G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers
WhenCobraunearthed and reprogrammed the dormant Transformers aboard theArkand used them to take over the world, Scarlett was among the first members of G.I. Joe, the anti-terrorist force created to stop them. After hearing fromDochowSnake-Eyeshad lost his voice, face and family in Cobra's initial attack, Scarlett wondered how the ninja could go on after suffering through so much in one day.G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #2Her first duty as part of G.I. Joe was to guard theSPS Centerfrom an attack by Cobra's commandeered Transformers. The attack came, overwhelming and surrounding Scarlett's group until they were rescued by the free agentsBumblebeeandWheeljack.G.I.

Together withStalkerandBeachhead,she attacked the Dreadnoks inBostonand easily took outRipper,Torch,andBuzzerdespite their new cybernetic attack limbs.G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #1She later ended up onCybertronalongside several other Joes and Cobra members.G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #2
When theAutobotsand G.I. Joe made an agreement to decommission all Cybertronian technology on Earth, Scarlett wanted to takeher giant battle mechout for one last spin, and offered Snake-Eyes a round of robo-tag. The game never came to pass, asArea 52was attacked by Cobra and Scarlett had to help fight off theirBattle Android Troopers.They were aided by a team of Autobots, and Scarlett was surprised to see afemale robot.The Art of War #1She left her mech after the team foundCobra Commanderlurking around inside Area 52, but this proved to be a mistake whenSerpent O.R.attacked them. Scarlett was believed to have died when the android brought the roof crashing down on everyone, but she soon reappeared and chastised her friends for thinking she'd die so easily.The Art of War #2
After learning that Serpent O.R. had taken a warpgate to Cybertron, Scarlett and the other followed him. After a brief run-in withcannibalizers,they found Serpent O.R., who promptly captured them with help from his new Decepticon friends. While imprisoned in the Decepticon base, she had a romantic moment with Snake-Eyes, making out with him even after seeing his horribly scarred face.The Art of War #3They later managed to escape when Snake-Eyes hypnotized aguard.The Art of War #4After freeing the Autobots, the Joes fought their way through the base and into Serpent O.R.'s control room, whereOptimus Primewas being held.

After the commander was defeated byHawk,Scarlett met with Snake-Eyes, who offered to continue their game of tag without mechs.The Art of War #5

They were the only members of the team to return to America alive, where they helped foundG.I. Joe.She spent some time checking outSnake-Eyesbefore the Joes were all sent to assault Cobra's base on theFera Islands.The LineAs part of Strike Force One, Scarlett stumbled upon the dormantAutobots,who were promptly reactivated. WhenLeatherneckopened fire onone of them,Scarlett was almost hit by ricocheting bullets, but was saved by the Autobot.Transformed
The Autobots agreed to help G.I. Joe with their mission, allowing them to get rid of Cobra'sDecepticonair forces.Scarlett was distraught to learn that Snake-Eyes had gone missing in the early stages of the battle, butBumblebeetried to comfort her.Trial by FireWhen the Autobots were stopped in their tracks byRumble's earthquakes, Scarlett commandeered Bumblebee's motorcycle form, noting how "sweet" it was that he had "never been driven before". Using Bumblebee, Scarlett jumped above Rumble and dropped a grenade in his face, destroying him. An impressed Bumblebee told her she could drive him any time she wanted to.Wolves
As the Joes approached theTerrordrome,Scarlett started thinking about Snake-Eyes again, only to find that he had returned, with his face horribly scarred. She asked the ninja what had happened, but he merely left again, not wanting Scarlett to see his injuries.TrenchesIn spite of this, the two ended up infiltrating the Terrordrome together. As the duo searched for the enemy'srail gun,they ended up staring right in the face of the giganticBruticus.After locating and arrestingDestroand theBaronessfor crimes against humanity, Scarlett learned that the Autobots had sacrificed themselves in order to destroy Bruticus. Embracing Snake-Eyes, she reflected onDukesaying that there's a fine line between being a hero and being a memory.The Iron Fist
A long time later, in1985,the latest incarnation of G.I. Joe discoveredtwonewAutobots. Along with Duke andStalker,a retired Scarlett figured it was time to tell the new guys about their adventure with the Transformers.Targets of Opportunity

