Profile: "If there's a blazing fire, Inferno is going to be one of the first bots on the scene, rushing in headlong without regard for his own safety to rescue anyone trapped inside. If there's a blazing firefight Inferno will also be one of the first bots on the scene, and probably even faster than the previous scenario.

"Few bots are as gung-ho as Inferno, whose heat-resistant body and seeming lack of fear make him a tough customer in any kind of emergency. He certainly prefers the thrill of gunning down Decepticons over tackling a four-alarm fire, but he doesn't let his thirst for battle interfere with his duty as a rescue bot.”

[-TFWiki, Inferno (G1)]

On Cybertron, Inferno was the top search and rescue mech either side had during the war. He has a great care for his team mates and other species, and has no problem putting himself in harms way for others; an ideal trait for his particular field. Unlike some medics and rescuers though, Inferno has no personal objections or pacsifist agendas about entering a hot combat zone or engaging the enemy in battle. In fact, he prefers to scrap a few Decepticons while ensuring the safety of others.

While new to Earth, Inferno is eager to learn the culture and whatever is necessary to protect the human populace from the war his Autobots have brought to this world, and to stomp a few Decepticons as well.

Abilities: In vehicular mode, Inferno has all the capabilities of a normal Earth fire truck. In robot mode, Inferno's strength is among the greatest of the Autobots. His ceramic-plated armored external makes him resistant to temperatures of up to 8000 C.

His extinguisher rifle not only shoots a stream of flame-suppressing foam, but can also stop beams of various types of electromagnetic radiation with its own energy-damping beam. (When used in combat can rapidly drain an enemy's shields or personal energon levels.)

By retracting his hands, he can use his forearms to launch short-range surface-to-air missiles. They are more effective for ground combat and demolition of blockades rather than defense against ariel assailants.

Inferno's holomatter avatar is that of a rather tall human male. This human refers to himself as Firefighter Daniels. He is dressed head to toe in traditional black rubber firefighter garbs. Mr. Daniels is bald with a scrappy beard, has blue eyes, and is in his mid thirties.

Weaknesses: Inferno isn't too good at following orders, which can lead to problems in performing his job as well as on the battlefield. His particular configuration makes him one of the least mobile of the Autobots when he's in robot mode.
