Plot

In the land of Microspace, Baron Karza happily reads his copy of "Aw Yeah Revolution!" and decides that he likes Snake Eyes, and wants to add him to his collection. He finishes reading and begins his next plan to acquire ultimate power, by heading to the nearby Solar System to collect a mysterious gem.

Elsewhere, Rom is hunting down some Dire Wraiths, and manages to track some down to an asteroid, and he soon begins a fight with them, however before he can o too much, he is attacked by Baron Karza, who transports himself and Rom somewhere else, leaving the Wraiths confused.

On Earth, a GI Joe team are fighting against a group of Cobra Troopers, led by Cobra Commander himself and are having a hard time against them. Suddenly Karza appears, starts to fanboy over Snake Eyes, then abducts him too, leaving Scarlett and the others to fend for themselves.

Elsewhere on Earth, Karza transports inside a mountain, and obtains the conspicuously Micronaut scaled Orbsah Gem, which sets off a reaction that makes the mountain shake. Outside, the Transformers, who were fighting over the Gem themselves start to vacate the area following the sudden earthquake, when suddenly Karza appears and abducts Optimus Prime too, leaving the other Autobots shocked.

Back in Microspace, Rom and the other captives wake up to find themselves inside some force bubbles as Karza announces that he plans to use the Gem to drain them of their powers, and use them to control the universe.

Elsewhere in Microspace, Space Glider and the other Micronauts discover that Karza's new collection of larger beings is disrupting Microspace itself, and head out to stop him and his plans!

Notes

• This series is set outside of the Hasbroverse, and is more of a comedy line that the main series. If I was more bored than I am right now, then I would try to work out the universal designation.
• Baron Karza appears with Andromeda here, who hasn't properly made an appearance in the main series, only combined with Karza himself.
• Karza classes Snake Eyes as a super hero...his definition of super heroes is getting a bit lenient
• The Orbsah gem is of course named after "Hasbro". It appears to be taking the place of Ore-13 from the actual Revolution event.
• Speaking of differences between this version of Revolution, and the main one: Megatron is still a Decepticon, Soundwave is an enemy of the Autobots, Rom is not on Earth, GI Joe is still in active combat, Cobra is still a thing, Cobra Commander is still alive, Karza is kidnapping random heroes, Bumblebee is alive, the Micronauts are not in the Entropy Cloud, and Oz and Larissa are not amongst the Micronaut roster. YIKES!
• I have to say, the characters in this art style are very cute, even the evil Dire Wraiths :3
• Karza being a fanboy of Snake Eyes may be a reference to the other Micronauts mistaking Snake Eyes for a giant Karza when they meet him.
