** The aptly named ''A Prototype Has Vanished'' story involves the theft of a prototype fighter plane that can take off and land vertically. [[spoiler:The heroes are ultimately able to track it down and destroy it, but not recover it.]]
** Mostly downplayed: more stories revolve around not the theft of the prototype itself, which would be too dangerous and complicated, but information about them that would enable the thief's employers to duplicate their technology or at least prepare countermeasures against them. A mole in one of the eighties story arcs nearly escapes with a series of close-ups of the United States' (still top-secret at the time) stealth aircraft. In a pinch, ''destroying'' a prototype can also be a plot point.

* ''ComicBook/BlakeAndMortimer'':
** The first story arc, ''The Secret of the Swordfish,'' revolves around attempts by the [[YellowPeril Yellow Empire]] to steal the titular weapon for themselves. They initially try to capture the (still incomplete) prototype and all the research that went into it by capturing its home base during the blitzkrieg in which they conquer Britain, but the heroes destroy everything before making their escape to a hidden base where they intend to rebuild it and turn the tide of the war. Much of the story then revolves around the Yellows' attempt to recover the plans of the Swordfish, or force Mortimer to build them their own prototype.
** The Yellows' obsession with the Swordfish is ultimately their undoing: when they finally discover the secret base where they're being rebuilt, one of their generals points out that they could easily just [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim destroy the base with nuclear weapons]], ending the resistance and the threat of Swordfish weapons once and for all. This plan is rejected in favor of a conventional assault because the Emperor wants to seize the base and its weapons intact. This allows the resistance to complete the construction of two Swordfish, which promptly annihilate the attacking force, and turn the tide of the entire world war.
** A much later story, ''The Last Swordfish'' is set soon in the aftermath of the world war and involves the theft of one of the prototypes on their way back to England by an IRA cell working with ex-Nazis that intends to use it to destroy London. [[spoiler:The plan fails.]]
