Plot
Joe Colton arrives at his old team-mate Garrison Kreiger's secret base and has his arm stump operated on, in order to remove any remaining Dire Wraith bio-matter, and they decide to work together to take down the Dire Wraiths and the Cybertronians together.
Kreiger reveals that the Talisman gives off an energy that hurts Transformers, and Colton figures he can use it to attack Cybertron itself. Since he knows that his old GI Joe team wouldn't want to start an intergalactic war, he has some new cohorts that he plans to call upon...various villains from the IDW Hasbro-verse!

Notes
- Whilst this is marked as First Strike #0, it would work well as Revolutionaries or Origins of Evil #0, as it leads better into those than First Strike
- This issue "reveals" that Joe Colton is still alive, and managed to survive being replaced by a Dire Wraith by sacrificing his hand. This WOULD have been revealed in Revolutionaries #7, as well as his new identity as Baron Ironblood, but Revolutionaries is behind by a couple of months so....SPOILERS!!
- Blitzwing is shown to still be in captivity of Miles Mayhem, being experimented on with the Talisman...or a replica at least.
- One of the silhouettes of Colton's new team members isn't easily identified, but due to the weapons and human appearance, I would guess it's probably a member of GI Joe that hates Transformers, maybe Talon?
