Storyline
Snake-Eyes, Scarlett, and Storm Shadow are sent by Hawk on a recon mission to find out about Cobra's latest scheme to replace famous people with robot duplicates, after an airfield owner, renting his field out to Cobra covertly, accidentally finds a crate with an exact duplicate of Pres. Bush Sr. inside. Cobra Commander watches the Joes' mission play out in the housing complex as they fight their robot counterparts. The scheme is foiled when both the housing and assembly complexes are found by the Joes and destroyed separately.

Story Notes
First non-Hama written issue done completely by Herb Trimpe, except for lettering.
Story Notes
Letters from Alan Collins, Christopher Langston, Bryan Sevier, Howard Muncy and Justin Maradiegue. One letter asks the question of, if besides Billy and Zartan, did anyone else escape the freighter trap from issue #98, like Mindbender or Firefly. The answer was given as only 3 escapees total (the third revealed in issue #'s 124-126), but that would later be changed to 4 (issue 139), as the fourth was revealed in that issue during the Joe/Gen. 2 Transformers storyline (#'s 139-142).
