Trivia
- The toy that was released as Flareup in the BotCon 2005 exclusive souvenir set with Ratchet was originally intended to be Firestar. However, Hasbro was unable to secure the trademark to her name, so she became a new character. According to Ben Yee, Firestar was planned to have died prior to the events of "Descent Into Evil" to explain the absence. However, this was intentionally omitted from the final version of the convention comic. Consequently, her final fate is unknown.
