'''Jessica Morgan''' is a scientist in the far flung future of 2007. While [[Earth]] still suffers the threats of the [[Great War (G1)|war]] between the [[Transformer]]s, Jessica is well aware of the difference between the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Decepticon]]s.

The men in her life don't have a clue about the difference. They also tend to be jerks.

While testing the new heat resistant metal Jessica's father and her colleague/boyfriend [[Gregory Swofford]] had developed, their ship came across the ship that was carrying the [[Spark|lifeless]] body of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. Gregory was willing to leave it to be destroyed in the impending supernova, as he had been scarred during a fight between Prime and [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. Jessica, however, decided to retrieve it, and convinced Gregory to help her. After loading the body, the sun went nova. The special alloy on their ship succeeded in protecting it from the heat and radiation, but it coated the ship with a strange spore. 

Returning to Earth, Jessica and Gregory met with Jessica's father, [[Mark Morgan|Mark]], who had helped them develop the metal, discovering that the spore that coated the ship induced rage. However, the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] attacked, trying to retrieve the metal for [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]. The [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] arrived to stop them, and Jessica was injured in the battle, paralyzing her. Enraged, Mark and Gregory decided to play god and bring Optimus Prime back to life in an attempt to infect the Transformers with the spores. [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] developed an exosuit to help Jessica walk, but Mark and Gregory, driven by their hatred for robots, forced her to lead the Autobots into a trap. Jessica warned [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] of the trap, but the [[Supreme Commander|Autobot commander]] ran headlong into it when he learned that the scientists had Optimus' body. Unfortunately, the plan worked as intended, and Transformers were infected with the [[Hate Plague]]...which quickly spread all over the world. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

After Optimus Prime was revived by a [[Quintesson]], the [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]] found himself at a loss without the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Jessica recommended that he coat himself with the heat resistant metal she and Swofford developed, as it would allow him to remove the Matrix from the infected Rodimus without being infected himself. Though she was asked to remain in [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], Jessica convinced the Autobots to take her with them to [[Chaar]] to retrieve the metal with Galvatron's help. One by one, they were whittled down until all that remained were Prime, Jessica, Galvatron, and [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]. Upon seeing the metal, Jessica declared that there was enough to coat Optimus with it...which Galvatron heard. Jessica jumped in Galvatron's line of fire, distracting the Decepticon leader enough for Prime and Sky Lynx to disarm him. Unfortunately, [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cyclonus]] arrived and infected both Galvatron and Jessica. However, Jessica's idea worked: with the heat resistant metal, Optimus Prime recovered the Matrix and used it to cure the universe. Upon regaining her senses, Jessica found and embraced Gregory. Some time after, Jessica was present for the apology that her father and Gregory gave to Optimus Prime. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2}}
