Spoilers for this title

Quick recap

Scarlett, the Joes' spy, is in Monaco watching a human-trafficking ring when she spots Jinx, a friend missing for two years, now working as an armed escort. Against orders she jumps into the fight and gets some of the hostages out. Stalker then lends her Snow Job to reach the Arashikage clan, since he's after a weapon the clan is guarding. Scarlett storms the compound, offers herself to the Hard Master in exchange for Jinx and ends up helping the clan recover the prize from a rival clan: a sword glowing with Energon. In the end Cobra Commander strikes with missiles to take it; Scarlett, Jinx and Storm Shadow escape by jumping off a building, and she chooses to stay close to Jinx and the clan.
