Spearhead appeared in the Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric episode 44 story "Of Rocks and RoGuns Part 2". Though Marbles had eluded Magmar's hunting parties he was discovered by Saberstone and Spearhead.

Before she could finish the job, she was driven off by Boulder and his tribe.[2]

Saberstone and Spearhead appeared in the episode 64 story "Combiner Wars Part 1" where they observed the visit to Quartex by officials from Earth and GoBotron and reported to Magmar.[3]
