Megas XLR
by Jody Schaeffer and George Krstic
In the pilot show (called “Lowbrow” and aired on a Cartoon Network Weekend
Summerfest), two video-game gearheads (Coop and Jamie) find a time-traveling robot in a
junkyard and trick him out with a new engine, some new body work, a 671 Jimmy Huffer, and
an eight-ball gear shift before realizing that they (along with the redhead, Kiva, from
the future) must now protect present-day Earth from the evil aliens who enslaved the
planet in the future and are now tracking the Megas back through time.
After the pilot, the Cartoon Network picked up the show for 26 new episodes.
Listen! We need Megas to avert an alien invasion in the far future. He wasn’t meant to
be a toy for a prehistoric yahoo and his pet monkey thing!
