Nice for those that want it, but I prefer the Generations version, as it's got more detailed apps (such as the Japanese text for "fire department" on the sides of the cab.

Looks great. I chose not to pick up Kingdom Inferno once I actually saw one in store, but I do want to support any Japanese character release I can. Even though Pulse currently has this scheduled for November, I'm still looking forward to it.

Always felt sorry for Artfire. Next to the uniform cohesiveness of Inferno and Grapple, even his Masterpiece figure looks like a mis-coloured knock-off. Then I remember Kingdom did the wrong Inferno and black-out from man-child rage.
Congrats to any Artfire fans out there. At least he'll come with a targetmaster.

Black-Out?

Not black-out as in a character, but black-out as in eyes go shut from rage and grief.

I wish they would've used a new mold Targetmaster or at least used the mold with a single barrel. As it is, I think the head can peg into the wrist so Artfire can hold Nightstick in the proper Japanese style.

Personally speaking, I am glad that I did cancel my preorder for this. 
The hollowed out areas was a big factor, sure, but so was the fact they changed Nightstick's alt-mode. As well as not add any decals on Artfire's alt-mode, which would have been fine if they decided to not have him be a Japanese firetruck.
In the end I will hope that a lot of fans here will enjoy this mold. All I can do now is just hope that HasTak will up their game with Legacy for characters like Artfire.

Still super excited for this. Personally (and I know this sounds stupid), I find Inferno to be TOO red. He's kinda boring. By adding the white, and even using dark grey for the head etc., Artfire just looks more interesting.
Also, I was already using Firedrive with Ricochet, so using him again with Artfire is perfect. A simple arm-swap, maybe a little silver paint for uniformity, and my targetmaster team will be ready to go!

That's Siege Firedrive he's holding, repurposed as Nebulon.

A Stepper/Ricochet repaint of SS86 Jazz seems like a slam dunk. But would Hasbro do another release of such an obscure character since the first one based on PotP was just 2 years ago? Normally I wouldn't be interested, but I am getting Artfire. If Stepper came with his proper Targetmaster, I could definitely see myself getting it.

Aiming more towards United myself, but I wouldn't mind a SS86 redeco. Shame Jazz has some rotten luck with his translucent car shells as of late...

Looks much cleaner without the stickers.

Glad I have this one preordered... He'll be my first Selects figure.
I'll consider putting a few different stickers on him, but definitely not all. I personally think seeing them all on is overwhelming, and yet underwhelming at the same time.
