The Revenge of Cobra, Part 3:
The Palace of Doom

8th of 10 Sunbow episodes before Season 1. Written by Ron Friedman. First aired September 14, 1984.






Previous episode: The Revenge of Cobra, Part 2
Next episode: The Revenge of Cobra, Part 4

Shipwreck and Flint rescue Mutt and weather the sandstorm before continuing their journey. Joe forces led by Cutter and Torpedo, and Cobra forces led by the Baroness arrive at the Island of No Return to battle for the ion correlator. Their fighting is hampered by windstorms and by Zartan's secret efforts to ensure that G.I. Joe and Cobra each receive exactly one fragment of the Weather Dominator. In the end, ownership of the ion correlator will be determined by a one-on-one duel between Spirit and Storm Shadow, which begins here.

As Flint and Mutt return to Joe Headquarters with Shipwreck, the Joes depart for the Palace of Doom to retrieve the hydromaster, which is being sought by Major Bludd. As they fight, Roadblock happens upon a truck convoy and stows away with the trucks' kidnapped owner, Honda Lou West. The Joes' efforts at the palace are complicated by a giant statue coming to life, and further threatened by an earthquake. The ground splits, allowing Maj. Bludd to swoop in and collect the weather fragment, and sending Shipwreck and Gung-Ho tumbling into the crevice.
