Prototype Masterpiece Inferno

[DELTAprime]

Hope I can order him soon from HLJ.

He has no thighs.

That's my only criticism.

At first glance, he looked a little thick... but comparing with the cartoon, he pretty much looks spot on except thankfully better in waist design. Compared to his "competition", takes almost no liberties with the source material (click for larger):



Which is personally to my taste Makes you wonder if the reason TT has doubled down on cartoon accuracy is because the others are taking more inspiration from the toys? He is fairly clearly differentiated from the others. Seems his ladder is quite well collapsed too!

Bring back MP01 style, still my favourite masterpiece to date

You mean the only actual masterpiece that is truely worthy being called a masterpiece. Yup I agree.

The head sculpt seems to be G1 toy accurate, rather than toon accurate...

[kurdt_the_goat]

I thought so too (realised after i posted!)... but then I searched on Google... he seems to have the other ears (like the MP) in some cartoon shots as well, so i'm not sure!

Maketoys one is far off, I think I will buy this but not open it.

[kurdt_the_goat]

Yeap is pretty easy to spot the likeness. For proof, i asked my wife which was official (not showing logos) ... and she said right away "Not that one" to the Maketoys, then soon after, decided on the official one

[Robzy]

Looks fantastic

Still find it a little odd they went with Inferno so soon after Ironhide.
At a glance they're very similar looking thanks to the chest windscreen and colours. If they wanted to do this mould, perhaps they should have done Grapple first.
