L-Unit | |
---|---|
Owner(s) | Planet Express |
Usage | Allows ships to achieve space travel |
First appearance | "Bendless Love" (3ACV06) |
The L-Unit is one of the most critical parts of any space-faring vessel. It's made of 340 lbs (154.22 kg) of steel, is shaped like an "L", and without it space travel is little more than a fantasy. The L-Unit in the Planet Express ship was functional until it was bent straight, causing the ship to crash into the New New York streets (3ACV06). Leela believed it was sabotage until security footage revealed that Bender was sleep-bending, causing him to straighten/bend many things in the Planet Express building without him being aware.
Additional info
Trivia
- Leela described the L-Unit's material as "Tonka tough steel". Tonka is a division of the Hasbro toy company which sells trucks and construction equipment billed as "Tonka Tough".
