Dr. Brian Jones is humanity's leading expert on Energon research, dedicated to resolving energy crises on Earth and Cybertron. A physical engineering graduate from MIT, he mentored Rad White, who subsequently connected him with the Transformers. Jones is married to Miranda Jones and has two children: Kicker and Sally. His personality exhibits pronounced eccentricity, marked by inappropriate laughter and social quirks. His relationship with Kicker reveals ambiguous morals; Jones often treated his son more as a tool than family, exploiting Kicker's innate ability to detect Energon deposits—a gift from Primus acquired during a childhood trip to Cybertron. This exploitation involved dragging Kicker across planets to locate Energon, causing the boy significant trauma and lasting resentment, though Jones occasionally displayed concern during critical moments. Professionally, Jones established hidden Earth cities utilizing Cybertronian technology for Energon research. Alexis secured loose Earth Federation sanction for these secret projects, later abandoned during the Terrorcon invasion. His inventions include the Energon Tower defense system, generating protective fields lethal to Terrorcons and damaging to Decepticons; Decepticons later corrupted this technology to produce toxic Energon gas. Jones also designed the warp-capable starship *Miranda II*, featuring a collapsible defense field based on Energon Tower principles. During the Terrorcon conflict, Jones coordinated defenses from Cybertron. He alerted Optimus Prime to Mars City's vulnerabilities, supplied Kicker with battle armor, deployed pre-built Energon mining facilities like Blizzard City onto Terrorcon forces, and activated global Energon Towers to repel Decepticon assaults, including Megatron's artificial comet. His strategic choice to transfer Earth's entire Energon supply to aid Cybertron against Unicron left Earth defenseless, overriding Alexis's objections. Jones later relocated his family to Cybertron. Guided by Primus, he discovered Omega Supreme's hidden chamber, facilitating the giant's support for the Autobots. When Decepticons seized Cybertron, Jones and his family hid in ventilation ducts with Rad White after their evacuation transport was destroyed. He joined a mission to awaken Primus at Cybertron's core, distracting Decepticon forces near a Super Energon reservoir before Ironhide rescued him. In the Dreamwave comics continuity, Jones served as a special consultant for Alterenergy in Western Australia. He directed Rad to rescue Kicker during a Terrorcon attack, resulting in Autobots delivering Kicker's battle suit. After Unicron's defeat, Jones celebrated on Cybertron but faced renewed threats with Megatron's return. Efforts to reconcile with Kicker remained strained, evident in Kicker's irritation during communications and Jones's persistent use of the nickname "Junior."
