I've been waiting for this guy, but I'm glad I didn't get Grapple now. They really should have done a bit more remolding to set these two apart as they are almost a repaint with just different heads. I think even as little as a different chest/cab piece would have made an enormous difference.
@@Kuwagattai scale really didn’t matter much in beast wars. Ratrap, blackarachnia, tarantulas, waspinator & inferno were all huge in alt mode compared to the real counterparts
Thanks for another great review! I was a little bit cold on this figure but I'm glad to see it turned out so well! I don't like that the lights on the front are simply silver, and I wish the legs had more black or silver, but they don't look as bad as I was imagining. I think I might have wait until I see him for a nice price, (as I already have Grapple) but if I hadn't already picked up this mold I would have gladly purchased Inferno.
Honestly I bet the reason why they didn’t is because they’re afraid he would shelf warm like the original toy and it’s Transmetal version that they renamed like back in the day
@@Archive_7802 Totally, and I hope he makes it, he’s definitely way more interesting then scorpinok who was a literal moron and didn’t really deserve to be megatron’s number 2, (should have been terrorsaur since he was the Starscream of the show Shame they killed him off)
My childhood trauma. Our neighbor who has this toy store, came to our house in a holiday time and bring some gifts, wrapped of course.And I thought that is INFERNO! He knew I was watching it everyday behind the glass of the store. And nope! It was a cologne. F..king Turkish Lemon Cologne (I am Turkish btw). And that moment was a trauma moment for a 8 years old boy. But now i am gonna buy this as a 40 years old man, and f...king play with it!
I still like the Earthrise Grapple, but this Kingdom Inferno's clearly a definite improvement, especially in the case of the peg to foot attachments in the vehicle mode. :)
i thought the mold was meant more for this figure rather than grapple, and this and cyclonus are actually 2 of the figures i was most excited to get more than the BW characters... glad they fixed the pegs that tab onto the feet, but knowing my bad luck with hasbro, i'm sure i'm going to get a defective product yet again well done as always bro 👍🏻😀
I wish they weren't adhering so rigidly to cartoon scale for robot mode, he's way too tiny in vehicle mode. I kind of hope a slightly oversized KO gets made, otherwise I'll have to go with the earlier Universe version.
I just found Inferno (and Dinobot, which I pre-ordered from Target already) at a couple Wal-Marts today stateside, and I'm very happy they fixed some of the gripes I had with Grapple's mold. I've been watching leaks and rumors and there may be GS Artfire in the future with this mold, though I hope that if that's the case, there will also be a GS Ricochet using the SS Jazz mold, that way I don't have to get the Ricochet based on PotP Jazz. I'm not happy that the Prime Wars figures don't scale very well with the WfC figures.
I got that card with Huffer, too. So they seem to include new motives for the actual cards in wave 02. I really like this one and it's especially nice that Optimus is the same motive on both the cover/foil and actual card but with different backgrounds. And this Inferno wouldn't fit into the Selects line as it has more retooling than just its head. But we'll get Artfire in the Selects line what I'm really looking forward to. But I prefer Grapple's claw over Inferno's new accessories.
I got grapple but was super peeved with those pegs breaking off, so that being fixed on top of the beautiful shade of red is really making me consider getting him
I want this so much, don't really like beast wars. So the only figure I going to buy for now is the warpath and this inferno,glad it's not a generation selects as those are impossible to find here
I didn't realize Kingdom was meant to be a beastwars line...I do agree that this release of Inferno would have made more sense in the classics or generation selects line. Btw TFSafari has a gap filler kit for him. I ordered one and will probably do a quick review of it.
Great review man! I have Inferno on order ever since they made preorder available for him. I too had Grapple and his rear pegs snapped and jammed in his feet. I took him back and got my money back. Having seen your review with him next to Inferno I’m kinda thinking I’ll pick another up and just shave those pegs. The two of them look awesome together.
Has pulse sent me this figure because the pistol that came with my Cyclonus was broken (they had no more Cyclonus to replace). I absolutely love this figure. I liked him in G1 and this is very accurate.
