Voltron: The Third Dimension [1998] S1 E11 | Pidge Gets Iced
Voltron: The Third Dimension is an American animated television series produced by World Events Productions. It is a sequel to the 1980s animated series Voltron: Defender of the Universe and is set five years after the end of the series.[2] Neil Ross, Michael Bell, and B.J. Ward reprised their roles as Keith, Lance, and Princess Allura for the series. The show was animated by Netter Digital Entertainment, inc. and Mike Young Productions.[3] It departed from the original Voltron's animated look, as well as some character changes, such as the physical appearance of Prince Lotor (now voiced by Tim Curry, taking over the role originally voiced by Lennie Weinrib).
The story takes place in the Denubian Galaxy. Shannon Muir mapped the galaxy in the 1980s as a fan and posted it online. In 1996, World Events Productions became aware of the work and made it the official starmap for the show.[2]
With antagonist Prince Lotor's escape from prison, the heroic Voltron Force re-assemble against him, but must contend simultaneously with the various monsters and warships sent by Lotor (at times, captained by him) and with opposition on their own side, represented by the artificial intelligence "Amalgamus", a sophisticated computer who objects periodically to the Voltron Force's methods.

00:00The safety of the galaxy has been threatened again.
00:04Five space explorers and their five awesome lions are called upon to form Voltron.
00:11Keith, the leader.
00:13Pilot of Black Lion.
00:15Allura, Princess of Aris.
00:18Pilot of Blue Lion.
00:20Hunk, the strongman.
00:23Pilot of Yellow Lion.
00:25Pidge, the computer expert.
00:28Pilot of Green Lion.
00:30And Lance, the rebellious daredevil pilot of Red Lion.
00:36These lions must once again battle Prince Lotor, Witch Hagar, and their forces of doom,
00:42who want nothing more than to destroy all that is good.
00:46And Galaxy Alliance, under the leadership of Amalgamus and the reformed King Zargon,
00:52have called these great pilots and their robot lions together again to form Voltron, the third dimension.
01:01In time, every star collapses into a nova.
01:05This is only natural, and nature is the source of life.
01:10But when nature threatens life, then man must intervene.
01:14Nova 99 is turning into a supernova, which means it will blow up and destroy its entire star system,
01:21including 8.6 billion inhabitants who cannot be evacuated.
01:26Fortunately, we think we have found a way to stop it with a new substance we have just discovered.
01:32It is called Thunder Ice.
01:35We are putting you in charge of the project, Pidge, if you think you can handle it.
01:41Hey, if I can handle King Zargon's fleet of doom, I can handle this.
01:45Ahem. I no longer have a fleet of doom, son.
01:50Remember, I'm on your side now.
01:54Anyway, that's his story, and he's sticking to it.
01:57King Zargon is the one who suggested we put you in charge, Pidge.
02:01And he's giving you a new cyborg to help you.
02:06Yes. Allow me to present the world's first isotonic geodesic optographic robot.
02:14Igor, for short. He knows everything there is to know about... science.
02:21Say hello, Igor.
02:23Hello, Igor.
02:28He looks like a battleborg.
02:31We gave you this assignment, Pidge, because your computer skills have an unprecedented level 12 rating.
02:38Of course, you will be going without the rest of the Voltron force.
02:42No way!
02:43Your orders are to leave at once for Planet Glacier.
02:47This is the planet where Thunder Ice was discovered.
02:50There is a reasonable probability that it holds the key to cooling down Nova 99 and saving its people.
03:14Welcome, Commander. Welcome, welcome.
03:19Uh, welcome to Ice Station Penguin.
03:23Uh, you don't have to be formal just because I'm your new commander.
03:27Just think of me as one of the guys. Er, one of the droids. You know what I mean.
03:32Where is the Thunder Ice?
03:34Right here. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
03:38Thunder Ice is colder than anything else in the universe.
03:41And its density is... well, here, see for yourself.
03:45Try to pick up this piece of ice.
03:47Try? Come on, guys. How heavy can a piece of ice be?
03:58Don't feel badly, Pidge. This piece of ice is so dense, it weighs tons.
04:04If we melted that much Thunder Ice, it could bring water to a whole planet.
04:10And it's so heavy, it would fall right through the planet if it didn't have its own antigravitation field.
04:16There's enough Thunder Ice here to cool off Nova 99, but we don't know how to control it.
04:22We need a delivery system.
04:24Then just think of me as the delivery boy.
