Wheel Blaze is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
"I'll pet the kitty!"

Wheel Blaze is the perfect calm, competent soldier. Or at least, that's his PR. In truth, while he may be strong and smart, and a pretty competent planner, in an actual crisis he is anything but helpful, something he either doesn't notice or won't admit to. In the field, his cry of, "I'll handle this!" is the cue for his combiner partner, Roadburner, and the rest of the Metro Squad, to start wondering how to fix the impending mess.<ref>More than Meets the Eye #7</ref>

In Japan, Wheel Blaze is the leader of the Fire Tanker W Team.


Commercial appearances

Wheel Blaze, Roadburner, Missile Master and Moonrock were among a group of Autobot Micromasters that managed to infiltrate the Decepticon headquarters. Megatron tried to stop them, only to be confounded by their ability to separate and recombine in their vehicle modes. They then shot Megatron in the face. Micromaster Combiners commercial

Notes

Foreign names
