Teknoman

You'll have to tune into Teknoman to find out what happens when Blade encounters Saber. This is their "Final Battle"!

Releasing Saber from his prison, Darkon imbues him with the same super-evolved Tekno-powers that Blade now possesses as Teknoman-Plus. Though Saber knows that the physical stress caused by the acquisition of these new powers may lead to his own destruction, he gladly accepts them as the edge he needs to destroy his twin brother.

Because he has assumed his Teknoman mode, Blade's memory loss has worsened and he momentarily forgets that he has the ability to transform into the Teknoman-Plus mode. So when he confronts Saber (in his "normal" Tekno-mode) Blade is no match for his twin.

Flashback Episode

Blade, Ringo and Star join the rest of the Space Knights at the new Command Center, where Blade's condition continues to worsen. Blade suggests that they harness the power of one of the Venomoid spore plants to the Teknobot's Interlock Chamber, in order to force his evolution into a "super" Teknoman. He has only a fifty-fifty chance of surviving the process, during which he will be immobilized for three hours. One hour after the process has begun, Lance attacks the Command Center which, without Blade's protection, seems doomed to destruction.

Blade is fighting Axe, who used to be Grand Goddard (Ness & Cain's karate instructor and one of the crewmen aboard the "Argos") before being transformed into a mutant Teknoman. Axe encases both of them in a web of impenetrable thorns, where he intends to fight Blade to the end.

After Blade and Ringo rescue a woman, Rachel, from an alien attack, she invites the Space Knights to spend some time at her farm. There they discover that the man living with her is none other than Balzac, General Galt's spy, for whom they bear little affection. But Balzac, it turns out, is a changed man.

Ringo goes home and discovers that his mother and father are casualties of the war with the aliens. He also finds out that his hometown has been devastated by a gang of roving outlaws known as the Hyenas, who prove to be no match for the Space Knights. Ringo donates is family estate as a playground for the local school children. As they continue on their journey, Blade and the other Space Knights decide the only way to reach Darkon's moon base is to sucker Axe into a trap and to take his Tekno-crystal. They find a town which is brightly lit, a sure invitation for a Spidercrab attack. It turns out that the town's inhabitants are members of a Special Forces Mortar Squad who are trying to lure the aliens into a trap, which seems to fit in perfectly with the plans of the Space Knights. Axe takes the bait and, along with a squadron of Spidercrabs, attacks the town.

In a Middle Eastern village, a young boy named Rashid mistakes Ringo (in his Tekno-suit) for the mythical Red Savior. According to legend, the Red Savior will protect the residents from the alien invaders. When Axe and the other evil Teknoman show up, Ringo's best just isn't enough.

Mistakenly believing that the aliens are using the Space-Ring as their headquarters, General Galt launches an Ultron Bomb to destroy it, in spite of the millions of human lives which will be endangered by the resulting debris falling to Earth. Blade succeeds in destroying the bomb. Meanwhile, an ailing Shara leaves the Command Center in order to help Blade by destroying Saber and his Teknoman cohorts.

Blade tells the Space Knights the story of how he became involved with the Venomoids. His real name is Ness Carter and his family was aboard the deep-space research vessel "Argos" when it encountered a strange alien craft near the rings of Saturn. Thrilled at the prospect of an encounter with extra-terrestrials, they boarded the vessel, only to be attacked by frightening creatures called Teknopods, which like the Terran plant called the Venus Fly Trap, swallowed them whole.

Arriving on Earth, Shara finds herself in a desert village where she transforms into her Teknowoman persona to save a little girl from a Spidercrab. Meanwhile, Jamison rushes to develop a new and devastating weapon with which Blade can defeat Saber -- an anti-matter warhead missile.

Despite the aliens' furious attack against the Allied Military Command's headquarters, Blade refuses to transform himself into Teknoman. He fears the Venomoid monster he will become if he exceeds the thirty minute limit. Frustrated by Blade's reluctance, Ringo takes matters into his own hands by hijacking Tekno-suit Number Two and going out to meet the enemy.

The new "TEKNOMAN" turns out to be Balzac, wearing the military's newly developed Tekno-suit. Meanwhile, Balzac's friend Marlow, the scientist responsible for designing the Tekno-suit, is hurt while attempting to transport the suit's Zeetron power source to a safe location. Balzac blames Blade for Marlow's injuries and accuses him of cowardice because Blade delayed his transformation.

Balzac discovers Commander Jamison's secret underground research laboratory below the Command Center. While the Space Knights are responding to an alien attack, Balzac bypasses Jamison's security system and enters the lab. To his surprise, Balzac finds Jamison, who's known his true identity all along, waiting for him. Balzac's surprise increases when Jamison gives him the information he's been sent to find. A complete record of all research concerning Tekno-power and its potential use in the creation of a Tekno-suit.

The Venomoids attack a nuclear fusion plant in order to steal the Earth's energy. When Blade rushes to oppose them, Saber appears and the two Teknoman do battle once again. During the fight, more images from Blade's childhood flash through his mind. He sees himself and Saber playing as brothers with their sister, Shara.

During a combined Space Knight/military attack against the Spidercrabs infesting the Space-Ring, a young cadet is partnered with a seasoned veteran who teaches him about the glories and horrors Episodic of war. After the battle, Blade gets an unpleasant surprise!

One of Jamison's old friends, Dr. Silas Random, a long time opponent of the military's efforts to take control of the planetary government, is in command of an Earth-bound convoy carrying vital supplies. Random transmits several messages over an "open" channel (one that can be picked up by Venomoids), leading the Space Knights to believe that he's planning to lead the convoy into a trap.

Maggie attempts to design a Teknobot which, when Blade enters its Interlock Chamber, will amplify the power of his shattered Tekno-crystal and enable him to transform into Teknoman again. Meanwhile, Daggar announces that he will call off the attacking Spidercrabs if Blade is handed over to him. Blade steals a rocket and flies off to meet Daggar one-on-one, carrying a bomb he believes will blow Daggar (and himself) to atoms.

Blade tells Tina he now realizes that if he remains in his Teknoman guise for longer than thirty minutes, the Teknoman side of his being will take over. He will lose his "soul" and become a slave of the Venomoid Warlord Darkon. He makes Tina promise to have Ringo blast him out of the sky before that can happen.

In an attempt to place Blade under his command, General Galt orders an armed take-over of the Space Knight Command Center. But his plan is foiled by the intervention of the President of the Terran Planetary Council. Meanwhile, a section of the Space-Ring has become detached from the station and is falling toward Earth.

The Earth is invaded by hordes of monstrous Spidercrabs under the control of the Venomoid warlord, Darkon. His first target is the Space-Ring, a huge orbital space station surrounding the Earth. Suddenly, an armored figure appears -- the Teknoman, Blade -- who attempts to stop the attack, but is confronted by Daggar, one of the mutant Teknomen under Darkon's control. In the ensuing battle, Blade is badly wounded and sent plummeting toward the planet below, where his explosive impact creates a gigantic crater. The Space Knights, Ringo and Star, are sent to investigate and are amazed when the injured Blade emerges from the crater. They take him back to their base and nurse him back to health. They have no clue as to Blade's identity or where he came from, and neither does Blade, who can remember only two things: his name is Blade and he must stop the aliens from conquering Earth.
