From Transformers Wiki
| This article is about the Earth game. For the Renegade GoBot, see Jig Saw. |
Jigsaw puzzles are a strange game invented by humans, in which they take a picture broken into many pieces and attempt to reassemble it. Silly humans! If you wanted the picture intact, why did you break it in the first place?
These puzzles can keep humans distracted for hours. It's lucky Megatron hasn't discovered this fact, or his takeover of Earth would be made simple by an aerial drop of uncompleted jigsaw puzzles.
