| This article is about the Micromaster. For the building that is sometimes a character, see Hot House (facility). |
- Hot House is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
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.[2]
His fire station is also great at shooting at Decepticons bigger than it. Doing any damage is another matter entirely.
