00:04In the near future, Doc Terror and his cyborg companion Hacker unleash their forces to conquer Earth.
00:12Only one force can stop this evil, a handful of brave men.
00:16In specially created exo-frames, they can be transported anywhere
00:21to fuse with incredible assault weapon systems,
00:25beamed down from the space station Sky Vault,
00:28Becoming man and machine power extreme
00:32Max Ray, brilliant sea operations commander
00:40Jake Rockwell, rugged land operations specialist
00:46Ace McLeod, daring air operations expert
00:54Whatever the challenge, they are ready
00:57The Centurion
01:12There she is, Oceana Research Station
01:30What the heck's that?
02:01What a spot for a vacation
02:06Except we're here to work
02:10Hey, where's anyone?
02:12Right here
02:16Sweetheart, fate must have sent you
02:18The Admiral did
02:20I'm his assistant, Lieutenant Susan Smith
02:23Hi, I'm Max Ray
02:25This is Jake Rockwell
02:27And...
02:29You have to be Ace McLeod
02:31Your reputation has preceded you
02:35Whatever you've heard is all true
02:38So I see
02:40Fasten your seatbelt, Ace
02:44Doc Terra's plan worked perfectly
02:50No one suspected we were inside the crates
03:04Admiral, meet the Centurions
03:07Gentlemen, just in time for our demonstration
03:12Lieutenant, will you do the honors?
03:20Imagine a real building on fire
03:27It's a cryonics freeze ray
03:32I've never seen a triogenics ray that powerful
03:35It can turn the Empire State Building into a frozen ice cycle
03:39Well, I'll bet my grandma's rocking chair
03:42Doc Terra would love to play with that gadget
03:44Which is why you're here to transport it
03:46Right into Doc Terra's hands
03:49Hacker!
03:50The doctor couldn't come in person
03:52So he sent his goon squad
03:54Including his head goon
04:03Susan, use your laser
04:05Certainly, Ace
04:07Like that?
04:16Amber, Doc Terra's daughter
04:18The dome's collapsing
04:20Grab the ray and let's split
04:35It's time we had a little help from our friends
04:38Calling Sky Vault
04:40Crystal, priority alert
04:43We need
04:44I know what you need
04:46Trust me
04:47Assemble Wild Weasel assault weapon system
04:50Computer, beam Wild Weasel to Jake
05:00Power extinguisher
05:12I'll get the Admiral
05:18Sky Knight Air and Cruiser C weapon systems
05:22Beaming
05:23Power extreme
05:29How about getting us
05:31Get us out of here
05:32Let's fly
05:54That's their escape route
05:59I'll go after Amber
06:01Power attacker
06:01You stop the traumatizers
06:03Before someone gets hurt
06:06Why am I always stuck on clean up?
06:24Fire
06:36They're playing the old divide and conquer game
06:39With four jokes in the deck
06:47Fire
06:48Hydro missile
07:02The brunette and the monster got away
07:05With the cryogenic ray
07:17You did well
07:18The cryogenic ray is exactly what I needed to put out the fire
07:22What fire, father?
07:25The one I am about to start
07:29Right now
07:34The plasma warhead will create a firestorm beyond belief
07:40Emergency
07:40Doom drone stripers
07:42I'm tracking them, computer
07:44But where are they going?
07:47I calculate their target is
07:49The Van Allen radiation belt
07:51The radioactive ring of dust and gas that circles Earth
07:57Good grief
07:58Dark terror is going to ignite the particles
08:02If he succeeds
08:03He'll create a firestorm in the heavens
08:05That will raise Earth's temperature to a catastrophic level
08:08Destroying all life on the planet
08:18The centurions will continue after these messages
08:34Don't sweat it, guys
08:35We'll find out what dark terror is up to soon enough
08:40Like maybe now
08:45Can't get to the controls
08:49Hang on
08:50We're going to hit
09:00Max calling Skybolt
09:02Send tidal blast
09:04The Van Allen belt is on fire
09:07Causing magnetic storms
09:09May not be able to beam
09:11Try
09:12Assembling
09:18Cross your fingers, Lucy
09:19Computer
09:20Beam tidal blast
09:25Tower extreme
09:29Hold it
09:30Our taxi's here
09:38Next stop
09:39Centurion headquarters
09:41New York City
09:44Citizens of the world
09:46This is dark terror
09:48With an ultimatum
09:49Your world is in deadly peril
09:52And I alone have the power to save you
09:55Submit it to me
09:57Or suffer the consequences
09:58You have exactly 12 hours
10:01To deliver a document
10:03Of unconditional surrender
10:06To me
10:08Mr. Nasty isn't kidding, is he?
