Inferno (Kre-O)

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 Kre-O continuity family.

Inferno is as happy fighting a fire as he is in the middle of a battle against the Decepticons. He spends most of his time looking for fires to put out with his fire-suppressing foam, which results in him often spoiling Singe's fun, but Inferno says Singe shouldn't be setting things on fire in the first place.

Fiction

Kre-O online comics

Inferno dove into a burning building whilst ignoring the advice of his partner, Red Alert, leading to Alert being hurt by falling debris. Being responsible, he felt really bad about his actions until Optimus Prime comforted him, telling him that blaming himself wouldn't make Red Alert feel any better. While responding to another emergency, Inferno was contacted by Red Alert who was again ready to offer advice, and once the fire was put out, the two apologized to each other and reaffirmed their friendship.

Toys

Kre-O

• Inferno (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2012/2015)
  • Bag number: 22851 41
  • Accessories: Logo brick, wrist-blaster

Part of the first normal wave of Micro-Changer Kreons, Inferno is a blindpacked-bagged mini-figure, though a stamped ID number can be found on the back of the bag, top-right corner. He comes with extra bits to turn him into something that might be described as a fire engine.

He uses Sentinel Prime's helmet... which was patterned after the original Inferno in the first place.

• Kreon Class of 1985 (Kreon figure set, 2015)
  • Accessories: Scoped pistol

Voted "Class Hottie" by the Kreon Class of '85, this version of Inferno features a deco much more accurate to the original 1985 toy. Like the rest of the set, he uses the updated, almost-totally-retooled 2015 style Kreon body.

• Inferno (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2016)
  • Collection: 1
  • Accessories: Logo plate, wrist-blaster

In 2016, Collection 1 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released Kre-O sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Inferno's torso and face tampographs have also been reworked to be slightly more detailed, and the formerly-bare legs now have extra detail tampographing on them. The 1x1 top-clip piece is also slightly different from the original, with a much lower-set clip.

Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.
