There's only one 'bot who can stop Megatron's mad plan to have Primus consume the Sun. It all ends here... but will anyone be left standing when it's all over?

Synopsis

As battle rages around him, Hawk hitches a ride on Starscream's jet mode in order to reach the top of Megatron's head, where Destro stands with Doctor Venom. As Destro and Hawk trade blows, the arms dealer is shocked to recognize the Joe's lucky tomahawk as the warhammer of the Viking Thor FalkenHauser, who Destro slew in his youth. Suddenly, both combatants are simultaneously felled—Destro by a javelin hurled by Lady Jaye, Hawk by the Serpentress's snake-staff. Doctor Venom wrenches the javelin from Destro's wound, and the masked man reaches for the tomahawk to finish the injured general off, only to be stymied when Duke swoops down on his jetpack and snatches the weapon away. What neither man realizes is that the tomahawk is actually Cybertronian technology given to Duke's Viking ancestor in ages past... and now that it is back in the hands of the FalkenHauser bloodline, its true power is unleashed! Duke brings the weapon crashing down on the gem that hangs around Destro's neck, and as the gem shatters, Destro perishes, his body reduced to a smoking corpse. The gun in Destro's hand—a gift given to him by Megatron—reveals itself to be a tiny Decepticon when it transforms and attacks Duke, but the Joe sergeant ends it threat by simply crushing it beneath his booted heel. Duke rushes to Hawk's aid, but finds the general is beyond saving; the fresh wound has agitated the injury he took on the day the Decepticons arrived on Earth. Duke blames Snake-Eyes for originally wounding Hawk, but Hawk now reveals that Storm Shadow was the one responsible—the shot Snake-Eyes fired had been to throw off his ninja brother's aim, preventing his attack from being a fatal one and saving Hawk's life. Ever since then, Snake-Eyes has been acting as Hawk's deep-cover agent within Cobra. Hawk dies in Duke's arms, much to Doctor Venom's amusement; the furious Duke shoves a live grenade in the doctor's mouth, killing him.

Super-charged by the energy of the Sun that Primus is in the process of draining, Megatron combines the energies of his black hole heart with the Matrix of Leadership, seizing control of all the Autobots' bodies and drawing them in, combining them with his own and turning himself into "Mega-Megatron." The Joes are unwilling to hurt their friends by pressing their attack, and things seem to go from bad to worse when the Decepticon flagship Nemesis appears in the sky. However, the vessel is revealed to have been captured by Shipwreck and Polly, who crash it into Megatron, scattering the Autobots free! Further, the fact that Shipwreck—last seen on Earth—still lives portends a joyous revelation: through clouds of space dust that have obscured it until now, the Earth comes into view! Though a new continent has been gouged into the planet's surface by its collision with Cybertron, the Joes' homeworld is still in one piece, and a radio transmission from the Joes on Earth soon informs them that the "Atlas Protocol" has been initiated...

Having lost contact with Cybertron, the remaining Joes on Earth open the ancient, sealed envelope kept on file "in case of Armageddon." Within, they find a set of co-ordinates, which Flint follows to a hidden bunker in the South American jungle, where he finds the body of G.I. Joe founder Joe Colton preserved in suspended animation. Once awakened from his cold sleep, Colton instructs Flint to take him back to T.H.E. P.I.T., where he reveals the existence of a second secret facility hidden even further below the already-underground base. Instructing the Joes to don ceremonial helmets cast in the shape of the Autobot symbol, Colton leads them down into the depths... where an impossibly huge cybernetic eyeball watches their arrival...

When Cobra Commander's cowl is snatched away by one of the U.S.7 animals, he calls for someone to bring him a replacement. Snake-Eyes takes this as his cue to appear, bowing before the commander and offering him his original helmet and faceplate, which the ninja has kept since their last encounter. The moment is interrupted by the arrival of Billy—his lost human limbs replaced with reptilian equivalents courtesy of Koh-Buru-Lah—and Storm Shadow, who is determined to settle his score with Snake Eyes. As Billy and his father duel, the two ninjas engage in a short battle of their own, which ends when Snake-Eyes stabs Storm Shadow in the chest. The white-clad ninja congratulates Snake-Eyes on his victory, then passes away in peace. Billy is distracted by his teacher's death and finds himself surrounded by Cobra Commander and his retinue... but just then, Snake-Eyes reveals his final trick, remotely triggering the anti-tamper mechanism built into the commander's helmet. The commander shrieks and tries to pull the helmet off, but too late: the plastic explosive lining his headgear detonates, killing the commander and all those around him.

