In Gargent 087.0 Kappa, Turbo was the first Guardian to encounter the Spy Changers. Mistkenly presuming them to be Renegades, Turbo attacked the strangers, and he was soon joined by Ace, Hans-Cuff, Wrong Way, Royal-T, Good Knight, Bolt, and Heat Seeker. The Guardians ended up being driven off by the real Renegades, but not before the Guardians captured Silverstreak.
In another Gargent reality, Turbo was a close friend of Guardian leader Leader-1 and also had a rivalry with the Renegade Crasher. Renegade leader Cy-Kill considered that Turbo would have made an excellent Renegade if his life was somehow different.
When the Renegades attacked Earth with Go-Vines, Turbo managed to turn Cy-Kill's own weapon against him by clogging Cy-Kill's Thruster with Go-Vines.
During the Alienapolis Five Million, Turbo, Street Heat, and Sparky raced against Crasher, Spoiler, and Stallion. Even after being disqualified for cheating, Crasher refused to yield to Turbo, but Turbo won the race anyway. Turbo consequently won leadership of the racer civilization, but he declined the position, instead telling them to go their own way.
In another incident, Cy-Kill deliberately allowed himself to be captured and placed in a Guardian prison. When he broke out, his forces severely injured Turbo, prompting Leader-1 and the Guardians to choose to tend to Turbo's medical needs over pursuing the escaping Renegades.
When Cy-Kill ran for President of the United States in order to secretly gain mind-control over the legitimate candidates, Leader-1, Turbo, and Motosan ambushed Cy-Kill in order to foil his scheme.
When the Renegades kidnapped Doctor Turgenova, Leader-1, Turbo, Bent Wing, and Super Couper launched a diversionary frontal assault on the Renegades' base so that their comrades could rescue the doctor.
During the SciFi Con in New York City, Matt Hunter, Raizor, and Turbo were present as they were fans of the alien invasion film Bastille Day. Turbo was dressed as a lead character from The Matrix. The Renegades were also present at the convention to kidnap Doctor Faraji, inventor of the Dynamic Asymmetrical Wavefront Nullifier, ultimately taking both Faraji and Turbo prisoner aboard the Rogue Star. When a Guardian attack disrupted the Rogue Star's power systems, Turbo and Faraji were able to escape, destroy the DAWN, and escape aboard a Space Hawk. Ask Vector Prime
