Synopsis
When GI Joe Strike Team Two leader Flint orders Breaker to signal the fleet, he deduces that Breaker is actually an imposter: Zartan. Flint sends the rest of the team to engage Zartan in one on one combat, but Zartan's partner Soundwave easily captures Flint. Rather that eliminates the rest of Flint's team, Zartan and Soundwave retreat with Flint in their custody. Beach Head takes charge of the team and concludes that the best way to summon the fleet would be with the radio equipment of a nearby control tower.

Strike Team One, meanwhile, is having difficulty maneuvering while under assault from Rumble. Scarlett is able to defeat Rumble by jumping onto Bumblebee's motorbike mode and using him to get close enough to Rumble that she can defeat the Decepticon with a grenade. However Rumble's attack made the terrain too unstable and Grimlock is falls over the edge of a cliff, despite Roadblock's attempts at a pep talk. The two are saved however when the Arielbots arrive and are sable to save Grimlock by combining into Superion.

North, Snake-Eyes walks away from the ruined castle where he fought Stormshadow, but once again Stormshadow attacks, having apparently survived the grenade blast. The two plummet together off of the islands and into the sea, where Stormshadow's life in finally ended by a shark.

Within the Terrordrome, Destro and Starscream discuss their motivations for sending the American forces a map to the Fera Islands, causing G. I. Joe's presence and thus the awakening of the Autobots. They both intend to overthrow their respective leaders, and to do that, they intend to use the ultimate weapon in their plot: Bruticus.

Beach Head, breaking into a mysteriously abandoned Cobra control tower to summon the American battle fleet, is ambushed by Frenzy. Noting the mechanical nature of Frenzy, Beach Head attempts to electrocute the Decepticon. Outside, Lady Jaye sees the electrical explosion and prepares to move to assist when she herself is spotted by Wild Weasel.