The frenzied pace of the battle does not slow down, as suddenly, the legendary Autobot "god of death" Ultra Magnus comes crashing through Primus's eye, and challenges Megatron to face him in a one-on-one confrontation on the Sun. Megatron, eager to slay all old gods that he might take their place in his new age, accepts, and the pair relocate to the mechanical surface of the Dyson sphere that Primus has surrounded the star with to drain its energy. There, Magnus snatches the Matrix from Megatron's chest, but when Megatron mockingly inquires if Magnus thinks that reclaiming the talisman will make him king, Magnus replies that he is no king, but rather a placeholder for the true ruler. At that point, Magnus's armor opens, and from within his body... his physical form restored, and his spirit recovered from the afterlife by Scarlett using the Brainwave Scanner... Optimus Prime emerges! With one mighty punch, the reborn Optimus sends Megatron hurtling over the edge of an aperture in the sphere, tumbling into the heart of the sun, the Matrix falling with him. Starscream appears to reach out to save his leader... but in actuality, the treacherous air commander is reaching for the Matrix instead, grabbing it as Megatron disappears into the solar inferno.

A giant game of "hot potato" ensues, as Laserbeak snatches the Matrix from Starscream's grasp, and the Joes, Autobots, Cobras, and Decepticons all engage in a mad scramble to recover it. Finally, it is snagged by Bumblebee, who returns it to Optimus Prime... but this is not the victory it appears to be, as Prime soon discovers that even with the Matrix, he cannot stop the hunger-maddened Primus's consumption of the Sun. Fortunately, General Flagg has the answer, and sends word to Colton on Earth to put the final step of the Atlas Protocol into action. As all assembled watch in awe, the Earth itself transforms into the giant robot Atlas, lost sibling of Primus, and punches its brother-planet square in the face, shattering the Dyson sphere and saving the Sun. With the danger over, Snake-Eyes makes one final request of Optimus Prime, petitioning the Autobot leader to heal his scarred features. At the touch of Optimus's thumb, Snake-Eyes's face is repaired, and he and Scarlett embrace, ready to move on to the next stage of their lives together.

The Joes return to Earth to celebrate their victory in "Space War I," where Hawk is buried with honors, and Flagg is given the death sentence for his war crimes, only to be spared by Presidential pardon at the last minute. Scarlett and Snake-Eyes retire to live on Earth's new continent, which becomes home to Scorponok and all those who live within him. Brawn and Cover Girl get married and use a combination of techno-organic technologies to conceive a child. Billy—representing the perfect fusion of man, machine, reptile, Joe, Cobra, and Arashikage—takes up the mantle of both Snake-Eyes and Cobra Commander, assuming control of his father's organization as a force for good and using it to colonize and terraform Mars. The pregnant Serpentress—now the Baroness once more—retreats to the planet Venus to await the birth of her and the deceased commander's prophesied child. Megatron, trapped in the burning core of the sun, tries to use his black hole heart to teleport himself into another universe; his charred remains are deposited in a world of magic and rainbows, where they are found by a group of little ponies. Under Optimus Prime's direction, Primus/Cybertron is set on course to return to its original orbit, and once it has left Earth's Solar System, Prime departs on the Ark 2 with a hand-picked crew of Joes and Autobots on a mission to track down the Makers, creators of all life in the universe. Appointed king once more and now ready to face the role, Rodimus is left to rule Cybertron in Optimus's stead.

Some time later, as the Joes get back to normal life, Duke and Roadblock see Roadblock's two daughters off on their first day of school. Just before the school bus drives away, however, Roadblock notices something odd about the driver... it's Buzzer! Snatching his girls to safety just before the bus reveals itself to be a Decepticon, Roadblock and Duke open fire on the Dreadnok and his robotic ally, realizing that the war never truly ends, and that they must always be vigilant for robots in disguise!

