Mirage reported this to Optimus who began to track it. The Decepticon second-in-command retreated. They battled Starscream, but were unable to prevent the launch. Sideswipe suspected that the ruins were built over some sort of Cybertronian space port, and the Autobots made their way deeper into the ruins, where Starscream was trying to launch a Decepticon ship into space. After defeating him, Mirage freed Sideswipe from captivity, but came under fire from other Decepticons, when NEST Major Reynolds sent air support and aided the trio. The two Autobots then made their way through the ruins and battled a Decepticon Enforcer on top of a temple. The NEST team sent weapons and repairs for Mirage deep within the jungle where he eventually met up with Bumblebee. He managed to sneak past all the Decepticons on patrol and discovered the entrance to an ancient Mayan temple which had Decepticon markings all over it, suggesting the Mayans built their temples on top of Decepticon technology. Mirage survived, but his weapons and transformation systems were damaged, leaving his camouflage system the only one he could use. Starscream instead threw Mirage off a bridge into a ravine and believed him to be dead. Along the way he encountered Starscream, who tried kill Mirage with mines, but failed. Sideswipe went missing after being tasked with investigating Decepticon activity in Central America, and Mirage was tasked with the mission of finding Sideswipe and completing the investigation.
