With Pablonator and T-900 heartbroken with no ship, the Police arrive to arrest them. Seeing their police ship, the robots get an idea and uses their wheels to get into the Police Spaceship. Tyrone and Uniqua hang onto the vehicle's back. The robots reach the factory and land. The robots congratulate themselves while the cops find them. The bad bots use rocket boosters to quickly get to the door. Uniqua gets an idea and uses a magnet to attract the key, but Pablonator extends his arm and gets it back. While activating the door, the robots then rush inside. The cops get in at the last minute and try to hunt the down The robots sing their own version of "Can't Stop the Cops", in which they replace "cops" with "bots." The police officers sing their version once again. When Pablonator and T-900 reach the Robot Room, Officer Uniqua holds up her badge and attempts to cuff them, but the bots activate their springs and move out of the way, and Uniqua unintentionally cuffs Sergeant Tyrone instead. Taking advantage of the mistake, T-900 extends her mechanical arm, grabbing Tyrone's handcuffs and cuffs him to a nearby pole. She declares that all of the galaxy's robots will be turned bad when they flip the switches. She orders Pablonator to begin flipping the switches, but he starts to malfunction again. Tyrone and Uniqua notice the good and bad switch on Pablonator's back, and Uniqua gets an idea to flip the switch. She can't reach it because of Pablonator going haywire non-stop, so she pulls out her magnet, pulls Pablonator towards her, and flips his switch. Pablonator turns good and starts singing "I Feel Good". Still cuffed to the pole, the cops smile at him and join in the song, much to T-900's horror. During the song, T-900 makes several attempts to turn Pablonator's switch bad again, but doesn't succeed. T-900 gives up and decides to reprogram all the robots herself. Pablonator then uncuffs Sergeant Tyrone and Officer Uniqua and they thank him while they plan to handcuff T-900. She attempts to escape, but she malfunctions as well. Tyrone demands Uniqua to cuff her, but she says that she has a better idea. She turns T-900 good as she flips her switch, who then sings her own version of "I Feel Good" with Pablonator. Uniqua's stomach rumbles. She invites the cast over for toast and jam at her house. The rest accept Uniqua's offer as the factory transforms back into the backyard. The children sing the end song and enter Uniqua's pink house. Uniqua and Tyrone open the previously closed door and shout "Can't stop the cops!" Roles
