	Flying above the surface of [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] aboard the starship ''[[Defiant (G.I.

The terraforming tactics are observed by [[Autobot]]s [[Perceptor (G1)\|Perceptor]], [[Wheeljack (G1)\|Wheeljack]], [[Brawn (G1)\|Brawn]], and [[Mirage (G1)\|Mirage]], who deduce that the invading humans are unaware that Iacon is an abandoned ruin, and lament the absence of the long-missing [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]]. Perceptor tries to examine some of the creeper material under his scope, but it suddenly begins to grow, forcing Brawn to blast it.

Perceptor tries to examine some of the creeper material under his scope, but it suddenly begins to grow, forcing Brawn to blast it.

	The [[G.I. Joe (franchise)\|G.I. Joe]] team spots a new target: [[Trypticon (G1)\|Trypticon]], a gigantic, animate city in the form of a dinosaur. Over the objections of [[Psych Out]], who is appalled at their contamination of an alien world with organic life from [[Earth]], they drop a load of creeper bombs on the saurian city, only to find that it is protected by a force field. A fleet of [[Decepticon]]s led by [[Cyclonus (G1)\|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)\|Scourge]] erupt from Trypticon's mouth to pursue the Joes' ship; down below, the four Autobots believe ''they'' are the villains' targets since they are out past curfew, but they realize they haven't even been noticed when the [[Constructicon (G1)\|Constructicons]] appear on the road ahead and completely ignore them, merging into [[Devastator (G1)\|Devastator]] and taking off into the skies. The ''Defiant'' splits into its two modules, but Devastator tears into one, sending it falling out of the sky in a blaze. As the Joes bail out, Scarlett lands her [[RAM]] on the barrel of Devastator's gun and rides it up his arm and off his shoulder, landing safely in the [[Tomahawk (G.I. Joe)\|Tomahawk]] helicopter—all while delivering a status update to [[General Flagg]]. The shuttle section of the ''Defiant'' meets a similar fate, and goes up in flames under a barrage of Decepticon fire, but pilot [[Wild Bill]]—in defiance of Scarlett's order to abandon ship—steers the flaming craft into Devastator, blowing the [[combiner\|gestalt]] into his components. Joes [[Breaker]], [[Clutch (G.I. Joe)\|Clutch]], [[Cover Girl]] and [[Jinx]] land their vehicles safely on parachutes and try to "merge with local traffic", unaware that what they think are native vehicles are, in fact, the four Autobots that have been watching the proceedings. This brings the Autobots to the Decepticons' attention, and they activate a trap hidden within the roadway, which begins to close around the fleeing 'bots and Joes. Wheeljack, Mirage and the Joes are able to squeeze through before the rising walls close, but Brawn and Perceptor are captured. The Joes fail to make a getaway, however, as they are snatched up by the bounty-hunting [[Insecticon (G1)\|Insecticons]].		The [[G.I. Joe (franchise)\|G.I.

The Joes fail to make a getaway, however, as they are snatched up by the bounty-hunting [[Insecticon (G1)\|Insecticons]].

	A short time later, in the throne room within Trypticon, Cyclonus and Scourge present the shackled Brawn and Perceptor to their god-king [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]]... only for a furious Megatron to slay Scourge. Autobots, he angrily proclaims, are a race long defeated and far beneath his notice—it is the invading humans that he wants. As luck would have it, the Insecticons choose this moment to arrive, bringing the objects of Megatron's desire with them. When the Decepticon emperor unwraps Clutch from the bindings the Insecticons have placed him and the other Joes in, the human opens fire on him, prompting cacophonous laughter as the bullets ping off his armor. Suddenly, Optimus Prime himself appears in the middle of the throne room, but when Megatron hurls himself at his ancient enemy, he discovers that it is merely a hologram: Mirage has deceived him and freed the captured 'bots, who now beat a hasty retreat from Trypticon with the Joes in their custody.

	The [[G.I. Joe (franchise)\|G.I. Joe]] team spots a new target: [[Trypticon (G1)\|Trypticon]], a gigantic, animate city in the form of a dinosaur. Over the objections of [[~~Psyche-~~Out]], who is appalled at their contamination of an alien world with organic life from [[Earth]], they drop a load of creeper bombs on the saurian city, only to find that it is protected by a forcefield. A fleet of [[Decepticon]]s led by [[Cyclonus (G1)\|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)\|Scourge]] erupt from Trypticon's mouth to pursue the Joes' ship; down below, the four Autobots believe ''they'' are the villains' targets since they are out past curfew, but they realize they haven't even been noticed when the [[Constructicon (G1)\|Constructicons]] appear on the road ahead and completely ignore them, merging into [[Devastator (G1)\|Devastator]] and taking off into the skies. The ''Defiant'' splits into its two modules, but Devastator tears into one, sending it falling out of the sky in a blaze. As the Joes bail out, Scarlett lands her [[RAM]] on the barrel of Devastator's gun and rides it up his arm and off his shoulder, landing safely in the [[Tomahawk (G.I.

The shuttle section of the ''Defiant'' meets a similar fate, and goes up in flames under a barrage of Decepticon fire, but pilot [[Wild Bill]]—in defiance of Scarlett's order to abandon ship—steers the flaming craft into Devastator, blowing the [[combiner\|gestalt]] into his components. Joes [[Breaker]], [[Clutch (G.I.

This brings the Autobots to the Decepticons' attention, and they activate a trap hidden within the roadway, which begins to close around the fleeing 'bots and Joes.