Upon approaching the planetEarth,the artificial intelligenceSynergypresented footage of the Joes in action so that her crewmate, the youngAcroyear,could learn about his potential allies and enemies on the alien world. Scarlett could be seen charging into action alongside Duke and Roadblock on one of Synergy's viewscreens.Unit:E
Transformers vs. G.I. Joe
Scarlett's parents were murdered byCobra Commander.She dedicated her life to G.I. Joe, and vowed not get distracted by mundane activities that "normal" people did until the terrorist was brought down. She was part of a G.I. Joe strike force that stormed a Cobra hideout housing deadlyCreeper bombs,where she announced that she would marry whichever Joe would bring her the helmet of Cobra Commander. Both Snake-Eyes and Duke accepted her challenge. The squad then apprehendedDoctor Venom,who informed the Joes that Cobra Commander was already on his way out of the base. The Joes split up to track down the head of Cobra before he escaped them once more.
Scarlett and Duke came upon Cobra Commander taking off in a CobraRattler,and commandeered another of the planes to pursue him. Things were further complicated whenBumblebeeandStarscreamjoined the fight, but Scarlett managed to get a shot off on Cobra Commander's plane with a Creeper arrow, allowing Snake-Eyes to stab the terrorist through the chest. Cobra Commander also managed to get a shot off, however, and Snake-Eyes was disfigured. Scarlett and Duke managed to rescue Snake-Eyes just as Cobra Commander's Rattler was blown out of the air, and brought their wounded comrade back toT.H.E. P.I.T..Scarlett visited Snake-Eyes as he recovered, Cobra Commander's helm in hand. She asked Snake-Eyes if he was ready to set a date for their wedding, but Snake-Eyes was unresponsive.The Golden Boys
Snake-Eyes then left G.I. Joe, leaving Scarlett distraught. She nonetheless went back on active duty after a brief leave of absence, and met with other Joes to plan out a defense plan when it became known that the planetCybertronwas heading for the Earth. After war was declared between the two planets, Scarlett was assigned to lead a mission to Cybertron with the intent of invading it.I Saw Three Ships
The Joes began their attack on Cybertron by sending down "green bombs" from the air. Unfortunately, when Scarlett targetedTrypticon,she found it protected by a forcefield. The Joes' attempt to bomb the mobile city provoked a counter-attack from the Decepticons, with both Trypticon and the giantDevastatorgunning for the humans. Though Scarlett managed to hold her own during the fight, it wasWild Billthat brought the confrontation to an end by crashing his helicopter into thegestalt.Scarlett then led her remaining troops back to Green Zone 0–8–6, the Joes' temporary base on the alien world. In the dead of night, Scarlett andSnow Jobfound the badly-injured Wild Bill stumbling into the camp. The wounded Joe was closely followed byWheeljack,who triggered a perimeter trap, becoming the Joes' first P.O.W. in the inter-planetary war.Targetmasters
Scarlett then spearheaded a vivisection of their captive, believing the giant to be little more than an unfeeling machine. She changed her mind when Wheeljack began relaying snippets from a presidential speech. She ordered her Joes to put the Cybertronian together just as Wheeljack's friends stumbled onto the scene and launched an attack on the camp. The Joes returned fire, until blasts from both sides rendered all combatants unconscious.Funeral for a Friend
