I had a similar problem when I got back to reading GI Joe, but I was motivated to research it and buy things in order.
Particularly when you have stories like COBRA Civil War and COBRA Command where part one of the arc was GI Joe #9 then have part two be Snake Eyes #9 and part three be COBRA #9. Yeah, that can be jarring it is part of the reason I just decided to collect comics in the form of Trades and Hardcovers.

I can see how MASK *might* work, but I still feel like I'd find the Hasbro properties more enjoyable if they remain separate. I'm interested in Rom, MASK, TF, and Joe, but putting them all together just doesn't float my boat.
I'm a guy who thinks both are possible. GI Joe itself has been more fantastical and sci-fi heavy with cloning, artificial intelligence, and Battle Android Troopers existing within the world. So Cybertronians and Space Knights aren't that far-fetched in a world where cloning and BATs exist. However, I also like an interpretation of GI Joe that's more realistic and takes the android soldiers and clones out of the world to ground the world and give the Joes characteristics of real counterterrorism units and COBRA the traits of real terrorist groups. So I would have the ongoing line feature BATs and clones in it while a miniseries can have the more realistic takes on the characters.

It's gotten pretty hit or miss lately. Issue 300 was underwhelming. However, as a Joe I will forever be in Hama's debt for the franchise.
