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.
00:11A handful of brave men.
00:13In specially created exo-frames, they can be transported anywhere.
00:18To fuse with incredible assault weapon systems.
00:21Beam down from the space station Sky Vault.
00:25Becoming man and machine.
00:27Power 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 Centurion!
01:16There he is.
01:17Max Ray, come in.
01:19Do you read?
01:19Loud and clear.
01:21Mako is at heading 050, between you and our hydrofoil.
01:26I've got him.
01:27Ready to take delivery.
01:29I love these early morning fishing expeditions.
01:32I've got him.
01:32I love them.
01:38I love them.
01:43I love them.
01:46I love them.
01:47Max Ray did sky bombs.
01:48Treat them depth garters.
01:52Energize!
01:58Hold it right there, Mako. Your crime spree is finished.
02:02You can't. I'm making a big mistake.
02:06The intertech computer doesn't make mistakes.
02:10Save it for the judge, Mako.
02:14I think this guy's escaped for the last time.
02:22Max Ray, you're looking at him.
02:25You're under arrest. Release Mr. Mako.
02:28What is this, some kind of joke?
02:30I have a warrant for your arrest, not Mako's.
02:33Issued by the intertech computer.
02:38This has got to be a mistake.
02:40The intertech computer doesn't make mistakes.
02:55I've never been so humiliated in my life.
02:58You're humiliated?
03:00I was the one who had to spend all day finding a bail bondsman.
03:04At least you were a free man. I was behind bars.
03:08Could you two quiet down? I'm working here.
03:11Now, where were we?
03:14Hit me.
03:16Love to.
03:18Blackjack, I win. Again. You now owe me $3.4 million, Mr. McCloud.
03:24I think you cheat.
03:27Series XB-14C models are not programmed for cheating.
03:31I have a priority message.
03:33Why, Crystal, honey, you interrupted us right in the middle of a discussion of the higher programming functions.
03:38Nice try, McCloud.
03:41Since you're all present, I'll switch to the main screen.
03:44We have an emergency.
03:46The main intertech computer has suffered a massive malfunction.
03:50Tell me something I don't already know.
03:53That could be real trouble.
03:55Every law enforcement agency in the world is tied into that computer.
03:59It's trouble, all right.
04:01Criminals are going free. Investigations are being blown.
04:04Everything is out of control.
04:05Sounds like a job for programmers, not centurions.
04:10We've already determined that there are no bugs in the programming.
04:14It's something physical.
04:15And you three need to be in Geneva in one hour.
04:19Gee, I've never debugged a computer before.
04:23I think we already know the name of this particular bug.
04:27Dark Terror!
04:40Something's still wrong.
04:43I wish we were small enough to see inside.
04:58I don't like this place.
05:02Relax, Hacker. We're among friends here.
05:07I just don't understand why we had to come back.
05:11Don't trouble yourself with deeper questions, Hacker.
05:15Just remember to stay away from those circuits.
05:22Fools! Watch out!
05:26Come on, Hacker. That explosion gave away our position.
05:30We've got to reach the central processing unit to finish my work.
05:37Where are the centurions, Miss Kane?
05:40I'm sure they'll be here any minute, Dr. Peabody.
05:43They're very reliable. Usually.
05:48Dr. Peabody, these gentlemen are requesting a security clearance.
05:53Come on, guys. Give them a break.
05:55Hey, they weren't gonna let us in.
05:57You did say you needed us in a hurry.
06:00See what happens when you rely on human security rather than computers?
06:05Come with me.
06:07Nice guy.
06:09It appears that there is a unique virus loose in the computer.
06:13It's destroying everything.
06:15A virus program?
06:17Not a program. An actual virus.
06:21Something is physically attacking the structure of the computer.
06:25Sounds like they need someone to make a computer house call.
06:29I've got it.
06:30Crystal, remember that experimental size reduction process?
06:34The Matheson process?
06:35I think it was an intertech project.
06:39Centurions make passes at girls who wear glasses.
06:43Take a look, Centurion.
06:45You use these things? That one looks like a rifle.
