It's just filler, but adds spirit. It's too bad 5 day stories have time limits. We never saw how Ramar defeated the giant robot. Flesh against metal and blade & mace. How did he do it?
Did anyone miss it when Pyramids aired?

I liked it. It could have been filler but in the minds of young kids it didn't matter. It was fighting!

What are we voting on? The arena of sport? We are officially out of things to poll.
And I also suppose, that's what he said.

I would presume this site has discussed everything.
Best is ones own opinion, but is this the biggest site like TWF2005 was the biggest Transformers site in my eyes?

This is a new one on me. Was there a sidestory animation aired during Pyramids of Darkness? Or are you just talking about one of the times when Cobra captured the Joes and put them in an arena to give them a fighting chance and to give CC more amusement (and to not kill them outright so as to be too violent for kids tv)?

It might be because Duke escaped the first time, and then they used the arena to radio the team. Maybe Cobra got smart... then again they brought in back in the 2 parter Traitor eps.

With Duke in both arena combats, how many more match-ups could Sunbow do before the arena got boring?

I liked the Arena of Sport. I love how Destro and COBRA Commander bicker like an old married couple while fighting Duke and Ramar.
I also much preferred the old school Roman-style arena of "MASS Device" to the technological one from "Revenge of COBRA." |

The Arena sequences show Cobra Commander as a true villain to pit helpless people against villains and each other in a fight "to the finish." At least he gives them a "sporting chance" at life rather than execute them via firing squad or something. This is in keeping with Gladiatorial combat of Ancient Rome, and I like the fact that the Joes always use the arena as their chance to escape. The show wouldn't be as much fun without the Gladiator style fight sequences. |
