Episode synopsis
On patrol of the city, Sparx detects a strange force nearby. Chiro is eager to watch his favorite TV show The Sun Riders, so the magnet-fisted monkey insists that he go alone. He hasn't gone far when the other monkeys realize he's disappeared, and they can't contact him in any way. They set out to find him, and after a bumpy ride in the Super Robot, they find themselves stranded in a wasteland of junk, occupied by Lord Scrapperton, a man who has "upgraded" all of his human parts to make himself fully robot. But this guy seems way too happy - creepy happy - and Chiro is suspicious. He keeps the cybernetic collector busy while the monkeys search for their friend. Guest appearance: Eric Idle as Scrapperton
About Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!
Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! is an American/Japanese animated television series, and was created by Ciro Nieli, one of the directors of Teen Titans, with animation being done by a Japanese studio known as The Answer Studio. Set mainly on the fictional planet of Shuggazoom, the series follows the adventures of five cyborg monkeys and a human boy named Chiro as they struggle to protect their planet - and the rest of the universe - from the forces of evil. As is obvious from the visual appearance of the show, there is a significant anime influence present, despite being produced for American television. It was also influenced by Star Trek, Super Sentai, Voltron, and Star Wars. The show also contains various references to pop culture, a notable example being the episode "Season of the Skull", which is a parody of the 1970s thriller The Wicker Man.
