Sorry, bro, you're gonna have to wait until Cybertron Prime needs another repaint. C'mon, it's their new thing.onslaught86 wrote:

Okay, but what if they did an Animated Prime in light blue? (Shrug), maybe with a trailer, I dunno.onslaught86 wrote:Gah, I don't like CyberPrime, he's clunky and boring and vastly overrated. Really hasn't aged well. I'd actually sooner get that bloody OTFCC Defensor that people like to harp on about, and I'm a bit sick of Fire Convoy too..
I'm not a huge fan of firetrucks or of the character in specific, so it needs to have something special to get my money, and nothing you've mentioned sounds particularly special.onslaught86 wrote:Dude! You cannot pass up Inferno, he is truly fantastic. Looks much more boring than he is in package, as I believe Dom also noted. Vehicle mode's a bit panelly, but transformation's pleasing. The robot is superbly articulated with a great new hip design. It's kind of like the annoying way they worked it with Energon Omega Supreme/Classics Jetfire and Astrotrain, but there are swivels both above and below the thigh, plus hinges to the sides, so he can shift his weight nicely. Headsculpt's grand, looks nicely realistic as a robot, very stable and with non-intrusive automorph and cannon gimmicks. Aside from the panels (Which are only an issue when transforming him back to vehicle mode), I can't see anything you'd dislike about the toy.JediTricks wrote:Quick question: what's special about Inferno's robot mode that warrants $20? This is the question I kept asking myself as I held the figure in my hands at the store, and every time I couldn't see anything so I put him back.
I admit I'm biased because I love firetruck toys and had a childhood experience with G2 Inferno (Whom I never owned), but this is a shining example of Universe done right. Friends have mistaken him for actually being G1 Inferno, heh.

Sounds like it'd look too much like Animated Ultra Magnus.138 Scourge wrote:Okay, but what if they did an Animated Prime in light blue? (Shrug), maybe with a trailer, I dunno.
Right, okay, but what, it was just gonna be Fire Convoy repainted into Defensor? Elaborate!Onslaught Six wrote:That Titanium Hot Spot you like so much? It's the real version of that, and it never happened.138 Scourge wrote:So, what's this OTFCC Defensor of which you speak?
Yes, yes there is, but this was easier and I was pressed for time. Thanks!Onslaught Six wrote:...It was gonna look exactly like the thing you already got. Except with a new Super Mode head. And not a Titanium.
My God, man, there's a Transformers Wiki for a reason! Yes, it's oddly going down a lot lately, but it's there, use it!

(Yes, that's vague, but you can surely find it from there!)
I've certainly seen enough pics of the static figure, so a lengthy review or photos of it doing something special might explain it.onslaught86 wrote:I may have to review him in full, or take a decent gallery of pics. Inferno is one of the highlights of a line I felt was largely mediocre.
