Incinerator (Armada)

"Incinerator" redirects here. For the Decepticon tiltrotor aircraft from the live action movie continuity, seeIncinerator (Movie).

Let's see what you can see... This article is in need of images. Specifics:Fictional appearances.

Incinerator is anAutobot-alliedMini-Confrom theArmadaportion of theUnicron Trilogy continuity family.

Incineratoris all about the speed, man. His goal is to be the fastest Mini-Con there is, and then be evenfaster.Sensitive about his light frame and physical weaknesses, Incinerator turned to his one major talent, high-speed racing, and ran with it (literally). Even theDecepticons' aerial warriors have a hard time keeping up with him.

If anyone suspects that Incinerator's quest for speed is an attempt to make up for his physical deficiencies, they only need hear him talk for five minutes toconfirmit. Incinerator is clearly out to earn adulation and praise to feel better about himself, and any kind of negative comment can put him in a funk.

“	Not even gravity can slow me down!	”
