	''The Sparklers and Magnus intended to join the Wreckers in going to Earth to stop Galvatron once and for all, but when an Autobot patrol discovered the corpse of their scout [[Chameleon (G1)\|Chameleon]], they traveled to [[Tyrest]] to investigate. Sizzle was the one who insisted the group look into the seemingly abandoned [[Jekka Amphitheatre]], after their initial search proved fruitless, leading them to stumble upon an illegal gladiatorial combat racket. They were surrounded by enemy forces and taken captive by the alien [[Zabra]] and his Firecon allies. The three Sparklers were forced to wait in prison while Ultra Magnus fought a [[Hooligan (G1)\|massive, multi-armed alien]]. Guzzle and Sizzle faked a violent argument, drawing the guard near and giving Fizzle the chance to knock him cold. One quick escape later, the Sparklers decided to stick around and help Magnus stop the death-games rather than catch the dimensional alignment that the Wreckers used to jump to Earth. This turned out to be the right course of action, as they were just in time to blast several Decepticons who were about to shoot Magnus in the back.'' {{storylink\|Deadly Games!}}		''The Sparklers and Magnus intended to join the Wreckers in going to Earth to stop Galvatron once and for all, but when an Autobot patrol discovered the corpse of their scout [[Chameleon (G1)\|Chameleon]], they traveled to [[Tyrest]] to investigate.

	Sizzle was ''next'' seen in a Decepticon prison with his comrades when he, [[Fizzle]], and the [[Triggerbot]] [[Backstreet (G1)\|Backstreet]] suddenly became qualified for a "work-release program". Sent ''back'' to Earth, they were used as running dogs for [[Scorponok (G1)~~/Marvel Comics continuity~~\|Scorponok]] to test out his new plan—human bounty hunters armed with Decepticon technology and let loose to capture the Autobots for him. The plan worked TOO successfully, as these [[Roadjammers]] attempted to capture some Decepticons as well. In the end, Sizzle and his fellows Autobots helped the Roadjammers escape Decepticon retribution. Afterward, they presumably either returned to Cybertron or made contact with the [[Ark (G1)\|Ark]]. {{storylink\|Ca$h and Car-nage!}}		Sizzle was ''next'' seen in a Decepticon prison with his comrades when he, [[Fizzle]], and the [[Triggerbot]] [[Backstreet (G1)\|Backstreet]] suddenly became qualified for a "work-release program".
