- Hot spots are a phenomenon from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
A hot spot is a location in which sparks are naturally known to ignite. Known hot spots have been recorded on Cybertron and its moons, though the vast majority have gone dormant over time.
Fiction

Hot spots were ignited by pulses from Vector Sigma—a race to find the new hot spot often occurred after each pulse. Nova Prime was worried that the pulses would stop eventually as they were getting less and less frequent by his time. The Divided Self A hot spot would usually be consecrated before any sparks were harvested from it. The Fecund Moon
At least thirteen of the Metrotitans carried hot spots, which they engaged upon finding a suitable world to colonize. A 'Bot and Her City
Tailgate was one of the 'bots who was from the Rivets Field hot spot in Iacon that ignited two weeks before the launch of the first Ark. This Calamitous Life Other Iaconian hot spots include Port Residua and Vespertine Blue. Black Planet
The lost moon Luna 1 was discovered to have a hot spot of unprecedented size. The Fecund Moon However the hot spot went dark not long after it was discovered. The Sound of Breaking Glass
Notes
- In "Remembrance Day", we see Frak and Rushcut uncover the rare spark that will become Overlord in the Thymesis Energon mining facility on Luna 2. As the mine is then subsequently closed as their supervisor sends for an authenticator from the Functionist Council it's evident that they were not expecting to find a spark there, so it seems that while it is rare for sparks to be found outside hot spots, they do sometimes occur naturally in Energon seams, at least.
