	==Synopsis==		==Synopsis==
	In the late 1970s, [[Joe Colton\|Joseph Colton]] leads the [[~~Adventure Team (G.I. Joe)\|~~Adventure Team]] through the [[Himalayas\|Himalayan mountains]]. The three come under attack from the airborne forces of [[Mihai\|General Mihai]]; luckily, one of the Adventure Team is more than man—he's some kind of [[Atomic Man]]. The attacking jets are ready to see if their missiles would be more effective, but one is taken down by a strange, organic yellow mass. The pilot of the other jet is pulled from his aircraft by a [[Nemesis Enforcer\|savage, winged humanoid]]. From cover, Adventure Team's guide, [[Chok-Pa]], recognizes their saviors as not friends, but the dreaded men under the mountain—[[Cobra-La\|Kohbrala]]. They try to escape, but it's too late, for [[Bludgeon (G1)\|Bludgeon]] has already found the tasty Adventure Team. Atomic Man tries to fight against the giant zombie samurai, but the Atomic Punch doesn't stop Bludgeon from cutting the Atomic Man's life away. Joe Colton and Chok-Pa are only saved by [[Pythona]]'s wish to keep the two captive. And so the original [[G.I. Joe (team)\|G.I. Joe]] goes missing in action.

	Decades later, in [[Denver]], [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)\|Hawk]] violently awakens from dreams haunted by images caused by his contact with the [[Matrix of Leadership\|Matrix]]. Turning on the TV, he sees a conveniently-timed news broadcast that recaps how Hawk was forced to resign from G.I. Joe after technology from the [[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers\|attack on Washington]] was found being [[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers: The Art of War\|exploited in secret]] by the Government in [[Area 52 (G1)\|Area 52]].

	Later, after Hawk has dressed, he begins an interview with [[Allen\|Ms. Allen]], the reporter who he was on TV earlier in the morning. But while attempting to explain to her that his claims of alien technology on [[Earth]] are honest, Hawk receives a telepathic message from [[Skids (G1)\|Skids]]. Cutting his interview short, Hawk goes outside, where Ms. Allen watches him get beamed up into [[Cosmos (G1)\|a green UFO]].

	In the late 1970s, [[Joe Colton\|Joseph Colton]] leads the [[~~Adventure Team (G.I. Joe)\|~~Adventure Team]] through the [[Himalayas\|Himalayan mountains]]. The three come under attack from the airborne forces of [[Mihai\|General Mihai]]; luckily, one of the Adventure Team is more than man—he's some kind of [[Atomic Man]]. The attacking jets are ready to see if their missiles would be more effective, but one is taken down by a strange, organic yellow mass. The pilot of the other jet is pulled from his aircraft by a [[Nemesis Enforcer\|savage, winged humanoid]]. From cover, Adventure Team's guide, [[Chok-Pa]], recognizes their saviors as not friends, but the dreaded men under the mountain—[[Cobra-La\|Kohbrala]]. They try to escape, but it's too late, for [[Bludgeon (G1)\|Bludgeon]] has already found the tasty Adventure Team. Atomic Man tries to fight against the giant zombie samurai, but the Atomic Punch doesn't stop Bludgeon from cutting the Atomic Man's life away. Joe Colton and Chok-Pa are only saved by [[Pythona]]'s wish to keep the two captive. And so the original [[G.I. Joe (team)\|G.I. Joe]] goes missing in action.

	Decades later, in [[Denver]], [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)\|Hawk]] violently awakens from dreams haunted by images caused by his contact with the [[Matrix of Leadership\|Matrix]]. Turning on the TV, he sees a conveniently-timed news broadcast that recaps how Hawk was forced to resign from G.I. Joe after technology from the [[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers\|attack on Washington]] was found being [[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers: The Art of War\|exploited in secret]] by the Government in [[Area 52 (G1)\|Area 52]].

	Later, after Hawk has dressed, he begins an interview with [[Allen\|Ms. Allen]], the reporter who he was on TV earlier in the morning. But while attempting to explain to her that his claims of alien technology on [[Earth]] are honest, Hawk receives a telepathic message from [[Skids (G1)\|Skids]]. Cutting his interview short, Hawk goes outside, where Ms. Allen watches him get beamed up into [[Cosmos (G1)\|a green UFO]].

	*The 1970s ''[[~~Adventure Team (G.I. Joe)\|~~Adventure Team]]'' line was an often-forgotten era of the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)\|G.I.
