Miles soon became one of the youngest generals ever to serve in the armed forces, and supervised numerous classified operations.

	As his investigations of his Cybertronian captive continued apace, Manheim took [[Scarlett]] on a tour of his growing enterprise beneath [[Governor's Island]], where he introduced her to the operatives of his new [[M.A.S.K.\|Mobile Armored Strike Kommand]] and their shape-shifting vehicles perfected by studying Blitzwing's [[Triple Changer]] physiology. Miles wasn't particularly concerned for Blitzwing's well-being, even when Scarlett wondered if his prisoner could feel pain. Believing that the Transformers were behind the recent explosion of [[Mount Olympus]] in [[Greece]], Manheim ordered his team to mobilize in the hopes of catching the Cybertronians unaware when they inevitably returned to "the scene of the crime". The team got the jump on [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Kup]] and [[Aileron]] in a nearby city; behind the wheel of his new [[Switchblade (M.A.S.K.)\|Switchblade]], Miles was able to take out Kup while Aileron made a break for it. When Matt wondered why their targets weren't acting like the unfeeling machines they believed them to be, Miles revealed that the Transformers were living beings—and that M.A.S.K. was at war with these alien lifeforms. {{storylink\|The Divine Source of Liberty}}		As his investigations of his Cybertronian captive continued apace, Manheim took [[Scarlett]] on a tour of his growing enterprise beneath [[Governor's Island]], where he introduced her to the operatives of his new [[M.A.S.K.\|Mobile Armored Strike Kommand]] and their shape-shifting vehicles perfected by studying Blitzwing's [[Triple Changer]] physiology.

	Back on Governor's Island, Mayhem and Trakker continued to debate whether or not the Transformers were truly alive. When [[Action Man]] breached the facility to figure out what was going on, Mayhem told Tracker to trust him the same way his father had, cough, cough, then oversaw the defense of his Cybertronian assets... including quietly instructing his underlings [[Sly Rax]] and [[Vanessa Warfield]] to make sure none of the Joes found out about Kup. Action Man sprang Kup from his restraints and the two made a run for it, blowing Mayhem's secret to the Joes. Mayhem tried to go after Kup in the Switchblade, but broke off after [[Mainframe (G.I. Joe)\|Mainframe]] ran interference by calling down a low-power orbital strike to distract M.A.S.K. {{storylink\|The Modern World}}		Back on Governor's Island, Mayhem and Trakker continued to debate whether or not the Transformers were truly alive.
