my new TF collections~ Inferno~

Inferno in Fire Rescue mode.

The front end of Inferno's vehicle mode starts out as boxy on the bottom, but his windshield angles inward a bit leading to a flat top. Then that part goes straight back to another piece that angles upward before angling back down and stretching back into the most boxy part of the vehicle.

This is mostly due to the large water cannon mounted onto the top of the truck which fires a translucent blue missile shaped like liquid, simulating a "water blast". Inferno is cast in dark red, gunmetal, black, dark grey, translucent blue and clear plastic. The red is the dominant color, making up most of the vehicle. The black is used for parts like his cannon, wheels and the seats inside the cabin. The gunmetal colored plastic is used on the mid-section of the vehicle and the boosters in the back. The translucent plastic is used for parts like his windshield and the sirens. Sure there are no real surprises here, but the colors are perfect for the character, but of course there's more to Inferno than that.

Running along the sides of the vehicle you'll find everything from tech details to pressure gauges to doors for storage compartments. Handles on the top of the vehicle and layers of mechanical detail on his water cannon add to his nicely sculpted appearance.


In Robot mode.

Coupled with the panels on his shoulders that can be positioned in different ways, Inferno definitely looks very striking!. Universe Inferno takes a couple of the basic elements from the original Inferno and updates them. Inferno standing at about 7.25 inches tall. The head design is based off of G1 Inferno's with a serious expression on his faceincluding a large central crest and two smaller extensions on either side. He even has small "wings" sweeping back on his head, a reference to similarly shaped "wings" he had on the G1 figure which mounted on either side of his head. Inferno's arm design is based on the G1 figure, which had a vertical rectangle with horizontal lines stacked on top of each other on his shoulders. His lower arms had four raised segments going around the entire arm, just like this Inferno does.




Like the vehicle mode, Inferno is choc full of detail in this form. In addition to his aforementioned details, his feet have two pistons sculpted in each while his inner thighs have tube detailing. Overall there is some fantastic detail on this figure.

Hope you all enjoys~ hehe..

INF
ERNO (UNIVERSE)
Though search and rescue is his primary function – and one he happens to be very good at – INFERNO loves nothing more than a good fight. In fact, he will often abandon his duties or even ignore direct orders, just to go antagonize DECEPTICONS. He especially loves to get up close to his enemies, where the energy-damping field he generates to help suppress fires can eliminate the effectiveness of their weapons. He uses the chemical foam sprayed from his arm cannon to blind opponents as often as he uses it to put out fires.
