The horrors of war left many Autobots in emotional turmoil, unsure whether there was even a point to functioning. That's where the psychologist '''Inferno''' comes in. Using complicated diagnostic programs to analyse the feelings of his fellow Autobots, he then adds and adjusts software and code to let his patients cope with their feelings.

Everyone still recognizes [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] first, though. Tough break.

====IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics====

After the alien invasion that was a precursor to the Transformers' civil war, Inferno was among a handful of Autobots who assisted [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] in assessing damage. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2}}

Inferno, part of a small group of Autobots guarding the ruins of [[Tyger Pax]], found themselves under attack by countless [[Decepticon|Decepticons]], unaware that they guarded the true location of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]]. As the onslaught intensified, their leader [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] led them into a suicide play, giving them some clue of the true importance of their mission. They collapsed the ruined substructure around themselves, trapping as many Decepticons with them as possible and buying precious time for the All Spark to be removed from the Decepticons' grasp.

Inferno suffered major torso damage at the <s>hands</s> thrusters of a [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]-type drone just before the roof collapsed and was not seen again. His fate remains unknown. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Prime Directive issue 1}}

{{note|Inferno was unnamed in either appearance. For his appearance in the first movie prequel, his name was supplied by artist [[Don Figueroa]], though colorist [[Josh Burcham]] claimed he is merely a generic. His second appearance was based on his toy.}}

===Transformers (2007)===
[[Image:Movie Inferno toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|EN-FUR-NOH! WOO-WOO-WOO-WOO-WOO!]]
*'''Inferno''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories'': Claw-missile, disc projectile, claw attachment, blaster attachment

: A [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]] redeco of ''[[Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]], Inferno transforms into a red Nissan Patrol rescue SUV. When a [[Mini-Con]] is attached to his hood-mounted Mini-Con port, the grille springs open. Pulling back on the attached Mini-Con launches a rescue disk/missile. Similarly, when a Mini-Con is used on his emergency lights port and is pushed forward, the sirens flash and a voice chip activates. It still says "RED UH-LURT! WOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOO!"

: In robot mode, pulling back on the Mini-Con unlocks a shoulder-mounted missile/rescue grappling claw launcher, which can also be detached and held in his hand. His right leg guard contains several tools that can be attached onto his left wrist socket, while his left leg guard can be unfolded to become a Mini-Con repair bay. He comes with his Mini-Con partner [[Longarm (Movie Mini-Con)|Longarm]].

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Prowl (Energon)|Prowl]].

==Notes==
[[Image:Movie Ratchet 2005Concept.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Ratchet preferred yellow, so Inferno gets sloppy seconds.]]
* Inferno's appearance in [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s [[Movie Prequel (2007)|prequel comics]] was based on the preproduction design of Movie [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] (see right). After [[DreamWorks]] decided to make Ratchet a different rescue vehicle and yellow, artist [[Don Figueroa]] repurposed the original design for Inferno.

* Later, Inferno got a toy via inspiration from the same preproduction materials. According to [[Hasbro]] designer [[Joe Kyde]]'s [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=News/Item&newsid=4EC7EA7D-D56F-E112-46AC70D02754072E design notes on Hasbro's Transformers website], Generation 1 [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], the preproduction color scheme of movie [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], and [[Micromaster]] [[Tote]] were inspirations for Inferno's color scheme.
