[[File:PyraMagna-modelsheet.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6]]
A tough, serious, thoughtful commander, '''Pyra Magna''' excels at making the hard choices and transforming challenges that would break others into advantages. Though she has been shaped by the hardships of the Rust Sea, her true strength comes from deep within her Spark. Pyra Magna's soul burns with a powerful flame that fuels her absolute, relentless will to survive. She is the leader of a group of [[Torchbearer]]s. These "Rust Renegades" from [[Caminus]] are explorers who seek out Cybertronian artifacts for preservation. She is dedicated to her job and the [[Mistress of Flame]].

Pyra's internal water system has been compromised by corrosive gasses. She utilizes this unfortunate circumstance to power her Corrosion Cannons, weapons that weaken enemy armor and jam up their gears.

Following the recovery of [[Enigma of Combination|one ancient artifact]], she gained the ability to [[combiner|combine]] with her teammates to form the goliath [[Victorion]].

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===

In the past, the Torchbearers once visited the village where [[Aileron]] lived. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 1: Aphelion|Aphelion}} When [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] re-established contact with Caminus after millennia of isolation, {{storylink|First Contact}} the Mistress of Flame believed that [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]] was the incarnation of the legendary Thirteenth Prime, a belief that Pyra Magna and the six Torchbearers under her command shared. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 3: The Medium and the Message|The Medium and the Message}}


Soon after Caminus entered the [[Council of Worlds]], her team was sent to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to search for the remains of [[Crystal City]]. While combing the [[Rust Sea]], Magna was alerted to a bunch of other Transformers entering the area. Curious, she ordered her team to investigate and fought [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]] attacking [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]]. Attacking ''a [[Cityspeaker]]''?! Windblade told them to leave it but an angry Pyra Magna ordered her team to intervene. She also tried to hold Windblade back when Arcee threatened to destroy some object, as she couldn't allow a Cityspeaker to risk herself for it, until that object turned out to be the legendary [[Enigma of Combination]]. One accident later, and Pyra Magna was part of a new combiner!

After a new and angry Victorion was convinced to stand down and separate, Magna apologized to Windblade for their brief rampage. She also apologized to Arcee, but told her not to call their new state an "abomination"; while she sympathised with Arcee's fear that people would be forced into becoming gestalts, she said they ''had'' become one and had the right to be "what we are". {{storylink|An Uneventful Night}}

The Torchbearers opted to remain in the Rust Sea for a time, still learning to control their new powers. The inhabitants of the wasteland soon learned to avoid them. On one occasion, Pyra Magna and her team appeared to scare off a group of zombified [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]]s. {{storylink|The Transformers: Redemption|Redemption}} 

They remained in exile until [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]] - seeking answers about what it ''truly'' meant to be a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], decided to visit the group. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 1: Aphelion|Aphelion}} Merging into Victorion, the Torchbearers tested Optimus's physical and spiritual resolve. Optimus's agnosticism about the [[Matrix of Leadership]] prompted Victorion to lay claim to the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] and vow to build Optimus into a worthy Prime. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}}

Pyra Magna led the Torchbearers back to Iacon, where they combined and joined Starscream's forces in quelling a Decepticon riot at the space bridge. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}} After Optimus declared [[Earth]] a member of the [[Council of Worlds]], the Torchbearers—still combined—took part in a skirmish against [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]]'s splinter force of Decepticons, but had to fall back after [[China]] deployed its anti-Transformer weaponry. As the Autobots regrouped at [[Thundercracker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Thundercracker]]'s old house, Pyra Magna argued with [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}} 

As a show of good faith, the Autobots began patrolling impoverished and troubled regions around the world. Pyra Magna and the other Torchbearers defended a Middle Eastern girl's school from religious fanatics. The Torchbearers would later travel to the [[White House]] after Aileron went rogue, forming Victorion and extricating the Autobots from the White House lawn. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 2: Edge of the Earth|Edge of the Earth}} The Torchbearers participated in Optimus and Soundwave's joint operation on the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]''. Victorion was torn apart by Galvatron's planetwide Enigma of Combination, and her components were knocked unconscious. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 4: It's Beginning To And Back Again|It's Beginning To And Back Again}} {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 5: As Above...So Below|As Above...So Below}} By the time that the Torchbearers had regained consciousness, the fight had already moved offworld. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 6: No Fair Fights|No Fair Fights}} Pyra Magna led her team as they helped mop up the stragglers, {{storylink|White Light}} but were forced to combine again after the [[Earth Defense Command]] launched an attack on the exhausted Autobots. {{storylink|White Heat}}

The Earthbound Autobots continued to settle into [[Autobot City]], until [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]] abruptly went dormant and stopped communicating with the Autobots. Pyra Magna and Soundwave called Windblade to Earth to see if her cityspeaking talents could help them pinpoint what had gone wrong. The trio worked for many days trying to diagnose each of the [[Titan (IDW)|Titan]]'s systems, but their search turned up nothing. {{storylink|Informed}} Soon, the Torchbearers were called into action to defend Arcee and [[Jazz (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Jazz]] from [[G.I. Joe]] in [[Oregon]], using Victorion's gravity powers to harmlessly take down human aircraft in the wake of Soundwave's EMP attack. {{storylink|Concorde Hymn}}

Back at Autobot City, Pyra Magna's idle speculation about the state of Metrotitan allowed Windblade to correctly deduce that Metrotitan was merely ignoring them, waiting to speak to a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]. Pyra Magna watched as Windblade merged her consciousness with the Titan's, and when Windblade's mind returned from [[Microspace|another dimension]] she and Pyra Magna requested help from Optimus Prime to save the ailing universe from a destructive [[entropy cloud]]. {{storylink|Informed}}

*'''Victorion''' (Giftset, [[2016]])
:''Accessories:'' Cudgel

:Pyra Magna is a [[retool]] of ''Generations'' [[Hot Spot (G1)#CombinerWars|Hot Spot]], with a new head, forearms, chestplate, and some different ladder-boom parts. She transforms into a fire truck resembling a modified Rosenbauer Panther 6x6, with a working ladder-boom. She can also form the torso to super-robot [[Victorion]], though in this mode she can also use any combination of ''[[Transformers: Generations#Combiner Wars|Combiner Wars]]'' or ''Unite Warriors'' limb-bots. Her cudgel forms the hilt of Victorion's sword.

:Many (if not all) samples of Pyra Magna come with [[Misassembly|misassembled]] knee struts. They are reversed on both legs, preventing her knee assemblies from locking in properly for robot mode. This issue was shared with [[Onslaught (G1)#G2BruticusSet|''Generation 2'' Bruticus]]. In an undocumented feature also shared with Onslaught, the backs of her feet can flip out to provide better support.

:She was available only as part of a box set with her teammates [[Stormclash]], [[Skyburst (G1)|Skyburst]], [[Dust Up]], [[Jumpstream]], and [[Rust Dust]]. 

:This version of the mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' [[Megaempress#Unite Warriors 2|Megaempress]].
