Firestar (G1)
- Firestar is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Firestar is one of the members of Elita One's female Autobot resistance after the departure of the Ark from Cybertron. Practical and unprepossessing, she is nonetheless particularly useful during thefts of Decepticon Energon cubes, as her vehicle mode is capable of transporting large numbers of them.
Firestar is a close friend of Inferno and Chromia, and entrusted the safety of her protégé Flareup to the latter.

Firestar participated in a raid on one of Shockwave's energon supply stores, and fell under attack when the group was discovered thanks to Moonracer's carelessness. All of them survived, and the team returned to their hidden base with the stolen energon.
The Decepticons attacked again, however, and this time the resistance was saved only by the intervention of Optimus Prime and a group of the Earth-based Autobots. Firestar was briefly reunited with Inferno, and together they fought Shockwave alongside the rest of Prime and Elita One's forces. She remained behind with the other females when Prime's team returned to Earth. The Search for Alpha Trion

Firestar, Moonracer and Arcee were strolling around on Cybertron after a battle, when they were attacked from behind by a Decepticon. Only Arcee was quick enough to respond in time, blasting the attacker before her friends came to harm. She then chided her teammates, noting that "War seems to be too tough particularly for females" (sic). Firestar noted with horror that this clearly meant that three beautiful women were in three times as much trouble.
Later, Firestar, Chromia, Moonracer and Elita One celebrated their victory over an absolutely gargantuan Decepticon warrior. Well, Elita brooded, but the others celebrated. MC Axis mini-comics

Trivia
- The toy that was released as Flareup in the BotCon 2005 exclusive souvenir set with Ratchet was originally intended to be Firestar. However, Hasbro was unable to secure the trademark to her name, so she became a new character. According to Ben Yee, Firestar was planned to have died prior to the events of "Descent Into Evil" to explain the absence. However, this was intentionally omitted from the final version of the convention comic. Consequently, her final fate is unknown.