'Til all are one!

Quotes

"I've lived through many cataclysms, but as long as someone needs a gun, there will always be a place for Destro."

—Destro

"That was a beautiful stroke. Fighting you was an honor. All these years we were better served as enemies than as friends. Steel sharpens steel, as the Hard Master taught us. You made me better, as I hope I did the same for you. If the karmic cycle demands that I die four thousand times, I hope all of those deaths shall be at your hand."

—Storm Shadow's dying words to Snake-Eyes

"Don't you realize, Billy? Daddy always wins. The secret of my success is simple. It's all in my manifesto. My secret is that I cheat. If you break the rules, you make the rules."

—Cobra Commander

"Starscream is here for you! I've got you!"
"Loyal Starscream... I knew I could count on you. You've served me well."
"I was talking to the Matrix."
KICK!
"Cybertron is mine!"

—Starscream and Megatron

Falcon: "If GoBot Jesus can't do it, how can we stop Primus?"
Bazooka: "Got any ideas, General?"
Flagg: "Don't worry. Joe's got this one covered."
(beat)
Flagg: "Right, Joe?"
Colton: "Right, Larry."

Notes

Continuity notes

• Wild Bill's skin and clothes are all a bleached-white color following his return from the dead last issue. On the surface this creates a kind of spectral, "ghostly" look to go along with his resurrected status, plus he's clearly displaying inhuman powers, able to project a lasso and shoot six-gun style from his index fingers. Tom Scioli notes in the issue's commentary that he's been transformed into a "superhuman man-machine hybrid," in-keeping with the overarching themes of this series.
• Destro recognizes Hawk's "tomahawk" as the warhammer of Thor FalkenHauser, Viking ancestor of Duke, who he encountered when he was still a youth back in issue #9. The hammer has been in the care of Hawk's bloodline since Destro killed FalkenHauser and Hawk's ancestor picked it up. The tomahawk is revealed to actually be Cybertronian technology, explaining how it so easily cleaved Ravage's head open all the way back in issue #1.
• The narration tells us that FalkenHauser was given his warhammer "for his role in a long-forgotten war of the worlds," which—taken together with the revelation about Earth's true nature from this issue—shows that Destro was far from the first human to gain access to Cybertronians and their technology. As indicated by the presence of the warhammer's symbol on the walls of the secret passage below the Pit, the Vikings were an earlier (the earliest?) incarnation of a secret society entrusted with guarding the secret of the planet, which G.I. Joe is just the newest incarnation of. The Vikings were previously shown to have a connection to Cybertron in a flashback in issue #5 (set after issue #9), in which Aberneth was shown captaining a longboat with Autobot symbols on the sails, rowed by men wearing Autobot masks. These masks appear again this issue, when Joe Colton has the Joes don them to awaken Atlas, indicating they are the society's "ceremonial garb" of sorts.
• Duke mentions that "the scum who killed [his] daddy used a Destro gun;" we learned about his father's death by gunshot in issue #11.
• Megatron gave Destro "a gift" in issue #3, which turned out to be a Cybertronian gun in issue #5. This issue, we find out the gun was a Transformer itself, "Mini-Megatron," explained by his "filecard" to be an Autobot-created anti-Megatron propaganda tool that Megatron co-opted.
• Hawk dies when the Serpentress agitates the wound he took in issue #1. We saw Storm Shadow try to finish his failed assassination attempt by attacking Hawk up close and personal in issue #5.
• Scarlett was previously subjected to the Brainwave Scanner in issue #7. Among the many haunting experiences she subsequently endured in that issue was hearing the ghostly voices of the many dead Nebulans on whose back Scorponok was built; she subjects herself to the scanner again so that she can once more make contact with "the other side," as it were, and thus lead Optimus's spirit home.
• Scarlett mentions that Optimus helped her when she was "at her lowest." This must refer to events that occurred off-panel between issues #7 and #8, as Scarlett shed the rage that drove her and took control of Scorponok.
• Scarlett gave Snake-Eyes Cobra Commander's old helmet, recovered from the wreckage of the plane he went down in, in issue #0.
• Billy's remaining organic arm and leg were torn off by Koh-Buru-Lah in issue #8, but he was revealed to still be alive, held within the creature's body, in issue #10. We see this issue that the beast regenerated his limbs as reptilian counterparts.
• Ultra Magnus was last seen taking possession of Optimus Prime's dead body in issue #10. With this issue, we learn he is not some mythical ferryman of the dead; rather, he was taking the body to repair it (see "Transformers references," below).
• It was suggested that Earth, like Cybertron, might also have been a creation of the legendary Daiakuron in issue #10, and with this issue, we get our answer: yep!!
• Cobra Commander was granted dominion over Mars by Megatron last issue, which Billy now inherits.
• The Baroness is pregnant with the child who will grow up to become Serpentor, following her passionate encounter with Cobra Commander last issue.
• Brawn and Cover Girl's child is conceived using "a combination of binary bonding, Headmaster and technoactive core technology." In this series, binary-bonding was previously featured as the means by which Doctor Venom turned himself into Soundwave's head, and was also used to describe Zarak and Scarlett's Headmaster bond to Scorponok, so why those would be listed as different things, eh, who knows. Technoactive technology, meanwhile, was the means used by Perceptor to bring Wild Bill back from the dead, apparently an outgrowth of the Decepticons' "people-growing" experiments.
• General Flagg's war crimes include murdering the Jugglers in issue #6.
• Buzzer appeared in die in issue #3, shot through the head by Doctor Venom; the way he is shown to reconfigure his arms into a gun and his signature chainsaw here indicate his resurrection owes something to Cybertronian technology. His unnamed bus Decepticon partner, meanwhile, appeared before in issue #6.

