Smeltdown

Smeltdown is a mutant Cybertronian from the Marvel portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Smeltdown has been watching too much Energon...

Smeltdown doesn't talk much. Generally, he lets the furnace in his chest and the flame-spewing nozzles he has in place of hands do the talking.

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

Smeltdown was part of a marauding group of mutants who encountered the young Autobots Tailgate, Flattop, and Subsea in the Underworld when the trio foolishly decided to take the ancient Autobot "trial by fire". Smeltdown slew Flattop, and subsequently died in a spectacular explosion when Tailgate ruptured the gas tank in his furnace, taking Jackhammer, Slayride, and Warhead with him. The flames caused by his fiery death soon served as a funeral pyre for Rotgut, Underworld! and the explosion ruptured the barrier between the Underworld and the lower levels of Cybertron, allowing the demons to escape.
