This looks tons better than the grey model. Lining details on the arms that weren't there before, looks natural in the poses they've got it in, and wow, those accessories! Is that a Red Alert cradle? Because that's friggin hilarious. And great.

There is a chance that I will buy this Inferno MP... and the innevitable Grapple repaint... and so on and so forth... For some reasons...

Sorry, not seeing the connection, could you maybe draw me a picture

HOLY COW, look at those accessories!! A second helmet! TWO additional front bumpers! All to allow people to choose between the preliminary and finalized character model designs! OR the toy-accurate chrome bumper! So much variety!

Options are optional

Brilliant! I was not expecting that ladder to hide away. Those Masterpiece designs are all so clever.

Now, next question, how big is it? I'm assuming they'll scale him for robot mode rather than vehicle.

[wilcosu35]

New photos!.... Oooh, that looks nice

[padfoo]

Any idea how big Inferno will be, is he more Ironhide size, I cant see him being smaller, but larger? I could only find a few images from the show, Inferno seems to be a bit taller.

[Seibertron]

His lower half still needs the details I previously mentioned, but the rest of him looks fantastic. I love the ladder "magic". Now that's a Transformer! I wonder if you can leave the ladder exposed for a G1 toy look. The accessories are awesome as well. Might have to get two for gallery comparison shots. Gotta see more pics with the accessories attached/swapped to see how significant it is.

[Wolfman Jake]

Yep, I knew people would change their tunes with just a simple addition of color to the prototype. I'm loving the accessories. The Transformation looks to be top-notch. Despite some recent quibbling on detailing, color choice, or complexity on some recent Masterpiece releases, I think it's safe to say that things are still rolling out really well and won't be slowing down any time soon!

Really

Both my, and Seib's opinions haven't changed, we still maintain that the figure needs more detailing on the lower half; everyone else was all for this figure...

*sigh* There's just no pleasing some people.

If it makes you feel any better, he does have painted rims, so that's a big plus for me

Either way, I'd still hold out for an Artfire before getting out-fer-yes

[Cyberpath]

He looks great!

But what are the insignia stickers for? Looks like all three bumpers already have symbols.. the real-world one has the regular symbol, and the two simplified ones have the "Sunbow" one.

[Sabrblade]

He looks great!

But what are the insignia stickers for?

Altmode customization, perhaps? Giving people the option of putting an Autobot or fire dept symbol anywhere one want to on the altmode?

Wouldn't it be for the shoulders? A'la ratchet, but for different reasons

Oh, true, forgot about those.

Maybe the extra Autobot stickers are for applying over the tampoed symbols if one prefers one over the other? Like I suggested they should have done with Shockwave.

Well this is just absolute sex. Like many others I'm waiting to see how Grapple will look though; think around that time we'll get a Hoist (and hence Trailbreaker) considering grapple and hoist were as much bros as inferno and red alert?

[Evil Eye]

Now THAT looks nice. Whether it looks nicer than Maketoys' or MMC's effort I don't know but it definitely looks good.

[fenrir72]

Oh noooooooooooooooooooooo He's so plain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not gonna get him

As if TT will bend over to the opinions of a noisy........very minority group to add more details when for all intents and purposes the product is already being manufactured in either Vietnam or China.

[Down_Shift]

Wow, he looks great!

I agree that he is lacking some detail, but that could still change. Some shows he's all red, some he has a black hip section.

I think my favorite thing is the fire hose accessory. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but is that the trap hose that Chumley sets for Inferno in Prime Target?

If it is, this is the best accessory ever!





I'm really looking forward to seeing this guy in hand!

[Cyberpath]

Third party Masterpiece-esque figures are generally impressive, but as usual, Takara shows who is the master. Three different 3P Inferno releases and none tried (or managed) to do away with the ladder. The official MP can even turn his head with the wings.

The alternative head-design is also a nice touch.

[Big Grim]

He looks great and hiding the ladder is VERY clever. Saying that, I'm very happy with my Maketoys Hellfire.

no no no no no, we are not dealing with red knockoff Hot Spots here!!

Most interesting thing I've read thus far.

And I'd love for them to do the whole Grapple and Hoist thing. I want my Trailbreaker!
