Optimus journeyed to the core, purifying it and obtaining the Matrix of Leadership.

After Sentinel's funeral in Iacon, Optimus asked Jazz if he believed the Thirteen original Transformers existed, to which he replied he didn't, though he saw great metaphorical value in them. Jazz went with Optimus and Prowl in rescuing Sentinel Prime from Kaon, getting briefly paralyzed by a guard's whip, though he was still able to hear Sentinel's last words. When Megatron came to Iacon to steal the Plasma Energy Chamber, Jazz fought with Omega Supreme against the Darkened Decepticons, but Megatron was too powerful and took the Chamber to contaminate the core of Cybertron. Jazz suggested they continue to fight back. Autobots continually had to flee whenever Darkened Decepticons appeared, but Optimus realized Dark Energon was inefficient and Decepticons always had to retreat if a battle was prolonged. Though faster than any Decepticon and able to evade them, the Darkened gladiators wiped out his six-member unit. Indeed, it was Jazz's team that first encountered Darkened Decepticons at Maintenance Port A46, along the Iacon- Kalis energy conduit. Alpha Trion then said Megatron's weapon was Dark Energon, the essence of Unicron, and Jazz stopped joking when he realized a confrontation with superpowered Decepticons was imminent. Alpha Trion explained Energon was the emanation of Primus, to which Jazz quipped he still didn't know what that was, prompting laughter from Ironhide and Prowl. Jazz joked that it was time for school, but Prowl chided him for making fun at Alpha Trion's expense and that if the Archivist had something to say, it was important. He asked them what they knew about energon. Jazz was with others in Optimus's inner circle- Bumblebee, Ironhide and Prowl-when the war turned into a siege of Iacon and Alpha Trion informed Optimus of a new weapon aboard Trypticon Station. He, Optimus and Sideswipe led the Autobots to victory at Kalis by taking down the combiner Bruticus Maximus. After Orion was promoted to Optimus Prime, Jazz joined his Autobots and told him not to mourn every lost soldier following the capture of Fort Scyk. Jazz attended the High Council's hearing with Orion and Megatron and gestured to Orion to be strong in the face of the Council's accusations. Jazz was suspicious of Megatron though, and warned Orion that he was the sort of bot that would kill him if he felt he betrayed his ideas.Īfter terrorists committed acts of violence in Megatron's name, Megatron took Orion to a gladiatorial pit in Iacon, exposing Jazz's secret. Orion practiced self-defense with Jazz following a suggestion in his and Megatron's brainstorms. Orion followed his advice, and contacted Megatron (whose name had been shortened by the crowds following a particularly rousing victory). When Orion told him about the gladiator Megatronus and his movement to abolish the caste system, Jazz suggested going to Kaon or that at the very least he should contact Megatronus, considering how much Orion agreed with his ideas. He secretly attended the gladiatorial combat in Iacon. Jazz was a cultural investigator who came to the Hall of Records to analyze new data from the Communication Grid, which was where he befriended Orion Pax.

When war came to Cybertron, Jazz became an Autobot fighting alongside the arisen Optimus Prime with the likes of Prowl, Ironhide, Ratchet, and Bumblebee. Their spitballing and brainstorming during the reverse engineering process forged a strong friendship between them all, especially Jazz and Pax.Īfter the overthrow of the Quintessons, Jazz was present at the lighting of the torch, bringing the light and life of the Well of All Sparks across the Space bridge to Cybertron's first colony world, Archon. Jazz worked with Prowl and Bluestreak (as engineers) and Orion Pax (as their archivist) to study the vehicle. He captured a Quintesson vehicle and brought it back to the order for examination, to understand the Quints' tech as well as they do. Jazz was teamed with Ultra Magnus to, well, steal a car. He was located and hired by Orion Pax (on behalf of Alpha Trion) for his slick moves and knack for covert operations. As Cybertronian tolerance of Quintesson rule began to sour, Jazz became part of the secret order planning to throw off Quintesson oppression. Jazz emerged from the Well of All Sparks sometime during or prior to the Age of Wrath.
