This article is about The Micromaster. For the building that is sometimes a character, see Hot House (facility).
Hot House is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
"Hi, I'm Hot House! I'm having trouble coming up with a caption for my picture. Let me mull it over for a while. I suppose I could make a joke about my knee. See how it's sticking up there? 'BEWARE MY KNEEPADS OF DOOM!' or something like that. Or maybe my name is funny. 'Hot House.' Hmm"[1]

Hot House is a thinker. He mulls over every problem to the last rivet, often out loud. His fellow Autobots wonder if he should really be left in charge of a large battle vehicle, but his attention to detail actually makes him very good at his job, watching the skies at long-range to defend Autobot installations against incoming Decepticon attacks.[2]

His fire station base is also great at shooting at Decepticons bigger than it. Doing any damage is another matter entirely.

Hot House is a redeco of Tailwind, transforming into a white and maroon A-10 Thunderbolt ground-strike plane, with a red-and-white color scheme to reflect his firefighting role. He was only available with a fire station that transforms into a tank-like battle mode.
He was released in the Japanese Zone toyline with no notable changes in 1990.
Hot House's mold was also used to make Windrim.

Notes

  • As a redeco of Tailwind who was gang molded with Nightflight, Hot House, by necessity, shares plastic colors with his fellow Micromaster Station toy Airwave.

Footnotes

  1. ↑ "It means a heated greenhouse, where people grow tropical flowers. I do like flowers. Red ones set off my optics. Of course, 'hothouse' is also an adjective meaning 'delicate, sensitive.' Y'know, I think I kinda resent that! Sure, I'm not the strongest Micromaster around, but I get by! And firefighting is hard work! *harumph* Anyway, I'm still having trouble coming up with a caption. Let me know if you think of something."
