* RaceAgainstTime: Team Voltron has to distract the Robeast long enough so that the Balmerans can get to safety on the Castle of Lions, but short enough so that they're not caught in the Balmera's death backlash. Enough damage happens to the planet so that the Balmerans can't reach the ship, so the team has to defeat Robeast head on.

A Robeast has been deployed on the Balmera and the crew have no idea how to stop it. On top of all that, the Balmera is dying and its citizens need to be evacuated.

** The Robeast's specialty. It has dozens of eyes that can all fire independently targeted lasers. They don't seem to be terribly accurate, but when it fills up the skies with lasers (and the team doesn't want the lasers to hit the geography as well), it's very effective.

* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: Allura insists that Shay communicate and get all the Balmerans to the Castle when she learns their planet is dying. When the planets' collapse leaves dozens of Balmerans stranded and unable to get to the ship, she then performs a ceremony that will at least stabilize the planet and renew it so that the people can stay.

* WorldHealingWave: Allura decides to do massive scale life ritual to save the Balmera. It's obviously not enough to completely restore the Balmera to its former glory, but a wave of new crystals do begin to start forming on the surface.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Allura tries to persuade the Balmerans to leave the planet with her on the ship and with Voltron. At first they refuse, preferring to FaceDeathWithDignity, but she manages to persuade them not to give up since she hasn't done so.

* TemptingFate: Having trouble dealing with the Robeast's laser eyes, Shiro suggests they split up back into lions as it can't target all of them at once. Cue the Robeast revealing its arms are ''covered'' in laser eyes and it ''can'' target all of them at once.
* WaveMotionGun: The Robeast's chest-eye fires a massively powerful beam. Hunk's Bayard also creates a {{BFG}} that fires one, but it's weaker than the Robeast's.

* GoForTheEye: By necessity, considering the Robeast is almost nothing but eyes and those eyes are shooting lasers. Voltron only turns the tide of the battle after hitting every single one of its eyes.

* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: The Robeast is a master of BeamSpam. So Voltron counters with BeamSpam plus HomingLasers.
* {{BFG}}: Hunk's Bayard activates a BFG for Voltron that can fire both a WaveMotionGun and BeamSpam HomingLasers.



* HomingLasers: Voltron's lasers individually target each one of the Robeast's eyes and unerringly hit their target.

to:

* RasputinianDeath: The Robeast is basically defeated when Voltron shoots all of its eyes at once. Then it gets an epic punch for good measure. Turns out it's still NotQuiteDead and only killed when the Balmera "eats" it.
* {{Roboteching}}: Voltron's HomingLasers shoot outward and then swing inward to hit the Robeast.

* BeamSpam: The Robeast's specialty.
* BeamOWar: The team tries to do this with Voltron's shoulder cannon, but the Robeast's beam is just too powerful.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: [[Recap/VoltronLegendaryDefenderS1E03ReturnOfTheGladiator Just as the Red Lion did for Keith]], when the team doesn't know what to do, the Yellow Lion reaches out to Hunk and shows him how to use his Bayard to provide Voltron with a huge shoulder mounted cannon.
