Flame (planet)
- Flame is a planet in the Beast Wars Neo portion of the Beast Era

Flame is a harsh world whose freakish life-cycle makes it a wonder of the Universe, and a thing of savage cosmic beauty.
Flame is a lumpy ball of scorched magma, broken craters and searching heat. As it circles its binary star in an rapid unstable orbit, the planet moves through the solar prominences passing between the stars—and is subjected to unimaginable, punishing heat capable of boiling and even evaporating the metal body of a Transformer every few hours.

Despite Flame's forbidding condition, life not only endures but flourishes! As the planet moves away from the searing solar prominences, buried seeds push up into the cooling atmosphere, and fast-growing caterpillars emerge from protected sub-surface pockets and metamorphose into butterflies fluttering above a landscape that sprouts with flowers in every color of the rainbow.
When the atmosphere begins to heat again, the butterflies undergo a second chrysalis back to work-form and retreat to safety below the surface before tongues of flame whisk across the atmosphere and wipe the surface clean of everything which had grown in the last few hours.
