REX-1 2
A TMNT RARE GEM !
Source : TMNT S02E08- 1988 - "New York's Shiniest".
REX-1 is a character who appears in two episodes of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 animated series). He is a robot policeman and his name is an acronym for "Robot Enforcement Experiment," the "1" designating his status as the first model produced. His first appearance is in the second season episode, "New York's Shiniest". His only other appearance is in "Leonardo, the Renaissance Turtle".
Created as an experiment to relieve some of the burdens on New York City's human police department. Designed to be unwaveringly loyal to the operator of his remote control. His designs were stolen by Shredder so he could mass-produce an army of robot cops under his own command.
At a warehouse April finds a robotic police officer and named REX-1. She unknowingly activates REX-1, who assumes she is his superior officer. When two security guards discover April's presence, April tries to bluff her way out but the security guards tell her to save her story for the police. REX-1 (Robot Enforcement Experiment) is programmed to protect his "master", who then states that the police have arrived and grabs the security guards, whom he believes is threatening April.
April appreciates REX-1 saving her, but realizes she will be stuck with him at least until she can get her story as he follows her home. REX-1 also proves to be an adept chef, cooking dinner for April, claiming he was programmed to serve his master in all capacities. Irma arrives and is taken with REX-1. Immediately afterwards April is confronted by the security guards from the lab, who also tracked her. Rex-1 draws his laser and shoots the door. Before the smoke has cleared the two guards run. Irma is impressed with how REX-1 defended April and wished she had someone protecting her like that.
As the episode progresses, April brings Rex-1 to the turtles' lair where once again, Donatello's favorite Bo is broken. A fight is about to break out between the Mechanical Officer and the Turtles when April breaks it up and explains the situation, to which the Turtle josh April that when REX-1 followed her home maybe he has a crush on her. April convinces the turtles to scale the Channel 6 News building and kidnap Vernon so he can tape April's news report. The Turtles abduct Vernon by blindfolding him and convincing him he will not be harmed by leading him to their lair to work the technical equipment. During her report, Shredder hacks into the database of police headquarters, steals the plans for the REX-1 and puts into motion his plans for creating an army of robotic police officers to destroy the turtles.
With some help from April and the Ninja Turtles, REX-1 was able to fool the army of evil robots and save the city.
At the very end of the episode, back at April's apartment, it is revealed that Irma is going on a date with REX-1, who now has a more human outlook by saying his mission is to "serve, protect, and take Irma to the movies".
*Note* This character was never produced as a TMNT toy.
A rare robo gem !!
