Line 6:
* Speaking of the SDF-1, Coop fires the Reflex Cannon from Megas' chest in ''Viva Los Megas''.
* There is a mannequin in episode 11 that looks exactly like one that appears in ''Macross: The Movie''.
* The S-Force are ''[[
** Some of the voices for the S-Force include [[Actor Allusion|Ronnie Schell and Alan Young]] who were the voices for ''Battle Of The Planets''. Also Scott Innes who usually [[The Other Darrin|other Darrins]] and [[Celebrity Impersonator|impersonates]] [[Casey Kasem]]'s roles in animation, voices a and S-Force member that sounds like Casey Kasem.
* And the Ultra Chicks in the episode of the same name are clearly the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' girls, complete with ridiculously long [[Transformation Sequence|Transformation Sequences]]. And [[Ultra Series|an additional special ability]] to boot!
Line 14:
* A planet of sentient robots feature lookalikes of [[Mazinger Z]] and Reideen.
* Mazinger also gets a shout-out when Coop hits the "This Better Then" button - it launches a [[Rocket Punch]] with the twist that twin axe-blades sprout out of the side of the robot's fist after launch. That's [[Mazinger Z]]'s trademark "Iron Cutter" attack.
* In addition to ''[[Star Trek]]'', the series finale is also a giant [[Shout
* In "Universal Remote", when Coop declares he'll just "hit him with something bigger," Megas folds out an arsenal that looks just like a [[Macross Plus|Destroid Monster]], right down the the quad shoulder cannons.
* Shortly afterward, Coop turns the Megas' heater up to "DANG", which causes the robot to link its arms together at the wrists and retract both hands to create a flamethrower - just like [[Combattler V]] used to do.
Line 22:
== [[Transformers]] ==
* Megas' original head unit looked almost exactly like Soundwave's.
* It's seen with the [[Transformers Generation
* The ice planet episode had an army of robots resembling green-colored Shockwaves, while their leader looked like Onslaught, leader of the Combaticon unit.
* The villain Skalgar looks like a miniature Unicron.
Line 47:
== And the rest ==
* The [[Bruce Campbell]]-voiced villain, who's part [[WWE|Vince McMahon]], part [[Marvel]] Comics villain MODOK, and pilots a mech that is a fusion of [[Bubba
* Said villain tells Coop [[Monty Python and The Holy Grail|"Let's not argue about who tried to kill who."]]
* And in Episode 2 he directly quotes ''[[The Professional]]''.
Line 53:
'''Drone:''' Which one?<br />
'''Magnanimous:''' EVEEEERYONE! }}
* In "Ultra Chicks" Jamie was imagined to be like Ming The Merciless from ''[[Flash Gordon (
* Evil Future Coop's army appears to travel through time via [[Stargate SG
* Season 2 episode 3 had Coop flipping through channels on his monitor, and it briefly flashes [[Toy Story|Al's Toy Barn]] [http://i47.tinypic.com/v60vmb.jpg with a man in a chicken suit on the ad.]
* Lets not forget the [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Super Mario Brothers|Mario Brothers]] look-a-like parade floats from the Thanksgiving episode.
Line 61:
* The first season finale features three separate shout-outs to ''[[The Blues Brothers]]'': the [[Facing the Bullets One-Liner]]; and a car chase through the Glorft mothership set to a blues-rock tune, complete with a dispatcher saying the line "Use of unnecessary force in capturing the Earthers has been approved."; and finally "This place has everything..."
* T-Bot is the daringest, the uncaringest, the most belt-wearingest [[Mr. T]] parody in all of fiction! Specifically, to Clubber Lang in ''[[Rocky III]]''.
* In the pilot, Coop disintegrates a shed using a digitizer weapon like Lord Dread's robot soldiers have in ''[[Captain Power and
* One episode is basically an episode of ''[[The Prisoner]]''. But with robots. [[You Are Number Six|Megas is Number 12.]]
* The two part finale "Rearview Mirror, Mirror" is basically the [[Star Trek]] episode "Mirror, Mirror" in terms of title and premise.
* The secondary command bridge is a shout-out to the battle bridge of the Enterprise-D.
* And another classic [[Star Trek]] reference:
{{quote| '''Magnanimous:''' It's about hurting you, [[Star Trek II:
* In addition to the Gatchaman, Voltron, and sentai homages that fly left and right in "Bad Guy", Jax's unintelligible alien speech noises are possibly a nod to Copper Kid from ''[[
* One of the ending gags with the thrash pickup community service was taken from an episode of MTV's ''[[Downtown]]''.
* If you keep an eye out, quite a few people from ''[[Downtown]]'' make an appearance, including the guy who ran the comic shop, and the nerd Wedge. You know, the one who was missing the Laid figure.
Line 77:
* [[Repo Man|"All I ever wanted was a Mega Slush. Just one Mega Slush. But you wouldn't give it to me."]]
* The premise and name of the episode "Terminate Her" both reference Terminator.
* In episode 12 Jamie has an imagine spot where he's Emperor and Coop says the line [[Escape
