			*Jazz deploys his overhead flamethrower to burn the Insecticon eggs. Notably, this may be the first time it has been "correctly" depicted in a comic book, being based on his [[Jazz (G1)/toys#The Transformers\|toy]]'s shoulder-mounted missile launcher, since the [[Marvel Comics\|Marvel]] artists consistently drew Jazz's handheld [[photon rifle]] whenever it was called for.

	Jazz and Marissa continue to speed away from the horde that attacked them, and they take cover inside of a [[Crothers Auto-Body\|parking garage]]. Inside, the two find several mutilated copy bodies, and realizing how bizarre the situation is, they come clean to each other. Jazz reveals that the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dinobots]] arrived on [[Earth]] millions of years prior to the awakening of the Autobots and [[Decepticon]]s on the ''[[Ark (G1)\|Ark]]'' to fight the Insecticons—assumed to have been left for dead. Before more details can be exchanged, the couple is forced to continue their retreat. Finding a cache of glowing green eggs, Jazz chooses to ask questions later and uses his flamethrower to burn all the eggs he can.