Scarlett was stirred from her slumber byBazooka,with the rest of the combatant soon following suit. Both teams readied to take up arms once more whenGrimlockshowed up, accompanied byBreaker,Jinx,Cover GirlandClutch.Grimlock declared a truce between the Joes and the Autobots had been reached, and both factions partied together to cement their alliance.Form Follows FunctionHenceforth, the Joes stationed themselves withinMetroplex,the mobile Autobot city. Scarlett was posted as a lookout atop its central tower when she spotted Trypticon stomping towards them. Legions of Cobra troops burst forth from the titanic Decepticon, many of which were felled by Scarlett. Just as she was about to be overwhelmed by the enemy's sheer numbers, Duke and Snake-Eyes materialized seemingly out of nowhere. The "three amigos" took care of the remaining Cobra soldiers until their attack eventually subsided. Scarlett then turned to Snake-Eyes to embrace him, but the ninja rebuffed her advances and departed.Everybody Hates Metroplex
In an offensive action, Scarlett slipped onboardthe Astrotrainin order to infiltrate a Decepticon base. She reachedScorponok...
THIS IS MY SERMON
THIS IS MY SERMON
...and woke up in the psychiatric ward of a hospital.Expelled from the Garden
Dr. Mindelbenderand his staff showed her that the "Transformers" and "Joes" were just 1980s children's toys and cartoons, made into part of an elaborate fantasy she'd constructed. She pretended to be 'cured' and recognising her delusions, and was released back to her husband Fred and their two children... but all the while, visions and the voices of the Neb'los clashed throughout her mind and intruded on her day-to-day life, to extent of thinking she had an implant in her head. Friends at her welcome home party looked just like the Joes in her mind. In the end, to "escape" what must be a villainous plot, she killed her family.
Good thing thatwasa big trick.
Scarlett helped other captive Joes bust out of the town of "Springfield" —really part of Scorponok—but returned herself to seek brutal revenge of Dr. Mindbender. After a swift interrogation (and fighting her robot "children" and herself) to learn Megatron was trying to study how human brains ticked, she killed Mindbender after strapping him inside his ownBrainwave Scanner.The Neb’los—beings who once lived on the same site before “Springfield” was built—implored her to kill Scorponok's controllerZarak,which Scarlett obliged. Taking control of the city herself, she returned Bumblebee's still-living head toOptimus Prime.Headmasters
Scorponok (and presumably Scarlett) were present when Prime resurrected BumblebeePax Megatronusand when Cybertron transformed into the body ofPrimus.Escape from Primus
Scarlett took on the nameZkarlett,and she and Scorponok met up with Fortress Maximus, who was now controlled by Snake Eyes. Sharing an emotional moment with Snake Eyes, she encouraged him to trust her—trust he demonstrated by showing her his scarred face.
Zkarlett/Scorponok and Fortress Maximus encouraged Metroplex to transform into robot mode and stand with the Jotobots against the Decepticon horde.Transformers vs. G.I. Joe #12
During the ensuing battle, Zkarlett used the Brainwave Scanner to venture into the Matrix and retrieve the spirit of Optimus Prime. Zkarlett was also present when Snake Eyes killed Cobra Commander, and was one of a group of Joes who attempted to return the Matrix of Leadership to the reborn Optimus Prime.
When the battle was over, and Prime had healed Snake Eyes's face, Zkarlett asked whether the ninja was now truly happy. Snake Eyes finally accepted her marriage proposal, and the two embraced.
Returning to Earth, Scarlett attended Hawk's funeral in Arlington. Later still, she and Snake Eyes (now going by Francis Witwicky) retired to a little log cabin atop Scorponok's tail, where they looked after the also-retiredU.S.7.The pair were invited to the wedding of Brawn and Covergirl, and Scarlett became godmother to the wedded couple's child.The War Never Ends

