Original U.S. Air Date: 09/29/1984*

Synopsis: The Explorer needs to repair its stellar cable, so while waiting for Captain Keyo to arrive with his support fleet, Hawkins stops the ship near an asteroid belt to perform the repairs. They also had a deal with the Drules that Voltron would not be used, which was why there was need for a support fleet. Jeff and his team are out scouting the area when a Drule attack fleet is discovered to be attacking Keyo’s fleet. Disobeying Hawkins, Jeff takes his team to the scene of the attack but the five ships do little help. At Keyo’s request, Jeff reluctantly leads his team back to the Explorer.

As the fighting worsens, he disobeys orders again and heads back to Keyo’s aid, this time with the other two teams in tow. He’s too late to save Keyo however, arriving only in time to see the Captain’s ship destroyed by a Robeast (one of few ‘flesh and blood’ character deaths that got by the American censors). Angered by the massacre, Jeff orders Voltron be formed, and the robot proceeds to mop up on the Drules. When all the fighting is over and the VF have returned to the Explorer, Hawkins ‘punishes’ the team captains by making them eat what they think is ice cream with vegesauce topping.
