00:01In the near future, Doc Terror and his cyborg companion Hacker
00:05unleash their forces to conquer Earth.
00:08Only one force can stop this evil, a handful of brave men.
00:13In specially created exo-frames, they can be transported anywhere
00:18to fuse with incredible assault weapon systems,
00:22beamed down from the space station Sky Vault,
00:24becoming man and machine, power extreme.
00:30Max Ray, brilliant sea operations commander.
00:37Jake Rockwell, rugged land operations specialist.
00:43Ace McLeod, daring air operations expert.
00:51Whatever the challenge, they are ready.
00:54The Centurions!
01:19Wow, Doc. That Doomstar device is some weapon.
01:24Even if that was a simulation.
01:26A masterpiece of late 20th century technology.
01:30Lost when the space shuttle returning it to Earth,
01:33crashed somewhere in the Pacific.
01:35You mean no one ever found it?
01:38Not until now.
01:42There it is, Hacker. Moku Island.
01:45Where I discovered the space shuttle crash.
01:48Gee, Doc. It sure is pretty.
01:52Aesthetic judgments are not your department, fool.
01:56It doesn't matter if Moku is a paradise or a desert.
01:59All we want from it is the Doomstar device.
02:10I don't get it, Doc.
02:12How come we gotta search for this dumb star on foot?
02:16Why can't you just use the sensors?
02:23The volcanic soil is rich in mineral deposits
02:26which would throw the instruments off.
02:28Our only hope is to convince the natives to show us where it is.
02:34I don't think that's gonna be easy, Doc.
02:38Stop!
02:41Captain Steel, you have returned.
02:45Thank the gods.
02:47What's he talking about, Doc?
02:50Quiet, fool.
02:52Play along.
02:57Long have we awaited your return, Captain Steel.
03:16You know, there's a lot of buildings taller than this one around now,
03:21but the old Empire State will always be at the top of the world in my book.
03:25If it was good enough for King Kong, it's good enough for me.
03:28King Kong was his role model.
03:33I'd love to show you the town tonight.
03:36Sky Vault calling Centurions Air and Sea.
03:40Oh, no. Not now.
03:43Jake Rockwell here, Crystal, with Ace McCloud.
03:46Priority Blue. Stand by for Beam Link.
03:48Hey, who are you guys?
03:53We're Centurions, pretty lady.
03:57Much as I hate to admit sometimes.
04:01Let me tell you what I think of your timing, Crystal.
04:05Not now, Ace.
04:08Moku Island, a remote Polynesian habitat.
04:11One of the few places on Earth still virtually untouched by modern civilization.
04:16Sounds like a nice place for a vacation.
04:19You still think so, Jake?
04:21Doctor's Earthship.
04:23What's old Ironsides up to this time?
04:27That's what you'll be checking out, Ace.
04:29Whatever Taylor's plan is, we want to nip it in the bud, okay?
04:33You want me to leave a New York winter to go to a beautiful South Sea paradise?
04:39Well, it's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it.
04:53Hmm, thanks for the eats, King of the Eats.
04:59No, you speak English real good.
05:03You taught me well, Captain Steel.
05:06I never doubted you would return.
05:09I was but a boy, but I remember when you and your servants flew from the sky in your great
05:15metal bird.
05:17This metal bird? Was it called a space shuttle?
05:21As a servant of Captain Steel, you should know it was.
05:25Your servant is insolent, Captain.
05:28May I order him flogged?
05:32Oh, he didn't mean it. He's sorry. Aren't you, Doc?
05:37More than you can imagine, Captain Steel.
05:41He's not such a bad guy when you get to know him.
05:46Ademer horser of X-3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5.
06:01Centurion air to sky vault.
06:03Copy, Ace. What's up?
06:05Nothing as far as I can tell. Short range scan indicates no power surges.
06:10Terror's still here. He's laying low.
06:12We've still got a ship on satellite recon. Be careful.
06:16Aren't I always? Nobody sneaks up on Ace McCloud.
