Uncle Sam, of course, longs for the old days when Zeta blew the opposition away and followed orders like a good droid. Batman and Max realize that Zeta has developed quite the human soul and they sign on to do whatever they can to help. Max figures out how to cloak Zeta's locator signal just as G.I. Joe catches up to our trio for the last time. Crushed and on fire, Zeta is blown off a rooftop and falls to the ground below. Zeta morphs into a human facade of its choosing and it gets on a monorail heading out of town.
Batman tosses an explosive so that it appears that the robot self-destructed.
We know the fatigue-dudes will eventually figure out what happened but for now, at least, Zeta has the chance at a peaceful life. I got chills, they're electrifying. It's a nice message wrapped up in a pretty cool action show and peace gets the last laugh. Maybe Terry McGinnis will fool us all and go into politics. Now if only we could work in Catherine Zeta Jones.
