SUMMARY
"Such tacky costumes!"
- The White Clown (while examining Snake Eyes' costume)
After a US astronaut finishes upgrading a satellite,
the crew on the space shuttle learns that Cobra has been running a secret
world-wide operation. However, thanks to Cobra satellites spying on the
US satellites, Dr. Mindbender is alerted to the shuttle's discovery and
immediately reports his findings to Cobra Commander and the Baroness, who
are soon launched into space in a Cobra space shuttle. Meanwhile, at the
Pit, the Joes detect Cobra's flight into space and Hawk orders Payload
to prepare the Joes' shuttle, Defiant, and adds that he will join the party.
As the Joes leave Earth, Cobra grabs the US satellite with a mechanical
claw, but just as they begin to reel in the satellite, the Joes arrive,
avoid Cobra's missiles, destroy the claw and then attack the shuttle. The
Baroness is knocked unconscious and Fred VII, who is pretending to be Cobra
Commander, takes charge and orders a status report. After ordering the
adjustment to several key shuttle systems, Cobra Commander orders Scrap
Iron to destroy the remaining spy satellites, which allows Cobra to continue
with their Terror Drome conspiracy. Meanwhile, the Blind Master, Scarlett
and Snake Eyes audition for the White Clown's circus, and after they are
hired, the White Clown announces that they will soon enter Borovia.

Description
In the coldness of space, a lone member of the
Joe team happily reports to General Hawk that their satellite is in place,
however, Cobra Commander arrives in a Cobra shuttle, which is piloted by
Crystal Ball and a Techno-Viper. After General Hawk sounds an alarm, the
Defiant's gantry raises the Joes' space shuttle to an upright position
and the shuttle and booster launch into space. The Defiant separates from
the booster, attacks the Cobra shuttle and grabs the satellite and the
captured Joe. Cobra's shuttle is then pounded by blasts from not only the
Joes' shuttle but the members of the Joe team who emerge from the booster,
but as the Cobra space ship is destroyed, Cobra Commander escapes and flies
back to Earth. The Defiant lands on airstrip, however, two Cobra Sea Rays
streak out of the sea and attack the Joe shuttle.
