Biography

At the beginning of the episode, Officer Uniqua shows the viewer Pablonator & T-900 on a criminal line-up she drew as she and Sargent Tyrone explain that the both of them patrol the Galaxy, looking for bad bots who break the law, and when they find them, they arrest 'em. Near the start of the episode, they go to the vault that holds the key to the Robot Factory. Before they break into the vault and steal the key to the Robot Factory, they check each other's switches, they proceed to sing about their attributes and qualities as evil robots, and then they break into the vault to steal the key, thanks to T-900's Mechanical Arm that she extended to unscrew it. They break in and steal the key to the Robot Factory when Pablonator malfunctioned and T-900 resetting him by pressing the reset button on his stomach and escape, but they are discovered by space police officers: Uniqua and Tyrone, which starts the chase between the four and later go off course from the Robot Factory before T-900 resets Pablonator. They drive through an Asteroid Belt to escape and their car gets badly wrecked, so they crash land on a small planetoid; the Moon where they suffer over the loss of their ruined Botmobil. The officers land there too and attempt to arrest the evil robots, but they're unsuccessful as they steal the officers' car to take to the Robot Factory. The cops grab on tight to the back for dear life and ride to the factory. Once there, Pablonator & T-900 use the key to get inside, where they are chased by the cops to the main room, where they cuff the cops (Uniqua & Tyrone) to a pole as revenge before revealing their true nature and their evil plan on turning all the robots' switches from "good" to "bad", as Uniqua and Tyrone instead flip Pablonator and T-900's switches from "bad" to "good", setting themselves free and the Universe being saved, for good.

Trivia

• Though all The Backyardigans villains redeem themselves at the end of all episodes, it can be argued that Pablonator and T-900 are the only ones who never did so per se, as they only turned good and abandoned their evil plans as being intergalactic criminals because their archenemies; Uniqua and Tyrone flipped their switches to reset them into being good permanently.
• The names of Pablonator and T-900 are most likely based on the iconic movie series the Terminator, the sequel of which is one of the favorite movies of Janice Burgess, the creator of The Backyardigans.
