The SpiderMobile is the 12th episode of the fourth season of The Dreamstone (and the 51th of the show overall). It first aired in the UK the 21st of March 1995.
Synopsis[]
As Sgt. Blob is giving a thorough inspection of Viltheed's kitchen, an impatient Urpgor demands he and his minions test his new vehicle for Zordrak. The new superweapon; the Spidermobile, is an arachnid shaped tank that shoots webs at foes. Meanwhile the Noops have been sent to collect clouds for dreams, while The Dream Maker is busy making music.
The Urpneys at this point have started their mission. The Spidermobile proves surprisingly efficient. It overpowers and webs up the entire Wut army, and then slips through the Noop village with ease. Frizz is shot through one of it's cannons into the tower to collect the stone (which Rufus forgot to hide away), with the Dream Maker too preoccupied to hear the commotion. After the Noops arrive back, they discover too late it is gone, and go to help out the neutralized Wutts.
Zordrak is growing impatient waiting for Blob (who is stuck underwater due to an inopportune breakdown) so sends Urpgor to find him, while he releases his Argorribles. The Noops and Pildit attempt to sneak into Viltheed, however by this time, Blob has fixed the Spidermobile with intricate maintenance ("All he did was bash it with a hammer!") and captures them in web. They present their prize to an impressed Zordrak and throw the heroes in a dungeon, however Pildit uses telekinesis with his orb to free them. Zordrak sets about corrupting the stone to evil on The Red Planet of Doom, though on the way, he bumps into Urpgor, who cannot find Blob anywhere. While the heroes manage to take back the stone, Zordrak's chair spirals out of control and falls into his Argorrible pit, to Frizz and Nug's amusement.
Urpgor certainly knows how to make a splash!
Trivia[]
- This episode marks the fourth and final time Zordrak had his evil claws on The Dreamstone (Fifth if you include Spildit).
- This is also a (very rare) case of Urpney's succeeding completely in their plan and being able to stand their ground against basically everything Land of Dreams could send against them.
- Zordrak's throne utilizes it's hover ability created in Megattack.
- Zordrak references his plans to corrupt the Dreamstone's power as mentioned before in A Day Out.
Goofs[]
- Zordrak states he will corrupt the Dreamstone on The Red Planet of Doom. despite claiming he would do so on the Nightmare Planet in "A Day Out".
