Fire
From Transformers Wiki
- Fire is an Autobot Micromaster from the Victory portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
As a member of the Rescue Patrol Team, the function of Fire (ファイヤー Faiyā) is to rescue bystanders, not engage in battle. Yet it's impossible for him to deny the call of his burning spirit driving him. In his spare time he enjoys hanging out with Jan and ridiculing his team's leader, Holi.

Zone cartoon
When Victory Saber initiated the "Zone Project", the Rescue Patrol helped rebuild planet Micro into planet Zone. To counter this threat, Violengiguar began conquering planets in order to create his own Decepticon Zone. The Race Car Patrol and all other Micromaster teams were then sent on patrol across the galaxy, specifically to planets where their unique skills could do the most good. Zone Part 1
When Bruticus attacked the planet Feminia, the Rescue Patrol were among several units of Micromasters deployed to stop him. Through teamwork, they proved triumphant. Zone Part 2
When the Nine Great Demon Generals attacked planet Feminia en masse, the Rescue Patrol Team helped evacuate the planet of as many lifeforms as possible. However, they were unable to save Victory Saber, who sacrificed himself to rescue the last of the humans. The Rescue Patrol were later seen cleaning up the Zone Base on planet Zone after another attack by the Demon Generals. Still later, they could be seen celebrating when Victory Saber (who was rescued by the Powered Masters) inaugurated Dai Atlas as new Supreme Commander. Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!
When the Powered Masters flew off to the Tenth Planet for their showdown with Violengiguar, all the Micromaster teams took command of Zone and vowed to keep it safe in their Commander's absence. Zone Part 10

War for Cybertron: Siege
- Stakeout & Red Heat (Micromaster, 2019)
- Hasbro ID number: WFC-S19
- TakaraTomy ID number: SG-21
- TakaraTomy release date: May 31, 2019
- Part of the second wave of Siege Micromasters, Red Heat is a retool of Topshot that transforms from robot to fire truck. He can also combine with his pack-in teammate Stakeout to form the "Binerboost Salvage Blaster," a blaster-weapon for larger figures to wield. As a part of the C.O.M.B.A.T. System, their weapon mode can be attached to any toy with a 5 mm post-hole. "Fire Blasts" can also be attached to their barrels.
- This mold was used to make Siege Wheel Blaze, and retooled to make Fireline.
Legacy
- Victory Saber (Multi-pack, 2022)
- Known designers: Evan Brooks (Hasbro), Hisashi Yuki (TakaraTomy), Guido Guidi (packaging artist)
- Legacy Fire is a redeco of Siege Red Heat as a third-tier bonus included with the crowdfunded Victory Saber, unlocked once the project reached 20,000 backers. Fire transforms into a fire engine with an extending ladder in 4 steps.
- As a redeco of Red Heat, Fire retains the mold's ability to combine with any version of the Siege Stakeout mold, such as the included Holi (a fellow Rescue Patrol redeco), to form a blaster compatible with the 3 mm post (for Fire Blast effects) and 5 mm port C.O.M.B.A.T. System. However, this functionality is unmentioned in the instructions. Should one choose to form this weapon, it can be held by the Victory Leo figure included in the set. However, the weapon is incompatible with Star Saber, as his forearms are too wide, leaving not enough clearance for him to hold it.
- While his deco is broadly "the same colors" as Red Heat, Fire features a deeper shade of red plastic, a much lighter shade of blue paint, a silver face instead of Red Heat's white, painted fists, and altered paint applications on the fire engine cab/robot feet, making him look more like his animation model.
- Victory Saber first started shipping to backers, beginning with those living in China, in November 2022.
- Fire is unfortunately prone to mold degradation.
