it makes you feel better, Jack, we're just as worried about destroying this robot as you are.

Ace: Yeah. You worked so hard on it and it has come in handy in doing the chores.

Kristy: If you don't count that broken window during the first day on the job.

Jack: Once we get the robot back, if we get it back, I'll resume working on getting it to clean the windows instead of breaking them. It may take me a couple of days. But first, getting the robot back is the most important thing to me right now.

Up in the Velocity Star Ship, Tigian decided to send Brakenstein a call.

Tigian: Brakenstein, I think that in order for us to have a better chance at destroying the Roadrangers, we'll need to enlarge Cybear.

Brakenstein: But Cybear cannot be enlarged. The velocity bars only work on living beings. He's a machine.

Tigian: No worries, I had Graphite take care of that.

Then, Graphite came in with a spray with some green liquid inside it.

Graphite: Here is the Velocity Spray, Master Tigian. This will make Cybear much larger.

Tigian: Excellent. Thank you, Graphite. Brakenstein, I'm sending you the Velocity Spray to enlarge Cybear.

And then, Tigian threw the blaster down to Earth to Brakenstein.

Brakenstein: (Grabs it) Got it. Thank you, Master Tigian. Now, to enlarge this monster.

Brakenstein then squirted the Velocity Spray at Cybear. Cybear then grew to giant size.

Cybear: Destroy Roadrangers!

Brakenstein: Yes! Find those Roadrangers and crush them!

Over at the base, Jack had just finished his adjustments to his remote control.

Jack: There we go. The remote control has been fixed. Now to take back my robot.

Speedstar: Guys, we've got a major problem!

Benji: What is it, Speedstar?

Speedstar: Look at the screen!

Everyone looked to see Cybear as a giant now. Terrorizing the city.

Vicky: It looks like the Velocity Star Gang managed to make him giant.

Jack: I may still be able to take him back. Let's see.

They hurried out and Jack turned his remote on.

Jack: Alright. Cleaning Robot Bear, return to me.

But Cybear continued to attack the city. Jack tried using the remote, but nothing worked.

Jack: I don't know what's going on. I made the signal stronger.

Kristy: It looks like because the robot is giant now, it makes it completely uncontrollable. I'm sorry, Jack. But we have to destroy him.

Jack: No, I can make the signal even stronger. Just give me some time.

Dale: But if we do nothing, the city will be destroyed.

Jack: You can hold him off until I'm ready. I've got a new idea on how to regain control over him. I'll need to add something to Costrain Tank.

Kristy: Alright then. We better call for our Costrain Locos.

Kristy, Benji, Dale, and Vicky called for their Costrain Locos, and they converted to their Costrain Fighter forms.

Ace: I call for Road Copter.

Road Copter then arrived and Ace got on board it.

Ace: Copter Robo!

Then Road Copter converted into Copter Robo and joined up with the Costrain Locos.

Kristy: Remember guys, we're not going to destroy him, just distract him long enough for Jack to get his new remote ready.

Brakenstein: So, only four Costrain Fighters instead of all five? I can handle that. Cybear, destroy Costrain Fighters.

Cybear: Destroy Costrain Fighers!

And Cybear blasted at the Costrain Fighters.

Roadrangers: Whoa!

Benji: Let's attack!

Then, Shunter Fighter charged for Cybear and started fighting. Cybear felt a few hits. Then Fe Fighter made a hit, followed by Steamer Fighter, then Trolley Fighter.

Cybear: Flame attack! (Fires a flame at the Costrain Locos)

Ace: Copter Blades!

Copter Robo got out the helicopter blades and fanned at the flames, making it go back at Cybear.

Ace: I sure hope that doesn't harm him too much.

Over at the Roadranger's base, Jack was in Costrain Tank's cockpit, doing some adjustments to the controls.

Jack: OK. These adjustments are almost done. That should do it. Cleaner Robot Bear, I'm coming for you.

Then, Costrain Tank headed out. By that point, Cybear then knocked the other Costrain Locos to the ground.

Vicky: Oh man. What will we do, Kristy?

Kristy: I sure hope that Jack gets here soon.

Then, Costrain Tank arrived and converted into Tank Fighter.

Jack: Alright. Now to take back my robot.

Jack then pushed some buttons on the controls. Some waves were released from Tank Fighter's head and toward Cybear.

Jack: Cleaner Robot Bear, return to normal size.

Cybear: Return to normal size!

Then, Cybear shrunk back to normal size.

Brakenstein: What?

Jack: Now, destroy Brakenstein instead!

Cybear: Destroy Brakenstein! (Fires at Brakenstein)

Brakenstein: AAAH! I gotta get out of here! (Disappears)

Benji: Jack did it.

Dale: He regained control over his robot.

Jack: Yes! Welcome back, buddy!

Up in the Velocity Star Ship, Tigian was angry.

Tigian: You lost control over Cybear?

Brakenstein: How was I supposed to know that Road Blue had a remote control? How could I have known?

Tigian: ERGH! I have a headache now. I need to go and rest. Ugh! (Walks off)

Graphite: At least I don't need a remote control. I'm my own robot.

Brakenstein: I know that, Graphite.

Graphite: Maybe we should have made Cybear into his own robot rather than just giving him ordered.

Brakenstein: That might have been a good idea.

Later on, Jack removed all of the gadgets that Brakenstein had added to his robot to make him into Cybear and now his robot was back to it's original look.

Jack: And now, Cybear-I mean Cleaner Robot Bear is back to obeying my commands.

Vicky: It doesn't seem fair that it listens to you and not any of us.

Jack: Actually, I've reprogrammed him to obey anybody except bad guys. So he's not going to turn against us again.

Benji: So any of us will be able to give him orders?

Jack: Sure will. And best of all, no more broken windows. I'll show you. Cleaner Robot Bear, clean the windows.

Cleaner Robot Bear: Clean windows!

Cleaner Robot Bear then walked off, but then a crashing now was heard.

Kristy: Oh dear!

Benji: Is he alright?

Jack: He's fine.

Do you think they're referring to Cleaner Robot Bear? (Shows that Speedstar had crashed into a trash can)

Speedstar: Oh my. I guess I need to pay more attention to where I'm going.

Cleaner Robot Bear was cleaning the windows like it was supposed to.

Dale: At least your robot is finally cleaning the windows.

Speedstar: Jack, I think that having this robot around the base will make things a lot easier now.

Jack: Thank you, Speedstar.

Speedstar: But with this robot doing the chores around here, what will you do when you're not fighting monsters?

Jack: Maybe we could patrol the streets for anyone suspicious.

Kristy: I think that's a good idea.

Speedstar: Alright. Patrolling it is.

So whenever the Roadrangers were not busy fighting monsters, they drove around in their vehicles to see how the city was. Jack must be getting real good at making robots. And it's a good thing that he didn't have to destroy the one he made.

To be continued...
