After seeing a glimpse of him here, yizhi521 of TF08.net has given us a better look at Universe Inferno with higher resolution and better quality photos, from a few different angles. You can see them by clicking here or by scrolling down:

That's the final fig isn't it?
Fu** yea Hasbro seems to have gotten their act together and went back to their AEC quality!

And all I want now is a bit of a price drop and Hasbro earns money from me for Universe!

Aw yeah, gonna be buying this. Also: in before someone complains he's too big/small/red/G1ish.

Old school, please meet New School. You two are going to get along just fine.

Animated, you sit down and shut that mouth of yours. Don't make me bring up Jetfire/Jetstorm and embarrass you in front of the rest of the class.

I share an immense love for this toy as well.

Block-bots FTW.

Y'know the one thing I don't like? Hasbro's continuing obsession with guns mounted on the bottom of arms. I do wish they'd stop it.

Oh yeah. That was the worst thing about Classics Megatron IMO.

Still a great figure though.

Oh yeah, not arguing that. Just I know that I'll buy Inferno, get the hang of transforming him, then within a day I'll be taking the gun off to try and either mount it on the side of his arm or make it work as a handheld weapon. *sigh* A transfans work is never done.

Strange I thought I posted this already :???:

I don't think it's on the bottom of the arm, it looks more like it's on the outer side.

News Credits: 5 · by **Sledge** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 10:03 am

Nah, the arm's been rotated so it looks like the gun's on the side. The elbow in that position would bend inwards.

You're right.
Damn bloody "I have him first" people, never transform the things correctly.

News Credits: 5 · by **Sledge** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 10:11 am

Probably posed him like that to look better. A lot of people do that with Universe Onslaught for the same reason: stupid underarm guns.

I like him alot, I hope that if hasbro make anymore new voyagers they're as good as he is.

I like.

Well, I just won one from Singapore so I'm expecting to get it in the next 2 weeks. When I do, I'll post pics with focus on that disconcerting right arm cannon and with the Ironhide, Sideswipe and Silverstreak I got last week plus whoever else I get before that :wink:

I can't wait for him!

I'm also anticipating the inevitable Grapple.

Somehow I'll need to get a ladder on him. :-?

Beautiful, love the look.

This mold has my permission to be repainted over and over again!
Grapple, Hotspot, Hosehead, bring it on.

There's no winning, if they just simply repainted the G1 Inferno mold yet another time people would be whimpering about that, too (like they are currently with 25th Anniversary Prime)

I actually like this mold a lot, very nice blend of old and new.

I think he looks amazing, I'll definately be getting him! The Universe/ Classics line is by far my favourite nowadays! Got ACIDSTORM today!

I got my Acid Storm a few days ago, I absolutely love him. Still can't find a Fracture and it's really bugging me (Yeah, I used to mark out for Go-bots as well)
