Episode 30: Attack of Big MACC
Written by: Francis Moss

Voice Cast:
James Avery: Shredder, First Tank Operator
Cam Clarke: Leonardo, Rocksteady
Townsend Coleman: Michaelangelo, Hotel Owner
Pat Fraley: Krang, Burne Thompson, Library Security Guard
Barry Gordon: Donatello, Bebop
Renae Jacobs: April O’Neil
Rob Paulsen: Raphael
Peter Renaday: Splinter, Vernon Fenwick, MACC

Mistakes:
1. When the Turtles greet MACC, Raphael's sais are visible on the back of his belt instead of the front.
2. Right before Michelangelo says "Peace dude" with MACC, Leonardo speaks with Donatello's voice.
3. This episode uses Season 2's closing credits instead of Season 3's.

Catchphrase Countdown:
1. April says "put me down you big lug".
2. Shredder says to MACC "Destroy the turtles!"
3. Shredder says "blasted turtles" after MACC gets free of Krang's control.
4. MACC says "no problemo dude" to Michelangelo a moment later.

Pizza Reference:
The Turtles are eating one pizza at the end of the episode, however a second pizza was overcooked and appears chocolate brown.

Pop Culture References:
1. MACC appears to based off of S.A.I.N.T. Robots (Strateigic Artificially Intelligent Nuclear Transport) from the 1986 movie Short Circuit. MACC calls a TV Camera Number 5, after the main robot from the film.
2. In the hotel, Shredder states that he paid using his Alien Express card, and that he'd never leave the Technodrome without it, based off of American Express' "Don't leave home with out it" advertising campaign of the 1980s.
3. Bebop asks Rocksteady as they retreat in the transport module if he likes the popular Waltz and Foxtrot dances better.
4. MACC frequently speaks by using quotes from Western movies, such as "bushwackers", "comanche", "galoops", and "howdy partner".
5. Michelangelo is watching Tom and Jerry in the lair until MACC's circuits destroys the TV monitor.

Fourth Wall Breaking Humor:
As the turtles are tied up in chains, Raphael describes the scene as a cartoonists' nightmare.

Wacky Inventions:
1. The Super Laser from the army labratory
2. Krang's two mind-controlling docilators

Kidnapping:
The Turtles are tied up with chain ropes after the enter the Technodrome to try and save MACC.

Notables:
1. On the Family Home Entertainment VHS release and on some video promos, this episode is titled "Attack of the Big Macc". The VHS release also edits the fadeout between the second commercial break and the line by Donatello "He's going to fire!", to the point that it seemed like nothing happened.
2. Ace Duck, a character in which the Turtles watch on the television at the start of the episode, was made into a Playmates Action Figure is shown.
