Mosaic
Fireflight appeared in the Transformers: Mosaic story "Discrete Conduct" by Luke Barnett.[1]
Transformers: Energon
Although released as Windrazor in Transformers: Energon, this homage to Fireflight retained its original name in Japan.
Transformers: Universe
A second toy was released in the Transformers: Universe toy line named Fireflight. This was a Micromaster combiner named Fireflight, a repaint of the Japanese exclusive Sixwing member Flanker.
Flanker's biography says "The kind who's out to please everyone, flanker specializes overall in attacking the weak from behind the protection of the strong. Always alternating in siding with either Chaingun or supersonic, he actually views them both as beneath him. Secretly aiming to take the leader's position for himself."
According to the story for Berserker Sixwing, a computer virus briefly turned the Sixwing team into Decepticons.
Dreamwave Productions
Flanker and Falcon (as Decepticons) appeared and was eaten by the Deluxe Insecticons in Micromaster #2.