Excellent review as always bro. Im in the minority but I prefer Grapple over inferno. Now I want a construction colored Hauler out of this mold and a proper BW Inferno different mold down the line that they probably will not do
I absolutely love them giving us G1 Inferno but I do agree, kingdom should of been beast wars inferno and G1 inferno should of been a generations selects or amazon thing.
Great review PrimeVsPrime!!!!!!!!! :D It's rumored that Inferno is going to be repainted into Artfire in the Generations Selects line, fingers crossed that turns out to be true. :D Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
I have no knowledge about Grapple whatsoever.. but i think he looks better than Inferno. I'll grab whichever i see on the shelves. Thanks for the review!
Not sure why you think this needs to be released in Generations Select. He is a main character and not a repaint. Perhaps, Hauler or Art-Fire could be released in Generations Select. I don't recall Hauler ever being in G1 either.
I was wondering about the peg issue that Grapple had and if it carried over to Inferno. The very first time I transformed Grapple to vehicle mode and back, one of the pegs got stuck and broke off. Really disappointed me as I really loved the look of Grapple. Hopefully I can get another one. If I see this Inferno in the wild, I will get him.
I remember the original G1 Infernal and Grapple had really fickle head pieces. A lot of friends had those figures with missing heads cus it would often break off during transformation.
Laurence Olivier once said that a performer should never show an audience his top… because once you show them your top, they know you got no place else to go.
I’m a fucking genius. I just realized that hasbro probably didn’t release inferno in gen selects because they might recolor him into artfire for Gen selects which would allow them to also make battle master Nightstick to come with artfire like how he did for the G1 Japanese toy and in the WFC universe they could have that nightstick be the same as Cyclonus’ targetmaster partner and have it be like he defects to the decepticons. It’s an absolutely genius way for them to 1. Make more money out of the mold 2. Give us another modern obscure character in Gen selects 3. Make battlemaster nightstick since they haven’t yet, and 4. Have a way to release a battlemaster nightstick since they’re done with battlemasters in kingdoms
Sorry for the bad news,but........................ Metroplex, Earthmode Hound, Beast wars Inferno are not happening Edit:I forgot about Beast wars Silverbolt and Terrorsaur
Well, it seems that Kingdom - not including the Fossilizers - is more focused on perhaps *early* season 1 of Beast Wars...since ol' fire ant Inferno was later on, who knows? Besides, that doesn't seem like a mold that they could easily retool or repaint into somebody else. 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Great review, I will be getting one - thanks for helping me decide. One question, will you be sanding down those pegs? I had a peg get very distressed before i ended up sanding them all down on Grapple.
As always great review. Though i am not a fan of G1 i must admit that like '94 i have this Transformer and he transforms very similar to this model, especially in the head area. Nice to see that i might got him again after do many long years. 😉 Hovewer i like more movie Sentinel Prime if we talk about fire truck Transformers.
while i like bw inferno more than g1 inferno, im glad this got made. i dont like the old generations inferno, and didnt get the cw one. so this one is very welcome
I kinda hope he ends up being a bit of a shelf warmer so I have a good opportunity to actually get one. I never agree that anything should be a generations selects since that usually means it'll be hard to get and be unreasonably expensive in the after market.
Thanks for the review and i am going to pick this guy up as soon as he comes out. I have been doing a video series teaching the blind how to transform their transformers and the Grapple mold will be a video on that series. the series is called: Blindformers
Grapple has never been a character I care for but to me this is a great toy. The figure as a robot looks great and the fire engine, come on show me a kid who don’t like a good fire engine and this is a good fire engine
I'm more excited for this then any of the ones coming out I dont know why I just feel like he's one figure that really needed in update after potp inferno and I was ok with grapple but inferno just looks so so incredible and I just want him
This inferno is really a quality release given it's a retool.
Pretty much yes
Always has been
I am disappointed that he did not pose inferno carrying red alert just like in that one g1 episode

