Long Summary The Dreadnoks, Buzzer, Torch, Ripper, Monkeywrench, Zanzibar and Thrasher, have just left the latest Cobra scam which is called "Free Introductory Seminar: How to become filthy rich from real estate without having any capital or even moderate intelligence" and run by Zarana and Zandar. As the Dreadnoks drive along the New Jersey highway, they spot an Army convoy, so they do what Dreadnok do and attack it. Buzzer slashes the tires, Torch sets them on fire, Zanzibar shoots one and Monkeywrench steals a crate off the back of one of the trucks. At Zartan's Gas Station, also in New Jersey, a small Joe team of Mutt & Junkyard, Law & Order and Cross Country and his HAVOC are staking out the place hoping that someone will show up. At the Cobra Consulate building in New York City, a Tele viper has just discovered a GI Joe bugging device that has been installed in their satellite up link. (See Special Missions #7). The Dreadnoks show up at there gas station hideout. But before they can start to party Thrasher smells something out in the swamp; the Joes. So Buzzer rides of into the swamp on his motorcycle with his chainsaw in hand. Junkyard takes of running, actually drawing Buzzer away from the Joes, but Buzzer catches him with his chainsaw and then speeds back to the gas station. Mutt immediately opens fire on them and the battle is on. The Dreadnoks return fire from the gas station, as Cross Country fires up his HAVOC. The Thunder Machine comes at the Joes from a different angle, Buzzer opens the stolen crate, which is a wire guided anti-tank missile; the M-47 MAW Dragon. Buzzer sets himself up and fires it right at the HAVOC as it pulls out. But Order saves the day by attacking him causing him to miss. The Thunder Machine and the HAVOC are circling each other trying to get there forward facing weapons pointed at each other. Cross Country does a quick skid move to win the position battle, firing directly into the Thunder Machine, pretty much destroying it, he then finishes it of by running over it. Cross Country captures Thrasher and Monkeywrench, and Order and Law have captured Buzzer. As Mutt checks on Junkyard, who is alive but with a nasty cut, Mutt gives Buzzer a swift kick in the head.
