We’ve got him, Prowl. Tell Ratch to get the medbay set up, he looks a little bashed up, but his spark signal is strong and he scans just fine.
We’ll have him back in less than two hours, and will have reports ready to present for debriefing when we get there.

Attached are the summarizations of the reports of Jazz’s abduction.
My advice? Next time we send someone to discuss public relations, we don’t send them alone.
Attachment: Document 1: Reconnaissance Team Reports Summary:
Jazz’s spark signature trail located south of the New York/Pennsylvania border by Skyfire. Aerial surveying located a semi and trailer heading south, the trailer large enough to contain Jazz. Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Mirage, Trailbreaker, and Hound joined the pursuit. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker lagged to let the others join them. Hound caught the trail. They caught up with the semi and forced it to the side of the road. Jazz was unconscious in the trailer. The men inside the trailer and cab were taken into custody and handed over to local law enforcement.
Attachment: Document 2: Jazz’s Report Summary:
After being shown to his quarters, Jazz entered recharge. Hours later, he awoke to a strange feeling in his helm and spark. Moments later, he was immobile and unable to access communications. Armored and armed men came into the room and dragged him out into a trailer. From there, the trailer was moved for approximately an hour, then left stationary for some time, then moved again. From conversations overheard by Jazz, the Public Relations team was a front of some men to get their hands on one of us for technological advancement.
