Fiction
IDW Shattered Glass comic
When the war for Cybertron broke out, Slipstream was part of a pirate gang lead by Captain Cannonball, and eventually they joined Megatron's Decepticon movement fighting for freedom. However, all including Slipstream were left to despair when Cannonball died to protect them from Rodimus. The crew drank away their sorrows at the bar when a resurgent Megatron approached them and recruited them into the Decepticon cause. Though Megatron initially believed Slipstream to be Cannonball's successor, he was soon corrected that Flamewar spearheaded the crew's passion for justice.
In the climax of the battle on Earth, Slipstream and Thundercracker had to hold back a furious Flamewar, who blamed Starscream for leaving Megatron behind to the mercies of the Autobots.
In the present day, Slipstream and the rest of the Rising Sea crew were some of the Decepticons that answered the call to aid the crisis in the Static Zone. Slipstream urged Flamewar to show caution, but Flamewar riled up the rest of their crew, and they all charged into battle against the Autobots. On the sight of Rodimus, Flamewar immediately attempted to murder Cannonball's killer. Slipstream tried her best to temper Flamewar's hotheadedness, wishing that Flamewar would see that the rest of her crew will always be there for her. However, in the resulting battle, Hailstorm was killed and Flamewar was captured.
Flamewar was able to escape, and Slipstream arrived just in time to aid Flamewar in a confrontation against Slicer. While the two Decepticons were initially outmatched by the Wrecker, Flamewar fired upon Slicer and sent the Wrecker tumbling out of Metroplex. Slipstream helped Flamewar to escape, only to find that the Autobots and Decepticons are waging battle outside.Shattered Glass II #4

Notes
- Slipstream and her relationship with Flamewar are largely inspired by their counterparts from the then-recent 2019-2022 comic continuity by IDW Publishing, where Slipstream was also the mature senior to the hothead Flamewar in Team Stream of The Rise. Accordingly, Shattered Glass Slipstream shares a body design with IDW Slipstream, who was given an original interpretation of Cyberverse Slipstream's design by Anna Malkova, distinct from the Siege Voyager Class Starscream design used for Slipstream's jet comrades.
