Fire

Fire is an Autobot Micromaster from the Victory portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Where there's smoke there's him! Wait... no, that's someone else.

As a member of the Rescue Patrol Team, the function of Fire (ファイヤー Faiyā) is to rescue bystanders, not engage in battle. Yet the burning justice within his heart drives him to fight, anyway. In his spare time he enjoys hanging out with Jan and ridiculing his team's leader, Holi.

Zone cartoon, manga, and story pages

When Victory Saber initiated the "Zone Project", the Rescue Patrol helped rebuild planet Micro into planet Zone. To counter this threat, Violengiguar began conquering planets in order to create his own Decepticon Zone. The Race Car Patrol and all other Micromaster teams were then sent on patrol across the galaxy, specifically to planets where their unique skills could do the most good. Zone Part 1

When Bruticus attacked the planet Feminia, the Rescue Patrol were among several units of Micromasters deployed to stop him. Through teamwork, they proved triumphant. Zone Part 2

When the Nine Great Demon Generals attacked planet Feminia en masse, the Rescue Patrol Team helped evacuate the planet of as many lifeforms as possible. However, they were unable to save Victory Saber, who sacrificed himself to rescue the last of the humans. The Rescue Patrol were later seen cleaning up the Zone Base on planet Zone after another attack by the Demon Generals. Still later, they could be seen celebrating when Victory Saber (who was rescued by the Powered Masters) inaugurated Dai Atlas as new Supreme Commander. Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!

When the Powered Masters flew off to the Tenth Planet for their showdown with Violengiguar, all the Micromaster teams took command of Zone and vowed to keep it safe in their Commander's absence. Zone Part 10
