Title:

Transformers Power Of The Primes Inferno

Description:
Loose

Inferno (Voyager Class, 2018)
TakaraTomy ID number: PP-36
Accessories: Two rifles, 2 Prime Armor/combiner feet, Autobot Enigma

The only figure in the third wave of Power of the Primes Voyager Class figures, Inferno is a retool of Combiner Wars Protectobot Hot Spot, and he transforms from a firetruck resembling a modified Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 to a robot. Inferno can form the torso of an unnamed combiner using any selection of Combiner Wars-style Deluxe Class figures as limbs. He also includes Prime Armor that can hold a Prime Master (and by extension, a Titan Master, Enigma, or Matrix core) and can turn into feet for said unnamed combiner. Samples shown at the Australian Toy Fair 2018 and stock renders show his Prime Armor is redecoed from Hun-Gurrr’s, while boxed samples shown at that same Toy Fair and the Hasbro TakaraTomy stock photography (shown to the left) has them redecoed from Starscream’s. The final product uses Starscream’s, most likely due to his Prime Armor having fold out 5 mm posts, as opposed to Hun-Gurrr’s 5 mm holes. Like all the other Voyager Class figures, Inferno includes an Enigma of Combination (dubbed the Autobot Enigma), based on a Prime Master, which can attach to Inferno via the previously mentioned Prime Armor. The Autobot Enigma in this case is not the same as the one Elita-1 carries, but is a redeco of Hun-Gurrr’s Terrorcon Enigma. Unlike all other Power of the Primes Voyager Class figures, his Enigma can’t be placed onto the torso in combined mode due to being a minor retool from an older line (though this can be fixed by pegging a prime armor into the chest pegs of the combiner). On the plus side, this also means he is the only voyager class figure in the line to grant a weapon to his combined form, being a giant sniper rifle formed by plugging his twin launchers end-to-end.
Inferno’s box and card artwork depicts him with the chest and shoulders of the Onslaught version of the mold (with the chest slightly tweaked to remove the detail that mimicked G1 Onslaught’s chest sticker). However, the final toy only uses tooling from Hot Spot, implying a change late in production. Additionally, there is a slight bit of retooling where his legs collapse into torso mode- where all previous versions of the mold have a simple slot for the tab on the robot thigh to slide into, the retooling creates a slot for the tab to peg into, creating a more secure leg for the combined mode.
