TAKE the CHALLENGE! A terrific group of He-Man fans have taken the challenge to watch all 130 Episodes of the 1983 Filmation Cartoon Series “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe“ for 130 days straight, one episode per day.

I have never really liked this episode, and is probably one of the ones I’ve only watched start to finish a couple of times. Additional Trollans usually aren’t a good sign, and it doesn’t help that we don’t get a transformation. I will say that I’m impressed by the animation- a lot of new He-Man animations and brand new background characters, it’s a shame they really started making strides in this area late in the series.
The only reason I can remember The Slavemaster is because he reminds me of the Filmation Ghostbusters villain, not for anything he actually does in the episode. The goofy borderline dumb robot sidekick has his moments though.
