Resumen:
As the Ark travels from Earth to Cybertron, Megatron allows himself a brief moment of celebration -- he's beaten Cobra, G.I. Joe, and the Autobots, he has captured the human scientist, Dr. Biggles-Jones, and he has been rebuilt in a stronger and more powerful form, ready to restore the Decepticon empire. Watching secretly from the shadows, Spike Witwicky vows to stop him, and soon finds the battered, headless body of Fortress Maximus elsewhere in the Ark.
Back on Earth, a convoy of Cobra trucks leaves Millville with a load of technology from the Ark, protected by a column of HISS tanks. Hotspot, the only surviving Autobot from Cybertron, must destroy the trucks in order to prevent Cobra from acquiring the advanced Cybertronian science. He attacks the convoy, but even with the help of the G.I. Joe team, he still takes damage from the Cobra tanks.
On the Ark, Spike has just donned his Headmaster armor when he is found by Skydive. Spike joins with Fortress Maximus and eases Skydive's fears, then thinks of a plan to stop Megatron. While Megatron repairs a robot in the shadows, Skydive frees Dr. Biggles-Jones, and Fort Max ambushes Megatron. Unfortunately, Megatron is stronger and healthier than Fort Max, and easily trounces him. Skydive returns, attacking Megatron in retaliation for the deaths of the other Autobots, and Fort Max flees for the engine room.
Hotspot finally destroys the last Cobra truck, but to no avail -- he's cornered by Cobra, who plan to study him in replacement of the destroyed Cybertronian technology. Refusing to let himself fall into Cobra's hands, Hotspot self-destructs.
Though Fortress Maximus gives Spike a chance to escape, he refuses. The two smash through the antimatter reaction chamber, which destroys them instantly. Skydive escapes from the Ark seconds before it explodes. Skydive returns Dr. Biggles-Jones to the G.I. Joe team, and they briefly eulogize the Autobots who have died that day.
Este número sigue los eventos del número 142 de G.I. Joe.
El robot que Megatron está reparando es el traidor Starscream. Presumiblemente es el robot que aparece junto con Megatron en las últimas páginas del número 138 de G.I. Joe, y por tanto también sobrevivió al choque del Arca contra la Tierra (número 78 de la serie original).
"Ghosts" se publicó por primera vez en Octubre de 1993 en Transformers Generation 2: Halloween Special Edition.
