Over the next few weeks, Gauge continued to settle into life on Cybertron, and with Arcee's help she began to try her hand at several prospective careers, oblivious to the rising tensions that threatened to engulf the planet. While working with [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]]'s architectural division, Gauge told Arcee that she'd heard some of the other workers gossiping about her forging, prompting Arcee to confront the 'bots responsible. No sooner had Arcee chewed them out, however, then a great shaodw blotted out the city skyline: the [[Tether]] collapsed, destroying vast swathes of the city. Gauge, her mentor, and Greenlight helped to evacuate survivors and clear debris, but Gauge's curiosity led her to be shot by a looter who'd taken the opportunity to steal some [[energon]] from a nearby storage facility. Although unharmed, the experience provoked Arcee into agreeing with Greenlight: Cybertron was no longer safe and they would be evacuating the planet immediately. Racing through an exploding energon storage field to the takeoff site of the ''[[Exodus (G1 ship)|Exodus]]'', Arcee and Greenlight tried to get Gauge to safety aboard the [[Reversionist]] vessel.

Gauge is a young Cybertronian, mentee of Arcee.
Fiction
2019 IDW continuity
- First appearance: Transformers #4
"I want my hole, Arcee! I wanna be an owl!"
Under the terms of the Nominus Edict, Cybertron's ability to forge new Transformers became greatly limited, limited to only a handful of forgings every kilocycle; Gauge's creation was thus something of an anomaly, as she was forged only a few weeks after Rubble. The World In Your Eyes Part Four Some Cybertronians saw this as a political move, one designed to distract Cybertronians from the recent murder of Brainstorm, and that her forging had only been authorized because of Brainstorm's death. The World In Your Eyes Part Four Arcee/Greenlight: Run
Like every other newborn Cybertronian before her, Gauge was forged in the great Pyramid in the city of Iacon, where a celebration was held to welcome her into the world. There, she was introduced to her newly chosen-mentor Arcee and Arcee's partner Greenlight; observing these events, Bumblebee noted that she had essentially received two mentors for the price of one. The World In Your Eyes Part Four
Over the next few weeks, Gauge continued to settle into life on Cybertron, and with Arcee's help she began to try her hand at several prospective careers, oblivious to the rising tensions that threatened to engulf the planet. While working with Grapple's architectural division, Gauge told Arcee that she'd heard some of the other workers gossiping about her forging, prompting Arcee to confront the 'bots responsible. No sooner had Arcee chewed them out, however, then a great shaodw blotted out the city skyline: the Tether collapsed, destroying vast swathes of the city. Gauge, her mentor, and Greenlight helped to evacuate survivors and clear debris, but Gauge's curiosity led her to be shot by a looter who'd taken the opportunity to steal some energon from a nearby storage facility. Although unharmed, the experience provoked Arcee into agreeing with Greenlight: Cybertron was no longer safe and they would be evacuating the planet immediately. Racing through an exploding energon storage field to the takeoff site of the Exodus, Arcee and Greenlight tried to get Gauge to safety aboard the Reversionist vessel. Although it initially seemed like Arcee sacrificed herself to let the other two members of her family board the ship, she was able to rejoin them at the last moment, and the three happily embraced as the ship lifted off. Arcee/Greenlight: Run
When the Reversionists discovered Gauge and her mentors on board the Exodus, she was stripped away from Arcee and Greenlight. She was young enough to have her memory tampered with, and was subject to a memory wipe. They indoctrinated Gauge and reassigned her as the mentee of Accelerator. Under Accelerator's wing, she was taught to be a curate of Heretech. Gauging the Truth, Part Two: A Truth For a Truth
Gauge vigorously practiced Reversionism on board the Exodus. Heretech taught the Reversionists revere Primus, performing tasks daily such as devotion and chores. She memorized all of the teachings of her plenary, and dutifully followed instructions for some time, until Gauge noticed a strange code began appearing and disappearing throughout her days on the ship.

She vowed to be more careful as she got close to the plenary's throne. However, Heretech noticed her and blocked her way, demanding to know what she was doing.

Suddenly, Gauge realizes the code was meant specifically for her, and the translation was a word beckoning her to the engine room; "heresy". She knows what she must do, and sneaks inside a closed off sector. Gauging the Truth: Part One
A guard noticed Gauge intruding and began to chase her down. As she ran from them, Gauge realized that despite never running from anything to her knowledge, it felt all too familiar.Arcee/Greenlight: Run The bot chasing her down collides with her as she stops dead in her tracks. Knocking out the guard as they recovered, she ran deeper into the ship. Deep below, she finds the engine room. Gauge finally sees who has been sending her the message; the imprisoned Arcee and Greenlight. Arcee greets Gauge, saying they want to tell her the truth.
My Little Pony/Transformers
Gauge was one of several Autobots who battled for control of a malfunctioning spacebridge, only to be teleported to Equestria as a result of Queen Chrysalis's magic interfering with the machine. Transformation Is Magic
