Fiction

Wild King cartoon

Voice actor: Jinya Haruka (Japanese)

Shortly after Spirituan's short scuffle with Optimus Prime, Ignite Leo suddenly appeared behind his friend. Fellow Animal Tribe member Lightlong was confused why he was with a member of the Dinosaur Tribe. The Kindhearted Hydrophant Ignite Leo then challenged Optimus Prime to a duel, where he easily gained the upper hand and refused to listen to Lightlong's attempts at reason. He was nearly defeated by an electric blast from Lightning Optimus if not for Spirituan intervening with an Earth Defense summoned boulder to neutralize the Lightning Energy, which he capitalized on to knock Lightning Optimus down. Just as the Energy Master was about to be finished off, a stream of water from Hydrophant briefly forced him to evade, and he eventually went down after getting blasted with Lightning Aqua Optimus' electrically charged stream of water. Afterwards, when confronted by Lightlong, he explained he just wanted to test Optimus' power and prevent Megatron and the Dinosaur Tribe from going near the potentially dangerous Element Shield. He is then forced to watch Spirituan get kidnapped by unknown forces, to his dismay. Courage to Protect What's Important
