Megatron and Cobra Commander make a deal.

Synopsis

The doctor may be the only being in the universe to be unimpressed when Megatron fires a plasma blast at her.
What color do you paint a Transformer with a hypervelocity rail gun? Any color he wants.

Megatron, whose body is visibly in terrible condition, is insulted by Cobra Commander's proposed deal, and is attacking Cobra's shapeshifting Silent Castle. The human counterattack is ineffective until Doctor Biggles-Jones manages to hit Megatron with a hyper-velocity rail gun of her own design. Megatron is impressed by the fact that, even after ripping a hole straight through him, the round still achieves escape velocity. He reopens negotiations. The deal is, Cobra gets the technology of the Ark, and in return, they rebuild his body, including the rail gun.


While the work is in progress, Zarana proposes they just keep on disassembling Megatron to learn his secrets. Cobra Commander says he wants to stick to the deal, for the time being. Megatron, with his new upgraded sensors, overhears this, and smirks.

Later, we witness a test of a purple-and-green tank against a trio of Cobra HISS tanks. The oddly-colored tank destroys them with no difficulty, and then transforms into Megatron, in his new Generation 2 body.

Several of the ongoing G.I. Joe plots are also visited in this issue, but are not relevant to the Transformers-related storyline.



Let's see what you can see...

This article is in need of images.

Specifics: The opening splash page showing Megs firing on the castle would be cool.
