The Think Tank is a location in the Octan Tower, and a major location in The LEGO Movie.
History[]
It was first seen when the Master Builders were captured by Bad Cop and taken into the Octan Tower. Each Master Builder were placed within ‘think tanks’ which are small boxes used to get information from the Master Builders to create construction books. Later, when Emmet’s plan to reunite the Piece of Resistance with the Kragle, the gang are taken hostage in the Think Tank while Lord Business leaves in the top of the tower to begin TAKOS Tuesday.
Before Lord Business leaves, he straps Emmet to a battery and removes the Piece off his back, only to toss it out the window into the Infinite Abyss of Nothingness (leaving a big hole in the glass). He then sets an electric shocker to 100 Mississippi, and leaves Emmet, his gang, and all 80^8’000 Master Builders and Bad Cop to die. Emmet loses all hope due to what Vitruvius tells him before dying, because he states that the prophecy is made up. However, a ghost form of Vitruvius arrives, having heard what Emmet said and tells him that he is special if he believes it. Just as Ghost Vitruvius begins to float away, the computer alerts everyone that the electric shocker goes off in 35 Mississippi. Emmet notices the window and forces the battery to come loose so he can roll towards it (which causes Lucy to notice). Emmet stares into the swirling abyss below, says goodbye to Lucy and allows himself to tumble into infinity. Just as he begins to enter the IAON, he stretches the cord so far that it snaps, causing the electric shocker to fail, freeing the Master Builders and causing Emmet and the battery to fall into nothingness (or to the floor).
Appearance[]
The Think Tank is a massive room filled with small boxes that Master Builders are trapped inside of like Superman Wonder Woman and Shaquille O'Neal. There is a massive door that leads into a hallway on one side where people who have been taken hostage enter from. In the middle of the room is a massive battery which has two cords connected to it. These two cords connect to electric shockers, and this allows Lord Business to force the Master Builders to give him instructions. There is a huge screen on the wall which is used as a super computer. It is used by Lord Business to set the electric shocker, and it also allows Emmet to view his home town be Kragle-ized. In front of the battery is a huge window which overlooks the abyss. Lord Business kicks the Piece out this window to stop it from being used to stop the Kragle.