06:49It's a laser welding gun.
06:51I use it whenever there's a hardware problem in the computer.
06:54What happens if you sneeze?
06:56Maybe you can tell me. You're going to be even smaller.
07:00Come on, lover boy. It's time.
07:03Crystal, have you got the coordinates?
07:05Yes. You'll be shrunk and beamed inside first.
07:08Then the weapon systems will be beamed here from Sky Vault, shrunk and sent to you.
07:13Let her rip.
07:28We made it. And in one piece.
07:31Wow, what a trip. Look at this place.
07:37And is this what I think it is?
07:39Now would be a good time for our systems to show up.
07:43We better contact Crystal.
07:45Look out! Strapers!
07:50Behind us! Cramatizers!
07:52Great! A strap!
08:04Crystal, this is Max. Come in!
08:07We're under attack.
08:10What's that?
08:13Crystal! Come in!
08:22Looks like we've reached the end of the line.
08:28Well, it's been nice knowing you guys.
08:37Jake! Ace! Over here, quick!
08:52Are we safe?
08:54For the moment.
08:55It won't be if we go back on those freeways.
08:59Let's see where our tunnel leads.
09:03Let's try Crystal one more time.
09:06I feel small.
09:10All I'm getting is squeaks.
09:13It sounds like mice.
09:15The Centurions.
09:17Because they're miniaturized, we can't understand them.
09:20Skyball, this is Crystal.
09:22Run those mouse noises through the computer.
09:24And amplify them.
09:28There it is, Hacker.
09:30The central processing unit.
09:32Now we can finish our work.
09:35Jake, are you sure we should have taken a right back there?
09:38We went right?
09:39I thought we took the middle passage.
09:41Take it easy, guys.
09:43There were five passages to choose from.
09:46One's just as bad as another.
09:49Centurions, this is Crystal.
09:51Come in, Max.
09:52Crystal, am I glad to hear from you.
09:55Where have you been?
09:56All your systems are operating at high speed, Max.
09:59We have to run all communications through Skyball's computer,
10:03or we won't understand each other.
10:05Tell them they must get to the central processing unit immediately.
10:08It's already been damaged.
10:11Max, did you get that?
10:13Affirmative.
10:14Send Wild Weasel for Jake, and Sky Knight for Ace.
10:17What about you?
10:19I'll hitch for the moment.
10:21Out.
10:22Skyball, this is Crystal.
10:24Assemble Wild Weasel, miniaturize, and prepare to beam to Jake.
10:28Get ready, Jake.
10:31Power, extreme.
10:33Power, extreme.
10:43So go away.
10:44Okay, Crystal.
10:45Or go for Ace and Sky Knight.
10:48Power, extreme.
10:50Free, free, free.
11:04Well, you're up there, Hotshot.
11:06How about finding us a way out of this maze?
11:14This way.
11:16Hang on.
11:23Keep the flyboy in sight.
11:26It's going to be tough with my eyes closed.
11:32Excellent.
11:35Watch and learn, Hacker.
11:47See how it's done?
11:49Now, get to work, but leave the central tower for me.
11:59Soon this computer and all of Intertech will be mine.
12:09It's already started.
12:11Don't tell me we've got to go into that.
12:14Afraid so, buddy.
12:15And what are we waiting for?
12:18Crystal, this is Jake.
12:20Take Wild Weasel and beat me Hornet.
12:22Coming up.
12:23Power, extreme.
12:27Hurry up, guys.
12:29Or there won't be anything left for you.
12:32My turn.
12:33Crystal, this is Max.
12:34Send me.
12:39Max, come in.
12:42Send me Tidal Blast on the double.
12:44Power, extreme.
12:49Activate hydropower heel fist.
13:03Direct hit.
13:04As if I could do anything left.
13:09Centurions.
13:10Hacker, hold them off until I destroy the artificial intelligence tower.
13:20If I could only get behind this guy.
13:29Hey, you don't want to eat me.
13:31Try this instead.
13:39You guys just don't fight fair.
13:42Ace, a little help here.
13:45My pleasure.
13:47Fire laser cannon, Todd.
