Wheel Blaze

Wheel Blaze is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.

"I'll pet the kitty!"

Wheel Blaze is the perfect calm, competent soldier. Or at least, that's his PR. In the field, his cry of, "I'll handle this!" is the cue for his combiner partner, Roadburner, and the rest of the Metro Squad, to start wondering how to fix the impending mess.

In Japan, Wheel Blaze is the leader of the Fire Tanker W Team.

Toys

Generation 1

• Metro Squad (Micromaster Combiner Squad, 1990)

Wheel Blaze transforms into a wheeled truck which is intended to be the front half of a yellow fire engine, which he forms with his combiner partner Roadburner. He can, of course, combine with any other Micromaster Combiner to form a new vehicle, as well as connect to any Micromaster Combiner Transport. He was only available in a Squad pack with Roadburner, Power Run, Oiler, Slide, and Strikedown.
