Fiction
Transformers vs. G.I. Joe
Following the apparent destruction of Earth, Inferno became one of the Rescuebots, a team of Autobots dedicated to protecting the G.I. Joes left on Cybertron. He formed half the chest of their combined form, Defensor, who subsequently participated in the joint "Jotobot" attack on the Decepticons. He was defeated by Trypticon and left too injured to wield his weapon, Peacemaker, but the Joe Steeler came to his rescue and used his Bridge Layer to prop up the gun, allowing Defensor to blast Trypticon.

Of Masters and Mayhem
Project: Firestormer was a program to create a new Combiner to bolster the Autobots' war machine. Ratchet, Hoist, Sideswipe, and Inferno wanted Bluestreak to join them in the initiative, but Bluestreak did not like the idea of becoming part of a Combiner. Ultimately, Project: Firestormer was never completed, presumably due to Thunder Mayhem's rampage. Lively Pursuit
Toys
Power of the Primes
- Inferno (Voyager Class, 2018)
- 4 x compatible Deluxe Class figures
- Power of the Primes Voyager Class Inferno can be linked with any four compatible Combiner Wars-style Deluxe Class figures to form an unnamed Combiner. Instructions and TakaraTomy stock photos show Blot and Cutthroat as the left and right arms, respectively, while Moonracer and Sinnertwin form the left and right legs, respectively. Meanwhile, Wreck-Gar's instructions show him as the left arm, Rippersnapper as the right arm, with Blot and Sinnertwin as the left and right legs, respectively. Finally, the lateral packaging art for Inferno and Wreck-Gar shows Jazz as the left arm (with the right arm not in view) while Slug and Sludge form the left and right legs, respectively.
- As a Power of the Primes Combiner, a Prime Master, Matrix core, or Enigma can be installed within the Inferno Combiner's hands or feet, such as the "Autobot Enigma" that comes packed with Inferno. They cannot be installed in the Combiner's chest as the Inferno mold does not include a space for such a piece due to being retooled from an older mold.
Notes
- The Inferno Combiner's right arm is obscured out of view on Power of the Primes packaging art, but line-artist Robby Musso eventually posted an uncropped view depicting Moonracer/Novastar as the drawn limb in question.
- The packaging for Deluxe Class Wreck-Gar also included the Inferno Combiner art despite Wreck-Gar not being part of the artwork.[1]