10:11In 12 hours
10:12The temperature will reach 170 degrees
10:14All plant and animal life on earth
10:16Will cease to exist
10:17Seems like that fella's got us between a rock and a hard place
10:25I'm afraid you're right, Jake
10:27The world council has voted to submit to dark terror's demands
10:31Giving in to terrorism
10:33Giving in to terrorism is no solution, Mr. President
10:34We have no alternative
10:37I must deliver the surrender document to dark terror in one hour
10:56He is alone as you demanded
10:59So it would see
11:13Welcome to my world, Mr. President
11:26As I requested
11:31Doctora, we're being swallowed
11:37A centurion
11:39So this was a trick
11:41Earth will pay dearly for this treachery
11:46There will be no mercy
11:48When the temperature gets unbearable
11:50Your civilization will fall into anarchy and chaos
11:54Then nothing will stop me from enslaving mankind
12:02Another centurion
12:04Obviously there's a tracking beacon in here
12:08Obviously
12:09Take this
12:11It will help them find your grave
12:20Max
12:20There's no way I can reach him in time
12:28The centurions will continue after these messages
12:34We now return to
12:36The centurions
12:41Something's gone wrong
12:43I hope Max has sense enough to stay close to the tracking beacon
13:13We'll never find Doc Terror
13:16There might be a way
13:19Crystal
13:19Did you run the calculations I requested through the computer?
13:22Your hunch was right, Max
13:25Doc Terror stole the cryogenic ray
13:27So he could put out the fire in the Van Allen belt
13:29After Earth surrendered
13:30And the computers pinpointed the one place
13:34Where the ray would have to be activated
13:35The mountains of Tibet
13:44That's our destination
13:45Doc Terror has to be in there
13:47And we have to stop it
13:52Looks quiet
13:54So does a bear trap
13:56Before it sprung
14:07Welcome to Tibet, centurions
14:10If this is going to be formal
14:12I'll change into something appropriate
14:14Ace calling Crystal
14:23Sorry
14:24I'd rather you didn't call home
14:29Watch that first step
14:32I don't like it, Lucy
14:34The guys aren't responding to my signals
14:45150 degrees
14:47I didn't think it could get so hot
14:50It's going to get much hotter
14:57Storms are getting worse
14:58We've got less than an hour
14:59If we can get to the Doc's communication room
15:02We can contact Crystal
15:04I don't need Crystal
15:06When we get out of here
15:07I'm going to tear that bunch apart
15:09With my bare hands
15:11And I think Mother Nature's
15:13Just given us the way out
15:18What are you doing?
15:19It'll take a powerful jolt
15:22To knock that steel door
15:23Up its hinges
15:25Like a bolt of lightning
15:30The metal wire
15:31Will be our lightning rod
15:43Let's blow this place
15:46We gotta stop the fire soon
15:48When the temperature has risen
15:51To the point that civilization collapses
15:53Then I shall act
16:01Cool it, lady
16:02Not a sound
16:08Centurions calling Skybolt
16:13Must I continually remind you
16:16That long-distance calls are forbidden
16:18This is where it hits the fan
16:21Crudely put, but apt
16:31Destroy them
16:36I hope I got enough of Max's transmission
16:39To set the coordinates
16:40Power extreme
16:58That's not a good night
17:07Where there's one scraper
17:08You can expect a crowd
17:16You bought it, Dumb Dome
17:20Max, Doctor is getting away
17:25It's stuck
17:30That's the least of our problems at the moment
17:37We can't leave without the cryogenic ray
17:40Too late
17:47But the firestorm in the Van Aron Belt
17:49Will burn itself out at 180 degrees
17:52No one can survive that temperature
17:55The world may end
17:57But I will survive
18:01This tunnel will take us to my secret Arctic base
18:04Where we'll be safe
18:07One more thing to do
18:09Make certain no one can follow us
18:13In two minutes
18:15The mountain will self-destruct
18:42Think for the ride
18:43But this is where I get off
18:53Plasma repulsors
18:54Back!
19:00Deplace
19:01That's the wrong way
19:03We can't leave without what we came for
19:09Quick, grab on
19:10I'll have to open the window a bit wider
19:21Need more speed
19:28Time's running out
19:30We have the cryogenic ray
19:32But we need an incredible source of power to make it work
19:38Leave it to the old Sky King
19:42Ace the Skybolt
19:44I need Orbital Interceptor
19:49Switching from Sky Knight to Orbital Interceptor
19:52Now
19:56Power X
19:57Freeze!
19:58Freeze!
19:59Freeze!
19:59Freeze!
20:00Freeze!
20:00Freeze!
20:07Freeze!
20:08The energy from the radioactive fire should be sufficient
20:11I hope
20:12It's now or never
20:14...
20:19...
20:19...
20:20...
20:20...
20:21...
20:22...
20:23Lucy, I think he's done it.
20:30Blue sky never looks so good.
20:34In celebration of Doc Terra's defeat.
20:38Chilly, just like my pappy used to make.
20:40You ain't tasted nothing hotter.
20:42Uh, it really looks swell.
20:46But I'll settle for a glass of water.
20:49Cold water.
20:55How about you, Shadow?
21:02The Centurions will continue after these messages.
21:26It's been surprising to support you from the distant end of the year.
21:27So towards the end of the year.
21:36You have heard of a telling,
