I just opened my copy of Transformers Generations 2011 Volume 2, and I was looking through the comic also making an appearance in the comic alongside other Target Masters Kup & Recoil, Stepper & Nebulon, is Artfire with Nightstick! In the comic (written by Simon Furman with illustrations by Guido Guidi) Artfire is Universe/Henkei Inferno with a white cab front/chest, white shoulder pads, white arm panels, blue detailing, and red arms and legs. Nightstick is a silver and black Power Core Combiner Pinpoint (the Minicon packed with Leadfoot). Does this mean that we are in fact getting a United Artfire with Nighstick via Million Publishing like the United Stepper with Nebulon?! Only time will tell.

I'd really like this if they do it.

Possibly. The other 1987 guys in that comic all sport their cartoon character designs, while Artfire uses the Universe 2008 Inferno body and not his original design. Also having Pinpoint as his partner Nightstick is pretty telling. But it could all be just for the comic too, I guess we'll know if/when the third volume of Generations 2011 comes out.

Also the price of Stepper is around $50 (USD) with the purchase of a $30 book, so it's pretty understandable why he is so much to purchase for those outside of Japan (as he's still considerably more than a regular United toy - part of that is probably Nebulon/Nightstick's inclusion).

Not that unreasonable, TakaraTomy has pulled a lot of fancy things out of their hat.

Plus; why pass up a decent way to sell the same thing again?

And out of one of VERY FEW Good Boxformers might I add!

That would be awesome. I would totally buy one.
On the other hand I'm not going to hold my breath.

EDIT: Studying the picture a little closer, I'm not so fired up about that weapon in his hand.
