Part of the first assortment of Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy toys, Heatstroke is a redeco of Siege Blowpipe, transforming into a blaster rifle that can be held by any toy via 5 mm post. His barrel/backpack part can be removed in robot mode and pegged onto his outer forearms by the 3 mm peg. This barrel is also compatible with the "blast effects" that come with many contemporary toys, simulating blaster fire.

He is almost identical to his pack-mate Heartburn: Heatstroke has an orange visor while Heartburn's is yellow.

He and Heartburn were only available with the larger Voyager-sized Decepticon Hotlink. Like all Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy toys, this set was exclusive to Walmart in the U.S.
