Teknoman

This is the international opening of the Teknoman show.

The Earth is invaded by hordes of monstrous Spidercrabs under the control of the Venomoid warlord, Darkon. His first target is the Space-Ring, a huge orbital space station surrounding the Earth. Suddenly, an armored figure appears -- the Teknoman, Blade -- who attempts to stop the attack, but is confronted by Daggar, one of the mutant Teknomen under Darkon's control. In the ensuing battle, Blade is badly wounded and sent plummeting toward the planet below, where his explosive impact creates a gigantic crater. The Space Knights, Ringo and Star, are sent to investigate and are amazed when the injured Blade emerges from the crater. They take him back to their base and nurse him back to health. They have no clue as to Blade's identity or where he came from, and neither does Blade, who can remember only two things: his name is Blade and he must stop the aliens from conquering Earth.

The "Blue Earth" is damaged and is forced to make an emergency landing on the Space-Ring. Ringo questions Blade about his ability to transform, but Blade claims he still can't remember anything. Ringo suspects Blade is hiding something and is determined to find out what.

In an attempt to place Blade under his command, General Galt orders an armed take-over of the Space Knight Command Center. But his plan is foiled by the intervention of the President of the Terran Planetary Council. Meanwhile, a section of the Space-Ring has become detached from the station and is falling toward Earth.

This is a recap of the series up to this point, told from Star's point-of-view. An unidentifiable, hooded figure picks up an audio-computer chip from the deserted area near the demolished Space Knight Command Center. When the hooded figure opens the chip's casing, the voice of Commander Jamison narrates the story of ""The efforts of the Space Knights on behalf of the planet Earth, including those of Ness Carter, better known as the Teknoman, Blade.""

In a Middle Eastern village, a young boy named Rashid mistakes Ringo (in his Tekno-suit) for the mythical Red Savior. According to legend, the Red Savior will protect the residents from the alien invaders. When Axe and the other evil Teknoman show up, Ringo's best just isn't enough.

Just as the batteries of the ""Green Earth"" (The SPACE KNIGHTS' surface vehicle) are in need of recharging, the group finds a town that has a generator. Fearing that use of the generator will result in discovery by the Venomoids, the townspeople refuse to help the Space Knights. In spite of the town's precautions, the Venomoids attack.
