G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #139
In "Realignments," Megatron's return is anything but simple—rebuilt by Cobra using Biggles-Jones's railgun tech, he now transforms into a tank and pledges to deliver the Ark's secrets to his new allies. On the ruins of Cobra Island, Zartan, Destro, the Baroness, and the Joes confront a startling revelation: the Commander has taken Dr. Mindbender’s clone technology for himself, hinting at a resurrection that could reshape the war. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Chris Batista, with inks by Chip Wallace, Stephen Baskerville, Chi Williams, and Don Hudson, and colors by Sharen and Witterstaetter, this 1993 issue features a cover by Chris Batista and Chip Wallace.

Megatron is reborn thanks to Cobra, as they incorporate Biggles-Jones's railgun technology to the Decepticon leader (replacing his antimatter cannon for more power), changing his transformation mode from a gun to a tank. In return he promises them the technology in the Ark, plus scanned off of his person to retrograde into Cobra systems while he was being rebuilt. Meanwhile, on the abandoned Cobra Island, Zartan, alongside Destro, the Baroness, and the Joes, learn that the Commander has taken the late Dr. Mindbender's clone technology for himself, and apparently plans to revive his late crony.
