Inferno

The thing I like most about the three War for Cybertron lines is their re-imagining of the core G1 characters. They are so good that they are likely the last versions of these characters I will ever buy. Inferno is from the Kingdom series, and he is just plain awesome.

He’s a Voyager class, which means about 10 more bucks than the Deluxe class. The box is nice. There’s a trading card stuck to the inside of the insert, if you are into that sort of thing.

Inferno in robot mode is perfectly proportioned. He shares about 90% of the mold with Grapple, but the head and ladder assembly are different. However the paint makes him look like an entirely different figure.

He’s littered with connection points for other accessories. If you count the holes in the hands, and the holes that the hoses plug into, he has 16 connection points.

Articulation is pretty spectacular for a chunky boy. He just looks so good in almost any pose. It’s the perfect G1 reimagining.

He’s got a large gun that has three different connection points on it, as well as an alternate nozzle attachment that can be attached when the hand is flipped around.

Transformation to truck mode is super easy, and instructions are really not needed. He transforms just like you would expect him to.

In firetruck mode, the ladder can turn, elevate and extend. The gun that was next to Inferno’s head now attaches to the end of the ladder. The nozzle-hand attachment attaches to a tab on one side of the ladder for storage, and the gun attaches to the back.
