			[[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]] is at it again—this time, he and the [[Combaticon (G1)\|Combaticons]] have entered into a partnership with the forces of [[Cobra]], brokering Cybertronian technology and resources to Cobra's [[Baroness]] in exchange for their full cooperation. Months later, during a meeting between the villains in [[France]], the Autobots ambushed both groups; Swindle retreated with what he believed to be the Baroness, unaware that he'd actually fled with [[Chameleon (G.I. Joe)\|Chameleon]], the Baroness's body double. During the fighting, [[Onslaught (G1)\|Onslaught]] shattered [[Bumblebee (G1)\|Bumblebee]]'s body and forced [[Bulkhead (G1)\|Bulkhead]] and [[Minerva (G1 robot)\|Minerva]] into a retreat, taking Bumblebee's critically injured body with them.

	After a days-long pursuit, the pair stumbled across a [[G.I. Joe (team)\|G.I. Joe]] encampment; after the rest of the Combaticons retreated, squad leader [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)\|Stalker]] agreed to help repair Bumblebee, and summoned [[Cover Girl]], [[Mainframe (G.I. Joe)\|Mainframe]], and [[Doc (Carla Greer)\|Doc]] to assist with the repairs.

	In [[France]]'s [[La Grande Dune du Pilat]], [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)\|Stalker]] welcomes three teammates to their temporary field camp, and shows them an unusual transmission gleaned from some fragmentary satellite data: what appears to be the [[Baroness]], riding in a yellow jeep, and holding a conversation with her self-driving vehicle. Stalker then introduces the new recruits to the [[Autobot]]s Minerva and Bulkhead, who've brought the critically wounded Bumblebee in for repairs after a failed ambush. Using spare parts from an [[A.W.E. Striker]], the player characters must repair Bumblebee.		In [[France]]'s [[La Grande Dune du Pilat]], [[Stalker (G.I.

	The task proves difficult--both parties struggle to cooperate with each other, and the inherent difficulty of hybridizing Earth technology with Cybertronian anatomy makes the task even tougher. Eventually, however, the team successfully rebuilds Bumblebee into a new, combat-ready chassis.

	If the villains gain the upper hand, the Autobots are left captured while the three Joes are ransomed back to G.I. Joe as part of a prisoner exchange. Otherwise, however, Fusion is defeated and the heroes gain the edge against Avia and the Techno-Viper [[Outil]] as they try to flee.
