While scavenging for food, as seen in the introduction film, Rube is caught and experimented on.

When Reg gets a winning lottery ticket, he floors it to the lottery office in his 'robomobile', but when he and Rube miss the office by thousands of miles, then their only hope is to get back to Vexburg before the ticket expires, and that's not so easy with a temporarily powerless Roboroach!
Jungle Bugs
From floor scrubbers to field researchers in a snap! Reg thinks that his luck has finally changed when Sterling Uberbucks hires him and Rube to find the legendary 'Dyno-mites', a disco-like tribe of jungle bugs, and film their sacred dance ritual, but Rube and Reg must pass a series of Disco tests first.
Fitness Bug
Rube decides that it's time to whip Reg into shape when he sees that Reg can't even hold the remote anymore, but Reg has no patience for the long way to health, so Rube transforms into a super-workout machine.
