Megatron wants Doctor Biggles-Jones... at least, the head part of her.
Synopsis
In the brainwashed town of Milleville, Megatron is beginning to find Cobra Commander bothersome, and transforms back to robot mode. He calmly informs Cobra Commander that he's got a bit of a security problem in his sewers, then calls down the Ark. As Cobra Commander berates him, Megatron reveals the true nature of their deal. It's not just Cybertronian technology in exchange for a new body and some Cobra tech; Megatron also gets to keep Doctor Sidney Biggles-Jones, the inventor of his new hypervelocity rail gun.
As Megatron gets some equipment from the Ark, he mentions that he intends to pack the doctor in liquid hydrogen for the trip back to Cybertron. Zarana asks him to explain further, and he reveals that he doesn't bother freezing the entire organism, just the brain and central nervous system. He's got a protoplasm stripper prepared for just such a purpose.
During all this, G.I. Joe is invading Milleville in force, with some success, but eventually is forced to pull back.
Doctor Biggles-Jones is sharing revelations with the hospitalized Scarlett when Megatron reaches through the window and snatches the doctor up. He attempts to stuff her into the protoplasm stripper. Scarlett leaves her hospital bed, and confronts Megatron with a sword, telling him to put her down. "Right now!"

Notes
- The cover title of the series for this issue is G.I. Joe Starring Snake-Eyes and Transformers: Generation 2. However, the title in the indicia (and hence the legal title) is G.I. Joe A Real American Hero.
- Biggles-Jones explains "the whole truth" to Scarlett. While they never get round to revealing it to the readers, the implication is that she's the Department of Defence's spy in Cobra.
Errors
- On page 1, Tunnel Rat is observing Megatron through binoculars. Since Megatron has changed every part of his body but his head, Tunnel Rat doesn't recognize him, and says, "I see [...] a large Decepticon — one I've never seen before!" The problem is that, last issue, Tunnel Rat observed Megatron, passed a message to Hawk, who passed it to Mainframe, who sent it to Bumblebee, who explicitly told Optimus Prime that Megatron is on Earth. So, either A) Tunnel Rat described Megatron's head in enough detail that one of the other people in the communications chain was able to ID him, or B) this is a continuity error.
- In one panel, Dice refers to Slice as Dice and Dr. Mindbender calls Dice Slice.
- When Zarana wonders what Megatron meant by the "liquid hydrogen" crack, Megatron hears and responds to her from inside the Ark, which is clearly hundreds of yards away (given its size). With his upgraded sensors, yah, he could probably hear her, but he'd have to really yell to respond, and there's no indication he's talking loudly.
- Hawk says "the big high muckey-mucks have finally seen fit" to tell G.I. Joe that an intelligence agency has a mole in Cobra. You were talking about it last issue, Hawk! It was how you knew about Cobra being in the town!
- The cover says that this issue is, "Continuing the greatest Joes action saga of all time!" Not by a very long shot, bub.
