Operation Dragonfire: Day 49th of 10 episodes between the regular seasons of the Sunbow and DiC series. Written by Doug Booth. First aired September 7, 1989.Preceded by: Operation Dragonfire: Day 3 Next episode: Operation Dragonfire: Day 5 |
Cobra chases the Joes out of the Lost City, but in the jungle the ape warriors revert to normal monkeys. Gnawgahyde steals a parked Joe Conquest, and Scoop is freed in the resulting chaos. With Low-Light in pursuit, Scoop returns to Cobra in hope of learning their plans. Cobra Commander uses the Lost City's Dragonfire to "Pythonize" stolen Conquests and various troops, creating the Python Patrol, with Copperhead in command. As the Joes return to Headquarters, Cobra Commander makes an alliance with Destro against Serpentor. When Serpentor arrives at the Lost City, he is captured by Scoop (despite a momentary betrayal by Copperhead), and the Commander uses Dragonfire to transform Serpentor into an iguana-like creature.
Destro joins Cobra Commander and his new Python Patrol, and the two load up an airship to attack Sorcerer's Mesa, the last Dragonfire location. The Commander asks Scoop to provide inside information on the Joe base there, as Alley Viper attacks Low-Light and drops him from the airship as it lifts off.
