NARRATOR: Somewhere out in
space live the Herculoids.
Zok, the laser-ray Dragon.
Igoo, the giant rock ape.
Tundro, the tremendous.
Gloop and Gleep,
the formless fearless wonders.
With Zandor, their leader.
And his wife,
Tara, and son, Dorno.
They team up to protect their
planet from sinister invaders.
All strong,
all brave, all heroes.
They're "The Herculoids."
Our turbo inhalator is
functioning perfectly, Konar.
Excellent.
Soon it will have
absorbed the entire
atmosphere from this planet.
- What is it, Zandor?
- I don't know, Dorno.
Tara, you stay here with
Gloop, Gleep, and Zok.
The rest of us will
go take a closer look.
Be careful, Zandor.
The alarm, Konar.
KONAR: intruders!
Attention, all units.
KONAR: Attention, all units.
Intruders approach.
Intruders approach.
Looks like we're
not welcome here.
Hurry, take cover.
They're using sonic guns.
That's foolin' them, Igoo.
They're all around us.
They're in trouble.
Zok, Gloop, hurry.
Their sonic guns are sure
no match for the Herculoids.
Yes, Dorno. But it looks like
they're going to
try something new.
It's headed right
for us, Zandor!
The intruders are powerful,
but let them come.
So, Konar, you've come to rob
our planet of its atmosphere?
KONAR: That is right, Zandor.
ZANDOR: Well, you have failed.
For we have defeated
your Zorbots
and you are my prisoner.
You are wrong, Zandor
for it is you who are defeated.
DORNO: Zandor!
- Don't resist.
Once inside, we can stop him.
KONAR: And now, Zandor,
you are my prisoner.
We must get out
of this sonic cell
and destroy Konar's
evil machines.
But how, Zandor?
The release switch for
the cell is way over there.
Maybe we can't reach it,
Dorno, but an energy pellet can.
Alright, everyone get ready.
I've got just one shot,
and it's got to be good.
- You did it, Zandor.
- Someone's coming.
Good going, Gloop.
Let's go.
Now, to shut this
thing down for good.
Alright, Igoo.
Something's wrong.
The turbo inhalator
has been destroyed.
And Zandor escapes.
I will stop him!
The cybrons.
There they are.
We must hurry, Gleep.
Zandor, it's a dead end.
Hey, tinhead,
I'm over here!
No, up here.
- He's all yours, Tara!
- You know what to do, Zok!
Good shooting, Zok.
- Zandor, Konar's escaping.
- That's alright, Tara.
Now that his cybrons
and equipment are destroyed
he will no longer
be a threat to anyone.
We await your command, master.
You are to go and reduce
all forms of matter
on this planet to pure energy.
But what of Zandor
and the Herculoids, master?
They will try to stop us.
Therefore,
they must be eliminated.
- Zandor, what are they?
- It's Volton's Electrode Men.
We must find
a way to stop them
before they turn this planet
into a barren wasteland.
Zandor and Herculoids on block.
Electrode Men, attack.
Zandor, they've seen us.
Gloop, take us up.
Herculoids too powerful.
Repeat, Herculoids too powerful.
Return to base at once
for further instructions.
ELECTRODE MAN: Yes, master.
Zandor, they're leaving.
If I know Volton, they'll
be back in full force, Dorno.
Igoo, call for the rest
of the Herculoids.
It's Igoo's call.
We must hurry.
ZANDOR: There is no mistaking
that energy dome.
Volton and his Electrode Men
are in that crater.
What are we to do, Zandor?
Right now, Tara,
all we can do is wait.
The next move is up to Volton.
We will show Zandor
and his Herculoids
who are more powerful.
And this time,
I will lead the attack.
Here they come.
And Volton's leading them.
Zok and I will head them off.
The rest of you, stand ready.
Below, the Herculoids.
Now to show them our strengths.
They're attacking.
Let's let them know,
we're up here, Zok.
Activate ray repello field.
Zok, up ahead,
that row of rocks.
Thanks for the hand, Gleep.
They're driving
an energy wall into us.
That was the last
of them, Tara.
VOLTON: Not quite.
You forget Volton.
- Zandor!
- Volton has Tara and Dorno.
That's right, Zandor.
And they will remain hostages
until my Electrode Men drain
this planet of all its energy.
Volton has taken
them to the crater.
He may think he has won,
but soon it will be dark.
Then, we will make our move.
There are two Electrode Men
guarding the entrance.
Gloop, you and Gleep
know what to do.
Alright, now, Igoo,
follow me.
Zok, fly up to the dam.
As soon as you see that
we've freed Tara and Dorno
divert the water into
the crater entrance.
When it hits all
that energy inside
it should cause
quite an explosion.
Someone is attempting
to free the prisoners.
Volton will not be defeated.
Energy guns. Look out.
Let's go. We're
getting out of here.
You cannot win, Zandor.
I will make an army
of Electrode Men.
Zandor, look! The crater.
- Volton is gone.
- And he won't be back.
At least not as long as
the Herculoids are here.
ZANDOR: Come on, let's go home.
