Voltron: Defender of the Universe

Zarkon has Lotor arrested for losing battle after battle against Voltron, and attempts to lead a fight himself. But the Voltron Force succeeds in beating him back before he can topple the Polstar Canon. They actually intend to use this canon to boost them out of Arus' orbit to Doom. In this way they can destroy Zarkon's arsenal there to free the enslaved. But Zarkon and Lotor both get a surprise when the Drule Empire hears of the defeat. They're willing to bet that Lotor could do better than Zarkon, and tell him to arrest Zarkon in the same manner when he returns home. Lotor decides it will be a win-win situation if he forces Zarkon to pilot a giant robot to do battle when Voltron arrives...

Zarkon orders Lotor to conquer a world he has just discovered, knowing that Voltron will arrive with the intention of freeing the people that will be enslaved there. Haggar plans to increase the planet's gravity so that Voltron's actions will be ineffective against her own robotic menace. Four young children are more determined to see their planet freed by whatever way they can and have more belief in Voltron than their parents. They try to take Lotor prisoner but are captured instead. They are used by Voltron's enemies to let the Voltron Force know of the situation after all. However, they are powerless to warn them of the danger that will be faced during the planned rescue.

As Hazar makes another desperate attempt to arrangepeace between the Drule Empire and the Alliance, the Drulecouncil sees this as an excellent way to trap Voltron. Settingup a fake peace conference, they ambush the Air Team whenJeff flies his men in to scout out the meeting place. Jeff'steam ends up trapped in a cavern, and the entire planet isset to explode!