13:52It's almost finished, Hacker.
14:04So are we.
14:06Just one more blast.
14:09Hold it, Terror.
14:12This little adventure is finished.
14:15It's Intertech that's finished, Centurion.
14:26Wind and lightning in here?
14:29It must be the computer itself.
14:31It's fighting us as if we were germs.
14:42Max, look out.
14:50Max!
14:53Hey!
14:55Hurry, Ace.
14:59Just a little farther.
15:02Gotcha!
15:07Good catch.
15:09I'll send you my bills.
15:15Hey!
15:16It's stuck!
15:20Shh!
15:21I hear something.
15:25What's that?
15:27It must be the computer's self-defense system.
15:30It's got terror on the run.
15:35My work is finished.
15:38Enjoy yourselves in the micro-world, Centurion.
15:44Great! Terror's given up.
15:46Let's get out of here and get tall again.
15:52We have to clean up the mess first.
15:55Well, taking care of a little old Sentinel will be easy.
15:59Try taking care of a hundred.
16:01We don't have enough ammunition to deal with that, Lenny.
16:04I'm sorry.
16:05The computer isn't responding to my commands.
16:08I can't talk to it.
16:11Let me give it a try.
16:13Computer, will you answer a question?
16:16Affirmative.
16:18What program are you running?
16:20Search and Destroy.
16:22It's an artificial intelligence program.
16:25It's created its own sentinels to destroy invaders.
16:29We've failed.
16:31Not yet.
16:32There's got to be a way.
16:37Come in, Crystal.
16:38This is Max.
16:39Take cover!
16:44The coast is clear.
16:46Boy, that was close.
16:48Ace, behind you!
17:01I'm just too fast for them.
17:04Or too lucky.
17:06Now if I can only reach Crystal.
17:16Crystal, what are you doing here?
17:18I couldn't let you guys have all the fun.
17:20Don't worry.
17:21There's plenty to go.
17:21There's plenty to go around.
17:23Here they come again.
17:25Here they come again.
17:41I've got to see the artificial intelligence unit.
17:43Then look up.
17:46That crack seems to be getting wider.
17:49That's what I was afraid of.
17:50If only we had some way of putting it back together.
17:53How about a very small bottle of glue?
17:56Well, we've already seen very tiny tools for putting things back together.
18:00Whatever it is, make it fast because we've got company.
18:04All right.
18:05Here's what we'll do.
18:06First, Crystal, call Dr. Peabody.
18:08Ace, Jake.
18:12Computer, beam me Sky Bolt.
18:15Power X3!
18:17Breathe!
18:30Gee, putting Sky Bolt up against all those Sentinels doesn't seem fair.
18:35Yeah, but they won't get a chance to complain.
18:39Ace is buying us time.
18:40Let's use it.
18:41Do it, Crystal.
18:43Okay, Dr. Peabody.
18:45Send it in.
18:49I wish we could have shrunk this thing.
18:52Then it wouldn't have the power it needs to fix the tower.
18:58Ace, how about our cover?
19:00Complaints, complaints.
19:02Fire in seeking missiles.
19:06Crystal, Jake and I will raise it.
19:08You aim it.
19:10Let's hurry. Ace is outnumbered.
19:13Here goes nothing.
19:17Hey, it's working.
19:24Now I know how Custer felt.
19:32I guess I've got the touch.
19:43Thanks to Crystal, we were able to repair the damage to the Artificial Intelligence Unit.
19:48You should be able to compensate for the other problems with new programs.
19:52Or you and your technicians can get small and do some actual repairs.
19:57At least it will be under your control, not Doc Terrors.
20:01I'm glad. We have a lot of catching up to do.
20:04Oh, what's wrong now?
20:06I think I know.
20:11Even with Artificial Intelligence, its bets will be predictable.
20:15I didn't know you were a software specialist, McCloud.
20:21Uh, Sally, what do you say we go have some lunch?
20:24Whatever you say, Wiz.
20:29Wiz, I like the sound of that.
20:38You
20:38Because of the Alguns, you're getting frustrated.
