In the third episode of Megas XLR's first season, titled "All I Wanted Was a Slushie," Coop and Jamie find themselves in a sticky situation when they accidentally stumble into a high-tech mall security system. The mall's robotic security guards mistake the duo for thieves and begin chasing them through the mall.
Desperate to escape the rampaging robots, Coop and Jamie duck into a nearby arcade, where they discover a slushie machine. But just as they're about to enjoy their frozen treats, a giant robotic hand crashes through the wall and snatches the slushie machine.
Determined to get their slushies back, Coop and Jamie hop into Megas and give chase. They soon find themselves in the middle of a high-speed pursuit with the robotic hand, which has attached itself to a massive tank-like vehicle. With the help of Megas' powerful weapons systems, Coop and Jamie manage to take down the tank and recover their slushies.
But their victory is short-lived, as the mall's security system tracks them down once again. This time, the robots have a surprise in store for Coop and Jamie: they've built a giant robot of their own, modeled after Megas. With a few modifications, the security system's Megas knockoff proves to be a formidable opponent for Coop and Jamie.
In the end, Coop manages to outsmart the security system's robots by using their own weapons against them. With the security system defeated, Coop and Jamie make one last stop at the slushie machine – only to discover that the slushies have melted in the heat of battle. Undeterred, they set off in search of their next adventure.
