01:31No attack on the beacon shall go unchallenged!
01:34Infoscan identifies the ship as belonging to...
01:37the defenders of the Earth!
01:42Enders!
01:43All has proceeded according to plan, Mighty Ming. The Beacon of the Eternals has declared war upon the Defenders of the Earth.
01:50I succeeded in fooling the Beacon's master computer into believing it was Flash Gordon's ship that attacked them.
01:57Can you be certain the Beacon has the power to destroy the Defenders in battle, sire?
02:05Behold, Octon.
02:06The Beacon's ultimate weapon of destruction, the Guardians.
02:23Good luck, Kishin.
02:25Be careful, Kishin.
02:31Come on, you dumb robot. I'm not afraid of you.
02:36Wait a minute.
02:40Look out, Kishin!
02:45Hurrah!
02:46Yeah!
02:48Well done, Kishin.
02:50Thank you!
02:56What's Kisog to?
02:59Zafi!
03:00I should have known. Very clever, wise guy.
03:10I hate to break up your little party, but the Defenders space station is under attack.
03:15Who could it be, Dad?
03:16I don't know, son, but we'll soon find out.
03:20You've got to get through!
03:22Unable to communicate with Defenders space station.
03:25All signals jammed.
03:26I'll bet anything Ming's behind this, Dad.
03:29Of all the times for Mandrake to go far in the Phantom to be in New York.
03:33I hear you.
03:40Wow.
03:41What hit this place?
03:44Keep your eyes open, kids.
03:46Whoever did this may still be in the area.
03:48Take it easy, Zaf.
03:49I don't see anything to be scared of.
03:52Yet.
03:54We don't like this.
03:55It's too quiet.
03:57Anyone inside the space station, Dynak?
03:59Station's computer still jammed.
04:02Only one thing to do.
04:04You kids stay put, but be ready to move when I give the word.
04:07Left out of the action again.
04:09Flash knows what he's doing, Rick.
04:11He's playing a little cat and mouse with our unwanted visitors.
04:14Dad's trying to lure him out of hiding, using himself as bait.
04:22Uh-oh.
04:23It looks like we're the bait.
04:30Look at those guys.
04:32I've never seen anything like them.
04:34And they're headed right for us.
04:36No wonder Dad said be ready when he gives the word.
04:38I'm ready now.
04:39Wah!
04:40Wah!
04:40Wah!
04:40Wah!
04:40Wah!
04:40Wah!
04:40Wah!
04:40Wah!
04:40Wah!
04:41Wah!
04:41Wah!
04:41Wah!
04:44Wah!
04:47Wah!
04:47Ah!
04:47Wah!
04:48Wah!
04:48Wah!
04:48Wah!
04:49Wah!
04:50Wah!
04:50Wah!
04:51Wah!
04:51Oh-oh!
04:53Wah!
04:54Wah-oh!
04:55All right!
04:56This is more like it!
04:58Yeah!
04:59Wah-oh!
05:05Aw-who-ah!
05:06Wah-oh.
05:07That's what-I call a quick recovery.
05:09Wah!
05:10Wah-oh-oh!
05:12Wah!
05:13Whip-oh!
05:13Wah-oh!
05:14Dynak, give me a reading on these guys.
05:26Hey, you guys really play rough. Who are you?
05:29Guardian robots from the Beacon of the Eternals.
05:32The most powerful form of robot in the known universe.
05:36Guardians, of course.
05:38But why would the robot guards want to battle with us?
05:40They only fight enemies of the Beacon.
05:42L.J., you head for New York and pick up your dad, Mandrake, and the Phantom.
05:47Sure thing, Flash. Run away.
05:53You must keep the Guardians separated if you are to defeat them.
05:57Rick, you and Jetta head back and cover Monitor.
06:00Right, Dad.
06:12Looks like it's just you and me now.
06:31And those are the kinds of odds I like.
06:33Now if I can just bring this baby around.
06:40Oh, no. Not now. Not now.
06:48Dynak, main engine out.
06:50They'll be on me in less than 30 seconds.
06:52Come on, Dynak.
06:57Ten seconds.
06:58Any suggestions?
07:00I've hit that robot with everything I've got and it's still coming.
07:03What more can I...
07:04Wait a minute.
