Plot

GI Joe has lost contact with the EDC Bikini Atoll facility, so Scarlett is leading a small team of trusted Joes to the facility to find out what's happened there, fearing that it may be related to the Dire Wraith invasion of the planet.

Scarlett and Roadblock head towards the front of the facility whilst Rock 'n Roll, Quick Kick and Wild Bill go around the facility looking for anything out of the ordinary. Within moments of them splitting up, Scarlett's team is attacked by automated weapons.

Rock's team are finding nothing on their part of the island, but upon hearing that Scarlett is under attack, Wild Bill draws his knife and attacks the other two in his team, revealing himself to be a Dire Wraith. Quick Kick and Rock fight back against their apparent ally, and Rock is forced to kill him, making him revert back to his more reptilian appearance.

Rock 'n Roll carries an injured Quick Kick into the facility, whilst Scarlett and Roadblock fight off the mass of Wraiths at the front of the facility, and set off explosives to take out large amounts of them.

Inside the facility, Rock manages to fight through the Wraiths in the halls, and manages to get himself and Quick Kick into a locked away area.

In the hidden area he finds fellow GI Joe member Grand Slam aiming a gun at him, both believing the other to be a Dire Wraiths, neither gives up, so Rock takes a chance, and shoots the supposed Dire Wraith, only to be horrified when he doesn't revert back to a Dire Wraith form upon death.

Rock then discovers what Grand Slam and the facility was guarding, the Decepticon Skywarp, who claims to be an asset for them, much to Rock's annoyance....

Notes

• This issue takes place at about the same time as Revolution: Action Man, and explains where a large amount of the Joes are during Action Man's infiltration.
• Despite his prominence on the cover and Roll Call page, Shipwreck is only in TWO PANELS of the comic.
• So, this is the second IDW series involving both Transformers and GI Joe, where Wild Bill is replaced by a spy of some sort following his death. Does IDW hate him or something?
• Skywarp was taken in by the humans after he evacuated Faireborn, Blackrock and the others from the Autobots and Decepticons. The Bikini Atoll base was shown to have areas large enough to accommodate Transformers when Thundercracker was based there.
