Stuff I Noticed:
*Mrs. Wakeman's first name, Nora, is revealed in this episode.
*This is the second appearance of Vexus.
*Immediately in the beginning, there is a blimp that says Robot Convention on it.
*Some of the signs seen at the beginning of the convention are Robot World, Engineer and Spro. There is a Robo-Snobs Elite Servants for the Elite (during the robot waiter, waitress and teacup sequence). When Mrs. Wakeman is looking for Jenny there is a booth that says Exoskins.
*The robot companions seen are a puppy, a kitty, a bunny, a fish, a bird and there is a space set up for something called an Er.
*Vee says, "It's probably just another false alarm." How did she know that the first one was a false alarm?
My Rating and Review:
Damnit, this episode was really good. Definitely one of the best. I really just don't know what to say, it's so good. I don't think you can count how many times I watched that end Cluster battle. Damn... I absolutely love the show's animation. Who doesn't? The crew is amazing. I could go on and on listing off all the cool things they do with the style and the show, but I'll keep this short. I just thought that this was so incredibly animated and correspondingly well-scripted. I mean, we all have to admit we've been waiting for Jenny to meet some other robots. Look at all the fan characters out there! Oh... crap, I hope CoyoteLoon didn't read that. Ahem, anyway, I just thought the convention idea was a really good concept. Jenny meeting some other robots and then finding out she was the only one like she was and she had to defend all the other robots. And thank you for giving us another Cluster episode! This is what we have been waiting for! Dang... good, good episode. Oh, and it doesn't hurt to have an awesome cast as well. Tradeshow Showdown gets an A+, for lack of a better grade.
