Part of the first assortment of Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy toys, Heartburn 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 Heatstroke: Heartburn has a yellow visor while Heatstroke's is orange.

He and Heatstroke were only available with the larger Voyager-sized Decepticon Hotlink. Like all of the Netflix War For Cybertron Trilogy toys, this set was exclusive to Walmart in the U.S. The set was also released in Japan as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive.
