Transformers: Timelines

Flamewar is an exclusive Transformers action figure, from the Hasbro Toy Company, available only at the Transformers Collectors Convention known as Botcon in 2005. She was only offered as a free gift for those who pre-purchased an Iacon Action Figure set and attended the convention. Considered very rare, she is coveted by some collectors. Flamewar is a redeco of "" Arcee.

Her bio painted her (like Ravage and Onyx Primal) as an agent of the Tripredacus Council. Like Ravage, she was one of those who had survived the original war between Autobot and Decepticon, serving under the original Megatron. Since the Decepticons' original defeat, she has flitted from profession to profession, eventually settling on her current role. While she hopes to aid the Predacons and Decepticons in defeating the Autobots and Maximals, deep down she sees all of them as pale pretenders to the throne of Megatron, and desires a return to those days, whatever the cost.

Fun Publications

Flamewar made her first fictional appearance thus far in the 2005 BotCon comic "Timelines: Descent into Evil". An agent of the Tripredacus Council, she was assigned to spy on Deathsaurus and his plan to create an army of Insecticon clones. Tacitly helping him by disabling the Autobot strike force sent against Deathsaurus' facility, she then reported to the Council that the experiments had been a success. However she was interrupted by an unexpected figure - Bumblebee, now Autobot Director of Intelligence, who revealed that not only had one of his agents seeded the Insecticons with a virus that would render their clones useless, but now he knew who and where she was, reasoning she was now a liability to her masters. Unfortunately for her the Tripredacus Council concurred and destroyed her ship from long range.In the Friday Night Dinner Script, it was revealed that she survived her extermination.
