☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis pocket-sized collection reprints the first issue of the Dreamwave crossover event that pits the Autobots and Decepticons against the forces of G.I. Joe and Cobra. The story brings together two iconic 1980s toy and media franchises in a single narrative, written by Brad Mick with art by Jae Lee. It serves as the starting point for the limited series that explores the clash between transforming robots and the elite military unit.
In 1938, Major Bludd’s discovery in the Fera Islands awakens the Decepticons, unleashing ancient forces into a world already teetering on war. By 1939, the U.S. has formed G.I. Joe to counter Cobra’s growing threat, but when the two factions unite in a hidden alliance, the Joes launch a desperate assault on the Fera Islands—setting the stage for a clash that will define the future of both sides.
In the rugged aftermath of battle on the Fera Islands, a wounded Snake-Eyes presses on despite brutal burns, driven by vengeance against Storm Shadow. As dormant Autobots awaken under the gaze of a scanning satellite, Ironhide stirs to life, and Optimus Prime seeks uneasy truce with the surviving Joes. Meanwhile, Decepticon tensions simmer as Cobra’s forces mobilize, and Grimlock stands firm as Wild Weasel’s assault is repelled.
In "Chapter Three: Trial by Fire," the G.I. Joe team and the Autobots face a fierce alliance of Cobra and the Decepticons on the Fera Islands. As Flint, Lady Jaye, and their allies battle on all fronts, tensions rise when Snake-Eyes confronts Ravage and Storm Shadow, while Zartan moves unseen within Flint’s ranks. With Megatron and Cobra Commander locked in a clash of wills and the Matrix at the heart of the conflict, the fate of the battlefield hangs in the balance.
In "Chapter Four: Wolves," Flint uncovers Breaker's true identity as Zartan, only to be captured by the impostor and Soundwave. With Beach Head taking command, the team races to find a control tower to call in the fleet, while Superion rescues Grimlock and Snake-Eyes narrowly survives a deadly duel with Stormshadow. Amid the chaos, Destro and Starscream plot to activate Bruticus, and Beach Head is ambushed by Frenzy—just as Lady Jaye is spotted in the shadows.
In "Chapter Six: The Iron Fist," the Joes and Autobots push toward the Terrordrome, racing against dwindling hope as they fight to free enslaved civilians. Amid shifting loyalties, Lady Jaye reveals her true identity and strikes down Zartan, while Bruticus is unleashed into chaos—culminating in the Baroness betraying Starscream and executing Cobra Commander. As Optimus Prime and Megatron clash over the Matrix, Snake-Eyes shatters it, plunging all Transformers into silence and bringing the war to an abrupt, uncertain close.
