'''Firestar''' is one of the members of [[Elita One]]'s [[Female Autobots|Autobot resistance]] and specialized in rescue missions. Practical and unprepossessing, she is nonetheless particularly useful during thefts of [[Decepticon]] [[Energon cube|Energon cubes]], as her vehicle mode is capable of transporting large numbers of them.

Firestar is a close friend of [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] and [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], and entrusted the safety of her protégé [[Flareup (Timelines)|Flareup]] to the latter.

Four million years ago, Firestar tried to board the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], while it was being attacked, with the rest of Elita One's team. The plan failed, and she and the others appeared to be destroyed.

Firestar participated in a raid on one of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s [[energon]] supply stores, and fell under attack when the group was discovered thanks to [[Moonracer]]'s carelessness. They managed to escape and the team returned to their hidden base with the stolen energon.

The Decepticons attacked again, however. Trying to capture Elita One, [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] caused the Female Autobots' underground base to collapse, with most of them in it. They survived and managed to free themselves some time later. In search for their leader, they met up with a team of [[Earth]]-stationed Autobots who had come looking for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|their commander]]. Firestar was briefly reunited with her friend Inferno and together they helped fight off the Decepticons the Earth-stationed Autobots had gotten themselves in a fight with. She remained on Cybertron with the rest of Elita One's team when Optimus's team returned to Earth. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}

Firestar, Moonracer and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] were strolling around on Cybertron after a battle, when they were attacked from behind by a Decepticon. Only Arcee was quick enough to respond in time, blasting the attacker before her friends came to harm. She then chided her teammates, noting that "War seems to be too tough particularly for females" {{sic}}. Firestar noted with horror that this clearly meant that three beautiful women were in three times as much trouble. {{storylink|The Transformers (MC Axis manga)|The Transformers: Arcee}}

Later, Firestar, Chromia, Moonracer and Elita One celebrated their victory over an absolutely ''gargantuan'' Decepticon warrior. Well, Elita brooded, but the others celebrated. {{storylink|The Transformers (MC Axis manga)|The Transformers: Elita One}}

According to [[Ben Yee]], Firestar was planned to have died prior to the events of "[[Descent into Evil]]" to explain the absence. However, this was intentionally omitted from the final version of the convention comic.
