When Jonny Quest did body horror

John Carpenter's The Thing But It's a Cartoon | Jonny Quest: The Real Adventures

I remember watching Jonny Quest as a kid. I do not remember it being this weird and gruesome. The above clip came from S02E09 of The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, entitled “DNA Doomsday”:

During a simulation to test out a military installation’s defences, a bio-computer is out of control.

A bio-computer? Yep, couldn’t foresee anything going wrong there! According to the video description, “[…] this episode tries really, really hard to emphasize that this thing is not an alien, it’s a… robot, but come on!” It’s just lipstick on a US military pig at this point.
