G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (1983)

S01E18 Satellite Down

Cobra employs a tractor beam to snatch a spy satellite the Joes recently launched into orbit. Breaker intervenes by forcing the satellite to crash-land deep in the African jungle. However, a tribe of primitive hominids known as the Primords now roams the crash site, throwing both Joe and Cobra retrieval missions into chaos as they clash over the downed technology.