04:26All right, computer, let's get busy.
04:32I'm not going back to Planet Aris with you guys.
04:34You know something's not right here, Keith. I'm staying to check up on Zarkon.
04:38No, you're not. I am.
04:40And don't try to tell me Zarkon's reformed. You know that's a lot of... what?
04:44I said I'm gonna stay and watch him.
04:46I've got clearance for Area 52. You don't.
04:51Okay, computer, here's the data file. Input for fabrication. Do.
05:09This Thunder Icer is only a test version. We'll need a much bigger one to ice Nova 99.
05:15Here's your instructions. I need you guys to do a little beta testing.
05:25I always seem to get this circuit overload in my Net Matrix.
05:30Thank you, King Zarkon.
05:32You're a super cyborg, Amalgamus.
05:34Your calculations are based on input from 900 planets.
05:38That'd give anyone neck cramps.
05:41You know, sometimes I think I am too hard on the Voltron force.
05:45After all, their loyalty has a 100% rating.
05:49Here, let me adjust this chip.
05:57Now, what were you saying?
06:01I was saying one cannot trust the Voltron force.
06:05Human error is inevitable.
06:07Robotic entities are preferable by a factor of three.
06:11That is why I am glad you sent Igor along on this mission.
06:15But why didn't you inform Pidge that he is really a battle cyborg?
06:20He'll find out soon enough.
06:31These uplinks all check out. How are your experiments coming?
06:39A-OK, Commander Pidge.
07:01Whoa!
07:07What? What's up with this?
07:09Igor, the droids are going crazy!
07:11Igor?
07:13The Thundericer, it's gone!
07:19Hey, what are you doing?
07:31So much for the Thundericer.
07:38Green Lion!
07:40What did he do to you?
08:01Yeah!
08:08Yeah!
08:10Yeah!
08:28He cut us off! We're floating away!
08:31I can't even call for help!
08:40To be continued...
09:10Begin Lion launch sequence, now!
09:40Insert keys.
10:10Welcome, my prince. The Green Lion has been disposed of.
10:13This is the Ice Weapon.
10:15It's powerful, but it's not enough.
10:17We need more.
10:19We need more.
10:21We need more.
10:23We need more.
10:25We need more.
10:27We need more.
10:29We need more.
10:31We need more.
10:33We need more.
10:35We need more.
10:37We need more.
10:39His power pack was removed.
10:42Incompetent pile of spare parts and scrap!
10:47And my father thinks you're so great.
10:50Lost the Lion, lost the power pack.
10:55And what are you staring at?
11:01Remember, I'm the one who thought up this plan.
11:05Getting Green Lion away from the others so we could ice it.
11:08Now that they can't form Voltron,
11:11I'll ice the rest of the Lions
11:13and turn Eros into a frost planet.
11:17You'll need something bigger than this popcorn to pull that off.
11:21A Robeast, perhaps?
11:23Yes, yes!
11:25Get on it, old witch,
11:27and make it a wicked one!
11:33Four Robot Lions entering Glacian airspace.
11:37Igor!
11:39This would be an excellent chance to test your mettle.
11:43Stop them!
11:45I'll do more than that, my prince.
11:47I'll demolish them.
11:49Talk is cheap.
11:51I'll scan you up to the verge.
11:54You can even take one of my Dune ships.
11:57In fact, take two or three if you like.
12:07Don't look now, guys,
12:09but we've got company,
12:11and it's not in that nook of the north.
12:13I am Igor.
12:15I froze Green Lion and sent it down the ice floe
12:18with its pilot.
12:20Now it's your turn.
12:22Thanks for the info, pal.
12:24Princess, fight or search party?
12:26I'll stay and fight with you, Keith.
12:28Okay. Hunk, Lance, you two look for Pidge.
12:31Yes, sir, Commander.
12:33How's that for military discipline?
12:37Oh!
12:55Green Lion,
12:57the thermal units in this suit can't hold out much longer.
13:00When they run out of energy,
13:02I'll be as frozen as you are.
13:04At least we're going together, Big Kitty.
13:06I wouldn't want it any other way.
13:14Of course they would pick one of the biggest planets in the quadrant.
13:17These ice floes go all over the place,
13:19and they go on forever.
13:21Yeah, but we don't have forever.
13:23We've got to find Pidge Buddy fast.
13:25Let's try down there.
13:27Whoa!
13:33Prepare reverse bolo maneuver.
13:51Come on, baby.
13:53All right, you can do it.
