Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

J.D. appeared exclusively in the UK portion of the Marvel Comics continuity.

Leaving Mark in charge of firearms, J.D. was tasked with finding the pair of robbers a getaway car. His luck was in - no sooner had he started looking than he found a battered Tracks (stuck in vehicle mode) in a Portland alleyway and, picking up Mark, the two went on to rob a supermarket. J.D. suggested they head east, to New York, and they carried out more stick-ups there.

One morning they set out to rob a bank but were distracted inside by the intervention of a small boy. A cashier sounded the alarm, but J.D. had planned for this eventuality and revealed he was carrying a bomb. Taking the boy hostage with the others, J.D. was ready to deal with the police, but the sudden arrival of Inferno, Grapple and Hoist shocked him into accidentally setting off the bomb.

J.D. and Mark were subsequently rescued from the burning bank, only to be handed straight into police custody. Missing in Action
