He said a little while back that Inferno was the best (or one of the best, I forget) voyagers from POTP. I didn't say anything but I clearly couldnt believe it. He is by far the laziest toy of the bunch since the only retooled element is his head. WEAK!
I wasnt gonna get him but when I saw him in the store, he looked fine. The head looked good, the colours too and thanks to coupons, I got him for -2$ (pretty much he cost $22 and my total order before buying him was $30 and I had a "save 25$ on an order over 50$" coupon so I bought him to save 2$ on what I was already buying).
And you know what? D-Max could be right. Maybe not the best (that probably goes to Hun Gurrr), but up there and better than Grimlock and the jets. He looks good as Inferno. And its not like Hotspot wears the mold better, the alt mode looks nothing like G1 for either of them so its fair game. the colours look great, that red is perfect. Very vibrant (better than the red used on the Classics Inferno). And it makes a cool red and white combiner torso. The plastic also feels better on Inferno than Hotspot and I like how they painted the light bar. It just works and it makes me enjoy the hot spot mold more than when Hot Spot was wearing it.
So yeah D-Max, I have no problems with Inferno. No even with the stickers. He looks good and feels good, and I dont think I need more than that.
Yeah, I did say he was the best.
And I totally feel this. You all probably remember how frustrated I was with the whole idea of the figure.
But he's one of those figures where in hand, he kills. Will nails every point: while he's not "G1" Inferno with too much, he is a great Inferno, a Cybertronian version even, that feels better than any other version of the mold, makes 3 great molds, and fixes all the issues of the old takes.
Well said Will. I'm sort of glad it's not just me that find Inferno much better and worth it in hand.
