Inferno (G1)
From MediaWiki
Inferno is an Autobot in Generation 1 continuity.
Inferno is one gung-ho robot, ready and willing to roll out into the thick of any action at the drop of a hat. If the mission is search and rescue he's one of the best bots to have around, but he's even happier when called on to fight himself. Nothing gets Inferno's circuits going like a one on one with a few Decepticon trouble makers. Durring his down time he can generally be found hanging out with Red Alert and trying his best to keep Red out of trouble.
Fiction
Marvel Comics Continuity
Inferno had a tendency to die. Repeatedly. He never let this keep him down.

Voice Actor: Walker Edmiston (US), Takurō Kitagawa (Japan)
Toys
Generation 1
- Inferno (Autobot, 1985)
- Japanese ID number: 10
- This mold was redecoed and partially retooled to make the Targetmaster Artfire.
- Inferno with Hydro-Pack (Action Master, 1990)
Generation 2
- Inferno (Autobot Heroic, 1993)
- For Generation 2, Inferno's original toy was re-used with virtually no deco changes, adding only the "Autobot" tampograph. His forearms were retooled to remove the spring-loaded launcher mechanism (the chromed missiles from the original releases were also dropped), but he came with a large red water-shooting cannon that clipped to his ladder.
Trivia
- Inferno's original toy, slightly modified, was knocked off and used as the titular giant robot in the Korean animated film Phoenix King (피닉스킹). Phoenix King was dubbed (horribly) and released in America by Digiview Entertainment as Defenders of Space, generally selling for the bargain price of $1.00. Scenes of "Inferno" from this movie were also incorporated into another bargain film distributed by Digiview Entertainment, Space Thunder Kids.
- In the late 1990s, a knockoff of G2 Inferno with some yellow parts was sold in discount stores on a card reading "Transformers: Generation 3."
