In all seriousness, I see something square and white inside his torso, gotta imagine it gets folded up into his torso :-?

Still looks too plain, I love how they include 'dumbed down' bumpers to remove what little detail the figure already has

Me too, I like the hip skirt, and he has a nice chunkiness to him, I just wish it had more detailing; I'd also likely like Grapple more, but I'd rather Artfire 8-)

Figure Artfire will go the Loudpedal route of being an even exclusive :roll:

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.

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! :-D

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.

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.

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.

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...

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

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.

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 :-?
