00:01In the near future, Doc Terror and his cyborg companion, Hacker,
00:05unleash their forces to conquer Earth.
00:09Only one force can stop this evil, a handful of brave men.
00:14In 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.
00:38Jake Rockwell, rugged land operations specialist.
00:43Ace McLeod, daring air operations expert.
00:51Whatever the challenge, they are ready.
00:54The Centurions!
01:08Previously, we saw Hacker steal a computer disk with a special star map on it.
01:13This information gave Doc Terror the ability to hear a message from an alien civilization
01:18thousands of light years from Earth.
01:20A message that will allow Terror to achieve his dream.
01:23To replace all life on Earth with machines.
01:27The Centurions are kept busy.
01:30While Terror puts his plan into operation.
01:38Meanwhile, the Centurions add two new members.
01:41Energy specialist Rex Charger.
01:43And infiltration specialist John Thunder.
01:47Putting his plan into operation.
01:49Hacker and the robot Magog infiltrate Sky Vault Supply Depot.
01:55And are beamed into the space station where they capture Crystal Kane.
01:59And take control of the Centurion space station.
02:03While the Centurions train with their new assault weapon systems in the academy.
02:07Dark Terror uses the viralizer beam to take over New York City.
02:20John Thunder uses his infiltration skills to penetrate Centrum.
02:27And retrieves a valuable computer file.
02:31Only to find his escape route blocked by Magog.
02:41It's great.
02:51Two minutes...
03:05A SWEET
03:06One in common.
03:06Jennifer had six from蟤 toulock.
03:13Here, eat some of New York's finest.
03:22Guess you don't have a garbage problem where you're from.
03:25He's playing with me, like a cat with a mouse.
03:33Unless I think of something fast, I'm about to become one.
03:36I'm dead-rooted.
03:46Sorry for the rough landing.
03:52I'm not used to your beaming process.
03:55You must be one of the new would-be centurions.
03:59John Thunder, I presume.
04:01And you have to be the infamous doctor.
04:04I'm sure you know all about me.
04:07Just as Sky Vault's computer has revealed its knowledge of you.
04:13And as you will reveal the location of the other centurions to me.
04:18When I am through, you may wish I had left you in that alley to a kinder fate.
04:34You should have listened to me when you had the chance.
04:38Now we'll do it my way.
04:43You're right, Lucy.
04:45This is a good place to hide.
04:48But I've got to do something to foil Terror's plans.
04:51I don't know yet, but I need to scout around and see what he's up to.
05:01Looks like John ran into trouble.
05:03He must have gotten the disc, though.
05:06Otherwise, we'd have unwelcome company.
05:08So, what do we do now?
05:11I'm tired of sitting around.
05:12Let's move!
05:17There are some experimental systems we have not tested yet.
05:21Awesome Auger, Stratostrike, Fathom Fan, and Gatling Guard.
05:28They are specialized, but very powerful.
05:33How about we test them on Terror?
05:37Gotcha.
05:39Huh?
05:40Where'd they go?
05:42Phew.
05:43That was close.
05:46Good afternoon, Councilman.
05:49Having a nice day?
05:53What do you want, Terror?
05:55I have what I want.
05:58Unfortunately for you.
06:01Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
06:27Everything is going according to plan.
06:30I am taking over Dominion's production lines and the cybernetic idea.
06:36Well, did you find her?
06:37Uh, not exactly.
06:41Fool!
06:42Continue searching.
06:48Okay, Rex.
06:50This is where you learn how to be a real Centurion.
06:53Fortunately, we still control the beaming pod in the Academy.
06:57Power exchange!
07:08Let's give the bad guys a hit it.
07:12Now, let's see if Gatling Guard lives up to his advanced billing.
07:27Uh-oh, company.
07:34Oh, so you want to play chicken, huh?
07:37Check this out.
07:41Well, I guess he got the point.
07:50I'm at the power station, Dr. Wu.
07:53Good, Rex. Begin drawing power.
07:56Okay, here goes.
08:02Energy absorption retrieval lasers activated.
08:08You think this will work, Doc?
08:10If Rex can erect a magnetic umbrella over New York,
08:14Terra won't be able to maintain control of the robots, then.
08:18There might be some side effects.
08:20It could cause earth tremors or local windstorms.
08:25I think that's got it.
08:34It's working.
08:38Kicked up a bit of a breeze with your trick, Rex.
08:41Better watch your step, too.
08:42Dr. Wu says there might be quakes.
08:45Don't worry.
08:46A little shaky ground won't bother me.
08:48Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
08:52Whoa.
08:57Whoa, man.
09:03Jake?
09:05Jake, do you caught me?
09:07Jake!
09:09Oh, brother.
09:10Let's see if I can see where I am.
09:14I'm buried in a million tons of rock.
09:18Okay, auger.
09:19Do your stuff.
09:25Here we go.
09:33Power!
09:34Power!
09:35Power!
09:36Power!
09:36Power!
09:36Power!
09:36Power!
09:38Power!
09:40Power!
09:53Power!
09:58Power!
09:59Power!
10:03Power!
10:03Power!
10:06Power!
10:06Power!
10:06Power!
10:07Power!
10:10Power!
10:11Power!
10:14This was a good idea, Lucy. I don't think they'll look for us in here.
10:19They've captured John Thunder.
10:23Too bad this isn't a movie. Then the cavalry could ride to the rescue.
10:27Wait. That gives me an idea.
10:36Huh?
10:37Attention. Attention. Scott Gold under attack.
10:40Report to battle stations.
10:45Uh-oh. Trouble.
10:48We'll take care of you later, Indian.