She was not alright with the fact that she, Hawk andStalkerlacked the security clearance to do deeper into the facility while Savage did.When Eagles Scream
Centurion and Bugly, it turned out, were only the beginning. Only two years later,Megatronwould lead a full-scaleDecepticoninvasion of Earth, culminating in an all-out battle in Manhattan where he was defeated byOptimus Prime.Scarlett and Joe Colton were among the Joe assets called in to assist with the cleanup, the latter lamenting the government's failure to listen to his warnings.Ghost in the Machine
By the time the Transformers had departed Earth, G.I. Joe had become embroiled in a secret war against Cobra. To Scarlett's dismay, the conflict went nuclear and attempts to keep the Joes going fell apart, ending in the team's decommissioning.Secret Raiders
In 2016, shortly after the Transformers had returned to Earth and officially turned the planet into a protectorate of theCouncil of Worlds,Scarlett was called back to action whenJoe Coltontook command of theEarth Defense Command.Scarlett andRoadblockwere tasked with escortingGarrison Blackrockto a classified location when their military convoy was attacked. Their incendiary rounds were ineffective againstSentinel Prime,whose head had taken control ofAlpha Trion's body and then kidnapped Blackrock.White Light
Sometime after that meeting, the real Joe Colton had been surreptitiously replaced by aDire Wraithimposter. Unaware of the subterfuge, Scarlett met up with "Joe Colton"and his oldAdventure TeamfriendMiles Manheimto discuss the surge of extraterrestrial activity on Earth, starting with the Transformers. Scarlett lamented the troubleG.I. Joehad faced in their war againstCobra.While Colton and Manheim discusseda silver alieninCalifornia,Scarlett expressed worry aboutalienthreatsthey were not yet aware of. Colton and Scarlett then revealed to Manheim that the worldwide deposits of Cybertronian super-fuelOre-13were destabilizing, and on the verge of destructive nuclear fission. Believing this to be Optimus Prime's doing, they tasked Mannheim with using the technology of a captive and torturedBlitzwingto disrupt Prime's plans.Secret Raiders
G.I. Joe was later assigned to engage the Cybertronians in the city ofPortlandafter the Ore-13 beneathMount Olympusdetonated. Scarlett gaveMainframethe order to fire missiles atJazz,which broughtArceeto the G.I. Joe who began slicing through the human war machines with ease. Scarlett noted how Arcee alone was overpowering G.I. Joe and that she needed to be taken down before she could summon reinforcements. Except she already had, with Scarlett assumed the newly arrived Optimus Prime was trying to force G.I. Joe into surrendering.Soundwavethen fired an EMP to force the humans to listen, leaving Scarlett and Joe Colton to nearly be crushed by falling planes beforeVictorionintervened. What Scarlett assumed wasa new Cybertronianarrived and quickly atomized Joe Colton and three more Joes, before it flew off just as suddenly. Scarlett took command of the squad and swore revenge on the Cybertronians for the death of their friends.Concorde HymnIn the aftermath, Mainframe andAgent Helixpointed out the inconsistencies between the actions of the silver human sized alien (how it only opened fire on four Joes and no one else) and the Cybertronians to Scarlett but she refused to hear it, determined to kill the Cybertronians.
Back at G.I. Joe headquarters, she learned thatDocalso suspected the new alien wasn't connected to Optimus Prime. She later met withMiles Mayhem,who introduced her toMatt TrakkerandBlitzwing,who begged to be killed. She began to feel sympathy for the Decepticon before Miles forced her away and showed her the specializedM.A.S.K.vehicles that would engage the Autobots in Greece. Scarlett noted that the instant they were deployed the Cybertronians would find a way to track them in the future, but Mayhem brushed those concerns aside.The Divine Source of LibertyShe was later confronted by an angry Matt Trakker for withholding that the Cybertronians were living beings from him. She was later approached by Doc with the data that four Joes killed by the silver alien had non-human DNA. Realizing that the entire chain of command could be compromised, she put out a call toSnake-Eyesto infiltrate Autobot City.O Ship of StateShe later launched an all-out attack on the EDC'sBikini Atollfacility to fight off the Dire Wraiths there, much toMarissa Faireborn's frustration.Thundercracker & Buster Save the WorldOn the mission, her team discovered the damagedSkywarp,who had been left behind by the EDC when they had abandoned the base.D.T.A.

