The third episode of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, not counting the pilot movie. Team Lightyear discovers that XR's "big brother", XL, has been reactivated by Zurg and is now on the loose, stealing new parts in order to get revenge on Star Command.
Tropes associated with this episode include:
- The Bad Guy Wins: Zurg. While XL may have been caught, there's still a new villain out there wanting to take down Star Command. Subverted inasmuch as XL fails to destroy Star Command.
- Call-Back: In the pilot, Commander Nebula never liked the idea of robots being space rangers. This episode reveals that it's due to XL and how catastrophic the results were when he was activated.
- Crime Spree Montage: The episode starts with XL stealing various robot parts to rebuild himself.
- Impact Silhouette: Commander Nebula leaves one when XL slams him against the wall.
- Running Gag: XR calling Commander Nebula his "dad", much to the latter's annoyance.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: XL intends to prove to Commander Nebula that he's the better ranger.
