2019 IDW continuity
- First appearance: Transformers issue #13
A sniper in Security Operations, Javelin was called in to help box in Ruckus' Rise cell, who'd barricaded themselves within a Titan corpse in the Cybertronian Mountains. As Javelin reported the situation to Chromia, Kaskade shot her in the head. Though Javelin had survived the attack, albeit in bad condition, Chromia authorized the rest of Security Operations to breach the Titan. The Change In Your Nature Part Two Ratchet was still tending to her head wound some time later. All Fall Down
After her repairs were complete, Javelin took part in the operation to reclaim the Senate building from the newly-christened "Decepticons". Sideswipe complimented her return to action, but she seemed a bit distracted. When Clench turned a rail gun on retreating Autobots from atop the building, Prowl ordered Javelin to counter-snipe him. However, she suffered a panic attack and froze up, unable to perform her duty. Prime
Still shaken from her near-death experience and blaming her inaction for the Autobot casualties suffered during the Senate attack, Javelin quit Security Operations. She asked Ironhide to join the (now-former) Senate Guard and he reassured Javelin that she was welcome despite whatever lingering self-doubt she had. Ironhide realigned the Guard's priority to protecting Optimus Prime and they accompanied him to visit the Pyramid and chat with Perceptor. When the Decepticons launched a massive assault on the Pyramid, Javelin saved some of her new teammates from Obsidian and provided cover fire as everyone was evacuated from the installation. Titans
Javelin was part of a detachment of Autobots that accompanied Optimus Prime to speak with Termagax. They set up a defensive position in front of House against an imminent Decepticon attack. Javelin shared a foxhole with Ironhide, who encouraged her to keep firing as she sniped at oncoming enemies. Sea of Rust II Javelin survived the battle and regrouped with the others in the aftermath. Enigmatic
Notes
- Alex Milne designed Javelin to have one eye because having one eye is cool, not due to being a victim of Empurata.
