| The name or term "Firebot" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Firebot (disambiguation). |
- Firebot is a Mini-Con from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Firebot leads the Emergency Mini-Con Team and does so with unmatched zeal. His enthusiasm is infectious, pushing his already hardworking teammates to even greater levels. He doesn't stop until his job is done, and he pushes others to put in that same one-hundred-percent-plus—and they do.
He's a friend to his subordinates when he needs to be, a hard-nosed boss to them when he needs to be...even a brawler when he needs to be, and even sometimes when he doesn't really need to be. A fair few Decepticons have learned not to underestimate the little rescue worker.
In the Universe war, Firebot (or an alternate-universe version of him) is partnered with the Autobot Fireflight and fellow Mini-Con Thunderwing.
Fiction
Armada cartoon
Firebot's Mini-Con storage panel landed in a rather out-of-the-way location: on Mars. Jetfire and Starscream were dispatched to retrieve him, and eventually found his panel embedded on an asteroid in orbit around the red planet. After Starscream activated Firebot, he convinced the Mini-Con to join forces with the Autobots rather than serve as a slave of the Decepticons. Firebot blasted Tidal Wave for the Autobots, and accompanied them back to Earth where he was welcomed by the other Mini-Cons under their care. Mars
Dreamwave Armada comic
Firebot is one of the many Mini-Cons who gathered on Earth in preparation for the trip back to Cybertron and the battle with the chaos-bringer Unicron. Presumably, he joined Over-Run at the Loop, where the Mini-Cons channeled their energies through the Matrix and dealt the fatal blow to Unicron. The End
3H comics
Firebot (or an alternate-universe incarnation of him) is one of the many captured Transformers who escaped from the Cauldron thanks to the quick thinking of Silverbolt and Trailbreaker. Escape
Toys
Armada
- Emergency Mini-Con Team (Basic, 2003)
- Japanese ID number: MM-20
- Firebot transforms into an aircraft-crash-response truck. He has a third "weapon mode" transformation, becoming a (non-firing) missile pod. He was only available with his teammates Makeshift and Prowl.
- This mold was also used to make Anti-Blaze, Cluster and Quench, and slightly retooled into Cybertron Graviton.
- Emergency Micron X-Dimension (Basic, 2003)
- Japanese ID number: MM-21
- A low-run regular-retail "X-Dimension" redeco of the Emergency Team was made available in Japan, featuring a midnight blue and orange "Draft". This was the final set of X-Dimension Mini-Cons released.
- This toy was later repurposed as Shattered Glass Pinpointer.
- Emergency Mini-Con Team (Basic, 2003)
- Late in the Armada series, the Emergency Team was given a redeco (without a new team name as previous redecoed teams had). Firebot was decoed as a tribute to Generation 1 Hot Spot, in a mainly light blue scheme
Universe
- Fireflight with Firebot and Thunderwing (Deluxe, 2004)
- Firebot was redecoed for the Universe series in a scheme similar to Quench's, but using a lighter yellow and maroon rather than red. He was only available as part of a Deluxe-sized multi-pack along with Fireflight and Thunderwing.
Notes
Foreign names
- Japanese: Draft (ドラフト Dorafuto)
