Drama Machine

The Drama Machine is an old, rusty robot built and owned by the television program Celebrity Manhunt, which appears during the final episode of Total Drama Action. In Total Drama World Tour, a new Drama Machine is introduced, apparently owned by Chris McLean, which is significantly larger than the first one and has a different, newer look to it.

Total Drama Action
The Drama Machine is first seen as a feature of the gossip network, Celebrity Manhunt in Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special. During the episode, Josh and Blaineley, the co-hosts of Celebrity Manhunt, continuously ask the Drama Machine for an opinion on certain events relating to the show or its contestants. However, it's still being rebuilt by an old janitor, who states that the machine is still "busted." At the end of the episode, once the Drama Machine is supposedly fixed, Blaineley asks it what it thinks of the new season of Total Drama. At first the machine gives it a high drama rating, but then explodes, burning the janitor partially, which makes Josh and Blaineley laugh. After Josh signs off the show, the screen cuts to a "Technical Difficulties - Please Stand By" image, which is a black-and-white shot of the Drama Machine strangling Blaineley with one of its claws while Josh, who is off to the side, looks shocked by the machine's actions.

In Aftermath: Bridgette Over Troubled Water, it is revealed that Chris has his own Drama Machine, which is drastically different and larger than the first one, even having a different head. Blaineley reveals that Chris sent it to look for Duncan after he went missing and then shows a clip of the robot walking through the streets of a quiet, peaceful town in the dead of night, repeating Duncan's name in a robotic voice. It then looks through the window of a nearby house and frightens a sleeping girl and her pet cat, after smashing its claw through the wall of the house.

The original Drama Machine is seen once again after the credits at the end of Hawaiian Punch after Alejandro is trampled by the entire cast and then covered in lava to the point where he is left horribly disfigured and mangled. He is then seen being placed in the body of the Drama Machine. When he finds out that the million dollars is destroyed, he flails the arms of the machine wildly, dramatically screaming "no," causing Chris to call him a "spaz."
