{{noteukexclusive|Smeltdown}}
Smeltdown was part of a marauding group of mutants who encountered the young [[Autobot]]s [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]], [[Flattop (Marvel)|Flattop]], and [[Subsea]] in the [[Underworld]] when the trio foolishly decided to take the ancient Autobot "trial by fire". Smeltdown slew Flattop, and subsequently died in a spectacular explosion when Tailgate ruptured the gas tank in his furnace, taking [[Jackhammer (G1)|Jackhammer]], [[Slayride]], and [[Warhead]] with him. The flames caused by his fiery death soon served as a funeral pyre for [[Rotgut]], {{storylink|Underworld!}} and the explosion ruptured the barrier between the Underworld and the lower levels of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], allowing the [[demon]]s to escape. {{storylink|Demons!}}
