Fiction
2001 Robots in Disguise cartoon
During a Predacon attack, Optimus Prime warned Side Burn that if the Plutonium Energy Generator was damaged, it would leak dangerous zirconium gas. Despite rough treatment when it was later grabbed by the Predacons, the generator was fortunately not damaged, even after it spent time being gripped in the jaws of a giant robot shark.

Notes
- As the boiling point of zirconium is 7968°F or 4409°C, one assumes that it's hazardous to things other than micro-circuitry.
