Synopsis
"All or Nothing!"
All eyes turn skywide as the Ark looms overhead under the command of Megatron! After various events in another comic, he's defeated an Autobot strike team with four kills and two woundings, and he's conned Cobra into giving him a new body and their top weapons designer Dr. Biggles-Jones in return for a load of junk. Now he's off to reclaim command of the Decepticons!
Unknown to him, Skydive and Spike Witwicky, one-time Headmaster partner to Fortress Maximus, have each managed to sneak on board. Spike feels it's lucky he came back to check on the Ark when he did but he'll need Maximus' body to do anything; unfortunately, he finds Fortress Maximus's body has been heavily damaged by Megatron. He takes control anyway and Maximus teams up with Skydive, making his move while Megatron, in need of reinforcements wherever he can get them, is focused on the "sheer lunacy" of bringing someone back. While Max takes on Megs, Skydive rescues Biggles-Jones and then leaves. Sadly, Fortress Maximus proves no match for the upgraded Decepticon leader, leaving Spike worried that Maximus intends to die stopping Megatron (he doesn't want to be included too!).
Only a distraction provided by Skydive—screw Biggles-Jones' safety, he wants to shoot at that bastard too!—proves enough to allow Maximus to walk away from the battle. He locates the antimatter conversion chamber, which will take out the Ark if destroyed, and tells Spike to leave and get clear. Unfortunately, Spike knows that Maximus probably can't do it without his help, and the two willingly sacrifice themselves to shatter the chamber. Skydive escapes in time, Biggles-Jones in tow, but whether or not Megatron fell is unknown...
Meanwhile, on Earth, Cobra is fleeing the town of Milleville with Cybertronian junk parts. Hot Spot, the leader of the Autobots sent to Earth, feels that the risk is too great that humans could reverse-engineer something even from rubbish; he goes on the attack despite his wounds, attempting to destroy all the parts. Wounded, he is only able to succeed when G.I. Joe arrive to provide aid. However, he's unable to fight back when the Cobras surround him, intending to dissect him for information. Optimus Prime had made it clear that not even the Autobots could fall into human hands... so Hot Spot self-destructs, much to the horror of the watching Hawk.
When Skydive returns to Earth with Dr. Biggles-Jones, he and members of G.I. Joe reflect on the sacrifices of Fortress Maximus and Hot Spot. Skydive reflects on death and both he and Hawk hope that, when their time comes, they can be as strong as their comrades were.
Released: October 1993