11:04Crystal Kane. Nice to see you again.
11:09Welcome to Sky Vault, John Thunder.
11:12Was that ace I saw out there?
11:14I wish. No, it was a little video Lucy and I cooked up.
11:18We fed it into the medical computer's video screen.
11:21It's only tape, not the real thing.
11:31Well, then perhaps we'd better leave before Hacker returns.
11:35A great idea.
11:38What attack? There's nobody attacking us.
11:41But, but, but I saw him, Doc. On the screen in medical.
11:47Blast. It's Crystal Kane.
11:50No, it was that guy McCloud.
11:54You fool. It was a trick. Get back there fast.
12:02Looks like you've got company on the way, Max.
12:05I see them.
12:06Let's see if this baby works.
12:09Fire one.
12:14Fire two.
12:18Nice shooting, Max.
12:20Thanks, Ace.
12:30Sorry, guys.
12:31I can't let you cook me.
12:34Have a nice day.
12:50Time to see if the reverse thrusters on this crate work.
12:53Here goes.
12:59What's the matter, pal?
13:00Brakes go out?
13:08Looks like a jungle up there.
13:10Guess I'll just have to clear a path.
13:23Say, Maxwell.
13:24You coming to town or what?
13:27I just met the welcome committee, Centurion Land.
13:30On my way.
13:32Somebody save me a seat.
13:33I'll be down in a minute.
13:42Our work is completion.
13:44Soon our hype will be ready for most care production of our war machines.
13:49Good.
13:50Good.
13:52What's that?
13:56Blast.
13:57I'll malfunction.
14:00Yes, one called the Centurions.
14:04The problem is that Terror controls all the robots on Sky Vault.
14:08I might just have the answer.
14:10This is the security disc with the location of the Academy, but the disc also contains an emergency power control.
14:17Sky Vault's robots run on broadcast power, don't they?
14:20Yes, broadcast power.
14:22Then let's pull the plug on them.
14:26The hive is nearly complete.
14:28Magog and I will beam to the island.
14:31You stay and find Crystal Cain and Thunder.
14:34Then follow.
14:36You want I should bring them?
14:37No.
14:39Dispose of them.
15:05I hope this works.
15:08The disk you got from Centrum has a control program that will override the SkyVault computer, and let us shut
15:14down the power.
15:15Which should leave the alien virus powerless.
15:25Things have quieted down since you put that shield up, Rex.
15:29Yeah, too bad!
15:30Dare has lost control of most of the robots, and Dr. Wu has devised an anti-virilizer beam to take
15:37care of the rest.
15:38So, what now?
15:40We get to the World Council and coordinate our attack plan.
15:44Calling Dr. Wu! Centurion Force, calling Dr. Wu!
15:55Hacker!
15:56Surprise!
15:59Alright, there's your target. Terminate him!
16:15Huh?
16:17What's going on?
16:19They've cut the power!
16:22I'd better get out of here.
16:27They've killed all the power on SkyVault!
16:30No matter! We've finished the hive!
16:33Soon we'll have a machine army, and nothing can stop us!
16:41We can't turn the power back on until we're sure the computer isn't still affected by the virus.
16:46But we can use our wrist comp to call the other Centurions.
16:49I hope they're doing better than we are.
16:52Ow!
16:53Woo!
16:59Max! How are things down there?
17:01Not too bad, Chris.
17:02We've started to clean up New York City. How about you?
17:06Not so good. We had to cut all power.
17:09We can't risk turning it on. The virus still controls the computer.
17:12Dr. Wu is developing an anti-virilizer ray that will reverse the effects of the virus.
17:17Tell him to hurry. Without power, SkyVault's orbit is beginning to decay.
17:22We'll be hitting the atmosphere soon. I'd hate to burn up like a shooting star.
17:30The first of our army ready for a attack.
17:38More units are in production.
17:41And soon we shall have a force no man-human can sound.
17:47My dream comes true at last!
17:51The anti-virilizer is nearly completed.
17:54Without power, we can only maintain orbit for another hour.
17:58I hope there is enough time.
18:01So do we.
18:06There's still a bunch of terrorist tin cans in Centrum.
18:09Well, I guess we'll just have to have Dr. Wu send us a couple of can openers.
18:14Power, exit!
18:17We want to begin the party!
18:19Don't start without me!
18:21I'll save the last dance for you!
18:34Hey, Iron Heads!
18:36Need a little help from your friends, huh?
18:43Well, I got friends, too!
18:50But I can't let old Ace have all the fun!
19:02But I can't let old Ace have all the fun!
19:07Nice to be home again!
19:10All power is dead on Sky Vault, eh?
19:13Except for a few batteries.
19:15Good! That means the shield is down.
19:19I calculate that Sky Vault's orbit will decay shortly, and the ship will fall to earth.
19:27Perhaps, but the Centurions are resourceful.
19:30Better that we make sure Sky Vault is destroyed.
19:45Our orbit's decaying rapidly.
19:48We don't dare restore power!
20:02Oh! Oh!
20:04Uh-oh!
20:19The End
20:34everyone knows the story of frankenstein he built a monster from parts of others
20:38today this is no longer just a story hearts kidneys and other organs are transplanted from
20:44one person to another to save lives blood transfusions were the first use of this medical
20:49technology today we take this procedure for granted but at the time it was a great step forward
20:55this patient has a new kidney to keep her blood pure since we all have two kidneys but can get
21:00along fine with just one this vital organ can be given without harm to the donor this man was nearly
21:06blind until he received a new cornea to restore his vision today we are moving toward a time when
21:11reversing even brain damage could become routine
