Action Force #5/1989

In "Desperate trekk," Cobra Commander tracks down Guardsman Fred VII with a desperate mission: to restore Billy to wholeness after his coma, a quest that leads to the acquisition of a new battle armor. Meanwhile, Dusty and Mainframe race against time in the Middle East, extracting vital intel on the Terror-Dromes from a captured unit under Colonel Sharif’s command—information they relay to the Joes through coded plans. When Billy finally awakens, he remembers nothing of who he was, leaving his past—and future—uncertain.

In Denver, Cobra Commander, Raptor, and Fred VII deploy the new Cobra Pogo to ambush the Joes during field exercises with the S.L.A.M. weapon, testing their tactics under pressure. Meanwhile, Billy begins to recover fragments of his past, stepping into a forgotten dojo where he’s confronted by Jinx and the Blind Master, reliving moments from his time with Storm Shadow. As the Cobra forces regroup after the failed assault, the Commander calls for a private meeting with Raptor and Fred VII to reconsider their path forward.
