"Oh, LUIGI has a death stare now? Well, that's cute."

Flamewar is a Decepticon serving Megatron on Earth. She stalks its populace on his orders, though she's really stalking the Autobot Arcee. Having studied her moves for many years, Flamewar is hoping to draw the Autobot into a trap, and thus, her end.

Obsessive one, that Flamewar.

I'm so obsessed with Arcee, I even have her body!

• Decepticon Flamewar (Cyberverse Legion Class, 2012)

• Series / number: 2 / 012
• Accessories: "Friction rifle"
• Known designers: Joe Kyde (Hasbro)

Released in the third wave of Prime Cyberverse Legion Class toys, Flamewar is a redeco of Arcee, transforming into a motorcycle, and comes with Legion Class Vehicon's gun/sword (also used by Soundwave) in an ever-so-slightly different shade of translucent purple. The weapon features both pegs and a peg-hole so that it can be combined with other Cyberverse weapons. Likewise, her vehicle mode, which is largely scale-accurate with the Deluxe and Voyager toys, has multiple peg-holes for Cyberverse weapon mounting. In robot mode, she has permanently-deployed battle blades on her arms.

This sculpt was also used to make 2014 Transformers Protectobot Groove.

Notes

• Flamewar is a clear homage to the Timelines character of the same name, having an obsessive sort of mentality, and using a dark-colored motorcycle with bright accents and a flame deco as her altmode. Additionally, just as the original Flamewar toy used the Energon Arcee mold, so does Prime Flamewar's toy use Prime Arcee's mold.
• Ben Yee, creator of the original Flamewar, approves of this figure!
• In the game Transformers Universe, Flamewar was meant to be a playable warrior released in October 2014. Unfortunately she was held back from release, shortly after the game declared it was closing down. However her portrait can be found in the game files and Mark Brassington uploaded a render of her model on ArtStation (seen at right).
