The Transium Ore advert!

In The New Adventures of He-Man episode "Cold Freeze" the planet Primus freezes over, prompting Skeletor to contact the heroes offering them a chance to save themselves. The visuals in this scene with Flogg and Slushhead are so ridiculous that you cannot help but smile!

He-Man defeated by Slushhead?!

When I first saw the conclusion to this battle between He-Man and Slushhead from the episode "Sanctuary" I was admittedly quite surprised! What starts off as a fight interrupted by a force of nature ends up with He-Man defeated by Slushhead followed by a dramatic twist that you will probably not see coming...

I'm just tired, Cringer...

Throughout the He-Man series the bond between Prince Adam and his cowardly cat Cringer was addressed by some of the writers. However it was not until season two that Robert Lamb's "Into they Abyss" revealed Cringer to not only be Adam's voice of reason, but also his confidant...

That will be all...

Robert Lamb penned one of the most character-driven episodes of the He-Man series when he wrote "Into the Abyss". This first tense exchange between Prince Adam and Teela underlines the superb writing and great voice acting...

Here's a quick science lesson...

Yes, we all know that He-Man and She-Ra carried a weight a moral lessons across the series, but occasionally you could actually learn something different about the world in which we live. One of the most specific and intricate science lessons to appear in the He-Man series occurs in the season one episode "Temple Of The Sun". To this day I can still spout He-Man's dialogue word for word making it appear that I actually know something!

Timm's Sorceress...

It is incredibly hard not to love what Bruce Timm brought to the Masters of the Universe minicomics. In this wonderful illustration from the classic minicomic "The Search for Keldor" we see his unique way of drawing females that would be a trait in his later work on the Batman cartoon.

Evil Guests...

As I have mentioned before the Ladybird book "She-Ra and the surprise party" features one of the earlier Princess of Power story trends in which everyone is considered good, even Catra. Here is the scene where Catra and Clawdeen arrive at the party, plotting to create a disturbance by taking the presents for themselves! If only Terry Gabbey's style could have been lent to a more creditable story...

Hello, gentlemen!

The season one He-Man episode "A Tale of Two Cities" is unique in the fact that not one familiar location appears in the episode. Also the only two characters we recognize in the episode are He-Man and Battle Cat, and of course their alter egos. I always liked this scene, the first little action scene of the episode with He-Man fighting against the Gargon warriors. The one shot that always makes me chuckle is when He-Man throws one of the Gargons through the air towards the mud and the creature lets out a slightly misplaced over-the-top roar!

Ever think of going into the circus?

I always say that "Three on a Dare" is the season two He-Man episode that feels like a season one episode, and there are many elements that give that impression; none more so than Skeletor's original line up of villains! The action scenes towards the end of the episode are some of the most amusing ever to grace the He-Man series, including this one with He-Man fighting Beast Man, Mer-Man and Trap Jaw...

Your Majesty!

Here is another memorable scene from the season two He-Man episode "The Rainbow Warrior" showcasing the moment when the heroes learn the identity of the mysterious pilot that has saved their lives. Of course one of the best bits of this scene is He-Man's near slip-up!