Joe had was integrated network gear that Soundwave could easily shut down. Scarlett was prepared to throw in the towel before Mainframe revealed the classic G.I.

Joe's combined firepower against the monstrousBaron Karza.WhenWindbladeordered Metrotitan to lift off, Scarlett evacuated along with her teammates, and rescued Rom andMatt Trakkerfrom a massive Ore-13 explosion. Though it appeared that Mainframe had perished in the explosion, he had survived insideSoundwave's chest, much to her relief. Back at Governor's Island, Scarlett and Matt had a chat about what the future held for both of them now that G.I. Joe was no longer part of the US government.Valley Forge
WIth G.I. Joe now an international peacekeeping group, Scarlett relocated their headquarters to the sunken wreck of theNemesis,which G.I.

When Marissa Faireborn was properly inducted as Earth's ambassador on theCouncil of Worlds,G.I. Joe watched from theLemuria,where an on-edge Scarlett voiced her concerns about whether or not Earth was truly ready to join the cosmic community. Her concerns were proven right seconds later after Baron Ironblood and his team of villains revealed themselves and ran amok inIacon,forcingStarscreamto shut down the Space Bridge connecting the two worlds. Scarlett orderedDial Toneto analyze the data behind the attack, which led the Joes to storming a secure bunker in theAlpsto try and find a clue behind Colton's motives. Breaching the compound, Scarlett discovered that Colton had deliberately baited her into the trap, having left her a note explaining his motivations and asking her to consider them before pursuing him.First Strike #1Having triggered the base's self-destruct mechanisms, Scarlett's team encountered stiff resistance as an army of Red Shadows nearly prevented them from escaping the detonation of the base. Armed with the knowledge of Colton's plans, Scarlett's Joes went to meet with Matt Trakker and Gloria Baker. Together, they travelled toAutobot Cityto ask Soundwave for use of the Space Bridge. Though the Space Bridge was nonfunctional, the group came up with the idea of piggybacking theM.A.S.S. Deviceoff the Space Bridge's signal as Ironblood's cabal had done. To do so, however, they required the M.A.S.S. Device itself, prompting the alliance to stormCastle Destro.First Strike #2
Riding on Soundwave's shoulder, Scarlett arrived just asSkyburstandStormclashhad finished rigging up the Space Bridge/M.A.S.S. Device hybrid that would allow them to travel to Cybertron. Emerging in the middle of the battlefield, Scarlett tackled Baron Ironblood... only to findDoctor Mindbenderbeneath the mask, a decoy to slow her down while the real Colton made off with the Talisman. Having hoped that Colton had been coerced into his villainous persona, Scarlett was dismayed to learn from Gloria Baker that Colton's real objective was to reach Cybertron's core. Hoping to stop him before he could put his scheme into play, the group headed forMetroplex,only for their path to be barred byStrika.The situation was defused only afterIronhideandSunstreakerarrived. Placed before theCouncil of Worlds,CarceriancommanderElita Onepromptly ordered them all executed.First Strike #3Though Marissa vouched for their rights as Council citizens — prompting Scarlett to lay out what she knew of Colton's plan — the subsequent diplomatic bickering saw Starscream take control of the situation and detain Scarlett and her team in a holding cell. There, she was visited by Optimus Prime. The two shared their thoughts on recent events, prompting Scarlett to open up and explain her history with Colton to Optimus, confessing that she had come to Cybertron, in part, out of a desire to save the man she respected from himself.First Strike #4
The humans were soon freed by Optimus, Arcee and Soundwave with the bi-species group making their way underground to follow Colton's trail. The group made steady progress through Colton's myriad of traps until they came upon a river of acid too potent to cross. Unwilling to accept that Colton could have made a mistake considering the specialization of his team and his meticulous planning, Scarlett bungee jumped into the river, revealing it to be a harmless hologram planted byMiles Mayhem.The group pressed on, arriving at Cybertron's core ahead of Colton. When theIron Ringarrived, Scarlett offered Coulson a chance to stand down before the two sides came to blows.First Strike #5Engaging her former mentor in a knife fight, the two traded philosophy as Scarlett pointed out the futility of Colton's actions, before theCouncil of Worldsarrived to arrest everyone. Kreiger fled in the chaos, prompting Colton to follow him, allowing Scarlett to approach him from behind only for Colton to reflexively impale her with his knife. Scarlett took advantage of his hesitation to remove the blade and beat him down, before Kreiger, revealing himself to be an alien wizard known as "Merklynn", uttered a rhyme that activated theTalismanand turned a portion of Cybertron intoNew Prysmos,before teleporting everyone back to Iacon. On the surface, Starscream attempted to execute Colton before Scarlett intervened. As the humans waited for a Space Bridge back to Earth, Scarlett reflected on the bittersweetness of their victory and that Colton's unwillingness to kill her suggested that there might still be good in him.First Strike #6

Notes
- HerAction Forcetoy gives her birthplace asBelgium[1],though this wasn't canon in Marvel'sAction Forcecomic due to its reprinting theG.I. Joecomic where she's American. Then, a few years later, theunrelatedU.S. group G.I. Joe merged with Action Force. Feel free to feel confused.
- The IDW continuity storiesThe Transformers#56,Revolution#0,andRevolution#2have Scarlett as a Colonel, but herHasbro Heroes Sourcebookprofile mistakenly ranks her as much lower a Master Sergeant.
- Scarlett has been voiced by Transformers alumnaeGrey GriffininG.I. Joe: Resolute,andLisa Ann BeleyinG.I. Joe Spy TroopsandG.I. Joe: Valor vs. Venom.
