	So Grimlock attacked Megatron once again, biting off his [[fusion cannon]] and moving their battle into a natural-gas storage area. Meanwhile, Blades had delivered Wild Bill to Flint, who ordered [[Skystriker (~~vehicle~~)\|Skystriker]] jets sent in to launch missiles at the natural-gas tanks, hoping the massive explosion would destroy Megatron for good. Blades worried that Grimlock would perish as well, but Flint thought his life was worth it for the thousands who would be spared Megatron's rampage. Wild Bill was outraged at Flint, since he had seen the one-life-for-many logic applied in combat in south-east Asia, and he didn't want to be party to it again. He was prepared to help Blades airlift Grimlock out before the Skystrikers launched their missiles, despite both the danger to themselves and the danger that Megatron would be able to follow them to safety. Before they could go, though, Centurion (who had been holding back from the battle the whole time out of fear of Megatron) offered to sacrifice himself instead. Blades dropped him into the fight, picked up Grimlock, and got away as the Sky Strikers approached. Centurion successfully kept Megatron in the midst of the giant gas tanks, grinning as he watched the missile barrage descend.

	Blades and the Action Force agents watched in awe as a tremendous explosion consumed the combatants, followed by what seemed to be a pair of fiery figures plunging into the Thames. Wild Bill wondered if that could have been Megatron and Centurion, but Flint declared that nothing could have survived the heat. Blades ruminated on Centurion's motivation, suggesting that Centurion saw himself as an ancient relic who was only a detriment to the Autobots and would be better off giving his life in a literal blaze of glory. Flint thought that Centurion was less an "ancient relic" and more an "old soldier", and he and Blades gave a salute to Centurion's sacrifice. {{storylink\|Ancient Relics!}}		Blades and the Action Force agents watched in awe as a tremendous explosion consumed the combatants, followed by what seemed to be a pair of fiery figures plunging into the Thames.

	So Grimlock attacked Megatron once again, biting off his [[fusion cannon]] and moving their battle into a natural-gas storage area. Meanwhile, Blades had delivered Wild Bill to Flint, who ordered [[Skystriker (~~vehicle~~)\|Skystriker]] jets sent in to launch missiles at the natural-gas tanks, hoping the massive explosion would destroy Megatron for good. Blades worried that Grimlock would perish as well, but Flint thought his life was worth it for the thousands who would be spared Megatron's rampage. Wild Bill was outraged at Flint, since he had seen the one-life-for-many logic applied in combat in south-east Asia, and he didn't want to be party to it again. He was prepared to help Blades airlift Grimlock out before the Skystrikers launched their missiles, despite both the danger to themselves and the danger that Megatron would be able to follow them to safety. Before they could go, though, Centurion (who had been holding back from the battle the whole time out of fear of Megatron) offered to sacrifice himself instead. Blades dropped him into the fight, picked up Grimlock, and got away as the Sky Strikers approached. Centurion successfully kept Megatron in the midst of the giant gas tanks, grinning as he watched the missile barrage descend.

	Blades and the Action Force agents watched in awe as a tremendous explosion consumed the combatants, followed by what seemed to be a pair of fiery figures plunging into the Thames. Wild Bill wondered if that could have been Megatron and Centurion, but Flint declared that nothing could have survived the heat. Blades ruminated on Centurion's motivation, suggesting that Centurion saw himself as an ancient relic who was only a detriment to the Autobots and would be better off giving his life in a literal blaze of glory. Flint thought that Centurion was less an "ancient relic" and more an "old soldier", and he and Blades gave a salute to Centurion's sacrifice. {{storylink\|Ancient Relics!}}		Blades and the Action Force agents watched in awe as a tremendous explosion consumed the combatants, followed by what seemed to be a pair of fiery figures plunging into the Thames.

	When an archaeological team stumbled upon a damaged, berserking [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Megatron]] [[Straxus (G1)\|clone]] in Roman sewers beneath London, Action Force was called in to investigate. Flint, [[Scarlett]], [[Bazooka (G.I. Joe)\|Bazooka]], [[Barbecue]], and [[Airtight]] ventured underground with [[Susan Hoffman]], the archaeological team's sole survivor. Scarlett thought they were on a wild goose chase, but she changed her mind when the squad saw [[Blades (G1)\|Blades]], who was wandering the tunnels with the same purpose. Hoffman mistook him for Megatron, and the soldiers attacked. Blades blinded them with his photon pistol, but Scarlett kept firing her rifle, and Blades nearly crushed her in rage. However, he stopped himself and declared his duty to protect life, which Flint angrily questioned.

	Just as Hoffman realised that Blades wasn't the one who had attacked her group, the Megatron clone shot Blades from the shadows. The humans fled back to the surface, emerging face-to-face with [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Grimlock]] and [[Centurion (Marvel)\|Centurion]] in an industrial dockside area on the [[Thames\|River Thames]]. Flint was initially worried that they had simply traded one threat for another, but when Megatron erupted from the ground and tackled Grimlock, the humans realised they had a chance to escape.

	From a safer distance, Flint called in [[Dragonfly]] helicopters and [[Mauler]] tanks to target Megatron. When the helicopters fired at him, Megatron blew the rotors off of [[Wild Bill]]'s copter, but Blades was able to save the pilot in midair. Flint, not realising that Wild Bill had survived, angrily ordered [[Heavy Metal (G.I. Joe)\|Heavy Metal]] to roll his tanks into action. Megatron had been trouncing Grimlock and was just about to execute him when the Maulers blasted the Decepticon. But this only redirected Megatron's rage, and he tore the tanks apart. Flint berated himself for acting rashly, as the attack had done virtually no harm to Megatron while risking Action Force soldiers' lives. But he didn't realize the effect it had had on Grimlock, who was reflecting on how there had been a time when he would have gladly left the humans to die, but Action Force's courage against this unstoppable foe was making him reconsider. After all, they had just saved Grimlock's life.		From a safer distance, Flint called in [[Dragonfly]] helicopters and [[Mauler]] tanks to target Megatron.
