"Knight of the Drones", what happens to Kitt?

[MIKEMAC]

OK, I was 6 years old when I watched it and no were in my knight rider collection on nasty vhs is the season 3 opener and have no memory of this episode. Can someone tell me what happened to kitt I know he gets destroyed to get the new dash board and it was to have kitt keep up with technolgy(Junk Yard Dog is my favorite kitt destroyed episode) and if he had his shell, how did he get desroyed?, or was it removed like in Knight of the Jugernaut. Thanks!

[Fantine]

I believe he took a missle up the tailpipe.

Could be wrong...I've only read the script for that episode, and things change from paper to screen!

[MIKEMAC]

So Kitt blew up??, that sucks. I assume Michael was away from Kitt when it happened like in Junk Yard Dog.

[KARR 2000]

If I remember correctly, KITT ejected Michael right before he got hit.

[MIKEMAC]

Really?, wow so did Kitt blow up totally or was there some pieces left over and Bonnie had to rebuild him from scratch right?, I thought his shell protectes from missles as well?

[Fantine]

What I gathered from the script was that while the Trans-Am was pretty much intact, KITT's systems were *badly* damaged.

[86chvs10]

Ok well kitt was just trying to get away from the drone car and the drone car had a missle lock on kitt's tailpipe and kitt eject michael through the t-top and got blown up then bonnie fixes kitt up with the technology parts and more.

yeh it kinda had a burnt out shell left, and KITT himself (ie the computer inside) and the car's engine etc and all of KITTs "gadgets" were blown to smitherines! (what IS the spelling of that word? lol!)

[MIKEMAC]

Wow that sucks. I know that on scifi is going to play the epsiode on 1/27/05 in the marathon, but does anyone know were I can find the script on that episode if there is still one around?, thanks, if not I'll just watch it and it doesn't look like Kitt got anything new except a new dash and the light pedal.

[Knight of Sweden]

dont look at the script before you see the show, that ruins everything

Regarding how KITT can get destroyed despite his poorly-named Molecular Bonded Shell, it has happened several times. This is a "manual" on how to destroy KITT

--KITT's MBS is impervious to anything but a LASER. To a low-powered laser, the only vulnerable spot is right in the scanner, but to a high-powered laser, anything goes. Also, a medium-powered laser can melt KITT's tires.

--Although nobody knows what will happen when an immovable object meets an indestructible force, we do know that if indestructible KITT is rammed by something bigger that is also shielded by the MBS, KITT can be totally mauled. KITT was thusly beat up by Goliath.

--KITT has a vulnerable entry point into his interior systems by way of his EXHAUST PIPE. If a missile as fired into this small target, KITT's interior systems will be destroyed.

--Although Knight Industries vehicles are resistant to normal water, if one is submerged in ACID WATER or CONTAMINATED WATER (although the MBS is mainly unaffected) the systems that are exposed deteriorate, and the water seeps into the rest of the vehicle, thereby destroying the car.

--If one can get the "recipe" for the alloy that is molecularly-grafted onto the plating of KITT or KARR, one can make a solution that will dissolve the bonding, thereby causing the car to take normal damage, and be vulnerable to pains suffered by ordinary cars.

This "manual" does not take into account possible modifications that Knight Industries technicions may have made to the design specs of Knight vehicles. These methods of destroying a Knight Industries vehicle, if such an occurance would become necessary, may be null and void due to possible but un-confirmed upgrades to the original design.

LoL, probably does take a little of the fun out of it; but I just can't help myself.

That was awesome , yea it makes perfect sense and thanks for explaining it. Especially the whole Exhaust pipe and acid water. I always wondered why in Junk Yard Dog why kitts outbody(tires,ect..) was in tact but inside he got all eaten up. That makes more sense now. Thanks again! Love the "Manual" by the way, hope it didn't take to long to make up.

Here's the clip... I think it's pretty big, like 5MB or so: (it's old)

Holy crap that was awesome!! The best episodes are when Kitt gets destroyed and then he comes back better , thanks for sending that. It makes sense going through the exhaust that he blow up from the inside and I had to watch it 3 times to hear what KItt said but now I got it. "Please Forgive Me Pal". Is there anymore clip after that part?

[Scoth]

It's been ages since I saw this ep, but wasn't KITT still talking to Bonnie when being towed into the semi after recovery? I always sort of counted this one and Goliath as semi-destroyed since KITT himself was still online, just not quite with it. Even the Juggernaut one I'm betting KITT's core memory was intact, even if the functionality was damaged. At least, I've always felt that KITT was more than just the car

Oh, spiffers, thanks for the clip!

I apologize for the bubbly thanks; I teach preschoolers and sometimes the chirky-happy-sappy stuff sticks around.

[KOPP]

Glad you liked the "manual" MikeMac! I could start a website with all the technical information on KITT and KARR that I have accumilated.
Oh, and by the way, that "manual" was classified information that I "borrowed" from Knight Industries back in '86...almost got my butt run over by a pursuing Knight Industries Assistant vehicle!

I am a true KR fan and do not remember seeing this episode. "KITT, KITT, Are you Okay Buddy?"

A man and his "PET" car. Thank God for the fabulous technicians and Knight Industries... Otherwise, KITT would never get repaired.

[Squealer]

I cannot remember already... But what was Michael's response when KITT was destroyed?

[KOPP]

I don't remember, but I do know what I would say if my Knight Industries vehicle was destroyed: "NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO! Do you know how much this cost me?"

[TurbomanKnight]

I believe he took a missle up the tailpipe.

I cant stop laughing everytime i read at. LOL!!!

[Fantine]

I suppose that *does* paint a unique picture, in hindsight. lol
