Let's see what you can see...

This article is in need of images.

Specifics: Toys
Scorch is an Autobot Turbomaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The dreaded Rear Guardbot.

Scorch is the Turbomasters' rear guard. He's a loyal and self-sacrificing sort; brave to the point of recklessness, but tough enough to take the resulting knocks. Proud of his position in the Autobot ranks, and loves working as part of a team.


Fiction

Toy catalogue comic

"Alright, now add more explosions and we got us an AWESOME movie!"

Scorch defended the Autobot Turbomaster base when it was attacked by the Predators.

Dreamwave comics continuity

After the conquest of Cybertron by Megatron and the Aerospace Extermination Squadron, Scorch and the rest of the Turbomasters evaded capture and participated in the Autobot underground resistance. Perceptor assigned the Turbomasters to monitor the Think Tank, a project designed to locate the missing Optimus Prime. When Perceptor left them alone, however, the Turbomasters partook in a game of tear'n'chase. Flash evaded his pursuing team-mates, but accidentally drove into the Think Tank, sending him somewhere very far from home... The Age of Wrath issue 3

Due to Dreamwave's plunge into bankruptcy, this story was never finished.
