Operation: Wingman” is the eleventh episode of season one of Generator Rex and the eleventh of the overall series. It debuted on September 24, 2010.

Overview[]

Noah drags Rex on a double date, leading to a Junior Prom. The problem: the cute girl Noah hooked him up with is a total klutz, who has a reputation of sending her old dates to the hospital…

Plot[]

Rabbit

Rex encounters the rabbit EVO

Rex is dubious to accept that a simple rabbit is causing trouble for the Providence Agents. The rabbit turns out to be a ferocious EVO, but without realizing it, Rex insults it. Further instances follow, where the rabbit starts stalking Rex, which always end with him having injuries. Things become complicated, when Noah convinces Rex to be his wingman for prom night. Apparently, Noah successfully asked out a girl named Claire to the prom, but to score points with her, he set Rex up with her dateless best friend, Annie.

Rex later questions why Annie does not have a date because she turns out to be rather cute. The answer becomes clear when Annie accidentally locks him in the limo and sends it careening off the side of a cliff. Rex breaks free and flies back to a nearby cliff, but before he could step any further, Annie loses her balance and knocks Rex off the cliff. Noah explains that Annie was dateless because every guy who dated her has ended up in a hospital or worse, because of her clumsy actions.

The reason Noah set Rex up on the date is because he is the only one who could possibly survive the night with her. Noah feels Rex will leave, so he puts a doubt in Rex's abilities by saying how he hasn't been able to capture the bunny yet. This makes Rex stick with the date. Bobo arrives in with a tank to replace the destroyed limousine. Both girls agree that the tank is better than the limo anyway. After Annie nearly injures Rex four times, the rabbit EVO finally catches up with Rex. Both engage in an intense fight, the end result being demolishing a building for construction. Rex escapes while the bunny is trapped underneath a massive pile of steel beams.

Annie accidentally lets out a rocket after Rex, who catches it, As Rex relaxes knowing it didn't blow, Annie throws a spot spray, which convineiently hits the button, which creates a huge explosion. The bunny EVO is actually alive, and chases the tank throughout town.

111-Annie missile launcher

Annie fights along by using the missile launcher.

Shockingly, Annie's clumsiness is put to good use when Rex uses a heat seeker missile she accidentally shot at him to obliterate the rabbit. Unfortunately, when they finally make it to the school, prom night is over. At first Noah thinks it is a complete disaster, but both Annie and Claire disagree and express that it was the best night of their lives, while Rex states that he is never going on a date with Annie again but admits she is rather cute.

Series continuity[]

  • Rex vaguely references the events from when he and Noah were locked in the Petting zoo, in the episode “Lockdown”, by saying “…it wouldn't be the first time” when both were talking about Noah lying and withholding secrets.
  • Valley Market is seen again, the first time was in “Lockdown”.

Errors[]

  • Rex is spinning in a different direction in between a cut, when the bunny hits him.
  • The Smack Hands are missing their drives for one frame.
  • The layer for the explosion is present in the foreground.
  • The front disc of the Rex ride is colored grey and is shaped like a frustum of a cone.
  • The Slam Canon's terminal part is colored orange instead of grey when it hits the ground to load.
  • When the group is at the Snack Shack deciding whether to go home or not, Claire's hair is colored blonde in that shot.
  • The Smack hands don't have shadows when Rex is blocking the bunny EVO at Snack Shack.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first filler episode in the series as it has no connection, elaboration, or development with nanites, Rex, or other main characters.
  • This episode contains several subtle nods to the classic film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, particularly the scene with the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog; in both cases the rabbit seems harmless at first but sneaks up on the protagonists and proves otherwise.
    • The protagonists of the movie later blow up the rabbit using “The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch”; Rex defeated his killer rabbit using the modern equivalent to the holy hand grenade, a heat seeker.
  • Despite stating that he would never go on another date with Annie, Rex indeed goes on another date with Annie, where they are again harassed by an EVO.[1]
  • In “Robo Bobo”, Rex would again be harassed by a giant killer rabbit, in addition to its EVO offspring.
  • This is the second time that Rex has stolen one of Six's suits to go to a formal occasion, the first time being him going to a political get-together thrown by Van Kleiss.[2]
