[[Image:Hot house MTMTE.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Hi, I'm Hot House! I'm having trouble coming up with a caption for my picture. Let me mull it over for a while. I suppose I could make a joke about my knee. See how it's sticking up there? 'BEWARE MY KNEEPADS OF DOOM!' or something like that. Or maybe my name is funny. 'Hot House.' Hmm"<ref>"It means a heated greenhouse, where people grow tropical flowers. I do like flowers. Red ones set off my optics. Of course, 'hothouse' is also an adjective meaning 'delicate, sensitive.' Y'know, I think I kinda resent that! Sure, I'm not the strongest Micromaster around, but I get by! And firefighting is hard work! *harumph* Anyway, I'm still having trouble coming up with a caption. Let me know if you think of something."</ref>]]

'''Hot House''' is a thinker. He mulls over every problem to the last rivet, often out loud. His fellow Autobots wonder if he should really be left in charge of a large battle vehicle, but his attention to detail actually makes him very good at his job, watching the skies at long-range to defend Autobot installations against incoming [[Decepticon]] attacks.<ref>''[[More Than Meets The Eye (G1)|More Than Meets The Eye]]'' #3</ref>

His [[fire station]] base is also great at shooting at Decepticons bigger than it. Doing any damage is another matter entirely.

Upon the creation of the [[Zone Base]], Hot House was put in charge of the [[Fire station|Fire Base]]. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|Zone Part 4}} When [[Violen Jiger]] kidnapped [[Galaxy Rocket]] and fled to the [[Tenth Planet]], all the [[Micromaster]]s (Hot House included) promised to keep [[Micro|Zone]] safe while [[Dai Atlas (Zone)|Dai Atlas]] and the [[Powered Master]]s pursued the villain. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|Zone Part 10}}

Barricade (G1)

:''Barricade is a [[Decepticon]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:G1BarricadeBoxart.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Raise your hand if you're sure!]]

'''Barricade''' learned how to take care of himself while running with [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s most vicious racing gangs, and he brings that same brutal edge to his position as leader of the [[Race Track Patrol]]. His troops know that the slightest mistake will result in a merciless dressing down in front of the others, and they strive to meet his exacting standards. His hard-nosed, abusive leadership style doesn't do much for morale, but he figures it's for their own good.

{{note|In Japan, "[[Motorhead (Decepticon)|Motorstar]]" leads the "Race Car Patrol Team" rather than Barricade.}}

==Fiction==
===''Zone'' story pages===
Following [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]]'s defeat at the hands of [[Roadfire|Road Fire]], the Race Track Patrol were introduced as rivals of the [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]]s. They were described as being former Autobot Micromasters who defected to the side of the Decepticons, fueling the rivalry. They never actually took part in any battle. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 9}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Originally named "Runner", Barricade was created as part of a cross-factional experiment in which new Micromasters were allowed to function as neutrals, and to choose their own affiliations. Runner quickly saw the potential rewards of joining the Decepticons, and earned the new moniker "Barricade" in recognition of his blockade-running tactics. He was "scouted" by [[Bombshock (G1)|Bombshock]] and other Decepticons, and soon began preaching the Decepticon way to any Micros who would listen. When the [[Meltdown Riots]] hit, Barricade convinced a number of Micromasters to join him and officially sign up with the Decepticon cause. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}

Barricade eventually became leader of his own squad, the Race Track Patrol. After a time, however, he became disillusioned with the Decepticon leadership. The full-sized "guzzlers" hoarded the ever-scarcer energon supplies in the Decepticon camp, despite the significant contribution by Barricade and his men to recover that energon in the first place. [[Shockwave (G1)|Commander Shockwave]] did nothing but tell them to file a formal complaint, and so Barricade finally quit the Decepticons, taking the Race Track Patrol with him. {{storylink|Destined for Nothing}}

Out in the [[Wastelands]], Barricade's team ran into their old rivals, the Autobot [[Hot Rod Patrol]]. [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]] and his crew had come to a similar conclusion about the Autobots, and were looking to strike out on their own. Both groups made their way to [[Little Iacon]] to regroup and ponder their futures. {{storylink|The Gray Race}} When [[Venom (G1)|Venom]]'s Insecticons arrived in Little Iacon looking for the Hot Rod Patrol, Barricade broke tradition to side with a faction instead of his fellow Micros, in order to secure safe passage for his team. Back at Decepticon headquarters, Barricade discovered [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] (a high-ranking Micro newly returned from space) had secretly overthrown Shockwave and put the Decepticons on the path to total war. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}}

