At Revanche HQ, Baroness and Destro have become thrall to the

malevolently mysterious machine called Alpha 001 Prime.

Meanwhile, Zartan convinces Crystal Ball to help him spy on Cobra

forces in Springfield. Little do they know, Cobra Commander and

Dr. Mindbender are planning to kidnap Sean Collins, whom they

mistakenly believe to be the original Snake Eyes. But in Africa,

the Oktober Guard do know about the plan and decide to take

action and stop it from ever succeeding.SITREP
