Before long, [[MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll she's a hostage in name only]], and actually begins to work ''with'' the demons on their plots, personally befriending the [[PunchClockVillain Demon King]] and his generals in the process.

** In the comic "Roger Roger," a malfunctioning B1 droid gains a personality mid-battle, which prompts the Separatists to capture him and attempt to dismantle him to identify both the cause of the problem and if it could be beneficial to their forces. As a newfound individual, this battle droid, [[MeaningfulName incidentally named Bats]], does not want to be taken apart and studied... so he [[GrievousHarmWithABody rips the arm off another battle droid and begins beating the other droids with it]]. Obi-Wan stages a rescue for Bats, but as it turns out, Bats is doing just fine--it's the ''other droids'' who are only too happy for Obi-Wan to take him and never come back, including one unfortunate and unhappy survivor, a Tactical Droid whom Bats spends an extra-long time beating up (possibly out of spite for the Tac-Droid suggesting they disassemble Bats).
