The Oktober Guard ambushed G.I. Joe's "non-human personnel" unit U.S.7 when they were on a supply run to the metal planet of Cybertron as it drew closer to Earth. Boarding chutes in their spaceship bored their way into U.S.7's craft, and a battle broke out between the two groups, but it lasted only a few moments before the gigantic Fortress Maximus reached up from the surface of Cybertron, grabbed the ship, and dumped all the guardsmen and Joe animals down his throat.

Notes
[edit]- The Oktober Guard are long-standing figures in G.I. Joe history, having appeared in the original Marvel comic and animated series. Conceived as the Soviet counterpart to G.I. Joe and named after the October Revolution, they were a military team comprising characters from various Communist bloc countries. While most of their appearances in Transformers fiction have stayed true to that, the Transformers vs. G.I. Joe comic described above completely reinterpreted them as horror/Halloween-themed (October, get it?) and filled their roster with mostly renamed or brand-new characters.
