Firestar (SG)

"Taking a life is worth the risk."

FIRESTAR is a gleeful pyromanic. Nothing makes her happier than yelling "Burn, baby, burn!" while setting fire to some unprotected Decepticon village. Besides her host of built-in flamethrowers, FIRESTAR also has the ability to use microwave radiation to cook her opponents' wiring from the inside. With the ability to quite literally drive into the heart of a fire, FIRESTAR often simply stands laughing, wreathed in flames, while her enemies burn around her.

With her specially-modified fireman's energy axe, Firestar often hacks her enemies to pieces when she's not burning them alive. She has an infrared energy sensor that allows her to quickly locate fleeing victims, tracking them whereever they hide. She uses a high-powered surgical laser to slice off limbs for interrogation, torture, or just plain fun. When needed to, Firestar can also start fires of almost surgical detail with her internal plasma generators, but generally she prefers to just set everything ablaze and let Primus sort them out.

In her altmode, a Cybertronian transport, her cargo area is large enough to carry out captured or incapacitated prisoners. When not murdering innocents, Firestar finds truest friends in others who love to cause misery and pain. Her desire for wide-scale destruction often puts her at odds with her commanders, as she tends to disobey orders and stray from her assigned tasks. She is one of the members of Elita-One's Female Autobot assassination squad, and specialized in hunting down refugees. Attractive but impractical, she is a poor choice for collecting Energon cubes, as she is more likely to blow them up than transport them back to base.

Firestar dislikes Inferno, who she believes is too much of a kiss-aft, and Chromia, who she feels tries too hard to keep her in line.

Generation 1 cartoon
Four million years ago, Firestar tried to board the Ark, while it was being attacked, with the rest of Elita One's team. The plan failed though, and she and the others appeared to be destroyed.

Firestar participated in a raid on one of Shockwave's energon supply stores, and fell under attack when the group was discovered thanks to Moonracer's carelessness. They managed to escape and the team returned to their hidden base with the stolen energon.

The Decepticons attacked again, however. Trying to capture Elita One, Rumble caused the Female Autobots' underground base to collapse, with most of them in it. They survived and managed to free themselves some time later. In search for their leader, they met up with a team of Earth-stationed Autobots who had come looking for their commander. Firestar was briefly reunited with her friend Inferno and together they helped fight off the Decepticons the Earth-stationed Autobots had gotten themselves in a fight with. She remained on Cybertron with the rest of Elita One's team when Optimus's team returned to Earth.
