Comics

Bent Wing appeared in the Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric episode 1 "Rebels Without a Circuit" by Fun Publications. She was among a group of Guardian cadets called the Robo Rebels accused of being in league with the Renegades and imprisoned into GoBotron Stockades.[2]

Bent Wing appeared in the Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric episode 2 "Fugitives". The Robo Rebels excaped the GoBotron Stockades. Making their way to see Bladez, they discovered he was actually a Renegade agent who has planned an ambush of the Guardian fleet at Alpha Centauri. After escaping Bladez' ally Creepy, the Rebels attempted to warn Leader-1, but were too late to stop the fleet from taking off.[3]

Bent Wing appeared in the Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric episode 7-8 The Hawks of Space. In the story she was part of a diversionary assault on the Renegade base on the dark side of the moon.[4]

Bent Wing was also featured Echoes and Fragments, a story set during the 1986 film The Transformers: The Movie where the manipulations by the evil Gong and Sideways resulted in various GoBots swapping places with characters during the events of that film. Bent Went took the place of Arcee in some parts of the story. After movie bodies of Sparky and Professor von Joy from the battle field at Guardian City, Bent Wing and Super Couper joined Tail Pipe, Raizor and Daniel Witwitky in moving a Boomer into place to try to stop Megatron and Devastator. She later witnessed the Decepticons retreat from the battle after Megatron was injured. She was present when Leader-1 died of his injuries from his battle with Megatron.
