Hot House (Micromaster)

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.' It means a heated greenhouse, where people grow tropical flowers. I do like flowers. Red ones set off my optics."

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.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1" title="">[2]</a></sup>

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

French-Canadian name: Serre Chaude

Squint hard, that's Hot House there. manning the extra machine gun on the base.

Hot House didn't appear much; his fire station appeared much more than he did.

When the Decepticon Generals invaded Zone, Hot House could (just barely) be seen manning a machine gun on the fire base.

Hot House was not among the Autobots to travel to earth to defend that planet, presumably staying behind with his fire station.

Zone manga

In this version of the story, when the Decepticon Generals attacked they stole the Energon Z, then the Zone Base transformed, Hot House's Fire Base was part of this transformation. He could be seen (just... or rather... maybe -- it's in black and white, so it could be someone else), manning the station just before the Autobots fired.

Hot House is a redeco of Tailwind. He transforms 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.

Hot House's mold was also used to make Windrim.

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." <li id="cite_note-1"><a href="#cite_ref-1" title="">↑</a> More Than Meets The Eye #3</ol>
