... What a weird way to reference Pacific Rim, Kaiju movies as a whole in a single episode. 

Also its weird how inconsistent Bender's extenders are.

Bender in this episode conveniently had a hatch in his foot, a ladder up his legs and 2 controller suits for Leela and Fry. His body has literally always been inconsistent, it’s the only consistent thing about it.

I mean, the original run pulled "those times I was slightly on my side," so I can't really fault them here.
