Synopsis
After investigating a rash of robo-homocides, Team Lightyear discover that NOS-4-A2's loose on TradeWorld with a self-appointed "slayer" on his floating tail- Savy SL-2, a human orphan that was adopted by a robot couple. NOS-4-A2 had "vamped" her adoptive parents, so she decided to step in as a vigilante vampire-robot-slayer (...a la Buffy...). With her assistance, they hunt down NOS-4-A2, fight his horde of enslaved robots, and defeat him, freeing those robots that were in the grip of his dark forces (...including XR who, as usual, was an easy mark for NOS-4-A2...).

Production notes
The overall episode is an obvious homage to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", but contains some nods to "Dracula" and "'Salem's Lot". Unlike previous episodes, Nos 4 A2 is shown here in a more satirical light.
Reviews
The Slayer
I think, villains are the most eccential and important characters. Take NOS-4-A2: He´s dangerous, he´s mean, charming and cute!!! - Well, ... to me! He´s a so much greater thread to Starcommand than Zurg is!!! ... To bad, he always gets impaled... *crying*