Transformers references

• Megatron's "Mega-Megatron" form is styled after the jagged, many-faceted look of the live-action movie Megatron, and his pose in his introductory panel is based on one of the promotional CGI renders of Megatron released for the first film. John Barber notes in the commentary the similarity of his combining all the Autobots with the Deceptigod from IDW's 2009-2011 ongoing comic book, but it's just coincidence.
• The Nemesis is drawn just as it appeared in the Generation 1 cartoon.
• The montage of Megatron artwork from the original Marvel comic on page 18 includes: Megatron standing against the army's firepower from issue #4; Megatron issuing orders to the Decepticons from issue #2; splintered reflections of Megatron's face from the cover of issue #78, and Megatron turning on Galvatron with "raw, naked aggression" from the issue's interior, Megatron under attack from the Predacons from the cover of issue #25, and swearing Optimus Prime will die by his hand from the issue's interior; and Megatron being blasted by Cobra from G.I. Joe #139.
• Ultra Magnus crashes through Primus's eye in homage to the way the Autobots burst through Unicron's eye in The Transformers: The Movie. On the same page, Springer, Arcee, Ultra Magnus, and Kup recreate the poster for the movie, with Wreck-Gar standing in for Blurr.
• Magnus has repaired Optimus Prime's body by taking it into himself, in homage to the original Ultra Magnus toy, which featured a white Optimus Prime redeco as a cab and "inner robot." As the reborn Prime (now bleached white, of course, like Wild Bill!) emerges, a caption declares "THE RETURN OF OPTIMUS PRIME," re-using the name of the Generation 1 cartoon episode in which Prime was resurrected from his death in the movie, and in which he is also colored white (or light gray, at least) after being coated with an experimental alloy.
• The narration promises that Megatron will eventually return as Galvatron, though as it turns out, it's not Unicron he is found by, but some unicorns...
• The plaque on General Hawk's statue reads "Pax Cybertronia," a reference to the peace accord from the Beast Wars cartoon.
• Snake-Eyes is given a real name for the first time in Joe history: Francis Witwicky.
• The Ark 2's destination is Quadrant X, a region space featured in the Generation 1 cartoon episode "The Face of the Nijika." In the cartoon, the Quintessons were known to be active in the area, hence its use here as the crew's first port of call in search of answers about the Makers.
• The post-war era is referred to as "Transformers ♡ G.I. Joe: Generation 2".

