Descriptive Transcript
[Rock music plays]
DESCRIPTION: In an animation, Bo pushes levers and buttons on a controller in the Swop Shop Headquarters. He wears a green hat over his curly, short brown hair. Mojo, a blue vehicle, swaps from an airplane to a firetruck to a bulldozer with a crane on the back. They then swap to a truck with a wrecking ball and spin in a circle.
[Song] Jet top, fire top, dozer top, dig it up. Crane with a wrecking ball, you know they'll answer any call. Jumper top, monster top, turn it on, swop it up. Mojo and Bo to the Swop Shop, let's go.
DESCRIPTION: The headquarters garage door opens, and Bo drives Mojo to the road.
[Song] Mojo. Swoptop. Swop your top, and let's go. Together we can make it all right.
DESCRIPTION: On the road, Mojo swaps between different types of vehicles.
[Song] Mojo. Swoptop. Swop your top, and let's go. It's you and me; we're outta sight.
DESCRIPTION: Mojo zooms on the water. On the road, they drive with a ramp to a dump bed lowered, and scooter riders slide into the back of the truck. In a forest, Bo stands on a cherry picker and lifts a pig from a tree. Mojo swaps to a helicopter and a monster truck.
[Song] Boat top, dumper top, race it fast, rev it up. Cherry picker, oh-so tall. You know they'll answer any call. Chopper top, monster top, turn it on, rev it up. Mojo and Bo to the rescue. Let's go! Mojo Swoptops. Swop your top, and let's go.

[Beep, whoosh]

MOJO: I'm trying, but whenever I get close to it, I...start to dance.
[Eerie music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Preston takes out a roll of blue paper.
PRESTON: That's right, Mojo! In fact, I have reason to believe that this meteor is none other than a chunk of the legendary Planet Boogie!
[Dramatic music plays]
EVERYONE: Planet Boogie?!
DESCRIPTION: Preston unrolls the blue paper on the ground. On it, a drawing shows robots dancing close to a meteor.
PRESTON: Exactly. This meteor has an interplanetary core that disrupts adjacent machinery.

MOJO: Got it!
[Whirr, Nori exclaims, pebbles rustle, whirr]
DESCRIPTION: The crane picks up the meteor, and pebbles fall. Nori and Nan stand nearby, watching. Mojo swings the crane and holds the meteor over a fountain in the centre of the town square.

BETTY: Ted. I thought you'd never ask!
TED: Ah!
[Whoosh, ice cream splatters]

[Everyone gasps, pen scratches, soft music plays]
DESCRIPTION: The judge writes on the clipboard.
MAYOR SUNITA: Please, you have to believe me! Swoppiton doesn't normally look like this. We're a very tidy town, and we almost never have space rocks come crashing down.
PRESTON: Almost never.
JUDGE: Well, I've never seen anything like it!
[Everyone gasps, dramatic music plays]
JUDGE: I mean, I've never seen a town where everyone worked together like you did. Launching a meteor back into space? That's the kind of town spirit I like to see!
[Whoosh, triumphant music plays]

[Gentle music plays]

[Everyone gasps, pen scratches, soft music plays]
DESCRIPTION: The judge writes on the clipboard.
MAYOR SUNITA: Please, you have to believe me! Swoppiton doesn't normally look like this. We're a very tidy town, and we almost never have space rocks come crashing down.
PRESTON: Almost never.
JUDGE: Well, I've never seen anything like it!
[Everyone gasps, dramatic music plays]
