War for Cybertron Trilogy

• Decepticon Hotlink (Voyager Class, 2020)
  • TakaraTomy ID number: WFC-06
  • Accessories: Blast effect, barrel

Part of the first assortment of Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy toys, Heatstroke is a redeco of Siege Blowpipe, transforming into a blaster rifle that can be held by any toy via 5 mm post. His barrel/backpack part can be removed in robot mode and pegged onto his outer forearms by the 3 mm peg. This barrel is also compatible with the "blast effects" that come with many contemporary toys, simulating blaster fire.

He is almost identical to his pack-mate Heartburn: Heatstroke has an orange visor while Heartburn's is yellow.

He and Heartburn were only available with the larger Decepticon Hotlink. Like all of the Netflix War For Cybertron Trilogy toys, this set was exclusive to Walmart in the US. The set is also available in Japan as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive.
