Meteorfire (Cyberverse)
- Meteorfire is an Autobot from the Cyberverse continuity family.
Meteorfire used to be a big name to the Autobots. Once the host of the extremely popular Alien Hunt! alongside his best mate Cosmos, this guy explored all kinds of weird alien worlds, and got into all sorts of scrapes. Of course, that was before his buddy went and got abducted by aliens. Meteorfire hasn't seen her since.
You'd think, maybe, the loss of the two things that mattered most to him might've made Meteorfire a little bitter or something, but nah. He's still got that same foolhardy zest for hunting (and the shine of the cameras) that made him a media darling to begin with. While he has been in a funk since Cosmos went missing, it wouldn't take that much to get this guy back into the alien-hunting game.

Meteorfire hosted his show with Cosmos for several years until one session wherein she was kidnapped. Unable to find her, Meteorfire canceled Alien Hunt! broadcasts and withdrew to his space station home, where he spent his days moping to replays of the show while chugging down mugs of Energon.
One day, Bumblebee recruited him on a mission to Luna 3, and seeking an opportunity to make a new episode for his show, he agreed. Investigating a communication hub and finding Bee shooting out phantom seekers, the alien responsible possessed him, but the host gave Bee some tips and directions to defeat him. Upon hearing Bumblebee out after, he reasserted his promise to help him. When the alien responsible for Cosmos's kidnapping tried to possess and eat him, Bumblebee came to his rescue and destroyed the alien with a mighty punch. Things kept getting better when Cosmos showed up alive under the alien's remains. Overjoyed to have his partner back, Meteorfire proceeded to bring Alien Hunt! back on the air. Alien Hunt!

- Meteorfire (Battle Call Trooper, 2020)
- Released as part of the Cyberverse's Battle Call subline, the Trooper Class Meteorfire is a Deluxe-sized mold that converts from a robot into a Cybertronian jet and back. Like his subline brethren, Meteorfire features a "Battle Call" voice-activated gimmick, which automatically deploys his armor and activates his battle sounds if "Power Up" is spoken.
Notes
- Meteorfire is a loving parody of the late, great Steve Irwin.
- For a TV show host, Meteorfire packs a surprising amount of weaponry.
