To save the world, G.I. Joe disobeys orders and flies their sizable army to Cobra Island to prevent the nuclear launch from hitting the energon reserves which could possibly destroy the world (bad). As their forces alight, they pass by several Cobra aircraft leaving the island to escape the battle between the freed Transformers. At the Pentagon, the government official in charge gives the command to nuke the island, unaware of the effect the nuclear blast could have on the energon which, at the same time, Megatron has found a way to develop on Earth using the SPS Satellite.
