Robot Mode
Inferno has received a new head along the lines of his G1 incarnation. This is predominantly the reason I ended up picking him up as otherwise he would have looked like either Hot Spot or Pyra Magna/Megaempress. He comes with Hot Spots two guns which he can either hold in his hands, or be attached to the gestalt feet and then his back to form shoulder cannons.
Vehicle Mode
Like all others of the mould he transforms into a Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 Fire Truck. He has his big long white ladder back like the G1 version which I believe is an improvement over the water cannon the Universe and Energon versions sported. However he is so long in this mode you can't help but think 'This is Hot Spot cosplaying as Inferno'.
Worth Getting?
It's a hard call. In some ways this version of Inferno is superior to the Universe version that came out a decade ago. However in some ways he is inferior too. For the most part though I think I'll be playing with my Masterpiece version more.
