Synopsis
Although nominally supposed to be out hunting Decepticons, Jazz is driving through the desert after a stray energy trace, chasing a hunch. The source of the trace turns out to be Space Case, trying to force a gas station attendant to give him all his energon. When the befuddled human expresses confusion, Space Case flies into a rage and accuses the human of making fun of him. Jazz chooses that moment to intervene, opining that Space Case is making fun of himself by trying to rob a gas station. The two fight briefly, with Space Case now convinced that Jazz is also making fun of him[1], before Space Case gets the upper hand on the much smaller Autobot and pins him to the ground with his trident. Jazz is able to ignite the station's underground gasoline tanks, seemingly destroying his attacker, and speed off safely with the attendant.
His victory is short-lived, however, as Space Case comes howling out of the flames, intent on getting revenge on Jazz. Though Space Case is able to get his hands on him, Jazz deftly counters with a series of acrobatic moves and, when Space Case growls at him to shut up, tells the Decepticon not to "knock his hustle". Distracted by Jazz's non-stop shuckin' and jivin', Space Case fails to notice that Jazz's seemingly stray crescent cannon shots have in fact dangerously weakened the cliff face behind him. The resulting rockslide buries the Decepticon.
Jazz apologizes to the attendant for blowing up his gas station, but the human, showing an attitude lamentably uncommon to humans, thanks the "big guy" for saving his life, calling the station "a lousy job anyway". Jazz, tickled at the idea of being "big guy" to someone, tells the attendant to help someone smaller than him in the future, and they'll be even.

- -Space Case insults Jazz's aim; Jazz begs to disagree
Notes
- The comic comes free with Target's exclusive Dark of the Moon Cyberglyphics-themed redeco of Jazz.
- Although the comic is written as a timeless standalone story, it probably takes place between Bumblebee's capture by Sector 7 and the Autobots' meeting at Griffith Observatory.
- Someone must have cut-and-pasted some legalese for the indicia, because licensing information for both Lockheed's Raptor and Sikorsky's Pave Low appear inside the front cover.
Errors
- Jazz is consistently depicted with red details on his biceps that are actually on the backs of his arms on his toy. Since these details are basically hidden out of sight, this may actually be a production error on the toy, with the comic "correct".
