Hot spot


 * Hot spots are a phenomenon, normally on Cybertron.

A hot spot is a location in which sparks are naturally known to ignite. Known hot spots have been recorded on Cybertron and its moons, though the vast majority have gone dormant over time.

Hot spots were ignited by pulses from Vector Sigma. A race to find the new hot spot often occurred after each pulse. Nova Prime was worried that the pulses would stop eventually as they were getting less and less frequent by his time. A hot spot would usually be consecrated before any sparks were harvested from it.

At least thirteen of the Titans carried hot spots, which they engaged upon finding a suitable world to colonize.