G.I. Joe references

• The standard cover for this final issue appears to reference the cover to the final Marvel issue of G.I. Joe (#155) in which Stalker and Duke are folding the American flag.
• As Hawk and Destro battle, the first panel on page 4 is an homage to the pair's first meeting from issue #26 of the original Marvel G.I. Joe comic, and the classic panel is included as a background image.
• Hawk dies when the Serpentress impales him with her snake-staff, an homage to Duke's (would-be) death from G.I. Joe: The Movie, in which Serpentor stabbed him with one of his snakes.
• As he dies, Hawk tells Duke to let Flagg know: "I win. I'm the Joe general who died a hero's death. I'm the one who gets a statue."—a grim riff on General Flagg's own martyr complex and eagerness for glory in death from the Marvel Joe series, in which he perished. Two full, silent pages from issue #22 of the Marvel series, depicting Flagg's funeral at Arlington, are re-used wholesale for this issue to represent Hawk's funeral, with Scioli noting in the commentary that he re-used them because he knew he couldn't top them.
• Doctor Venom's death hearkens back to his time in the Marvel Joe comic, in which the Inuit mercenary Kwinn threatened to shove a grenade in his mouth. Duke follows through!
• The country in which Colton's bunker is buried is not specified, but the appearance of a tribe who lead Flint there suggest an answer: these are the Tucaro Indians, native people of Sierra Gordo, one of numerous fictional countries invented for the Marvel comic book.
• The concept of a secret Pit beneath the Pit, containing a gigantic alien eyeball, is lifted not from any classic Joe media, but from IDW's own continuation of the Marvel series!
• The "stairway to heaven" that Storm Shadow ascends as he dies is the repeating Arashikage hexagram, the tattoo of their ninja clan that both he and Snake-Eyes wear. Three silhouettes are seen waiting for him at the top, the Hard Master, Soft Master, and Blind Master.
• Cobra Commander's helmet being lined with plastic explosive as a sacrificial anti-tamper precaution originates with issues #24 of the Marvel comic, a panel from which is re-used by way of explanation.
• When General Flagg finally takes off his aviator sunglasses and hat, he is revealed to look like Larry Hama, principal creator of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero comic and characters. Colton even says that "Larry" is Flagg's real name!
• Like the Pit-under-the-Pit idea, the notion of someone else taking on the identity of Snake-Eyes also originates from IDW's continuation of the Marvel series, though in that book, it was a different Joe character named Throwdown.
• Roadblock having two daughters is taken from the live-action movie, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, as is his close civilian friendship with Duke.
• The final page of the issue includes a panel of Duke and Roadblock's side-by-side introduction from issue #22 of the Marvel comic.

Jack Kirby references

• The visual of Megatron and Ultra Magnus battling on the surface of the Dyson sphere that surrounds the Sun is deliberately evocative of the planet Apokolips from Jack Kirby's Fourth World series at DC Comics, complete with gouts of flame shooting up through apertures in the sphere like the planet's famous flame pits. Completing the reference, Megatron rages about becoming the new god of the universe.
• When Optimus heals Snake-Eyes's face, it at first looks as if he is refusing when he offers a "thumbs-down" gesture in response to Snake-Eyes's request, only to then touch Snake's face with said thumb, emblazoned with a glowing tech-pattern. This is a reference to Arishem of the Celestials, from Kirby's Marvel series The Eternals, the godlike alien being charged with deciding if the Earth was worthy of survival. If he decided it was not, he would offer a thumbs-down gesture, releasing the formula inscribed on his thumb that would end the world.
• Of all of Jupiter's 63 moons, the fact that Metroplex settles on Europa is almost certainly a reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey, which featured the moon as a key element of its story, and which Kirby produced a comic book adaptation of for Marvel.

