Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 10/23/93

Dark Kat enlists the assistance of technology thief and "high-voltage low-life" Hard Drive to destroy both the Swat Kats and their reputation as heroes. After the villains lure the vigilantes into a death trap in Dark Kat's hideout, Hard Drive uses the stolen Turbokat to pose as the Swat Kats and commit various crimes in order to frame them as criminals. Although T-Bone and Razor manage to free themselves, they find themselves pursued by the Enforcers for the crimes committed by Dark Kat and Hard Drive. With Callie's help, they must evade the Enforcers, clear their names, stop Dark Kat, and be back in time to tow a little old lady.moreless

Okay for me this is a good and bad episode. The good parts were the acyion parts and we're introduced to Hard Drive who I think deserved a bigger part than the one he got. Also this episode was pretty funny especially the parts with the old lady and Chance's shortcut, that was hilarious! My biggest complaint was basiaclly making our two heroes almost useless without the Turbokat I mean yeah it's a cool jet and the Swat Kats were syill pretty tough but still the episode showed they were weaker without they're jet. Other than that the episode was good and a must see for fans.moreless

TRIVIA (6)
ADD TRIVIA
- The creeplings looked much smaller then usual, when they got the missile with Hard Drive in it from the prison.
  EDIT SHARE
- Goof: When Hard Drive collected the money in the Turbokat, there was only 5 or 6 bags of money, but when the Swat Kats retrieved it at the end, it was dozens of them.
  EDIT SHARE
- This is Hard Drive's first appearance on the show.
  EDIT SHARE
- There's no way that Hard Drive can still be alive. Not only should he have died when the computer he was "in" was blasted by Razor, but moments later he sustains a direct hit from a bazooka. This is an unusually "toony" moment for the series.
  EDIT SHARE
- When Razor says, "Don't worry, my Glovatrix is specially insulated," he isn't even wearing a Glovatrix.
  EDIT SHARE
- Hard Drive's tail is missing when he's talking to Dark Kat early on in the sewer.

  EDIT SHARE
- (The Swat Kats are performing another test run with the Turbokat)
  T-Bone: This new engine's got enough mega-thrust to keep us airborne all by its lonesome.
  Razor: Yeah. It's amazing what you can find in a salvage yard, huh T-Bone?
  EDIT SHARE
- Hard Drive: (charges at T-Bone) OOOOH!!! I knew I should've fried you when I had the chance.
  T-Bone: Take your best shot. (punches Hard Drive to a nearby computer, and Hard Drive attempts to escape through it)
  Hard Drive: I'm out of here.
  Razor: You said it. (fires a missile at the computer destroying it and flushing Hard Drive out)
  T-Bone: Time for a new suit, Hard Drive. How about prison pin-stripes?
  EDIT SHARE
- Dark Kat: Seems like Megakat City is in a bit of a financial crisis.
  Hard Drive: Yes. Manx would probably have to raise taxes.
  Dark Kat: Well I guess I'll send you off in the Turbokat for another collection.
  (T-Bone and Razor crash through the ceiling)
  T-Bone: Sorry. The Turbokat has been repossessed.
  EDIT SHARE
- T-Bone: Ya might wanna keep this guy (Hard Drive) in that missile, Feral. He gets a kick from zipping through wires.
  Feral: What do you think I am, stupid?
  T-Bone and Razor: (With thumbs up) Bingo!
  EDIT SHARE
- Ann Gora: Attention! This is Ann Gora with a Kat's Eye News flash! The Swat Kats are trashing Megakat City!
  Dark Kat: No, I am!
  EDIT SHARE

  EDIT SHARE
- Feral: Do you know how much havoc you two have caused tonight? You've cut the power to half of Megakat City!
  T-Bone: What's wrong, Feral? Afraid of the dark?
  EDIT SHARE
- T-Bone: Here comes the cavalry, late as usual.