Skystalker was preparing a skirmish to wipe out the guzzlers altogether, and he wanted Barricade and the Decepticon Micromasters to stand with him in the new world order that would rise up afterwards. Listening to Skystalker's speeches, however, Barricade came to realize just how much the Decepticons had duped him in the past, using him to recruit the other Micros, but never truly respecting him or his fellow 'bots. Barricade convinced his team to join up with the Autobot Micros who had been taken prisoner in Little Iacon, and they responded to the scene of the guzzlers' battle, bringing an end to the conflict. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}

High Halls

2011-08-03T22:35:20Z

98.204.121.74: minor

:''The High Halls is a building on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] from the [[Energon (franchise)|Energon]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:This Evil Reborn High Halls.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice...]]
The '''High Halls''', also known as the '''Halls of Justice''', is the capitol of [[Cyber City]], itself the capital of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] gathers there, be it in person or per hologram transmission known as the '''Amalgamation''', to discuss the best course of action for Cybertron to follow. The building houses a [[space bridge]].

==Fiction==
===Dreamwave ''Energon'' comics===
What remained of the [[Loop]] after [[the Unicron Battles]] was demolished to make room for the construction of the High Halls. [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] met with the Council in person there when he requested resources to investigate the true fate of [[Unicron]] after [[The Unicron Battles|his defeat]]. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}} When his plea was rejected a first time, he returned with [[Hub (Energon)|extra arguments and evidence]] of Unicron's continued existence only to be allowed to an investigation if he would do so alone. This prompted Optimus to storm out of the Council's chamber in barely contained frustration, although the other [[Autobot]]s' concern caused him to accept the little permission he had been given at all. Of course, all of that was turned moot when [[Unicron's Four Horsemen]] attacked Cyber City and the High Council understood the urgence of Optimus Prime's request. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath}}

[[Image:Multiplicity Jetfire before High Council.jpg|left||250px|thumb|]]
Due to the battle with Unicron's troops, the Autobots didn't notice an SOS call from [[Earth]] received by the High Halls' computers until over four hours later. So when they finally learnt of it, they swiftly hopped into the local space bridge entrance to get the [[Energon (Energon)|Energon]]-mission started. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Three}}

After having spent some time on Earth, Optimus wanted to return to Cybertron to ask the Council for reinforcements and more resources. However, he disappeared during his travel by space bridge. {{storylink|Omni-Potent}} [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] then travelled to Cybertron to talk with the Council in Optimus's stead. He met up with [[Prowl (Armada)|Prowl]] in front of the High Halls to hear there still was no trace of their leader, and complained to him all the way to the Council's room how he didn't wnat to have to deal with the Council. This turned out to be a bit premature, because the High Council did initially refused him the extra resources, councilor [[Avalon]] presented a solid argument for the Autobots' case that got the Council to reconsider their decision. {{storylink|Multiplicity}} Shortly thereafter, Avalon approached Jetfire with the news that the Council greenlighted everything: whatever would be needed for the mission, they would get it. Jetfire thanked Avalon deeply, but their friendly talk was cut short when Prowl brought in news of a massive [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] attack on Earth. Greeting Avalon, Jetfire and Prowl swiftly left the High Halls to prepare and join the battle. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 2}}

Once the battle was over, Jetfire returned to the Cybertronian High Halls to speak with the Council, who gathered by use of the Amalgamation this time, about the recent return of [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] and a minor clue on Optimus Prime's whereabouts. {{storylink|No Exit}}
{{--}}

==Notes==
* Despite that the building was referred to as the Halls of Justice only twice in the comics, ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]'' has its entry under that name. Further confusing is that the entry is found in the ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' section rather than in an ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' section and the image used depicts the [[Loop]] rather than the Halls of Justice. Then again, this is not the only time ''Transformers: The Ultimate Guide'' would prove a little less accurate than the name would suggest.
