Fire-breath is an ability that several Transformers with reptilian beast modes have installed in themselves for combat in their alt modes.
History
Generation 1 cartoon continuity
The Transformers cartoon
The Dinobots had fire-breath included in their alternate modes. Although they all possessed the ability, Grimlock and Slag were the only ones that really employed it. Slag used his fire-breath to help repair the Washington Monument, Atlantis, Arise! and Wheeljack had Grimlock demonstrate his mastery of his fire-breath by adjusting Blaster's volume levels. Later, while practicing on Dinobot Island, Grimlock had Slag practice his "fire stuff" (Grimlock's words) by evaporating a pond. Slag displayed good moves. The local wildlife was not amused. Dinobot Island, Part 1 Later, Slag's fire-breath saved the Dinobots by evaporating the tar pit they had sunken into, but it made him rather tired. Dinobot Island, Part 2
