MP Inferno colour pics & accessories

I felt the whole masterpiece line was inconsistent throughout even in current.
One piece gets painted another gets zero despite the crazy increase in price like thrust and dirge.

the g1 toy accurate should have been a seperate line as back then colours were all full of errors and so is diaclone colours. They should have one screen accurate and stick to that not take partial comics here and there.

Takara seems to nail the design but fail in delivering a well polished piece at times. I can't say for inferno as I think he looks pretty alright and spot on.
I doubt there is any licensing required for type of fire truck?

To me the Masterpiece line was about cartoon proportions and articulation combined with the real life detail of their alt modes.

I feel this shift to the + line and interchangeable parts to be a drift away from my initial experience when I first started collecting , but at least everyone is being catered for I suppose.

yeah i pretty much feel the same although i came in late. The '+' red alert just looks bland to me. Maybe the interchangeable chest is a good compromise so you can have a plain stripped down cartoon and a detailed toy version.

It is still based on a real existing fire truck though so maybe licensing is needed. I agree with the price hike on coneheads and the other jets. They don't come with any accessories and are based on years old existing moulds.

These pics change my opinion about inferno, looks good.

But as you can see, mp-10 looks out of place. Can't wait for my mp-10 eyes to arrive

Inferno's papoose is still hella funny.

TTMall lists it as a communications device.

Pretty old school looking communications device.

The next step back from there would be to have a handle to wind and an earpiece on a wire while talking in to your arm.
