Fire

Fire is an Autobot Micromaster from the Victory portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Where there's smoke there's him! Wait... no, that's someone else.

As a member of the Rescue Patrol Team, the function of Fire (ファイヤー Faiyā) is to rescue bystanders, not engage in battle. Yet the burning justice within his heart drives him to fight, anyway. In his spare time he enjoys hanging out with Jan and ridiculing his team's leader, Holi.

Zone cartoon, manga, and story pages

When Victory Saber initiated the "Zone Project", the Rescue Patrol helped rebuild planet Micro into planet Zone. To counter this threat, Violengiguar began conquering planets in order to create his own Decepticon Zone. The Race Car Patrol and all other Micromaster teams were then sent on patrol across the galaxy, specifically to planets where their unique skills could do the most good. Zone Part 1

When Bruticus attacked the planet Feminia, the Rescue Patrol were among several units of Micromasters deployed to stop him. Through teamwork, they proved triumphant. Zone Part 2

When the Nine Great Demon Generals attacked planet Feminia en masse, the Rescue Patrol Team helped evacuate the planet of as many lifeforms as possible. However, they were unable to save Victory Saber, who sacrificed himself to rescue the last of the humans. The Rescue Patrol were later seen cleaning up the Zone Base on planet Zone after another attack by the Demon Generals. Still later, they could be seen celebrating when Victory Saber (who was rescued by the Powered Masters) inaugurated Dai Atlas as new Supreme Commander. Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas! Transformers: Zone

When the Powered Masters flew off to the Tenth Planet for their showdown with Violengiguar, all the Micromaster teams took command of Zone and vowed to keep it safe in their Commander's absence. Zone Part 10

Legends comic

Fire was on Zone when Violengiguar attacked, using the stolen bodies of the Powered Masters. Scattered by the initial attack, Fire and the Micromasters rallied around the arriving base mode of the real Dai Atlas to stage a counter-attack. LG-EX Big Powered Prologue Part One

• Stakeout & Red Heat (Micromaster, 2019)
  • Hasbro ID number: WFC-S19
  • TakaraTomy ID number: SG-21
  • TakaraTomy release date: May 31, 2019

Siege Red Heat was repurposed as Holi in the Legends comic.

Part of the second wave of Siege Micromasters, Red Heat (likely renamed for trademark reasons) is a retool of Topshot that transforms from robot to fire truck. He can also combine with his pack-in teammate Stakeout to form the "Binerboost Salvage Blaster," a blaster-weapon for larger figures to wield. As a part of the C.O.M.B.A.T. System, their weapon mode can be attached to any toy with a 5 mm post-hole. "Fire Blasts" can also be attached to their barrels.

This mold was used to make Siege Wheel Blaze, and retooled to make Fireline.

HasLab

You bought the one above to use as me didn't you?

• Victory Saber (2022)

HasLab Fire is a redeco of Siege Red Heat as a third-tier bonus included with the crowdfunded Victory Saber, unlocked once the project reached 20,000 backers. Fire transforms into a fire engine with an extending ladder in 4 steps and can combine with his included (and fellow Rescue Patrol redeco) Holi to form a blaster compatible with the 3 mm post (for Fire Blast effects) and 5 mm port C.O.M.B.A.T. System.
