Cutting-Edge Appliances

The Cutting-Edge Appliances are an assortment of modern appliances from "The Brave Little Toaster". They live in the apartment of the Master's mother, and served him up until his departure to college.

Aside from Plugsy and the Computer in this group, there is:
 * An Entertainment Computer
 * A Two-Faced Sewing Machine
 * An egg beater
 * A boom box
 * A toaster oven
 * A telephone
 * A food processor
 * A light tree
 * A vacuum cleaner

The Cutting-Edge Appliances are a group of 1980s-era appliances that were considered at the time highly-advanced and at the fore-front of technology. They are highly egotistical as they take great pride in their latest features, which far outrank the abilities of any appliance that preceeded them. As a result, they have a low opinion of any appliance that is not as advanced as they are. They served the Master, Rob, and his mother in the latter's apartment in the city.

When Rob prepares to go to college, he wants to take his old appliances from his childhood with him for use in his dorm. After leaving to his family cabin with his girlfriend Chris, the Appliances are disgusted at Rob's preferences. They would prefer to be serving him in order to impress him with their technological advantages.

Later that day, the old appliances, Toaster, Lampy, Blanky, Radio, and Kirby arrive in search of the Master, and are greeted by Plugsy. Shocked at their presence, the Appliances agree to dispose of the gang in order to force the Master to take them instead. They welcome them into the apartment and are courteous at first, but quickly take advantage of their presence and prepare to make their move. When Plugsy turns off T.V., another old appliance in the house who tries to tell his friends where Rob went, the gang gets supicious and the Appliances surround them. They demonstrate their technological sueriority to the gang as they sing the song "More", and upon finishing, throws the gang into a dumpster out the window. They then await the Master's return.

The gang is taken to Ernie's Disposal and the Master comes home disappointed, having realized that the appliances are not at the apartment. Despite their abscence, Rob still doesn't want to take his mother's appliances with him, still preferring the "oldies but goodies". Plugsy overhears this and is bitterly disappointed. It can be assumed that the other Appliances were equally upset at this discovery. Rob eventually recovers his trusty appliances from Ernie's Disposal thanks to T.V.'s intervention, and the old appliances go to college with Rob as opposed to the Cutting-Edge Appliances.
