	A great feast is held for the men and women of Cobra in [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]]'s dining hall, where they are all served by their captive G.I. Joe chef, [[Roadblock (G.I. Joe)\|Roadblock]]. Megatron, too, joins the banquet, where he partakes of a delicacy specially prepared by his own confectioners: the still-living Joe [[Skidmark (G.I. Joe)\|Skidmark]], who Megatron then eats alive in gruesome commemoration of the day the Earth died. The [[Dreadnok]]s find their stomachs turned by the grisly display and quickly lose their appetites, save for [[Torch (G.I. Joe)\|Torch]], who happily digs in to his meal... only to die a moment later, projectile-vomiting a fountain of blood! Realizing that Roadblock has poisoned their meal, the forces of Cobra charge towards the kitchen, where the burly G.I. Joe is able to hold them off long enough for [[Tunnel Rat]]—still scurrying around in the vents—to bring him an automatic rifle, with which he mows down his attackers. Tunnel Rat and Roadblock escape into [[Trypticon (G1)\|Trypticon]]'s vents and meet up with [[Perceptor (G1)\|Perceptor]]—not the traitor he appeared to be, Tunnel Rat has discovered, but actually an [[Autobot]] double agent. Roadblock is still suspicious, and only becomes moreso when it turns out T-Rat and Perceptor's exfil plan involves the two Joes sealing themselves in body bags so Perceptor can carry them outside for "disposal", but the plan seems to be working until guards [[Scavenger (G1)\|Scavenger]] and [[Hook (G1)\|Hook]] realize that Perceptor is not heading to his lab like he told them he was. His cover blown, Perceptor makes a break for it, and successfully manages to escape [[Trypticon (G1)\|Trypticon]]. Though Earth is no longer visible in the sky, Perceptor tries to reassure the two Joes that is it unscientific to believe something does not exist just because you cannot see it; Roadblock and Tunnel Rat are less optimistic, taking the space debris raining down across Cybertron as proof that their home planet is gone for good.

	Perceptor, Roadblock, and Tunnel Rat are met by a party of other Joes, who lead them to the new [[~~T.H.E. P~~.I.T.\|Pit]] beneath Cybertron's surface where the rest of the Joe team has holed up. Perceptor has also brought the deceased [[Wild Bill]]'s body with him, confusing the Joes, who believe he is still alive, unaware that shapeshifting Cobra spy [[Zartan]] has taken his place. His cover blown, Zartan uses Wild Bill's [[Dragonfly]] helicopter to mow down Joe after Joe, but a well-placed sniper shot from [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)\|Stalker]] permanently ends the threat of the Dreadnok leader. As Generals [[General Flagg\|Flagg]] and [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)\|Hawk]] restore order, Roadblock, Tunnel Rat, and Perceptor reveal that, between the three of them, they have obtained the deactivation code for Trypticon's forcefield.

Joe: A Real American Hero]]'' #1, where the original thirteen G.I. Joes hoist Old Glory atop a mound. Horrorshow and Colonel Breakoff take the places of Stalker and Hawk as the ones lifting the flag, with Blowtorch and Dusty replacing Snake Eyes and Short-Fuze. Steeler and Rock 'n Roll, meanwhile, take the same places as they did in the original, albeit with their more sci-fi Scioli designs instead of their rather drab originals.
	*Torch prefers a "Yank fizzy drink" at the feast rather than wine; the purple bottle marks it as grape soda, the favorite drink of the Dreadnoks in the original Marvel ''G.I.

	Far below the surface of Cybertron, [[Hot Rod\|Rodimus]] and [[Duke (G.I. Joe)\|Duke]]'s team are guided through the mind of [[Primus]] by the [[Keeper (Transformer)\|Keeper]], steward of the sleeping god's dreams.

	The collision with [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] has resulted in the destruction of [[Earth]]. Now Cybertron is all that remains, with [[G.I. Joe (team)\|G.I. Joe]], [[Cobra]], and the [[Oktober Guard]] all that survives of humanity, stranded on the metal world. The Oktober Guard tries to claim Cybertron as "New Transylvania"; [[Blowtorch]] is impressed by the idea, but all it serves to accomplish is to make the Guard targets for the allied "DeceptiCobra" forces, while the Joes take the opportunity to escape.

The Oktober Guard tries to claim Cybertron as "New Transylvania"; [[Blowtorch]] is impressed by the idea, but all it serves to accomplish is to make the Guard targets for the allied "DeceptiCobra" forces, while the Joes take the opportunity to escape.

