The fire station is an Autobot Micromaster base from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Hot House secretly wishes THIS was his alternate form, and not some dumb airplane.

For such an introspective warrior, defense specialist Hot House packs an amazing amount of weaponry in his fire station. The mobile base converts from a garage and repair station into a treaded tank with a battering ram, missiles, rockets, and a cannon that's much bigger than Hot House himself.
