Synopsis
In the Fera islands, the survivors of the first GI Joe unit, sans Snake-Eyes, consider the dormant Autobots they've found. Right when Roadblock diagnoses them as inoperative, a a sallatie launches and starts to scan new alternate modes, while the Autobot's self repaint systems initiates. Ironhide awakens and Leatherneck opens fire, completely ineffectually.
Away, Stormshadow assaults Snake-Eye. Stormshadow manages to severely scar Snake-Eye's face, but Stalker shows up to force Stormshadow to retreat. Rather than return to Scarlett, Snake Eyes chases after Stormshadow who attempts to have Cobra troops open fire on Snake-Eyes, but Snake-Eyes approaches them from behind, kills them, and uses their ammunition to stop his facial bleeding, at the cost of burning what's rest of his visage.
Back with Duke's party, Optimus makes peace with GI Joe.
Nearby, Starscream expresses his desire to lead the Autobots. Megatron however cares little for Starscream's threats and is morn concerned about the safety of his Energon stockpile and how Destro could be a potential threat to Megatron's long-term plans.
Destro reports to Cobra Commander about the recent loss of Radio blackout. Starscream agrees to send some reinforcements- including Wild Weasel. He also communicates with Zartan.
At the Joe Camp, Wild Weasel attacks the Joes, who are defended by Grimlock. Several Decepticon fliers are dispatched.
Snake-Eyes continues to follow Stormshadow, moving into a castle. After taking a mask off a suit of armor, Snake-Eyes catches up to Stormshadow and the merciless Ravage.