06:32Doc, it's one of the Centurions. What do we do?
06:37You're supposed to be the all-wise Captain Steel hacker.
06:41You tell me.
06:43Is he one of your servants, Captain Steel?
06:47Uh, no. Not really. I mean...
06:50Captain Steel means that the man is an enemy. He must be captured.
06:56Uh, yeah. What he said.
06:59Hello!
07:01Time to give this little island the once-over.
07:06Centurion Air calling Skybolt.
07:08Any problems, Ace?
07:10Uh, negative, Max. Nothing I can't handle.
07:13There's the terrormobile, all right, but no sign of the dock.
07:16Shifting to full-wave scan.
07:19Hmm. Too many mineral deposits for me to spot any borgs.
07:22I'll keep looking.
07:31Anything on your sensors?
07:33Nah, they're probably shielded.
07:35Hey, what's this?
07:37Ever seen smoke that color before?
07:39I'll get a particle sample.
07:40Don't breathe any of it.
07:42What do you think I am, an amateur?
07:46Hey!
07:47What?
07:49Ace!
07:51That was... weird.
07:53Wasn't any wind.
07:55Enough moved like it was alive.
07:57I feel... funny.
07:58I think I'd better get out of town.
08:04Ah!
08:08Unable to establish beam link with Ace McCloud.
08:17Stay back!
08:18I'm warning you!
08:19All of you!
08:20Stay back!
08:25Stay back!
08:26Back!
08:27Okay, you ask for it!
08:37It's... it's not working!
08:38They're still coming!
08:49I don't get it.
08:51What was he shooting at?
08:52Preachers from his mind.
08:54The Mue Ohane Ohahi, the Dream Smoke made them real for him.
09:00A mighty Centurion laid low by phantoms.
09:08Captain Steel, don't you think it's time we did what we came here to do?
09:15Relax, Doc.
09:16I'm really enjoying this.
09:18Besides, there's plenty of time.
09:21I beg to differ, Captain.
09:27Is anything wrong, Captain Steel?
09:30Uh, no, not really.
09:32I just, uh, remembered something.
09:35Uh, we gotta see that ship.
09:39You know, the space shuttle.
09:41We have preserved it, knowing you would return.
09:45There's been no word from Ace for two hours.
09:47We're going after him.
09:49Crystal, assemble Cruiser and Wild Weasel.
09:52Copy, Max.
09:52Computer, commence beam down procedure.
09:55Acknowledged.
09:57Energized.
10:02Power extreme!
10:18Power extreme!
10:21Power extreme!
10:36Some interesting facts about the Moku Islanders, guys.
10:39They're a cargo cult.
10:41They believe that a Captain Steel will return one day to rule them.
10:46But here's the really interesting part.
10:50Well, well, the plot thickens.
10:53Well, that explains what's going on down there now.
11:00What say we crash their little party, Max?
11:04Sounds like a good idea to me, Jake.
11:08Hey, Max, you okay?
11:11What?
11:22Whatever your plan is, Terror, you're not getting away with it.
11:26What?
11:26No!
11:27Keep away!
11:29No!
11:30It's impossible!
11:53They are strong men, Captain Steel.
11:56It is too bad they are your enemies.
12:02Yes.
12:03Too bad for them.
12:08Skybolt calling Centurions.
12:10Do you copy?
12:11Repeat.
12:12Do you copy?
12:14Computer, implement Beam Link.
12:16Unable to comply due to loss of signal.
12:19Why didn't we take the airship?
12:22Because the natives couldn't find the shuttle from the air.
12:25Once we reach it, power summon the ship by remote control.
12:32Anybody get the number of the cargo rocket that hit me?
12:35Welcome to paradise, guys.
12:39Looks like Terror's got our assault weapons system and our tickets home.
12:45Where did all those monsters come from?
12:47As near as I can figure, here.
12:50I get it.
12:51That purple gas, some kind of hallucinogen, gave us nightmares.
12:56Right now, we gotta get out of here.