13:56Come on!
14:01Gotcha!
14:13Doom ships, follow my lead.
14:15Execute advanced ramming maneuver.
14:19Time to turn the tide, Princess.
14:21Ready?
14:23Split!
14:25Crossfire!
14:29Nice work.
14:31Now what about Ram Boy?
14:33Well, they say one good ram deserves another.
14:35And no one butts heads like the Black Cat.
14:40You want to ram Igor?
14:42Try it.
14:54Boom!
15:08So much for my father's great battle borg.
15:12But he did buy us some time.
15:15Is the rogue beast ready?
15:19Ready to wreak havoc!
15:25Uh-oh, looks like there's a cold front coming in.
15:28Get ready for some stormy weather.
15:31Whoa!
15:47It's Pidge Buddy.
15:49Looks like he can use a little warm power.
15:58Thanks, Hunk.
16:02Whoa!
16:04A ten megaton heat beam doesn't even dent this stuff.
16:08You mean there's no way to get through?
16:11Are you kidding, Hunk?
16:13Red Lion's the Lion of Fire.
16:15She'll find a way to get through, won't you, kitty cat?
16:22Yee-haw!
16:32Whoa!
16:48Nothing fazes this thing.
16:52Whoa!
16:59So much for the heat shield.
17:01How about a game of chase, kid?
17:03Good call.
17:08Let's see if we can lose him in that snow field.
17:11Stay low.
17:22Whoa!
17:32All right, nice maneuver.
17:34Looks like we lost him.
17:41Or not.
17:44Here it comes again.
17:46Whoa!
17:52Whoa!
17:59This thing is relentless.
18:02Yeah, but we're more relentless.
18:05Time for some Red Lion firepower.
18:12All right, we've got his attention.
18:14Now if we form Voltron, we can really turn up the heat.
18:17Let's do it.
18:19Activate interlock.
18:23Kynotherms connected.
18:25Infra-cell up.
18:30Megathrusters are go.
18:34Let's go, Voltron Force.
18:49Whoa!
18:59Form feet and legs.
19:08Form arms and torso.
19:15And I'll form the head.
19:20Whoa!
19:28Here it comes. Detach royal shield.
19:35The shield is absorbing the thunder ice.
19:38Is it ever? It's pulling it out of the Robies like a magnet.
19:41I think Frost is running out of cold power.
19:45All right, it's out of ice.
19:53Which means it's out of luck.
19:56Round and round it goes.
19:58Where it stops, nobody knows.
20:01Happy crash landing.
20:04Happy crash landing.
20:12Way to go.
20:15Pidge, are you there?
20:17I have been trying to reach you for 0.8 solar clicks.
20:22Sorry, Amalgamist. I was kind of iced in.
20:25No time for excuses.
20:27New data predicts Nova 99 may blow up at any moment.
20:31Have you found a delivery system for the thunder ice?
20:34Well, as a matter of fact, we have, sir.
20:37The best system in the world.
20:39It's called Voltron.
20:41You got that right, Pidge.
20:43Come on, team. Next stop, Nova 99.
21:02All right, we did it.
21:04Nova 99 is saved.
21:06All right. Yeah.
21:12That's right, Amalgamist. Lotor's gone.
21:15He took off when we took out his Robies.
21:17The droids report that you have been an excellent leader, Pidge.
21:21So as part of my multitask modality,
21:24I'm going to send you a message.
21:27Excellent leader, Pidge.
21:29So as part of my multitask modality,
21:31I am recommending you for an Alliance Science Award.
21:35I only regret that Igor malfunctioned as he did.
21:39He didn't malfunction, sir. He was a plant.
21:42And we know who was behind it. Zarkon.
21:45Careful, soldier.
21:47Before you make any rash accusations,
21:49make sure you have proof that meets Alliance standards.
21:54I knew he was going to say that.
21:56How can a super cyborg be so dense?
21:59I'll tell you how.
22:01What if his chips were altered by a certain ex-space pirate?
22:05Well, that would explain a lot of things.
22:07But we'd need solid proof.
22:10Yeah, and that's not easy to get.
22:12But hey, at least there's some good news.
22:14We got rid of that Igor contraption.
22:16That thing was a menace.
22:19A raging Nova can be quenched,
22:21but an evil heart is another matter.
22:24Stay strong, Ventron.
22:26In a world made cold by hate and fear,
22:29you are the one who keeps the fires of hope burning bright.
22:54AVAILABLE NOW
