[edit] Plot

The 300-story Megakat Tower office building is about to open for business, but its first tenant is a most unwelcome one: Dr. Viper, who seizes the structure with his army of monstrous, acid-spitting "plantimals." He places a huge "spore pod" on top of the penthouse; when it explodes, it will cover Megakat City with spores, turning the metropolis into the "Megaswamp City" of Viper's fantasies. Obviously, the SWAT Kats can't allow this. While T-Bone runs interference in the Turbokat, Razor sneaks into the building and tries to stop Viper with the help of Callie Briggs, who happened to be in the tower when it was taken over by Viper. Commander Feral and the Enforcers try to enter the building but are constantly stopped by a huge plant-beast defending the entrance to the building.

[edit] Missiles/Gadgets

The following missiles and gadgets appear in this episode:

  • Buzz-Saw Launcher
  • Electro-Grenades

[edit] Production Notes

  • In the original draft by Lance Falk, a different villain named Leiter Greenbox was supposed to create the "plantimals" which would go crazy and cause an accident that turns Greenbox into a half-kat/half-plant creature. Instead of doing this, producer Davis Doi suggested they bring back Dr. Viper because of the similarities between the two villains. [1]
  • This episode is the first appearance of Mayor Manx's associate, Mr. Young.
