Hot House (facility)
- The fire station is an Autobot Micromaster base from the Generation 1 continuity family.
For such an introspective warrior, defense specialist Hot House packs an amazing amount of weaponry in his fire station. The mobile base converts from a garage and repair station into a treaded tank with a battering ram, missiles, rockets, and a cannon that's much bigger than Hot House himself.
- Japanese name: Fire Base

Upon the creation of the Zone Base, Hot House was put in charge of the Fire Base. Zone Part 4
When the Decepticon Generals invaded Zone, the Fire Base was a crucial part of Zone Base's absolutely useless defenses. It transformed from its innocuous fire station form into a massive artillery platform and let the Decepticons have it with volley after volley of completely and utterly pointless firepower. No matter how much firing was done, no actual damage was done to the Decepticons, who managed to make off with a sample of Energon Z, taken from Zone Base itself.

- Hot House (Micromaster Station, 1989)
- Japanese ID number: C-434
- Accessories: Ramp
- The fire station was sold in a small boxed package, along with Hot House. Ramps allow it to connect to other Micromaster stations to form larger "city" complexes. An opening "garage" door can conceal a vehicle-mode Micromaster. It unfolds from its fire station mode to a battle tank with retracting cannon barrel.
- The station is unique among the four Micromaster Stations; not only is it the only one with a mobile battle mode, but it also does not have any extra accessories to be plugged in anywhere. If only it had wheels.
