*Among G. I.

This speculation is fueled in part because of the fact that many early Joe vehicles; such as the [[Dragonfly]], [[Skystriker]], and [[Tomahawk (G.I.

Attacked!

When Megatron ('s clone) tore through the London docklands, Bazooka called in the Maulers to back up Action Force and the Autobots. When the Dragonflies proved useless, Flint ordered the Maulers to engage Megatron...which only made the robot mad. The entire squadron was smashed to bits. Ancient Relics!