	A great feast is held for the men and women of Cobra in [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]]'s dining hall, where they are all served by their captive G.I. Joe chef, [[Roadblock (G.I. Joe)\|Roadblock]]. Megatron, too, joins the banquet, where he partakes of a delicacy specially prepared by his own confectioners: the still-living Joe [[Skidmark (G.I. Joe)\|Skidmark]], who Megatron then eats alive in gruesome commemoration of the day the Earth died. The [[Dreadnok]]s find their stomachs turned by the grisly display and quickly lose their appetites, save for [[~~Dreadnok~~\|Torch]], who happily digs in to his meal... only to die a moment later, projectile-vomiting a fountain of blood! Realizing that Roadblock has poisoned their meal, the forces of Cobra charge towards the kitchen, where the burly G.I. Joe is able to hold them off long enough for [[Tunnel Rat]]—still scurrying around in the vents—to bring him an automatic rifle, with which he mows down his attackers. Tunnel Rat and Roadblock escape into [[Trypticon (G1)\|Trypticon]]'s vents and meet up with [[Perceptor (G1)\|Perceptor]]—not the traitor he appeared to be, Tunnel Rat has discovered, but actually an [[Autobot]] double agent. Roadblock is still suspicious, and only becomes moreso when it turns out T-Rat and Perceptor's exfil plan involves the two Joes sealing themselves in body bags so Perceptor can carry them outside for "disposal", but the plan seems to be working until guards [[Scavenger (G1)\|Scavenger]] and [[Hook (G1)\|Hook]] realize that Perceptor is not heading to his lab like he told them he was. His cover blown, Perceptor makes a break for it, and successfully manages to escape [[Trypticon (G1)\|Trypticon]]. Though Earth is no longer visible in the sky, Perceptor tries to reassure the two Joes that is it unscientific to believe something does not exist just because you cannot see it; Roadblock and Tunnel Rat are less optimistic, taking the space debris raining down across Cybertron as proof that their home planet is gone for good.

	Perceptor, Roadblock, and Tunnel Rat are met by a party of other Joes, who lead them to the new [[T.H.E. P.I.T.\|Pit]] beneath Cybertron's surface where the rest of the Joe team has holed up. Perceptor has also brought the deceased [[Wild Bill]]'s body with him, confusing the Joes, who believe he is still alive, unaware that shapeshifting Cobra spy [[Zartan]] has taken his place. His cover blown, Zartan uses Wild Bill's [[Dragonfly]] helicopter to mow down Joe after Joe, but a well-placed sniper shot from [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)\|Stalker]] permanently ends the threat of the Dreadnok leader. As Generals [[General Flagg\|Flagg]] and [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)\|Hawk]] restore order, Roadblock, Tunnel Rat, and Perceptor reveal that, between the three of them, they have obtained the deactivation code for Trypticon's forcefield.

	Atop one of Cybertron's horn-like mega-mountains, the last survivors of Earth do battle: [[Snake-Eyes\|Snake Eyes]] managed to make it onto Cybertron before his homeworld was destroyed, but so did [[Koh-Buru-Lah (creature)\|Koh-Buru-Lah]], carrying [[Cobra Commander]] and his followers within organic sacs on its hideous body. Now, even as one of Koh-Buru-Lah's tentacles tugs at Snake Eyes's ankle, the ninja commando duels with [[Storm Shadow\|Stormshadow]], who Cobra Commander believes has come to join them. While Snake Eyes is occupied fending off the eldritch horror, however, Stormshadow reveals the true reason for his presence: he has come to rescue his pupil [[Billy (G.I. Joe)\|Billy]]—his body ravaged, but still alive—from within the god of Cobra.

	Far below the surface of Cybertron, [[Hot Rod\|Rodimus]] and [[Duke (G.I. Joe)\|Duke]]'s team are guided through the mind of [[Primus]] by the [[Keeper (Transformer)\|Keeper]], steward of the sleeping god's dreams. The Keeper regales them with the tale of Primus's creation: he is the offspring of [[Daiakuron]], a living world sculpted by a race of ancient gestalt beings known as the [[Quintesson\|Makers]], who had in turn bestowed upon their creation the ability to create worlds of its own. The further and further they descend, the more the Transformers and Joes see, and the larger the question looms... what if not just Cybertronians, but also humankind, were creations of Daiakuron? The line between Earthling and Transformer is growing ever blurrier... much like the line between life and death, as, at the bottom of the staircase the heroes descend, they find [[Ultra Magnus (G1)\|Ultra Magnus]], the Autobot God of Death, ferrying the corpse of [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]] across the river to the underworld!
