Two For The Price Of One Kate and Hawkeye test-drive the new Spacetank on the lunar surface in preparation for an assault on Zelda’s Martian complex. Unusually high solar flare activity is producing a powerful solar wind that provides cover for Spacehawk to approach Mars and land at a safe distance without alerting Zelda. Zero and Dix-Huit join Kate and Hawkeye aboard the Spacetank and they set off across the surface towards Zelda’s base. Meanwhile, Zelda and Yung-Star make preparations for the birth of Cy-Star’s baby in the Delivery Room, but when complications arise, Zelda calls for a crow-bar… Written by Kay Itstein Directed by Tony Lenny First UK Broadcasts:

Child's Play It-Star develops a super derivative of TNT and suggests a plan that will put the explosive to good use. Shortly after, a strange alien device explodes in Badwater County and Colonel Johnson receives a warning of a second, much larger device which will detonate in ten hours. Flying to the location of the second device in Battlehawk, Tiger is puzzled as to Zelda’s motive in planting a bomb in the middle of the desert, but then a sub-terra scan of the area reveals that the TransAmerica Pipeline, which supplies a million cubic feet of gas per hour to half of South and Central America, runs 20 feet below the surface!

Tiger, Mary, Kate and Zero join Hiro and 101 aboard Spacehawk and set a course for the space station to evict the pirate DJs, but It-Star uses his Goybirl voice to send a message that gives the impression that the androids are holding a young girl hostage… Written by Fred Barestein Directed by Tony Lenny Additional Voice Cast:

Runaway After feeding Yung-Star with a special graphite sauce that acts as an undetectable bugging device, It-Star encourages Yung-Star to run away from home. As It-Star explains to Zelda, once Yung-Star arrives on Earth he will soon be captured, handed over to the Terrahawks and taken to Hawknest, enabling them to pinpoint the location of the Terrahawk base. Sure enough, when Yung-Star walks into the Pete’s For Eats diner in Badwater County, the Terrahawks are alerted and arrangements are made to collect the android and ferry him to Hawknest. However, Tiger is suspicious of Yung-Star’s motives and recognises an alternative course of action when he is contacted by a film producer.

Doppelgänger It-Star’s hypnotism experiments succeed in sending Yung-Star into a trance and turning him into a lifeless statue. Soon after, a nightwatchman at the Museum of Antiquities on Earth discovers a statue of Yung-Star in Gallery 4 and the Terrahawks learn of it when the story is published in Mary’s newspaper. Johnson arranges to have the Museum cleared so that Zero and Dix-Huit can scan the statue but they report that it is a completely lifeless inanimate object. Tiger instructs Zero to take the statue out to a safe distance and destroy it, but as the Zeroids detonate explosives which completely obliterate the statue, Zelda and It-Star set the second part of their plan in motion… Written by Albert Zweistein Directed by Tony Lenny Additional Voice Cast:

Space Cyclops When a manned NASA probe is sent to investigate a meteorite in lunar orbit, the meteorite suddenly sprouts tentacles which grasp the probe and drag it down to crash on the lunar surface. Johnson shows Tiger and Kate photos of the crash site which show a large mound of moondust growing amongst the probe wreckage. Suspecting that something has hatched from the meteor and is feeding on the wreckage as it grows, Tiger and Mary journey to the Moon aboard Spacehawk. As they scan the crash area from the MEV, the mound of dust shifts and reveals a hideous one-eyed monster. The MEV experiences a power loss and Tiger and Mary are helpless as the creature closes in… Written by Lita Beerstein Directed by Tony Lenny Additional Voice Cast:

Timewarp Mary has a vivid nightmare in which Hawknest is destroyed by Zelda’s Zeafs. The nightmare has been caused by Lord Tempo’s attempt to transmit a timewarp into the Terrahawks organisation through Spacehawk, with Mary as a carrier to hold the timewarp in her mind until Tempo is ready to unleash it. However, Mary’s mind was too strong and she rejected the timewarp, so Tempo selects a more suitable subject in the form of Sergeant Major Zero. Tiger and Mary are puzzled to discover that there is an eight-second time-lag in Zero’s responses to commands so he is sent to the Zeroid Sick Bay for a check-up, Meanwhile, Zelda launches her entire fleet in preparation for battle and as the fleet nears Earth Zelda tells Tempo to unleash the timewarp… Written by Major Daystein Directed by Tony Bell Additional Voice Cast:
