Toy Review - MP-33 Inferno

[kurdt_the_goat]

What is MP Inferno's length according to the instructions?

L: 9.31m
W: 2.48m
H: 2.7m

You can do the maths for me :P. Just to my eye it looks about right; there's a fire station just around the corner from where i live with a bunch of newer model trucks.

Having said that, the Diaclone stats were only off by 16cm, so it's a reasonably close approximation (bearing in mind that Diaclone was targeted at children who wouldn't have noticed the discrepancy )

Should we also bear in mind that those same children are now grown men though?

Inferno appears with both heads in the G1 cartoon, one is based on the cartoon model (left) and the other is more toy-accurate (right). You can see that the cartoon model head has a broader face while the toy-accurate head has a more tapered face. Inferno actually appeared more frequently with a toy-accurate head in the G1 cartoon. IIRC he only appeared in the cartoon with the toon model head in just two episodes; Auto Berserk and Kremzeek!. In all other eps he appeared with a toy-accurate head. Inferno did use the Dery-model head consistently throughout the G1 comics though.

Yeah i know, still doesn't make the decision which to use any easier, they both look good in MP toy form!

Look, just because I'm Asian -- okay, fine.

Thanks, and there was no racism here, i'm just lazy
I used to be a maths whiz back in the day!

That looks like Lamborghini Gallardo in your pic instead of the LP-500S - but anyway, yeah somewhere the scale is going wrong cause MP Inferno definitely isn't two car lengths. But proportionally it seems right anyway, and with the robot height working out perfect, there's really no problem!

I know, I was just being silly. Truth be told, my maths was actually rather ordinary in school.

I just Googled clip arts for a fire engine (which isn't a Mitsubishi Fuso) and for Lamborghini just for the purposes of demonstrating scale. Ceebs to scour through the interwebs for perfect side on photos of a Fuso and Countach! #alsolazy

Hmm. I like this mould.

0 attachment to the character but the engineering has drawn me in, can't wait for grappel and the diaclone repaints

As for scale I think he's scaled to be slightly smaller than prime, stand side to side with ironhide, but it certainly ain't realistic, by rights mp10's truck shouldn't be so massive compared to him, thankfully g1's scaling was all over the place so as long as he isn't taller than prime it works XD
