Fiction
G.I. Joe and the Transformers
When Cobra stole Power Station Alpha, Ace and the other G.I. Joe pilots chased after it and attacked its Rattler escort. Although the battle went in the Joes' favor, the enemy got away by holding a nearby cruise ship hostage. Power Struggle
Not long afterwards, the Decepticons stole the power station, forcing Ace to join up with the airborne Cobra and Autobot forces for a preemptive attack on the Decepticon headquarters. He chose to stay out of the way of Superion and Devastator's duel, and eventually went home when Power Station Alpha was destroyed. ...All Fall Down!
G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers
Ace's squad took to the air when a peace summit in Washington, D.C. came under attack from Cobra fighter jets. The speed and maneuverability of the Cobra Rattlers took Ace by surprise, but that was nothing compared to the shock of seeing one of them suddenly turn into a giant robot. Ace barely had time to eject before his plane was punched clear out of the sky, although the experience made him consider an early retirement. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #1
Transformers vs. G.I. Joe
Ace was part of a G.I. Joe strike force that stormed a Cobra hideout housing deadly Creeper bombs, joining the fight aboard his Skystriker when Cobra Commander attempted to flee in a Rattler. The mission ran into some complications when the Transformers Bumblebee and Starscream became involved. Nonetheless, Ace and fellow Joe Wild Bill managed to deliver the payloads that destroyed Cobra Commander's plane, signaling a victory for the Joes. The Golden Boys Ace was deployed to defend T.H.E. P.I.T. when Optimus Prime came bearing down from space, but was forced to bail out when Prime sliced his jet in half. Everybody Hates Metroplex
