26. Season One, Episode Twenty Six - “The Invisible Robeast”

Doom Log File Title:  “The Invisible Robeast” (Cossack’s Note:  Mogor and the GA were on the same wavelength?  Weird!  Though I’d have called this something snappy like “Out of Sight” if it was up to me.)

Summary:  Doom decides to try the stealth approach to defeating Voltron by creating an invisible robeast to wreak havoc on Arus.  Lotor takes it there to play, and the first thing it does is knock Lance, Allura, Pidge, and Nanny for a loop while they’re out on a carriage ride.  The other pilots show up in the black and yellow lions to bail them out, but the robeast really gives them a run for their money.  When they get back to the castle the green and red lions also go out, but Allura stays behind in the castle.  Once it becomes clear that they’re going to get their asses kicked Allura decides she might be needed and joins them in the blue lion. 

Notable Doom Highlights:  For a second it looks like Nanny might squash Pidge in that crash, but unfortunately we all know that doesn’t happen.  Also, the invisible robeast performed great until Voltron showed up.  The lions alone were no match for it, although once Voltron was on the scene it was curtains for our visibility challenged monster pretty quickly.  Also, you find out during this incident that our robeasts work out and that King Zarkon hates screeching birds.  Helpful tip; now I know not to give him a razor-toothed parakeet for his next birthday.  I can never understand why people have trouble seeing why I don’t like screeching demon-birds.  I have big ears; there, I said it, even blind men can see them.  Now, big ears generally mean great hearing.  Animals with exemplary hearing have large ears.  And yet, no one can apply this to me.  Plus, I sit in a throne room that was designed to have acoustics so that I can hear every conversation in it right on my throne.  Imagine how loud a squawking bird would be to me.  And, yeah, Saoche helped me hate birds for life.  If you knew her, you’d hate them, too.

Notes:  I’d like to know how something you can’t see and that light passes through manages to cast a shadow to give away its presence.  Desert sand and dust clinging to it, water droplets forming mud, yeah, that I can buy.  But something invisible casting a shadow?  I don’t get it.
