[edit] Summary

Hordak abducts innocent townspeople for use with his new invention, creating Dragstor, half-man, half-machine. His purpose is to multiply the Horde's numbers through this manner. Prince Adam and Extendar are watching a sports competition. Hordak and his new creation turn up. Extendar is impressed by Dragstor's abilities. Hordak promises him similar power if he comes with him. Tempted to be respected amongst the heroes, Extendar agrees. He-Man rushes to the Fright Zone ... but he's too late, and Hordak has already finished his experiment with Extendar, giving him extendable arms and legs. Extendar now can transform into an extendable version of himself with the words, "I am Extendar, Tower of Power!". And he too has been robbed of his free will, so Hordak uses him to attack He-Man. He-Man battles with Extendar until he makes him realize that he should fight the Horde, and not him.A deep look from He-Man in his eyes breaks Hordak's 'spell'. After crashing Dragstor, He-Man destroys the invention, so Hordak can never make any more of his "creations." Extendar decides to use his power for good.

[edit] Notes

• Though Dragstor is shown to have lost his free will, he later behaves rebellious and questions Hordak in Enter: Buzz-Saw Hordak!.

• The minicomic "Snake Attack!" occurs shortly after this one, since in "Snake Attack" Extendar is introduced to King Randor and Queen Marlena.