Real-life references

• On Scioli's subscription cover, Snake-Eyes recreates the famous pose struck by Spider-Man on the cover of 1964's Amazing Spider-Man #19.
• Atlas is named for obvious reasons. Optimus Prime notes he is also known as "Terra," the Latin name for Earth, and in a Cybertronian document called the "Laser Scrolls," he is named "Pangaiden", a dual reference to Pangea (the ancient supercontinent that once encompassed all the land mass of Earth), and the Japanese word gaiden (外伝) meaning "side story" or "tale."
• Megatron, of course, winds up in the world of My Little Pony, described as a realm in which "magic is science, and friendship is magic," in reference to the subtitle of the 2010 reinvention of the brand. All four ponies who find his body are recognizable as "real" characters, from right to left: Moondancer, who licks his charred remains; Rarity from My Little Pony's third generation; Friendship Is Magic protagonist Twilight Sparkle; and Friendship Is Magic background character Lyra Heartstrings. All four are "unicorn" ponies, playing into the narration's pun mentioned above. Given this hodgepodge of eras, the ponies have G1-style character designs.
• Page 38, in which Scarlett and Snake-Eyes receive their invitation to Brawn and Cover Girl's wedding, is modelled after the final page of 1982's Wolverine #4, in which the X-Men receive their invitation to Wolverine's wedding. Cover Girl and Wolverine have both hand-written the same note on the invites: "Don't forget the beers!"

Errors

• A lot of loose ends get tied up this issue, but one glaring omission is what becomes of Koh-Buru-Lah. Last seen floating right next to Megatron in the last few pages of the previous issue, the eldritch beast does not appear in this issue.
• Megatron's diminutive counterpart's name is spelled "MINIMEGATRON" on his file card, but "Mini-Megatron" all through the commentary. We've opted to side with the commentary for the parallel with the spelling of "Mega-Megatron."
• Law is seen with his dog, Order, on Earth, but Order last appeared active as part of U.S.7 on Cybertron.
• When Ultra Magnus appears, Arcee says that she thought he was a myth, but back in issue five she claimed she once watched Magnus kill Blackarachnia.
• The sizes of the various landmasses adorning Atlas are... farcically out of proportion to their real-life counterparts.

Other notes

• This final issue is an extra-sized 48-page "prestige" perfect-bound special with a cardstock cover, containing 43 pages of story, the usual commentary from Scioli and Barber, a farewell message from Scioli, and no ads.
• Just poking her pink-haired head out from behind Zartan on Scioli's subscription cover is the Dreanok leader's sister Zarana, a major G.I. Joe character who has been head-scratchingly notable by her otherwise complete absence from this series. Everyone else on the cover has appeared in the series at least once (or just once, in the case of Croc Master).
• A joking footnote claims that the story of how Shipwreck captured the Nemesis will be told in "Shipwreck: Space Pirate," released in July 2025.
• A lot of info about the state of the solar system post-war is given that doesn't fit easily into our synopsis above, including:
  • Mercury becomes a vacation spot for Transformers.
  • The wreckage of the Dyson sphere becomes a new planet named Sunshadow.
  • The planetary matter gouged out of Earth by its collision with Cybertron becomes a second moon, home to a sect of Megatron loyalists.
  • Shipwreck polices interplanetary trade in the asteroid belt, fending off attacks from Zanzibar and his space pirates.
  • Former Decepticons and newly-airborn Autobots live in the "floating aviaries" of Jupiter. Metroplex takes up residence on Europa.
  • Cobra accountant Raptor establishes an interplanetary tax haven on Saturn's moon Mundilfari.
  • Uranus becomes home to Maximals and Predacons. Rodimus and Wreck-Gar like to meditate there.
  • A colony named New Atlantis is settled on Neptune, with residents including Seaspray and Deep Six. A proliferation of Seacons and Sharkticons causes the colony to relocate to the moon of Triton.
  • The Oktober Guard claim Pluto for Transylvania. The world becomes home to the Insecticons, and to all those humans and Transformers who have returned from the dead. Some choose to worship Mindwipe.
• In a dual reference we can't place under just one of our headings above, the bus Decepticon has "6484" written on its side, referencing 1964 and 1984, the inaugural years of the G.I. Joe and Transformers brands, respectively.
