| The name or term "Inferno" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Inferno (disambiguation). |
- Inferno is an Autobot from the Transformers portion of the movie continuity family.
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 analyze 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 first, though. Tough break.
Fiction
[edit]IDW 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 in assessing damage. Defiance #2
Inferno was part of a small group of Autobots guarding the ruins of Tyger Pax, who found themselves under attack by countless Decepticons, unaware that they guarded the true location of the AllSpark. As the onslaught intensified, their leader 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 AllSpark to be removed from the Decepticons' grasp.

- Inferno (Voyager Class, 2008)
- Accessories: Claw-missile, disc projectile, claw attachment, blaster attachment
- Known designers: Joe Kyde (deco artist)
- A Toys"R"Us exclusive redeco of 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!" The white Autobot "MC" logo tampographed on the sides of the vehicle mode appears to yellow really quickly upon taking the figure out of the box.
- 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 to his left wrist socket (or hand-held, as seen in stock photography), while his left leg guard can be unfolded to become a Mini-Con repair bay. He comes with his Mini-Con partner Longarm.
- Inferno is based on Ratchet's preproduction design, as well as Generation 1 Inferno and Tote.[1]
- This toy was also sold exclusively at The Warehouse in New Zealand.
Notes
[edit]
- Inferno's appearance in IDW's prequel comics is based on a preproduction design of Ratchet (see right). After DreamWorks decided to make Ratchet a different rescue vehicle (and green), artist Don Figueroa repurposed the original design for Inferno. This preproduction design is also used for the later toy's color scheme.[1]
- Inferno serves as the inspiration for the Animated Autobot Flashpoint.
