00:00In 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,
00:21beamed down from the space station Sky Vault,
00:25becoming 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!
01:14Taking over this space farmer is a piece of cake, Doc.
01:18Of course!
01:20And once I get its solar mirror, I'll create a weapon so powerful,
01:24not even the Centurions will stop it.
01:29Ah, Doc, speaking of Centurions.
01:35This is no way to start the day.
01:39So, you wanna play rock?
01:46Doc, let's get out of here.

11:33we've been gathering files on Doc Terror and his kind for years
11:37I had no idea he was involved in all these catastrophes
11:41none of this material is in our research files
11:44there might be a very good reason for that
11:47what are you suggesting?
11:49I'm suggesting that your boss Garth Maddox has a vested interest in seeing the Centurions disbanded
11:55that's ridiculous
11:57then why was none of this available to you at the Maddox network?
12:00I don't know
12:04Ace here what's up?
12:05trouble as usual
12:08I'll be in the beaming pod with my exo frame on in two minutes

15:04oh great, what else can go wrong?
15:08this is a serious matter, Max
15:10innocent civilians are being hurt
15:12the public's faith in the Centurions has been seriously undermined
15:16Sir, if you'll only listen
15:18time for listening and talking is over
15:22as of this moment
15:23all Centurions are relieved of duty
15:28where you going?

15:31oh
15:33oh
15:33oh
15:34oh
15:37taxi!
15:38taxi!
15:44thank you
15:45Maddox network tower and hurry
15:48yes ma'am
15:50oh
15:53oh
15:54oh
15:55oh
15:56i know you
15:56you're not a cab driver
15:59i know
16:15You'll break your hands long before you'll break the glass, Miss Rivers.
16:28Ace McCloud to Jenny Rivers. Personal phone, 87961.
16:37That's funny. A good reporter like Jenny would never be far from her phone.
16:44But why did you have to kidnap Jenny?
16:48Because, you simpleton, I couldn't take the risk that she might blow my plan to discredit the Centurions.
16:55So I've had to restrain her.
16:59But she has to be on TV in an hour.
17:02Oh, she will be. Jenny Rivers will have the honor of broadcasting my greatest triumph to the world.
17:10I can collect the solar mirror and create the greatest weapon known to mankind.
17:16And even the Centurions can't stop me.
17:29You're not allowed in there. I got my orders.
17:32I sure don't want to interfere with your orders.
17:34I'll just have to find another way in. Or maybe up.
17:45Help me! Somebody help me!
17:56Getting a little too wrapped up in your work, don't you think?
18:00Come on, Ace. Just untie me.
18:02You were right about Doc Terror. He's after the solar mirror.
18:07He plans to make a weapon out of it.
18:10Not if I can help it.
18:12The cloud calling Sky Vault.
18:14Terror's attacking the space farmer.
18:16I need Orbital Interceptor and combine it with Sky Vault.
18:20You got it.
18:24Power extreme!
18:39In a few seconds, I'll have that solar mirror!
18:44It can be!
18:47Send out the Strapers!
18:49That Centurion must not stop me!
18:55The Doc Terror is looking for a fight!
18:58I don't want to disappoint him!
19:04Where are the rest of the Strapers?
19:07Uh, we didn't bring any more, boss.
19:10Do I have to do everything myself?
19:16This is one time disappearing wouldn't be a bad idea.
19:20And my stealth cloaking device is just what the doctor ordered.
19:26Where'd he go?
19:29Obviously, you fool!
19:31I destroyed him!
19:33My superior marksman shipment!
19:39He's behind us, boss!
19:41That Centurion's got us!
19:46Not if we get out of here!
19:53It's just like terror to leave before the party's over!
19:58And so tonight, I wish to retract all derogatory statements I have made toward the Centurions during my employment with
20:05the Maddox Network.
20:06In the last 24 hours, I have learned the truth about the Centurions and all they represent.
20:11They are, without a doubt, the last bastion of justice that this world knows.
20:17That's all we can do.
20:20Yeah!
20:22Yeah!
20:22Yeah!
20:23Yeah!
20:25Yeah!
20:27Yeah!
20:42He certainly has a fan of many men who have a brand new job.
