Plot Summary[]
On a really hot day in New jersey, Coop is training in the junkyard. To test the spaceflight engines, Coop flies into outer space, and crashes into a prison dumping ship carrying the R.E.G.I.S. The ship is piloted by crab headed aliens Tolbit and Florxin. They panic because R.E.G.I.S was supposed to dumped into a black ho. Tolbit is excited to try Earth refreshments because the heard they are very good.
Coop is driving Megas in a traffic jam. The trio discuss the Mega-Slush, and Kiva reveals that humans ingest "ration packets of electrolytic rehydrating fluid" in her time, Jaime and Coop are not into it when their hear. R.E.G.I.S lands on earth and starts destroying things, and saying very bad guy stuff while dramatic music plays. Coop and Jaime are searching for the change inside Megas seats, Jaime ask Kiva to use Megas to calculate their change to which Kiva angrily and sartastically replies.
Kiva discovers a signal from the crab headed aliens who were piloting the ship. Coop is anticipating his slushie, when R.E.G.I.S. destroys the first Megaslush machine. Coop uses Megas to smash R.E.G.I.S, but R.E.G.I.S regrows itself, and Coop smashes R.E.G.I.S again. Kiva scans R.E.G.I.S. R.E.G.I.S gets back up again, absorbing a nearby playground, by the time our heroes are in Megas, R.E.G.I.S absorbed large constructicon machines, and in the process of smashing him this time, he destroys the Megaslush corp. building. After knocking R.E.G.I.S out again, Coop's quest for a megaslush is ruined again by R.E.G.I.S. And then R.E.G.I.S is now much larger than Megas, but Coop, Kiva, and Jamie escape from R.E.G.I.S's chest, then many R.E.G.I.S units rise up. Coop tries to attack, but Megas' core temp is too high, and it shuts down. Megas starts expelling smoke, when Kiva realizes that R.E.G.I.S is solar power. Coop decides to force Megas to continue running, simply to smoke out the R.E.G.I.S's
The plan succeeds, leaving Jersey city in ruin and covered in ash from Megas thrusters (happens a lot in this show) and Coop finally gets his slushie from the machine, Jaime convinces Kiva to try it but she gets a brain freeze and Jaime laughs. Tolbit and Florxin are seen cleaning the mess left of R.E.G.I.S. and Tolbit is talking about Hot Tea, While Florxin is telling him to hurry up because they only got three months before the sun comes back.
During the credits, a young boy finds a piece of R.E.G.I.S and keeps it as a souvenir, it also shows that R.E.G.I.S.
Trivia/References[]
- When Kiva picks up the transmission warning about R.E.G.I.S, Coop and Jamie are sitting in Megas with her, despite they are actually in the store getting Megaslushes.
- This could be a reference to the Animatrix, where in Operation Dark Storm humanity strikes back against the AIs by cutting them off from the sun.
- Pop TV signboard gets destroyed by R.E.G.I.S.
- The gags of this episode are: Coop failing to get his Mega-Slush, R.E.G.I.S failing to be taken seriously and destroying things.
- The aliens transporting R.E.G.I.S look like those from the Predator franchise while treating their cargo like its a Xenomorph.

Foreshadowing: On June 27th 2011 Dunkin' Donuts launched its "collectable" First Avenger Tri-Cup in correlation with the release of the Captain America movie. The Tri-Cup was excessively large and had three chambers to house separate flavors of their frozen Coolatta beverage much akin to the Tri-Goblet that first appeared in this episode.
