Singe

Singe is a Nebulan Decepticon in the Generation 1 continuity family.

He would do anything for love - but he won't do that.

Singe may be the only being to have joined the Decepticons for love. Years ago, Singe lost his lover Llyra to Galen, leaving him crushed. When his rival joined the Autobots, Singe signed up with the Llyra's father, Lord Zarak, and the Decepticons, hoping to slay Galen and win back Llyra's heart. The binary-bonding process made the callow playboy into a double-barreled nuclear-powered flamethrower, capable of liquefying metal and barbecuing Galen alive. But the Decepticons' defeat and subsequent exile from Nebulos left Singe bitter, hateful, and unfulfilled. To make matters worse, Galen died before he could kill him! Even the company of his partners Spinister and Hairsplitter can't shake his loneliness.