07:05What's that?
07:08Of course.
07:09If I can manage to fire my lasers into the plate and cause a power overload...
07:14Wait a minute.
07:15What do I mean if?
07:16I've got to.
07:16Guardian Robotship destroyed.
07:34Right. One down and two to go.
07:38What's that?
07:39The wreckage of the robot is transforming.
07:43Transforming? It's disappearing.
07:44What happened, Dynak?
07:45The energy from the destroyed Guardian Robotship has been transferred to the other two Guardians.
07:52By destroying one Guardian, we made the other two stronger.
07:56The kids are going to need my help at Monitor.
08:00Flash Gordon easily defeated the first Guardian Robot, Sire.
08:06Perhaps you have overestimated the Guardian's power.
08:10You have underestimated my genius, Octob.
08:14Flash Gordon's success is not the victory, it would appear.
08:19But, Excellency, only two robots remain.
08:22And the Defenders will soon be united to engage them in battle.
08:26As a team or individually, they will be unable to defeat the Guardians of the Beacon.
08:34That robot's going to break through the launch bay doors.
08:48You're right, Rick.
08:49Those doors won't hold up much longer.
08:50At this rate, it'll soon be inside Monitor's defenses.
08:57Dynak, create a stasis field to hold the attacker suspended.
09:00To create a stasis field would require all available power, leaving Monitor vulnerable.
09:06Do it!
09:08Do it!
09:08Do it!
09:08Dad, you're...
09:34I'm all right, son.
09:35When I saw your trick-or-treater at the main bay doors,
09:38I came in the emergency launch bay,
09:40and it looks like I made it here just in time.
09:55The attacker is under my control.
09:58For now.
09:59Ready, son? We're heading to New York.
10:05What's the story about these robots, Dad?
10:10Eons ago, a brilliant and benevolent people known as the Eternals
10:15were said to have visited many worlds,
10:17building incredible cities and sharing their great technologies,
10:21doing good for thousands of peoples.
10:23But when they moved on to other parts of the galaxy,
10:27the cities they left behind became decadent.
10:30To save themselves, the natives of a small planet named Terridor
10:34took a communications station the Eternals had built
10:37and converted it into a spacecraft.
10:39It was called the Beacon of the Eternals.
10:42Now the Beacon carries three robots designed by the Eternals themselves to protect it.
10:48Guardians.
10:49Guardians with two purposes.
10:51To help find the Eternals again,
10:53and let nothing harm them or stand in their way.
10:56Why are the Guardians attacking the Defenders?
11:04We haven't tried to harm them.
11:06The Beacon has a highly sophisticated computer system.
11:09It wasn't by mistake we became their enemy.
11:11I'll bet whoever threatened the Beacon used the Defender look-alike ship.
11:15That's exactly what I've been thinking, son.
11:23LJ!
11:24That big guy is still right on our tail!
11:26We've gotta reach Dad and the others before it reaches us!
11:39Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
11:41And now, for my next trip,
11:44I will take not a rabbit out of a hat,
11:47but rather some hats out of a rabbit!
11:51Whoa!
11:52We've just made it that time.
12:13Just made it that time.
12:24Boy, talking about a fast learner.
12:26Almost to the Magic Palace.
12:28If we can just ditch this big goon for a moment, we'll be able to join up with the others.
12:33Sounds good to me.
12:37There's the Magic Palace.
12:38Well, well.
12:46Ahoy there.
12:49I really must teach my fellow club members a few new tricks someday.
12:58What's that?
13:08Energy is fighter.
13:13He's being chased by a giant Guardian Robot.
13:15What's a Guardian Robot?
13:17Details later.
13:18I believe LJ is about to land.
13:24Okay, now to get her down quick.
13:29That's quicker than I had in mind.
13:32Ah!
13:32Ah!
13:32Ah!
13:33Ah!
13:33Ah!
13:33Ah!
13:38LJ, what have you done to anger that monster?
13:50Nothing.
13:51We were set up somehow.
13:52Yeah, it's out to get us.
13:54Quick, Lothar.
14:11We've got to do something before he crushes Mandrake.
14:19Come on, Lothar.
14:21Push.
14:21I'm pushing.
14:23I'm pushing.
14:23I'm pushing.
