During a forest battle with the Decepticons, Beachcomber and Thrust become separated from the other Autobots. Stumbling upon a hidden lagoon, Beachcomber discovers a pool containing a large supply of Electum, which when applied to one's body renders that person invulnerable. Alas, the Decepticons also locate the pool, then coat themselves with Electum as part of a master plan to destroy the Autobots without any damage to themselves. The climax finds the Autobots and the Decepticons liberally covered with Electum -- while Beachcomber despairs over the damage and destruction that he has inadvertently brought upon the peaceful forest. Written by Dennis Marks, this aggressively pro-ecological Transformers episode first aired in America on November 4, 1985. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

After years of living in peace, the Tortoids and the Lizard Men go to war over possession of a silver sphere. Hoping to end the conflict peacefully, Aquaman offers to enter an athletic competition to decide which of the two races will win possession of the sphere for one year. Alas, Aquaman's good intentions are scuttled by the Black Manta, who, evidently emulating Marlon Brando in The Wild One, steals the sphere and runs off to parts unknown! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The supervillain-of-the-week is The Brain, who kidnaps Aqualad for more mental mischief. In what seems like record time, the enslaved Aqualad is not only brainwashed, but he is also endowed with superstrength, transforming him into the perfect weapon against Aquaman. Only after several awkward confrontations with his confused mentor does Aqualad regain his memory and rejoin the good-guy team, thereby affording Aquaman ample time to work out a strategy to outsmart the Brain and save the day again! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

It's a dark day for the Atlanteans when those three formidable villains The Brain, the Black Manta and Queen Vassa combine their powers and weaponry. In an effort to nullify the Aqua-duo, the Brain entraps Aquaman in a pillar of salt, while Black Manta and Vassa prepare a full frontal assault on Atlantis. But with the help of trusty Tusky, Aqualad is able to keep the bad guys (and that bad girl) at bay long enough for Aquaman to free himself. Leapin' lampreys! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

On a secret government assignment, Aqualad and Tusky pay a visit to the all-water world Planet Q344. Soon the pair find themselves embroiled in the never-ending war between the froglike Bimphars and the fishlike Quatix. One thing leads to another, and by episode's end Aqualad is leading the Bimphars against the Quatix--who are being commandeered by none other than Aquaman (where's a good mediator when we need one?) And oh yes, there's also a giant squid in the midst of the fray. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The Brain returns, this time equipped with a gigantic computer (they were ALWAYS gigantic in the 1960s!) which gives him access to all known facts about Aquaman. Using the information at hand, the Brain figures that the best way to vanquish the "Sea King" is to use an Oxymite buoyancy ray, which causes everything on the ocean floor that isn't nailed down to float upward--including Aqualad and Tusky. To save his friends from certain death at the ocean's surface, Aquaman enlists the aid of an enormous "cyclops" fish. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Ever the good Samaritans, Aquaman and Aqualad lend a helping hand to the downtrodden victim of an evil--and unidentified--villain. Imagine the good guys' surprise when the "victim" turns out to be the villain in disguise: namely, an ancient Sea Sorcerer with awesome spellbinding powers. Using his crystal ball, the Sorceror conjures up such obstacles as a sandstorm and a dragon as the Aqua-Duo try to subdue him. Luckily, Imp and Tusky are able to summon assistance and prevent Aquaman from becoming the Sorceror's permanent slave! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The Brain is back, and if anything he's nastier than ever. This time out, the Brain has teamed up with Reflecto from the planet Imago for the purpose of creating an Aquaman clone. Their master plan is to replace the orginal with the duplicate, then conquer Atalantis. At first, the ever-trusting Aqualad doesn't realize that the Aquaman lookalike is a phony, but the evil doppelganger soon reveals his true nature--just in time to be vanquished by the genuine "Sea King." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This time Aquaman is pitted against the evil (if slightly myopic) Molemen, who invade Atlantis in vessels with diamond-tipped drills. The villains bore a hole in the ocean floor which threatens do destroy not only Atlantis but also everything on dry land. Making matters worse, Aquaman is captured, and Aqualad is unable to race to his rescue. But fear not! Imp, Tusky and a huge army of friendly underwater creatures are still at Aquaman's telepathic beck and call. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Solar-powered space aliens invade the earth, setting the planet's oceans on fire! The evil interlopers then barrage Atlantis with wave upon wave of flaming missiles. With Aqualad injured and out of commisison, it is up to Aquaman to save Atlantis and send the aliens back where they came from. Of course, the "Sea King" is aided and abetted by his many underwater friends, including an army of arthropods and dolphins who prove to be excellent volunteer firemen. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
