G.I. Joe Meet the Transformers
Scarlett and several other Joes were overseeing a test of Power Station Alpha, which was interrupted by the appearance of a giant transforming robot. After the Transformer was destroyed, it was followed by a much larger robot which called itself Superion. G.I. Joe's forces were overwhelmed by Superion, so Scarlett called for backup.
The Transformer they destroyed was eventually determined to be their friend! Scarlett stood nearby while Mainframe attempted to rebuild him. As the Autobot Ratchet arrived to help, it was announced that Cobra would be teaming up with G.I. Joe and the Autobots against the Decepticons to keep them from destroying the world with Power Station Alpha. The newly rebuilt Transformer, now named Goldbug, escorted Scarlett and the Baroness to Power Station Alpha with the intention of placing detonators inside. Without G.I. Joe's consent, Baroness set the timers prematurely, much to Scarlett's frustration.
G.I. Joe Starring Snake-eyes/Generation 2
While Scarlett was pretending to have defected to Cobra, Snake-Eyes was forced to stab her to convince the terrorist organization of her new allegiance. While none of her vitals were damaged, she was nevertheless hospitalized at the Cobra's castle fortress, where Cobra scientist Doctor Biggles-Jones confronted her about her true intentions.
Just as Dr. Biggles-Jones had revealed that she too was a double agent, the newly rebuilt-by-Cobra Megatron snatched her away, wishing to experiment on the scientist's brain. Scarlett, despite her wounds, fought her way out of the Cobra compound and confronted Megatron. Her audacious ultimatum was cut short when a small group of Autobots sent by Optimus Prime (Hot Spot, Brawn, Chase, Override and Steeljaw) arrived to attack Megatron. While the large-scale battle raged, Scarlett used the opportunity to attack Cobra Commander. A save by Snake-Eyes reunited the pair.
With all of the Autobots destroyed (minus Skydive), Megatron stole the Ark with Dr. Biggles-Jones still in tow. It was Skydive and Spike Witwicky who managed to sneak aboard and bring the doctor home, though at the expense of Witwicky's life. Returned to safety, Dr. Biggles-Jones greeted Scarlett with a much-needed hug.
