As the Battle of Benzheen continues, a group of Joes face off vs. a new Cobra ally, Metal-Head, who proceeds to make quick work of 3 Joe vehicles. Before he can be apprehended by the angry Joes, a call to cease hostilities goes out on both sides as the Emir was forced in a secret meeting in a neutral country with Cobra Commander to ally himself with Cobra. Meanwhile, on Cobra Island, a group of Vipers discover that Billy and Zartan escaped the landlocked freighter they were trapped in by the Commander a while back.
