As the Ark was traveling through space, fuel ran low, thus falling to Optimus Prime to send Autobot Micromasters Fireguard, Roadburner and Windstorm to Micron collect the powerful yet dangerous plasma energy detected by Teletraan I. Decepticon Micromasters Stingracer, Runner, and Motorhead follow them, intending to sabotage their mission and seize the plasma energy for themselves. The Autobots take advantage of the dense population of Micron to hide out until they are ready to take the plasma energy. As Micron is the most secure planet in the universe, the generators for plasma energy are protected enough for both sides to struggle to reach them. The Decepticons make contact with the plasma energy first, so Autobot Micromasters deem the plasma energy too dangerous and leave.

- Micron Micromasters (Galactic Odyssey Collection, 2021)
- Part of the Encounter 2 set of the Earthrise Galactic Odyssey Collection, representing Micron, Fireguard is an Autobot-aligned redeco of Siege Direct-Hit, transforming into the front half of a "fire truck", according to the online description for the set. Fireguard's color scheme is heavily inspired by Wheel Blaze (who was already released as a non-combining figure in Siege), but they are apparently a different characters. Fireguard can combine with their partner Roadburner to form a complete "fire truck". However, Fireguard is a serviceable vehicle on their own; possessing red guns on top when their combiner port is not flipped down. Additionally, the duo can be inverted in their combined mode, using Roadburner's water pump as a shoulder cannon for a larger figure.
- Fireguard is part of a six-pack exclusive to Amazon, bundled with fellow Autobots Roadburner and Windstorm, and Decepticons Stingracer, Runner, and Motorhead. Despite being labeled as "Encounter 2" in the Galactic Odyssey Collection, this was the third set to be officially revealed. The reasons for this delay are unknown.