14:24This isn't one hippie robot, my friend.
14:29He's not just hippie, Dad.
14:31He has special powers, too.
14:33Laser powers.
14:38Gangway!
14:41Now you see me.
14:42Now you don't.
14:49Mandrake, get out of the way.
14:51On the contrary.
14:52We must make a stand.
14:53Obviously, mere strength has no effect on him.
14:55Let's see how our friend likes these.
15:12It's no good, Mandrake.
15:14He's adapting to everything you do.
15:17Nothing seems to stop him.
15:18Pup's right.
15:19We can't stop him.
15:22Pup's right.
15:22We can't stop him.
15:24Pup's right.
15:24We can't stop him.
15:25You guys look like you could use some reinforcements if you'd like me to take over from here.
15:37Nonsense, old boy.
15:38You've only just arrived.
15:39And the floor show's about to begin.
15:42Hope you've brought a heavy coat with you, my overgrown friend.
15:45I think I know what you're up to, Mandrake.
15:47And it just might work.
15:48Look.
15:48He's adapting to Mandrake's illusion again.
15:51Raising his body temperature to survive the cold.
15:53But it's only an illusion.
15:55So, he's burning himself up.
15:57Take cover, everyone.
15:59We're about to enjoy some fireworks.
16:01That was great, Mandrake.
16:10Why, thank you, Kushin.
16:13Now we've got to get back to Monitor.
16:15I hope Dynak's holding up okay.
16:17The Defenders have defeated yet another Guardian Robot, Excellency.
16:22The Defenders have played their part in my plan perfectly.
16:26Behold, witness the genius of Ming the Merciless.
16:31Watch as the life force of the fallen Guardian leaves its broken body to bond with Primus, Master Guardian.
16:40And now, the most powerful robot in the galaxy.
16:44By destroying the secondary Guardians, just as I predicted.
16:49Defenders have only succeeded in creating one Guardian they cannot possibly destroy.
16:56Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
16:59Look, Dad.
17:00It's doubled in size.
17:02Hard.
17:03Getting weaker.
17:05Soon be gone.
17:08You know, the Beacon of the Eternals mission might hold the answer.
17:12We're not really the Guardian's top priority.
17:15Finding the Eternals is.
17:17So, if we could make Pilot, the beacon's supercomputer, think that he has found the Eternals,
17:22then he would call off the Guardian and go wherever we send him.
17:25Great idea.
17:26How can we fool a pilot, Rick?
17:28If Dynak had the power, she could do it easily.
17:31But with the stasis field sapping her energy like this...
17:34Rick!
17:35Hang on, Dynak. We're almost there.
17:49There. I'm finished.
17:50Terry's power generator is now linked directly to Dynak.
17:54Ready, Dynak?
17:55Affirmative.
17:56Rick.
17:59Pilot, the navigator is expecting a specific response from the Eternals to the Beacon's call for help.
18:06How is this going to work, Rick?
18:08Dynak is scanning the robot's memory banks, looking for the Eternals' response to the signal,
18:13which will transfer to Flash's sword ship.
18:15It'll be loaded into the memory bank of a homing torpedo.
18:18Homing torpedo ready for launching.
18:21I'll take it from here, guys. Thanks.
18:23Losing power.
18:30Losing power.
18:32Stasis field no longer operable.
18:34There's the black hole, the most dangerous phenomenon in space.
18:53Whatever goes in there doesn't come out.
18:56Hope that torpedo's message draws the beacon in after it.
18:59Because if it doesn't, the defenders are history.
19:02Now the defenders are finished!
19:08The Guardian's inside monitor.
19:14If the Guardian isn't someone back to the beacon, fast!
19:22If he isn't, then all I can say is it's been a pleasure working with you, defenders of the Earth.
19:27The Eternals have answered our call.
19:30Our search has ended.
19:32Depart immediately.
19:36It worked!
19:38The Guardian's following Dad's false signal!
19:40No, this cannot be!
19:43I am afraid so, sire.
19:46The Defender's ploy has worked.
19:48The Guardian is withdrawing.
19:52I see, you useless pile of scrap!
19:56Let's hope the Beacon someday finds the Eternals and brings the good back to its planets.
20:10The Guardian is withdrawing a far from the Babylonians.
