Pyramid Of Darkness Five Part Miniseries - 1985 Begins First Season Part 1 A space shuttle, heading for the Joes' Space Station Delta, is attacked by Cobra. While the Joes are distracted, Cobra plants several cargo boxes aboard the shuttle. Cobra retreats and the Shuttle launches. The Crimson Guard twins and Cobra Comm are nearly captured, but escape with the aid of the Water Robots. Several Sharcs go after them. Destro, in a Rattler, is chased through Enterprise City by the Joes in Sky Strikers, but enter a skyscraper from a secret entrance. Meanwhile, the Joes notice that the shuttle is too heavy and find the extra cargo. They dock on Delta and open the boxes. Inside they find small, cuddly creatures called Fatal Fluffies and a card from Cobra Comm. Zartan, disguised as a Joe, has also sneaked aboard the shuttle, as have the Dreadnoks. Zartan blows a whistle, turning the Fatal Fluffies into big, bad monsters with laser pistols. After being unable to contact Delta, Joe HQ finally receives a transmission from them. That allows Zartan to lock on to the location of Joe HQ and blast it with energy cannon from Delta. Joe HQ is nearly destroyed. Controlling Space Station Delta is the first step in Cobra's plan to create a pyramid of darkness. Next they have to position the control cubes on the four corners of the earth. Under the river, the Sharc encounter the Water Robots, Shipwreck and Snake Eyes are both hit, but make their way to the underwater Cobra base and sneak inside. They find a Cobra subway that leads to a Cobra assembly plant. However, at the gate, Shipwreck fails the voice identification and the group is nearly cut and smashed to pieces. Part 2 Polly says the password and it is accepted. Shipwreck and Snake-Eyes are let in and find the control cubes. Shipwreck plants a tracking device on one of the cubes, then they enter the chief engineer's office and steal a laser disc containing the plans for the cubes. The Joes have established temporary headquarters on an aircraft carrier. They get a signal from the tracking device and intercept the cube at a volcano called The Devil's Playground. On Delta, the Dreadnoks are making the Joes work. Dusty sings a song and sets up a plan. He turns the gravity back on (then Mutt turns it off again) as Dusty makes his way to the communications room. There he finds Duke and Zartan and sees the plans for the pyramid on the view screen. At the Volcano, Flint and Lady Jaye are shot down and make their way on foot to the cube as Destro tries to align the cube. Snake Eyes, Shipwreck and their pets are spotted and make their escape on a railroad cart and end up in a bad part of town. LJ and Flint are knocked into the lava (and don't burn up) and start sinking. Part 3 LJ uses a bubble producing javelin to save herself and Flint. Shipwreck and Snake Eyes are being followed, so they go into a nightclub and met a singer named Satin. Flint and LJ try to stop Destro, but are too late and are grabbed by tentacles from the cube. Satin hides Snake Eyes and Shipwreck from Col. Slash (who's following them) and they make their escape. The Crimson twins plant the second cube in a temple called the City of the Dead. Roadblock, Airtight and Footloose try to stop them and meet up with some giant statues that have come to life while skeleton warriors attack the twins. Meanwhile, on the Mountain of Glass, Major Bludd attempts to place the third cube. On Delta, Zartan begins to activate the cubes. As the first cube is activated, it lets go of Flint and LJ. The twins activate their cube, but then Tomax is captured. Bazooka and Alpine attempt to climb the side of the mountain, and are buried by an avalanche. They dig themselves out, but Bazooka's leg is injured. They then met up with Storm Shadow and trapped adrift on an iceberg surrounded by killer leopard seals. Part 4 Bazooka and Alpine are saved by Quick Kick, a martial artist stunt man who just happened to be there filming a commercial for Frozen Fudgie Bars. But they are unable to stop Bludd from activating the cube, so they hitch a ride under a Hiss to Cobra temple. Once the Joes get Tomax to the aircraft carrier, he tries to escape. And as the Joes apprehend him, Xamot is able to sense his location and mount a rescue mission. Cobra Comm promises not to deploy the pyramid until the Twin return, but plans to double cross them. Satin gets Shipwreck and Snake Eyes (who's dressed in women's clothing) out of Cobra territory. We find out that Cobra Comm framed her father and she's out for revenge. The last location is a ship's graveyard called the Sea of Lost Souls. Xamot sneaks aboard the carrier under the cover of a heavy fog and rescues Tomax. Meanwhile, Destro and the Baroness place the fourth and final cube. LJ is unable to stop Destro from aligning it, so the Pyramid is complete. All electrical power, including the power to run the carrier and even Flint's chopper, seizes to exist. Meanwhile, the twins single the Dreadnoks and they take over Space Station Delta from Zartan. Bazooka, Alpine and QK steal a Cobra cargo plane, but inside are Cobra soldiers. Bazooka is pressed up against the control panel and the jet begins to dive, with everyone unable to move due to the g-forces. Part 5 Bazooka, Alpine and QK get free and escape on some Trouble Bubbles that were in the back of the cargo jet then commandeer a Cobra chopper. On Space Station Delta, Junkyard grabs the whistle from around Torch's neck and Mutt blows the whistle, turning the Fatal Fluffies back into little harmless creatures. With the Joes controlling Delta, the Pyramid of Darkness is no more. Shipwreck and Snake Eyes arrive riding cattle to the rebuilt Joe HQ with the disk. Once the power is back on they can read the disk and find out that there is a self-destruction device at Cobra Temple. Meanwhile, Cobra Comm takes charge again of Cobra and has Destro set up a low altitude pyramid. But it isn't stable, so the Joes have at least some power. Bazooka, Alpine and QK's chopper crash lands right in Joe HQ. Since they know where the temple is, the Joes launch a massive assault against the temple. At first they are held back by the Cobra Dragon which immobilizes the Joes with its heat stroke beam. However, Alpine's yodeling shatters the Dragon and the Joes are able to enter the temple and activate the cube's self destruction device. Cobra Comm and the twins escape in a jet, and are followed by the Joes to the Enterprise Towers, which turn into a giant rocket. Shipwreck and Snake Eyes meet up with Satin again and together they get into the rocket's command center. Satin magnetizes Cobra Comm's head to the control panel, thus shorting it out. The Joes escape in Trouble Bubbles. On Delta, Zartan and the Dreadnoks escape. Zartan leaves in the escape pod while the Dreadnoks go out with the trash. Duke and the others rig up a proton beam and blast the Cobra rocket. Cobra Comm and the Twins had already escaped. The Joes celebrate in Enterprise City and the Cobra gang go on to a subway in disguise (Cobra Comm- a woman, Destro- construction worker, Baroness- nurse, Twins in their usual suits) and blame each other.
