Fiction
IDW comics
Jimmy's friend, Verity Carlo, along with Hunter O'Nion, were on the run with Ratchet, who needed repairs, so they fled to Jimmy's garage. Unfortunately they had been followed by the Battlechargers and Jimmy was forced to join them on the run after his garage was destroyed. Infiltration #1
When the Autobots discovered the Decepticons' abandoned Oregon base, Verity, Hunter, Jimmy, Ratchet, and Bumblebee disobeyed orders in order to reconnoiter it. Infiltration #4 Jimmy and Hunter had to be rescued Verity when the Decepticon base began to collapse and almost buried her alive. Infiltration #5
When the Machination seemingly killed Hunter and Sunstreaker while under Optimus Prime's orders to return the humans home, Jimmy consoled Verity when she became visibly distraught, despite her "tough girl" personality. Escalation #1 It was Jimmy's mechanical skill that discovered that the corpse of Sunstreaker was a fake. The hope that Hunter could still be alive compelled Verity, Jimmy, Ratchet, and Ironhide to break Autobot orders again. Jimmy's mechanic skills and Verity's hacking skills led the quartet to Ultralite America, a covert Machination facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Escalation #3 Verity and Jimmy managed to break into the compound, hidden under an auto parts store. Unfortunately, soon after, the two were knocked out with gas. Escalation #4 Ironhide and Ratchet managed to save the duo, but at the expense of Ironhide; the facility exploded, severely damaging Ironhide. Escalation #6
The palmtop which Verity stole was examined by Nightbeat and contributed to the Autobots' decision to relocate the Ark-19. Devastation #1 Unfortunately, the vessel was shot down by Sixshot; Ratchet, Verity and Jimmy ejected in an escape pod before the crash. Devastation #2 Sixshot located the Autobot and his human guests and gave chase. When escape seemed impossible, Ratchet dropped off his human friends for their own protection. Devastation #3
As the other Autobots arrived and battled Sixshot, Verity overheard plans for an all-out human airstrike on the warring parties. She and Jimmy stole a motorboat and police megaphone, using them to warn Ratchet of the incoming strike. With seconds to spare, Ratchet took the two humans along with him as the Autobots escaped via orbital bounce to the orbiting Ark-32. But the process was too traumatic for the humans to endure, leaving them lifeless. Devastation #4 Ratchet did manage to restore Verity and Jimmy's vital signs, but only after a prolonged flatline whose final effects on the pair were unknown. Devastation #5 The Ark-32 then left orbit for Garrus-9, apparently with the two humans still aboard. Devastation #6
Verity and Jimmy apparently survived the ordeal just fine, even getting some new clothes to replace their very smelly Earth duds. They had a joyful reunion with Hunter after his rescue from the Machination. Maximum Dinobots #5
