"Ashes, Ashes...", GI Joe and the Transformers#3 (March 1987), with credits to Michael Higgins (script), Herb Trimpe (pencils), Vince Colleta (inks), Nelson Yomtov (colors), Joe Rosen (letters), Bob Harris and Don Daley (editors)
The Decepticons are making plans with their new allies Cobra, i.e. they plan to betray them at the first opportunity. After a brief meeting, Dirge goes with Cobra and Dr. Mindbender stays with the Decepticons.
Back with the Joes, Blackrock is busy briefing the team, also stressing they just killed Bumblebee. Mainframe (computer expert) disagrees about the last part.
Senator Larkin, who's been acting very suspicious these past two issues, is having a chat with the Baroness. Yup, turns out she was a Cobra asset this entire time. Hawk is not happy.
Back at the Joe base, Bumblebee is brought back online, sort of. His brain and voice box are fine, the rest of his not so much. Bumblebee is not happy.
Cobra and the Decepticons attack the Autobots base, but wouldn't you know it, somehow Dirge's gun jams and Cobra switches sides to help the Autobots. A sign of good faith, you see.
Yeah, the Cobra is now throwing with the Joes, since Cobra found out the Decepticons plan to turn Earth into a burnt husk. Since they keep their stuff there, that is a problem.
Good payoff and nice to see the world being expanded.
