| '''Blaze''' is an oddity in the Autobot ranks; a hit man. He's a perfectionist who is always out to better his last job. An engineer back on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], he's found a new lease on life by targeting and blowing up [[Decepticon]] installations.

| He ''loves'' this job.

| Blaze served with his "brother Sparkabot" [[Sizzle (G1)|Sizzle]] as an engineer millions of years ago on planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Whether Blaze helped build the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] like Sizzle is unknown. {{storylink|The Official Transformers: Generation 2 Annual|Official Transformers Generation 2 Annual bio}}

| Blaze accompanied [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to the [[Brazil]]ian rain forest to investigate a Transformer energy signature. The source of the readings turned out to be two terrifying [[Dinobot (G1)|robot dinosaurs!]] The [[Decepticon]]s took advantage of the Autobots' surprise, leaving Blaze the last Autobot standing; he tried to take [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] down himself, but was swatted aside. Fortunately, the creatures revealed themselves to be the Autobots [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]], awakened for the first time since the age of the dinosaurs. The two Dinobots quickly drove off the attacking Decepticons, saving Blaze and his helpless friends. When Grimlock decided that he and Snarl would stay behind and search for their fellow Dinobots, Blaze chastised him for not joining the fight against the Decepticons. Optimus Prime advised Blaze to relax, as felt sure that the Autobots and Dinobots would be brothers-in-arms once Grimlock found his remaining companions. {{storylink|The Dinobots!}}

| *'''Blaze''' (Sparkabot, 1993)
| |
| | |
| : A European/Australasian-market-only [[redeco]] of the [[Sparkabot]] [[Fizzle]], Blaze transforms into an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Baja buggy|offroad Baja buggy]]. By pushing him forward in car mode, "cold" sparks shoot from his back end thanks to a friction-motor that also propels him forward.
| |
| | |
| : Blaze's card art shows his Sparkabot partner Sizzle, while Sizzle's card depicts Blaze. It is therefore arguable which ''Generation 2'' Sparkabot is which, though it can be reasonably assumed that the redeco of the original Sizzle is still Sizzle. The switch led to all sorts of trouble, as the ''Generation 2'' Sparkabots have never appeared in fiction in their proper colours.
| |
| | |
| : This mold was also used to make [[Wildspark]].

| ==Notes==
| |
| * The confusion between Blaze and Sizzle carries on a tradition started in Generation 1 by Sizzle and his team-mate [[Fizzle]]. Sizzle and Fizzle used each others' colour schemes in the UK comics, but only in robot mode. Oy.
| |
| *On the Fleetway gatefold poster featuring Blaze, Blaze's colors are based on his fellow ''Generation 2'' Sparkabot [[Sizzle (G1)|Sizzle]]. In ''The Dinobots!'', Blaze has not only Sizzle's coloration but his entire robot mode. His vehicle mode is still his own, albeit in Sizzle's colors. Double oy!
| |
| *The letters page in the third issue of [[Fleetway]]'s ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (Fleetway)|Generation 2]]'' comic declared that Blaze was [[Fizzle]] after adopting a new name. Okay then.
