Synopsis

Due to a hurricane, some people accidentally hit Sealab with a big anchor-thing. This causes a leak inside the Sealab, which leads to danger and alarms going off. Sparks watches the news where they talk about a monkey having its brain put into a robot body. Oh, and he mentions how Sealab is starting to spontaneously implode. Sparks, intrigued by the thought of a human brain in a robot body, asks Murphy how cool that would be, when Murphy replies how he'd love to have his brain put in the body of a robot woman. Marco, Debbie and Stormy join in the chat of putting their brains in a robot body. And, because Sealab is imploding, Murphy makes Marco go get Quinn to fix everything. While Quinn is trying to save everyone (inadvertently letting Pod 6 and 7 implode), the rest of the Sealab crew continue their robot discussion. So, at the end of the day, Quinn finally fixes everything. When he goes down to the mess hall to get him some props, the crew is still talking about putting their brains in a robot body. Quinn, angry, opens his chest to reveal his cyborg body, and gives a touching speech on the human/robot issue. Then Sealab explodes.

Production notes

Somewhat similar to Space Ghost Coast to Coast in that a 1960's cartoon show (in this case, Hanna-Barbera's Sealab 2020) is re-edited with new scripts for comic effect.