Grapple comes with a really cool grapple weapon, which looks insane on display.
LOL, this is the figure I'm currently most looking forward to the most - plus Gen Selects is hopefully going to give us an Artfire.
I'm skipping this one and ER Grapple. I really like the Classics version, I have the Artfire exclusive too. Thanks for the review PvP!!!
That's for reminding me I don't have any lol
Ah the classics version also looks very nice! Thanks for checking it out! :)
@@PrimeVsPrime i believe we will get bw inferno

just watch, selects deluxe inferno, a retool of a the inevitable deluxe waspinator

I was today years old when I realized that Roadblock from TF Energon was really Grapple. Hence why in that filler episode both "Infernos" showed up.
Totally agree. Beast wars inferno would’ve been epic. We need and want more beast wars!!!!!!
They could do both
@@hero-bo7qc kind of, but we’ve had siege and earthrise for regular bots. We need more beast wars
Earthrise was cut short so I think they're releasing remaining figures

@@rennwagena4831 the figures were cut short
A pretty cool Inferno. Now I can put up my Energon one. I do hope we get the BW inferno in the late wave of Kingdom.
Apparently inferno is going to come out in 2022 alongside tarantulas and maybe terrorsaur. So we’re sadly going to have to wait a bit to get that
i thought the mold was meant more for this figure rather than grapple, and this and cyclonus are actually 2 of the figures i was most excited to get more than the BW characters...
glad they fixed the pegs that tab onto the feet, but knowing my bad luck with hasbro, i'm sure i'm going to get a defective product yet again
well done as always bro 👍🏻😀
Been waiting for Inferno. Definitely gonna get him.
Cool, I myself also want this when I have a chance to buy. I wish you more good reviews!
I wish they weren't adhering so rigidly to cartoon scale for robot mode, he's way too tiny in vehicle mode. I kind of hope a slightly oversized KO gets made, otherwise I'll have to go with the earlier Universe version.
Yeah this figure should have been a generations selects and the kingdom spot given to beast wars inferno, but hey thats just my personal opinion.
A very right opinion.
Different molds, also it would make it a pain to find. Generations selects is just repaints with at most a new head sculpt
But generation selects are so hard to find tho
Only problem is Nightstick would’ve probably been completely abandoned
I just found Inferno (and Dinobot, which I pre-ordered from Target already) at a couple Wal-Marts today stateside, and I'm very happy they fixed some of the gripes I had with Grapple's mold. I've been watching leaks and rumors and there may be GS Artfire in the future with this mold, though I hope that if that's the case, there will also be a GS Ricochet using the SS Jazz mold, that way I don't have to get the Ricochet based on PotP Jazz. I'm not happy that the Prime Wars figures don't scale very well with the WfC figures.
New Autobots join Optimus Prime. Smokescreen, Tracks, Hoist, Inferno, Red Alert, and Grapple. And joining the evil Decepticons, Thrust and Dirge.
Excellent figure and review. Thank you very much for speaking about the peg issue.
I'll definitely buy this, as soon as I can.
I really love this mold, glad they fixed the peg issue
Also really hope they make it in constructicon green for
Road Hauler
They did fix the peg issue, it’s a lot better on inferno than grapple
@@PrimeVsPrime sorry pvp, posted before watching, heard from tfw2005 that they hadn’t fixed it, glad to see in your video that they did

Awesome review, keep it up
Thanks for the review, I feel much better towards getting inferno
I remember in the 80s I cant afford to buy a G1 Optimus Prime but instead I had Inferno as my Autobot Leader. Need to get this one!
Thanks for the review! I do wish they would have made the grey parts white for more G1 accuracy, though.

Noice review . I need to buy this autobot .
He is easy to transform! And sturdy!!
Thanks 👍
I still love that the transformation for this mold is basically the exact same as the original G1 toys, just with some added flair.
We’re definitely still going to get a BW Inferno. Great review as always PvP :)
I got grapple but was super peeved with those pegs breaking off, so that being fixed on top of the beautiful shade of red is really making me consider getting him
I have been waiting for you to do this
No matter if it's Earthrise or Kingdom, I will always call them G1 figure.
same.
i just want them to scale together though 😅
I want this so much, don't really like beast wars. So the only figure I going to buy for now is the warpath and this inferno,glad it's not a generation selects as those are impossible to find here
I don't care for beast wars, but I need waspinator
I love transformers. I’m obsessed with it and I love inferno. I’m trying to collect the whole kingdom line but that may take a while.
The Kingdom shelfwarmer :3
I can’t wait for the gen selects Artfire.
Really liked this Inferno. Thinking about getting this one or the KO masterpiece
I really like this mold. I didn't think I would but it's super possible and you can add a weaponizer
got this one coming with Dinobot this friday. looking forward to it. great review as always =)
Glad they painted his helmet black, I thought that was overlooked for grapple

I didn’t get grapple for this, so it better be good!
what makes grapple great is the grapple hook weapon that is coming with it.

Not complaining about the Autobot toys but why the hell aren't we getting as much Decepticons?!
Yeah exactly, i love the autobots but they sure are outnumbering the cons
Man, the colours on this really help do the mold justice. Grapple's solid orange just did nothing for it.
Can't wait to get this and BW inferno from Legacy.
I think that beast wars Inferno will maybe introduced in the next g1 inspired line like g1scorpi knock and beast wars scorpi knock
Can’t wait for him and voyager Dinobutt
As always great review. Though i am not a fan of G1 i must admit that like '94 i have this Transformer and he transforms very similar to this model, especially in the head area. Nice to see that i might got him again after do many long years. 😉 Hovewer i like more movie Sentinel Prime if we talk about fire truck Transformers.
i prefer inferno over grapple in my opinion
Me too!
Not me, what makes grapple the better choice is the grapple weapon that it comes with. Just crazy good poses he have because of that signature weapon.
I wonder if they will use that mold again for one or two more figures?
This inferno being in the kingdom series, makes perfect sense haven’t you seen fire trucks hunt gazelle in the wilds of Africa
Hey are the tabs for the alt mode fixed because? my er grappels snapped
while i like bw inferno more than g1 inferno, im glad this got made. i dont like the old generations inferno, and didnt get the cw one. so this one is very welcome

I kinda hope he ends up being a bit of a shelf warmer so I have a good opportunity to actually get one.

I think he is gonna look great with the seige red alert
Thank god they fixed the worst flaw with Grapple.
Super happy that Inferno has 17 steps, me and my brother's voyager figures have more steps than that
I feel a selects Artfire in the distance and hopefully a new Ricochet but I doubt that would happen.
Grapple has never been a character I care for but to me this is a great toy. The figure as a robot looks great and the fire engine, come on show me a kid who don’t like a good fire engine and this is a good fire engine
I'm more excited for this then any of the ones coming out I dont know why I just feel like he's one figure that really needed in update after potp inferno and I was ok with grapple but inferno just looks so so incredible and I just want him
What are the cards for?? Why do they peel off???
