On the Fera Islands, the survivors of the first G.I. Joe unit, sans Snake-Eyes, consider the dormant Autobots they've found. Right when Roadblock diagnoses them as inoperative, a satellite launches and starts to scan new alternate modes, while the Autobots' self-repair systems initiate. Ironhide awakens and Leatherneck opens fire on him, completely ineffectually. Back with Duke's party, Optimus makes peace with G.I. Joe. At the Joe camp, Wild Weasel attacks the Joes, who are defended by Grimlock. Several Decepticon fliers are dispatched.