12:57And as long as that's running, we're stuck here.
13:03This is a long shot, but it's our only chance.
13:06Lucy, you've got to get those wrist comms to the guys.
13:24How about digging our way free?
13:26I already tried.
13:28The Fields of Sphere goes underground.
13:30And the natives are all on Terror's side.
13:33Terrific.
13:36Maybe not all of them.
13:37That gal's been bringing me my meals.
13:40I think she likes me.
13:52Let's go, Centurions.
13:56Sorry we can't stay.
14:06The Doomstar.
14:09The Doomstar.
14:10Excellent.
14:11Look!
14:12Doc, the Centurions, they must have got away.
14:17Maybe so, but they won't get far.
14:26Excellent.
14:28The Doomstar is mine.
14:30Hacker, come you fool.
14:32Our mission here is finished.
14:34No, you cannot take Captain Steel away from us now.
14:39Out of my way, savage.
14:43You should not have done that, Doc.
14:48Shouldn't I?
14:49You're lucky I don't leave this island a smoking cinder for the indignities I've suffered here.
14:59I should have listened to my mom and been a genetic engineer.
15:08Hey, Lucy, Lucy.
15:10Not a girl.
15:10Come here.
15:11Glad to see you.
15:12Ow, ow.
15:17They're using heat sensors.
15:18We're sitting ducks.
15:20Crystal, we need Fire Force, Sky Knight, and Tidal Blast.
15:24You got it, Max.
15:26Power, extra, extra, extra, extra, extra.
16:10Not even to walk the throne.
16:12Try this monster to find.
16:16Ah!
16:19Hacker, prepare to energize.
16:23Hacker!
16:24Gotcha, Doc.
16:43Success! My Doomstar Strafer is now a reality.
16:48Please, Doc, can't I just go back down and say goodbye?
16:52Don't be ridiculous. I intend to use Moku Island to test the Doomstar.
16:59What? But, Doc, you can't. What about Ali'i's tribe?
17:04What about them? They've served their purpose.
17:13Captain Steel for E!
17:21Captain Steel! Captain Steel! We welcome you!
17:35You can't destroy their village. What did they ever do to you?
17:40What did they do to me? You have the goal to ask me that. You're lucky I don't drive you
17:46down there with them, Captain Steel.
17:55What is that thing?
17:57It's not the welcome wagon, that's for sure.
18:00Pistol, this is Max. We're gonna need the heavy artillery.
18:03Copy, Max.
18:05Computer, commence beam down sequence for sky bolt, detonator and depth charger.
18:09Acknowledged.
18:11Energize!
18:14Power extreme!
18:17Extreme!
18:17Extreme!
18:18Extreme!
18:31Sh Import!
18:45Extreme!
18:47It's pretty good.
18:49Oh, swell, a force field.
18:51I think we're in trouble.
18:53This thing's unstoppable.
18:56There's gotta be something I can do.
19:00That's it.
19:01A force field.
19:05Shoo on these, pal.
19:08Hey, all right, the field's down.
19:11Here comes the second course.
19:18There's only one chance.
19:21I'll order it to switch to C mode.
19:26You don't get away that easily.
19:40Nice shoot, web foot.
19:47Uh-oh.
19:48Oakwood doesn't want to play anymore.
19:54I couldn't catch him.
19:56He had too much of a lead.
19:57Do not blame yourself, Metal Man.
20:00We now know that you are not enemies.
20:03We thank you for your help.
20:05We offer you the hospitality of our village.
20:10Look, uh, you guys go on ahead.
20:13I'll catch up.
20:15Centurion C to Sky Vault.
20:17We're ready, Crystal.
20:18All of us.
20:20Hey, wait.
20:22Hold it.
20:22Time out.
20:23Not again.
20:24Ah, for crying out loud.
20:27There was no reason for the fields to fail.
20:31Curse those Centurions.
20:32They'll ruin the day they crossed me.
20:38Good job, Captain Steel.
20:55Good job, Captain Steel.
