New Million Publishing Exclusive Artfire Images

Thats just bad ass. Glad I kept my pre-order.

Ouch! Poor Sparks in the first image.

I wonder how the 2 Microns/Targetmasters stay connected on his hook?

Okay I think I see from the first image, but one of the Microns/Targetmasters is a repaint of Nightstick. Who is the other?

I guess they also connect to each other, while the hook is a 5mm hole.

PCC Pinpoint, who came with Leadfoot. He was also used for Arms Micron Firebolt, in fact Sparks had his colors switched around

I don't like the black on the side rear panels in alt mode. I know it looks true to G1 Artfire, but it looks off. In my opinion, they should have stayed more true to the Japanese fire trucks and continued with the red and white color scheme.

I wonder if we will get a G1 Inferno from that mould. I like my G2 Inferno but I want one with a ladder.

There's always that 3rd party set, the gears of war. But then you have a large ladder attached to his arm.

Not a fan of the back, red/white would indeed be better.

I'd also like to see some chrome on this figure, like the bumper and front grill.

This is going to sound strange(I'm thinking it and I think it sounds strange):

The more I see of this figure the more I'm wondering if I really want it and consider dropping my pre-order to save(ha! more like spend it on Warmachine) the money.

No, it'd make smart sense considering the mass-produced version is coming soon. If you can live with color differences and 1, as opposed to 2 Targetmasters (the original toy only had 1 anyway), why not cancel and save yourself $140?

Edit: just read on the boards: Apparently he's not being released. Lets just forget about the above post then, shall we.

Million Publishing has updated their website with a reminder that the deadline is rapidly approaching for fans who purchased their latest Transformers Generations to submit their mail-in certificates for Artfire, and with that reminder comes a new image of the exclusive figure. Here he's seen posed with their previous exclusive Stepper and G1 Chromedome.

Psyched! Also, Takara needs to get to work on Classics Chromedome.

Poor Chromedome. All G1-ny next to his Universe friends. He really needs an update. WITH a Headmaster!

Artfire looks awesome.

I have it on his back...don't even remember off the top of my head how it stays attached, but it does. Sure, it requires a bit of part-forming, but it looks a heckuva lot better.

Glad I pre-ordered at BBTS. Does anyone actually buy the book and use the coupon ? I mean seriously, isnt it all Japanese ???

You can't, you'd have to be a Japanese resident.

I'm excited. My japanese shelf already has a spot reserved for him.

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things...

Chromedome needs help.

Maybe they're hinting at something?

Perhaps some Neo-classics Headmasters? With actual Headmasters?

It wouldn't be the first time we've seen Million Publishing tease about future releases through teasers. Afterall, the first hint they were doing Artfire was in their Generations book's comic.

I, for one, welcome Chromedome should he decide to make a Classics appearance.

Just don't be another Classics Hot Rod retool...

Would love to have a Classics version of Chromedome and it's absolute silliness that SDCC and Botcon had nothing in works for our headmaster friends next year.

Million Publishing have released new images of their upcoming exclusive Transformers United Artifre, which they have revealed is due to ship out December 17th. Check out the images mirrored below.

That's gotta be the cleanest look at G1 Artfire I've ever seen.

man, he is really looking good in the shots, especially the comparison with stepper
regretting not having the loot for him when he was pre sold

Stepper isn't complete without Artfire in any line. Where's Encore Artfire, TakaraTomy?

We're still waiting on a TF: Collection Artfire.

Or a Hasbro Commemorative Edition. He was supposedly on their short-list

It's been a long road
waiting from there to here
It's been a long time
But Artfire's finally near

I'm excited. There's been a space by Stepper for almost a year now waiting to be filled.

Its a nice looking figure, just not 150.00 nice.




And if I got him than I'd have to spend another 85 to get Stepper......Seperation anxiety, Ive seen it and its not pretty

Awesome. This is one mold that actually works for 5 different characters.

Looks great. I had almost forgot that I had this fig pre-ordered.

Its been a long time coming.

So will there be a mass production Artfire too?

Transformers Hoarder wrote:So will there be a mass production Artfire too?

No. There was a rumour there was going to be one, however that was a mis-advertisement. This is the only Artfire we'll be seeing for a while unless Encore puts one out.

I don't trust that prodcut listing. Tfsource stated UN-32 Artfire turned out to be misinformation. Let me do some checking, but I have a feeling they just never updated their info.

There is a UN-32? I haven't seen that listing.

There is no UN-32. It was believed that there would be a non-Million Publishing United Artfire that would be UN-32, but that turned out to be an error.

I'm sure there'll be a UN-32 sometime in the future but it just won't be Artfire.

Wonder who it could be.

Maybe the recently rumored Hardhead or Reflector.

Time will tell.

Best deal I've found, $134.99 shipped.

Thanks for clarifying. That's what I thought. I remember when this news came out people were so excited they kept referencing each other "UN-32". It makes it confusing to figure out what is fact and rumor.

Great news for those of us who have been patiently awaiting the release of Million Publishing's exclusive Transformers United Artfire, Autobase Aichi is reporting that fans in Japan have started to receive their figures! The figure is repainted hybrid of the RtS Solar Storm Grappel and Universe Inferno molds, featuring two Targetmasters Nightstick and Sparks.
