Get it? GET IT?!

The 11th episode.

Sir and Z-Squared go to the market, but Z' is captured by a man who thinks he is the famous monk, Caligari. He manages to get free and even accidentally kill Cesare. Caligari himself is killed when Sir bursts through the doors, crushing him. The two agree that this was a lame filler episode. At the Headquarters, Godzilla and a few others (Discord, Twilight, and Finn) mess around with Megatron's TV time. It doesn't go well for them.

The rock that Caligari used to hypnotize people, however, is stolen. Most likely because of the Great Evil...


  • Artifact of Doom / Mind-Control Device: The Hypno-Rock.
  • As You Know: The narrator reminds us that Z-Squared managed to break out of his cell because of his super strength. He then wonders if he wasted our time.
  • Ass Shove: Megatron does this with a remote against Discord. It painfully works.
  • Big "NO!": "TRANSFORMERS 5: EXPLOSION OF THE ROBO-TITTIES! COMING SOON!" Megatron simply can't take that.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Dr. Caligari/Jerl Hienes.
  • The Blade Always Lands Pointy End In: Megatron sticks Twilight in the ground horn first, fitting this trope.
  • Breather Episode: This just happened right after Golus was defeated...and before a certain skeletal dragon came into the picture. This is even acknowledged.
  • Bullying a Dragon: What did you think messing with Megatron was gonna be?!
  • Call-Back: As shown by Basil, the team is still a little ticked after that Golus incident.
  • The Dragon: Cesare.
  • Death Glare: Megatron gives his tormentors one.
  • Escape from the Crazy Place: Z-Squared goal during the climax.
  • The End... Or Is It?: Something mysterious (and definitely sinister) steals the leftover stone.
  • Fish out of Temporal Water: Sir, in a rare moment. Specifically, the internet (likely the part that wasn't Ebay). This trope is acknowledged by the members, who mention that he has an HQ that runs on advanced technology.
  • For Want Of A Nail: A simple trip to the Farmers Market got Z-Squared sent to a fake asylum.
  • Killed Mid-Sentence: Dr. Caligari/Jerl Heines is crushed by the door when Sir breaks in. He was ranting on how he thought the police were hacks.
  • Lost the TV Remote: Discord, Godzilla, Twilight, and Finn pull this on Megatron. They steal the remote and fiddle with the channels. They're caught, though...
  • Mad Doctor: Dr. Caligari/Jerl Heines.
  • Police Are Useless: At least, that's what Caligari/Jerl would want us to believe.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Megatron finally snaps when 'Full House' starts playing.
  • Schmuck Bait: Godzilla asks Twilight what 'Kiss Players' is. Smash cut to him screaming and wanting a shower.
  • Show Within a Show: The channels that appear on the TV.
  • Take That!: Micheal Bay's 'Transformers' series and 'Full House' are victims here. Also, 'Kiss Players' (thank your lucky stars you don't know what THAT is).
  • There Was a Door: Sir smashes his way through the entrance. This kills Dr. Caligari.
  • Tranquil Fury: Megatron enters this when he figures out who's playing him.
  • Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Nobody seems to mind a hulking man clad in scary armor at the market. The fortuneteller, though, tells him he's scaring the clients, so this could be a subversion.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Dr. Caligari/Jerl Heines has one when Z-Squared corners him and then disarms him of the rock.
  • Villains Out Shopping: Megatron just wants to enjoy Audrey Hepburn's acting in 'Two for the Road'.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Caligari thinks people have a hidden 'insanity' inside of them that surfaces from age 16 to 24. He thinks detaining people against their will and lobotomize them. Z-Squared calls bullcrap on this.
