Spy Troops: The Movie1st of 3 Reel FX films. Written by Larry Hama. First aired September 27, 2003.Previous story: The Legend of Metal-Head Next story: Valor vs. Venom |
G.I. Joe stages war games to test Hi-Tech's new M.I.R.C. system that allows Wild Bill to pilot his Night Attack Chopper by remote. Zartan, impersonating Shipwreck, steals the M.I.R.C. and the Chopper during a decoy Cobra attack on the Joes' base, taking Scarlett along as a prisoner. Shortly thereafter, the real Shipwreck is found tied up at Joe base. Duke orders Shipwreck and Snake Eyes to infiltrate Cobra Mountain to destroy the Chopper, rescue Scarlett, and prepare for a Joe raid.
Snake Eyes quickly plants a bomb on the Chopper and frees Scarlett, and Shipwreck disguises himself as Cobra Commander to get the access codes to the main door and base defenses. But the bomb is deactivated and Shipwreck is caught as the Joes' attack begins. One of the Crimson Guards turns out to be Agent Faces, a new G.I. Joe agent, and he opens the main door, allowing the other Joes to storm the enemy base.
Cobra activates its newly improved B.A.T.s, who are impervious to the Joes' weapons and controlled by Destro and the Baroness via the stolen M.I.R.C. headsets. As Snake Eyes duels Storm Shadow, Duke and Scarlett attack Destro and the Baroness, destroying the headsets and rendering the B.A.T.s powerless. Cobra Commander tries to flee in the stolen helicopter using a third M.I.R.C., but he loses control while fighting the Patriot Grizzly, and the craft crashes. Debris from the explosion causes a chain reaction that destroys the Cobra base, though all the Joes are able to escape.
