Drama Machine

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

Total Drama Action
The Drama Machine is first seen throughout Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special in Total Drama Action. During the episode, Josh and Blaineley, co-hosts of the popular TV show, Celebrity Manhunt, continuously ask the Drama Machine for an opinion on certain events of the show. However, it is still being rebuilt by an old janitor, who states that the machine is still busted. At the end of the episode, when the Drama Machine is supposedly fixed, Blaineley asks it what it thinks of the new season of Total Drama. It, at first, gives it a high drama rating, then explodes, burning the janitor partially, and making 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, is shocked at the sight.

Total Drama World Tour
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, and with a different head. When Blaineley reveals that Chris sent the Drama Machine to look for Duncan after he went missing, a clip is shown of the Drama Machine 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, he is left horribly disfigured and mangled. He is then seen being placed in the body of the Drama Machine which he uses to communicate and move. When he finds out that the million dollars is gone, he flails the arms of the machine wildly, screaming in agony.
