Voltron Defender Of The Universe Cartoon Series

Haggar briefs King Zarkon of the Omega Comet, a comet that acts like a black hole. Long ago, Voltron had put away the comet in a far corner of the universe. Zarkon is skeptical, having heard this as a fairy tale when he was growing up. But Haggar informs him the comet was sighted in Sector G-29. The witch suggests that it is the perfect weapon to destroy planet Arus, and Prince Lotor orders Mogor to bring Princess Romelle. A ship to retrieve the Omega Comet is already on its way. A Doom ship approaches the comet, and ends up destroyed. But the ship was carrying magical rings that would allow Zarkon to control the comet. Mogor brings Romelle into the room, and Haggar tells her that the comet will be headed for Arus. In the Castle of Lions control room, the Voltron Force hears a message from Romelle warning them about the Omega Comet. Coran informs them that Voltron had dealt with the comet, but records of the attack plan were lost. Coran tells them to prepare for the end, but they insist they can deal with the comet. Coran reminds them that it took ten years to deal with the comet the last time, but Keith says they will have to work faster. They deploy the lions and form Voltron. Somewhere in Castle Doom, Zarkon informs Haggar and Lotor that Romelle had warned Arus about the comet. Voltron approaches the comet. It gets pulled in by the comet's gravity, and the graviton neutralizers are not compensating. It manages to achieve a stable orbit, and the pilots can see the rings used to control the comet and the wreckage of the Doom ship. Lance suggests blasting the comet off course, and Voltron fires all of its ammo at the comet. But the comet is too massive to be knocked off course with that kind of firepower. On a Doom ship far enough away, Romelle watches. Lotor, Haggar, and Mogor mentions that the secret attack plan was putting their power crystals on a four sector setting. Upon hearing this, Romelle runs to the radio and warns Voltron. Keith orders the power crystals to be fired up. Voltron approaches the comet and gets pulled in. It was a trap set by Lotor! Voltron is trapped on the surface. Keith orders the power setting to be reset. Voltron starts to lift off, and is pulled back. The Voltron Force tries the boosters, but the comet just pulls the robot back to the surface even as it approaches Arus. Allura warns Coran about the situation. He then gets a message from the Galaxy Alliance, and is annoyed that a minor functionary is speaking to him instead of a fleet commander. There is one fleet available, which is guarding the Alliance's main power supply. The Galaxy Alliance official tells Coran he will see what he can do. Lotor and Haggar watch. Haggar says she can make Lotor king, with Voltron out of the way, but the prince reminds her she only trapped Voltron, not destroyed it. Haggar goes to a crystal ball and it glows. On the wrecked ship is a device called the Iron Ripper, which is basically four wheels with sharp teeth. It is released and rolls towards Voltron. The Iron Ripper starts ripping into the robot. It seems all is lost for Voltron and the Voltron Force. But then something fires at the Iron Ripper. It is a fleet of ships. Romelle sees the ships on the screen and recognizes it as the Galaxy Alliance fleet detached under Prince Bandor's command. The Galaxy Alliance had sent the fleet. Keith begs Bandor to blast the comet off course. The others all agree that protecting Arus is more important. Preparing for their deaths, they all beg Bandor to open fire. The ships fire at the comet, and Voltron is also hit. Keith reminds the others that they fought for a good cause. The comet's control rings are floating away. The Omega Comet changes course, sparing Planet Arus. But Voltron is still trapped on the comet, and the space explorers find themselves feeling sleepy. Coran swears that he and the people of Arus will carry on. Meanwhile, on board the Doom ship, Romelle weeps while Lotor gloats. The prince swears to crush Bandor's fleet and the entire Galaxy Alliance. To be continued...

To recap from the previous episode, a comet created during the Big Bang was captured by Planet Doom and used in an attempt to destroy planet Arus and Voltron. While Arus was saved, Voltron was still in danger, trapped on the Omega Comet. In the meantime, the Galaxy Alliance fleet under Prince Bandor's command is under attack, and Prince Lotor launched an offensive against Arus and the Castle of Lions. Commodore Steele holds a meeting in Galaxy Garrison, informing the staff that Voltron is lost and that no fleets are available to search for the Omega Comet; he orders the staff to recall the fleet under Bandor's command. An Alliance officer speaks with Coran, and Coran tells him that Bandor is trying to save Voltron. Bandor is on his command ship, looking at the view screen which shows an image of the robot trapped on the comet's surface. An officer reminds him they were assigned to guard the power base, but Bandor reiterates his order to save Voltron. He asks if the Voltron Force pilots are alive, but they do not respond. A crewman informs the prince there is no sign of life. Bandor orders the deployment of grip beams to recover the robot, even though the pilots may be dead. Grip beams are locked, and the ships use their thrusters to try to pull Voltron off the comet. Suddenly, some of the ships are blown up. Lotor is attacking them, and Bandor insists they keep pulling. Some of the ships shut off the grip beams to counterattack. It turns out the grip beams somehow make the ships more resilient in resisting the attacks. It turns out Coran is using Voltron to send extra power to Bandor's ship. But Lotor's ships sever the beam. He laughs and tells Princess Romelle that he will send a Robeast to Arus. A capsule is fired at Arus, and a four-legged Robeast with tentacles emerges. Bandor wakes up, and finds out that they were knocked off course, and that Voltron was lost. Back on Planet Arus, the Robeast paves a path to the Castle of Lions. The Galaxy Alliance informs Coran that their fleets are held down by Zarkon. Meanwhile, people in the castle's basement talk. Some of them blame Voltron for the predicament that they are in. A voice calls out to Voltron, informing them they reached the end of the universe, and offers Voltron and its pilots a world of eternal happiness. All of the pilots decline the offer, wanting to return to Arus to protect its people. The source of the voice, a winged being who is impressed by this choice, restores Voltron's power and Voltron rises again, leaving as the Omega Comet breaks up. The pilots all reflect on their experience. Voltron flies off to Arus. Meanwhile, Romelle is hanging in chains from the ceiling of the bridge of Lotor's command ship as the Prince of Doom gloats. Bandor attacks the ship and challenges Lotor to fight man-to-man, but Lotor shows him the captured Romelle and has her at sword point. The Robeast is at the gates of the Castle of Lions. Lotor demands unconditional surrender from Bandor, despite Romelle's insistence that he does not. As an emotionally shattered Bandor arrives to surrender, Voltron comes back and seriously damages the Robeast. It forms the blazing sword and carves up the Robeast easily. Lotor flees, and Voltron remains on Arus. Lotor drags the unfortunate Romelle to the Pit of Skulls in Planet Doom, then he demands that Romelle be his bride. She refuses, and the soldiers fire at her. She falls into a pit, with many skulls falling in with her. At the bottom of a pit, a figure with a light approaches her... To be continued...
