Fiction

Fun Publications Shattered Glass continuity

After the Dinobots were activated and got loose, the Autobots decided to chase some of them down in the hopes of reprogramming them as troops. Jazz and Goldbug were able to track Swoop to an old observation tower, where they were then joined by Rodimus and Blurr. Jazz wanted to just shoot the "flying monster", but Goldbug pointed out that Optimus Prime wanted it alive. They put it to a vote that the reluctant Jazz should be the one to climb the tower and capture Swoop, their decision backed up by pointed weapons.

Swoop thought the visit from Jazz was the best thing ever, and happily took his "new friend" for a joyride clasped in his claws, much to Jazz's extreme dismay. Goldbug ended up getting Jazz down by shooting Swoop's wing, causing them both to fall to the ground. Swoop was overjoyed that Jazz had broken his fall, saying he loved his new friend for doing that. A squished Jazz told Swoop to shut up and groaned that he hated everybody at that moment. Dungeons & Dinobots

Swoop and Star Saber managed to capture a human tower which they used as a drill to find crude oil, though Swoop had to put up with the other Autobot's complaining. When they were attacked by a trio of Decepticons, Blitzwing's oPod-induced comms interference sent Swoop and Star Saber crashing into each other. Swoop retreated at speed in his pterodactyl form, with Star Saber limping along behind. Blitzwing Bop

He was one of a number of Autobots who captured a group of Decepticons. He enthusiastically tried to attack the prisoners, and had to be restrained by Ratchet and Brawn. Before the executions could start, the Autobots were attacked by R.J. Blackrock, who'd gotten himself some Centurion armor. Despite the armor's defenses, Swoop and Goldbug were able to momentarily restrain it, until Swoop was blasted by one of the remote drones. He didn't have much better luck attacking Sephie Beller, who took advantage of a moment's distraction to use Cliffjumper's glass gas on his claw. A short time after his claw shattered, Rodimus ordered a retreat and the Autobots all returned to the Ark. Transhuman
