    Thanks for all these obscure character videos this year. I'd never heard of Flamewar, but her real-life origins and zealous support of Megatron make her a fascinating villain.
    Keep up the great work.

    My interdiction to this character was the cyberverse prime figure. I thought she was going to appear in the show along with Rumble and Deadend.

    So Flamewar was created to be a Mary Sue originally. I'm surprised they haven't recolored the G1 Arcee into her yet since that seems to be the MO.

    The first and only version of Flamewar I'd ever seen was the time of TF Prime when I saw her toy in shelves and thought it look cool. At the time I thought it was just another random repaint made just because they could. I miss having that you, but hopefully I'll find another in the future

    I first saw Flamewar on the wiki while looking up more info about that Transformers Universe game. It's too bad it was canceled, because there were several other female Decepticons: Duststorm (a dune buggy sniper), Astraea (a pickup truck), Diabla (a motorcycle with poison blades), Rollcage (a racecar), and Riot.

    Definitely deserving more mainstream toy attention. That colour scheme really pops, and would add some much needed weight to the female Decepticon ranks on the shelves/toy box.
