In Denver, Cobra Commander, Raptor, and Fred VII test out the new Cobra Pogo on the Joes, out on field maneuvers testing the new S.L.A.M. [Strategic Long-Range Artillery Machine] weapon. Billy regains his memories meanwhile as he sees into a dojo, and enters it, tested by Jinx and the Blind Master, as he remembers his time with Storm Shadow. As the Commander, Fred VII, and Raptor regroup from losing this battle, the Commander decides to discuss Cobra's future with both of them.
Publisher’s description
After testing a newly developed artillery weapon in Utah, the Joes set up a convoy to transport the weapon to Colorado. Meanwhile a quirky accountant/ tracker named Raptor hopes to prove himself to Cobra Commander by tracking down the Joes through traced payment records linked to a believed base in Colorado. With the help of his trained hawks, Raptor locates the Joes and a Cobra Commander led attack follows.
