Action Force: Ancient Relics

The international Action Force team, investigating the report of a monster in the sewers of London, encounters the menace of Megatron!

Members involved in this mission included Airtight, Barbecue, Bazooka, Crankcase, Dusty, Flint, Heavy Metal, Scarlett, and Wild Bill.

Note: Note: According to a mini-comic later released by Marvel UK, Action Force later merged with the American G.I. Joe organization and took on their name. (This was at odds with all previous material that had presented the European and American teams as branches of a single organization called "Action Force".) This was to account for the local switch-over of the 'Action Force' merchandise to "G.I. Joe the Action Force" branding. This likely encompasses the team's appearance in the later-still Marvel US Generation 2 comics as G.I. Joe.

Dreamwave

Transformers/G.I. Joe

In 1938, Europe was overrun by the combined forces of the Decepticons and Cobra. G.I. Joe was formed to combat them, and were led to their Terrordrome in the Fera Islands by a map carved out of the USS Hama's hull by treacherous Cobra operatives. While engaging Cobra troops commanded by Storm Shadow, the Joes encountered the Autobots, who soon repaired and revived themselves. The Joes soon found themselves under fire from a squadron of Rattlers and Seekers led by Wild Weasel, but they were driven back by Lady Jaye and the Aerialbots.

While the Cobra aircraft were driven off, they left behind paratroopers and Rumble. The Joes managed to defeat the troops, and Bumblebee and Scarlett destroyed Rumble, but Zartan managed to murder and replace Breaker in the confusion. He was quickly discovered, but not before he allowed Soundwave to capture Flint.

Storm Shadow left the main Cobra force to engage in a deadly duel with his sword-brother Snake-Eyes, now a member of G.I. Joe. Despite the intervention of Ravage, Snake-Eyes defeated Storm Shadow, who was then eaten by a shark.

Soon, Cobra prepared to defend the town of Torhavn against the approoaching Autobots and Joes, using slaves as human shields. Another Cobra air attack was foiled by Lady Jaye and Superion; soon afterwards, Lady Jaye defeated Major Bludd and the Dreadnoks. Meanwhile, a small Joe strikeforce infiltrated the Terrordrome, destroying Frenzy in the process.

As the Joes, Autobots, and an Allied fleet neared, Shockwave destroyed Superion and a number of ships, damaging himself severely in the process. But despite heavy losses, the Autobots soldiered on.

Destro and the Baroness took advantage of the chaos to unleash their monstrous creation Bruticus upon both sides - but not before slaying their co-conspirator, Starscream. Bruticus' attack crippled Cobra Commander, allowing the Baroness to execute him with Megatron's pistol form. Her victory was short-lived - before the Commander's body could cool, she and Destro were arrested by Scarlett and Snake-Eyes. As the metal monster tore through the Autobots, Snake-Eyes took the Matrix from the Commander's corpse and destroyed it, killing the Autobots, Decepticons, and Bruticus and ending the threat of Cobra.

Members involved in this mission included Beachhead, Breaker, Duke, Flint, Grunt, Lady Jaye, Leatherneck, Lifeline, Roadblock, Scarlett, Snake-Eyes, and Stalker.

Transformers/G.I. Joe: Divided Front

Some 45 years after the conquest of Europe, Cobra rose again, and G.I. Joe returned to combat it. Headquartered in the Pit, G.I. Joe was led by Duke, a veteran of the last Cobra war. In 1985, a G.I. Joe team led by Flint attacked a Cobra shipping facility. While the facility was largely destroyed, Destro and Scrap-Iron managed to escape via Trouble Bubble, an act that led to Flint being reprimanded. Soon afterwards, the Joes detected the crash of an Autobot shuttlecraft near Portland. Flint was sent to retrieve it with a team of rookies, and managed to repel a Cobra strike team and recover an unconscious Blaster. Hours later, the team was briefed by Duke, Stalker, and Scarlett on the threat posed by the Transformers.

Members involved in this mission included Airtight, Alpine, Barbecue, Bazooka, Blowtorch, Clutch, Cover Girl, Doc, Duke, Flint, Grand Slam, Gung-Ho, Mutt & Junkyard, Quick Kick, Rock'N'Roll, Scarlett, Shipwreck, Snake-Eyes, Spirit, Stalker, and Wild Bill.

[Note: As Dreamwave went bankrupt after only one issue of this series was published, it is unknown whether Snake-Eyes is in any way related to his 1930s counterpart.]
