Golobulus: Behold the culmination of centuries! The ultimate fruit of hypergenetic manipulation, a weapon which no enemy can withstand. In several hours, these marvelous fungisoids will mature and launch hundreds of giant pods into orbit. The pods will bear spores, and those spores will degenerate all organisms they touch, mutating them into mindless incompetent lifeforms. Pythona: [superimpose Pythona's face over the viewscreen] When the pods ripen, they will burst... [the B.E.T. lights up the mutegen pods and they start exploding. The spores fall quickly forming into a mushroom cloud] Pythona: and shower the earth with enough spores to reduce the entire human race to the level of mindless beasts. [We then see a visual of a man getting hit in the back of his head with the mutegen spores. As the mutegen spores touch down on him and turn him into a hideous snake beast, he appears in view and looks at the camera after being hit by the spores. His clothes are tattered by the affects of the mutegen spores as he covers his face and roars and develops snake scales that run up one side of his body, across his face and neck, and down the other side of his body and the whites of his eyes turn yellow and develop cylindrical pupils. We then see steam after the spores touch down blocking out the moonlight] Golobulus: Only those beneath the protection of Cobra-La's icedome will be spared. But the pods will not ripen in the freezing outer space without energy. And that is why I must have... Serpentor: The Broadcast Energy Transmitter. Of course. Cobra Commander: Fool! You haven't got the B.E.T.! You don't even know where it is! Your plan is laughable! Golobulus: But your punishment will not be. Cobra Commander: Punishment? What about my trial? Golobulus: It's over!... and the verdict is guilty... guilty of the one unforgiveable crime... Failure!
