EPISODE #16 – THE MICROFILM MYSTERY
(note use of earlier, alternate title)

Scientists on Earth have developed the most sophisticated computer in the Universe, the Metamorphosis. It is able to transform any substance and it also contains the microfilmed blueprints to all of the Center Neptune’s computers. With this machine, Zoltar and the Spirit would finally be able to rule the world.

They enlist the help of the Juggler, a Spectra agent who has a secret machine that can reprogram the Earth’s robots. He uses it to turn the laboratory robots against the scientists and capture the new invention for Spectra. Zoltar has come to Earth in the Mesozoic Robot Dinosaur and with the Metamorphosis safely in his possession, he begins to reprogram all the Center Neptune’s computers with false information – even Zark begins to malfunction! The G-Force attacks Zoltar in the Robot Dinosaur, but using the Metamorphosis, he transforms the robot into a speeding Caterpillar and disappears into a nearby tunnel.

Keyop decides to go into the tunnel alone and recapture the microfilm. He finally reaches the underground Spectra headquarters and escapes with the microfilm. But the Meta monster has changed shape again: this time, into a flying Manta Ray. Mark pursues the Manta in the Phoenix and engages it in a fiery battle. Just as the monster is about to win the battle, Mark makes a direct hit on the computer with a neutralizing agent and the Manta Ray machine is frozen. Zoltar once again escapes capture, but his evil creation has been ruined and its remains are turned into a children’s amusement park.
