Flamewar is one of the last of the original Decepticon army, having served during the rule of the original Megatron in as many ways as her body and mind will let her (inserted lewd joke). She has a wide variety of skills, from spy and saboteur to scientist, which kept her quite busy in the Decepticon ranks. She longs for the return to those days of glory and conquest, but she has little hope of such a thing happening. She finds the remaining Decepticon "generals" pale imitations and short-sighted power-mongers, so she has hitched her wagon onto that of the emerging Tripredacus Council.
