00:01I am Adam, Prince of Eternia, defender of the secrets of Castle Greyskull.
00:06This is Cringer, my fearless friend.
00:09Fabulous-
00:17By the power of Greyskull!
00:21I have the power!
00:24D-Man, D-7, the master of the universe, D-Man!
00:43Guard to Emperor D3.
00:50It is your move.
00:55Cleric to Paladin B8.
00:59Excellent move, Roboto!
01:03And thank you for building Roboto for me, man-at-arms.
01:09I thought you needed a worthy opponent.
01:12He means unlike the rest of us.
01:15I'm taking the others on Northern Perimeter Patrol.
01:18You can join us when your game's done.
01:24Spire to Empress J7.
01:33I have you now, Roboto.
01:36Sadroxer, the bar will run out in favor, Roboto!
01:37M1-M1, M1, M1.
01:44Perhaps not.
01:46Paladin to guard Q-9.
01:53Game match.
01:55B1-M1, M1.
01:57My compliments, Roboto. Excellent strategy.
02:01Thank you. I call it the Roboto Gambit.
02:05Well, I need to join the others.
02:08Until our next match.
02:10Yes. Until our next match.
02:20This had better be good, Triclops.
02:24Oh, I think you'll be pleased.
02:40Our new secret weapon. Whatcha think?
02:47If your giant warrior couldn't defeat He-Man and his moronic masters,
02:51what makes you think this ridiculous pint-sized?
03:01New upgrade.
03:03He-Man destroys one. Two take its place.
03:06He can't win.
03:09This just might work.
03:34You've outdone yourself.
03:36Created a weapon that not only fails, but multiplies its own failures.
03:42It's just a glitch, Skell-
03:50It can work.
03:53I'll prove it.
04:18Alright, alright, I yield.
04:21And the winner is... Adam!
04:29If I had more upper body strength-
04:32Strength is not always the key, Teela.
04:34Remember, the reed bends before the wind, while the brittle branch snaps in two.
04:42Uh, right, Cyclone.
04:44All I'm saying is, one must be less rigid in approaching a problem, more flexible of mind.
04:51Whatever.
04:52That's Teela, inflexible.
04:55I'll show you inflexible.
05:03How's that, for inflex-
05:06Uh, Cyclone?
05:12Skeleton warriors.
05:15Junior versions of the ones Skeletor used against us.
05:18These must be the baby cousins.
05:39Talk about inflexible.
05:41Huh.
05:42If this is the best Skeletor can throw at us, he's slipping.
05:57Any ideas?
06:01A few.
06:02DECLINE.
06:02They are here to do.
06:02Unfortunately, they all depend on us being somewhere else.,
06:16we all depend on us being somewhere else.
06:35Return to the palace and warn the others.
06:40I will hold them off as best I can.
06:55Where is everybody?
06:56Father took them out on patrol.
07:00Then I guess it's up to us.
07:02Gather the royal guard.
07:04Adam, you...
07:05Right. I'll double-check to see if any other masters are around.
07:33By the power of Greyskull!
07:42I have the power!
08:05Okay, we're heading out.
08:08Maintain a tight formation at all...
08:09No, Teela.
08:11You and the guard need to stay here and protect the palace.
08:15I'll join Cyclone at the perimeter.
08:17Right!
08:34A failure, am I?
08:37You'll see, Skeletor.
08:39They'll all see.
08:54We're vastly outnumbered.
08:56A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
09:25But if you strike down a thousand of these, two thousand take their place.
09:30Point well taken.
09:40And should the enemy breach the palace perimeter, we'll break off into quadrants and...
09:47Roboto?
09:48What are you doing here?
09:50Volunteering for duty.
09:51This is a battle situation. You're not...
09:53I assure you, I am fully equipped to handle any situation.
09:58You're a game player, not a warrior.
10:00True. Yet both require strategy, command capability...
10:04War is not a game, Roboto.
10:06Now go!
10:06Where are you playing?
10:11Why are you playing?
10:12Who are you playing?
10:35William &
10:36player, not a warrior.
10:56And now, I am a warrior.
11:11The king and queen are being flown to a safe spot.
11:14If those bone creatures keep multiplying, there may not be such a place.
11:18When the attack comes, we hit them hard and fast.
11:21Are there any questions?
11:23Yes. Where would you like me?
11:25Not again.
11:30I have upgraded myself to warrior stance.
11:33I await orders.
11:36I told you, Roboto, no.
11:38Weapons or not, you're just a game player.
11:41I failed to see the logic in your position.
11:46Battle positions!
12:02The cave!
12:03I'll lure them.
12:04You do the rest!
12:22No!
12:23No!
12:35No!
12:56They are already beginning to dig their way out.
12:59Yes, but we've bought ourselves some time.
13:03If only we knew what was controlling these creatures.
13:07Skeletor?
13:08Maybe.
13:13Time to implement upgrade number two.
13:38Skeletor is going to be mighty, but wait a minute.
13:41Who needs Skeletor once we take the palace?
14:05If we could divert them to the gravel quarry...
14:38... not off the stairs!
14:39... Not off the stairs!
14:44I will also be able to destroy the tower.
14:45Market is below the gate left.
14:45The tower will also be placed.
14:47Get on the stairs, but there are some Czechoslovakies!
15:00Nothing can stop them.
15:03Nothing can stop me.
15:37Prepare for battle!
16:16SITUATION ANALYSIS ENEMIES INCREASING EXPONENTIALLY
16:21DIRECT OPPOSITION IS NOT AN OPTION
16:54It has come to my attention that the warrior known as Triclops is controlling the playing field.
17:00His location is behind that hill.
17:14I shall implement the Roboto Gambit.
17:54It has come to me.
17:55It has come to me.
18:08That's the best they've got.
18:11A robot.
18:25He won't last long.
18:28The same could be said for you.
18:32Working solo, Triclops?
18:34I thought Skeletor kept you on a short leash.
18:38I don't need Skeletor.
18:40Not anymore.
18:42Not anymore.
18:59Give it up, E-Man.
19:01Nothing can stop my warriors.
19:07I'm not so sure of that.
19:09Battle cat!
19:25No!
19:28No!
19:32No!
19:34No!
19:41No!
19:42No!
19:48No!
19:55No!
19:57No!
20:10We need to chat, Triclops.
20:27Roboto, it's been a privilege to serve.
20:42Poor Roboto.
20:45You were right about what you said, Cyclone.
20:48I am inflexible.
20:50I was too rigid, too narrow-minded in my definition of a warrior.
20:57I refuse to even give Roboto a chance.
21:01And now he's...
21:10I just wish I had the chance to make it up to him somehow.
21:13I'm pleased to say you'll have that chance, Teela.
21:19Roboto!
21:20I am fully upgraded and back online, and glad to be of service.
21:24But right now, I'm scheduled for a rematch with Manny Robot.
21:41Don't despair, Triclops. Things didn't work out that badly. For me.
21:47After all, if your plan had succeeded, I've no doubt you would have seized power for yourself.
21:55No, Skeletor. Honest. The thought never entered my mind.
22:00Oh, really? Well, in that case, you're free to go.
22:05If you can reach the door...
22:10If you can reach the door...
22:34It's important to be flexible in mind as well as body.
22:42The common way of doing things isn't always the only way.
22:47A flexible mind is creative and open to new ideas.
22:51Until next time.
22:54Things changing...
23:08Mine's always the only way!
23:09In this moment...
23:17If you can reach the door...
23:23Triclops oraz Black
23:24You
