Pinpoint isn't the greatest PCC micron either. Having two targetmasters leaves Artfire's powered up alternate mode as looking rather horrendous. Artfire's meant to be a sniper... if a Micron was made to enhance Nightstick then that would be cool, but Artfire ain't much of a sniper if he has a rifle and a double barreled pistol.

Although that Targetmaster picture is tres bon.


I thought the Backwind min-con would have been a better addition
when I first viewed this, it's got a good rifle mode. Backwind also has flood lights and a hook, all things that would compliment a rescue vehicle like a firetruck. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the mini-con pairing could have been better.

All-in-all he looks ok. Not really the best looking version of the Inferno mold, but if you're looking for an update to Artfire, here he is.

I get why he is so costly, but it's not a dire figure and doesn't really deserve the high price considering Grapple was available when he could be found for $10. I think milking the fandom is getting out of control.
I do think Million Publishing does a great job in picking characters to offer as exclusives, though I wish they would offer them outside of Japan so they could be more economical. They'd probably sell more books too(instead of people just ordering the toy through BBTS or other retailers)

I think thats kind of funny in a sad way.

Like the previous Million Publishing exclusives, the quantity of figures are made to match the number of orders.

Yeah I think thats a great way to release an exclusive, but I was speaking about how BBTS is already sold out, when Millions hasn't even tallied up a final number of total exclusives. Im expecting BBTS to take on a second wave, with a second wave price tag.

Thank God for Robot Kingdom.

Yeah, I wouldn't panic yet. I'm sure pre-orders will be opened up again.

And that's another 150$ I'm loosing because of this horrible, horrible plastic toy addiction of mine. :lol:

Although I'm must say that I'm more than intrigued as to how Artfire got a second Targetmaster in Sparks...

Damn that went quickly!

It was too pricey considering I have no connection at all to Artfire or know anything about him other than "crazy expencive, exclucive G1 toy" ... but if the preorder lasted a little while longer, I might have caved anyway since I'm a sucker like that.

I'm happy I got in a preorder at BBTS before he sold out. Artfire looks great & I hope one day he'll receive his proper TargetMaster, hint hint Perfect Effect.

Don't understand what all the fusses are about. Granted the color looks exceptionally good with this character, but I owned solar flare (storm??) grapple and inferno and the actual toy is made poorly. The plastic seems cheap and the figure themselves are very loose. For a repaint of a mold that, in my opinnion, made with such poor quality to command $150 is beyond 'me'. Of course, you also get the book, but personally, I'd rather spend it on a new masterpiece figure. At least I know I won't be disappointed. Hell. I'll buy a masterpiece I'd already have over a $150 voyager class.
