| When [[human]] archaeologists uncovered a cave filled with primitive language, [[Mini-Con]] [[Laserbeak (Armada)|Laserbeak]] translated it for them. The markings told of a time when the Maximals and Predacons crash-landed on prehistoric Earth, though the stranded Transformers were perceived by the protohumans as gods. When one of the archeologists, [[Jessica Theist]], later touched one of the markings, she was bestowed a vision of the Maximals' and Predacons' battles. In her vision she saw "a huge fire ant easily the size of a truck." {{storylink|Fire in the Dark}}

| The Beast Wars this Inferno participated in were fought not over [[energon]] but over Mini-Cons. Inferno was killed in the course of the conflict. At the moment of his death, his [[spark]] was abducted by [[Unicron]], who plucked him from [[Aurex 1104.30-JH Zeta]] to fight in the [[Universe War]]. His disembodied essence found the corpse of the recently deceased [[Red Alert (RID 2001)|Red Alert]] from [[Viron 903.0 Beta]], allowing him to return to life... although he was disappointed to learn that Red Alert's weapons were designed to ''extinguish'' fires, rather than start them. When [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] rescued him, he swore allegiance to his new queen. Although he was deprived of his usual weaponry, he remained a savage and bloodthirsty warrior. Inferno would eventually fight alongside an [[Inferno (BW)#Waspscream continuity|alternate universe-incarnation of himself]] who had become a [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/13}}

| ==Notes==
| |
| * ''Universe'' Inferno was originally supposed to be a new form of [[Red Alert (G1)|Generation 1 Red Alert]]. When the naming issue was brought up on ''Transformers'' brand designer [[Aaron Archer]]'s Orson's World forum, he said that the "Inferno" name was a mistake that somehow passed and that it was too late to do anything about it. In an attempt to deal with the confusion, the biography [[3H Productions|3H]] created for this toy to be used on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' website stated that this was an alternate universe version of ''Beast Wars'' Inferno. Though the biography was never published,<ref>http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/17406-a-curiosity-otfccs-dont-seem-to-exist/page-4#entry370392</ref> Ask Vector Prime would canonize it over a decade later.
| |
| **In doing so, Ask Vector Prime partially restored the original naming intent of the toy, explaining that ''Universe''/"Fire in the Dark" Inferno had acquired his body from a 2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Red Alert (RID 2001)|Red Alert]].
| |
| * Inferno's ''Universe'' mass-release and his wavemate [[Ratchet (Universe)#Toys|Ratchet]] were given the "group" name "Machine Robot Rescue", presumably in an attempt by [[Hasbro]] to block competitor [[Bandai]] from using the name for a potential importation of their ''{{w|Machine Robo Rescue}}'' toy series from Japan to the United States.
