    It's not so much the sculpts being bad but the final products are less than impressive. The plastic feels cheap & the paint applications are lackluster. The Henkei versions are much better but I'd take a Binaltech or Alternator any day of the week to the Universe figures. Silverbolt is an abomination.

    Hmmm...I'll hold out for the Henkei version. My previous TFU all have been replaced by Henkeis, so there..

    Not a bad price for the ebay item. But you're being gouged for the shipping.

    Looks good to me. I'll wait for retail, though.

    So tempting, but I think I need to see more pics for this first because it doesn't look as great as I thought.

    Probably the only Universe 2.0 voyager that I'll get unless there's some even cooler stuff down the pipe.

    After doing some measuring... 23 cm is actually GIGANTIC! Over and above the usual size for Ultra Class figures, and he's a Voyager. Weird... I'm thinking he's almost TOO big to hang with my other Classics (like Powerglide).

    I'm thinking that figure might be inaccurate, considering that if it's right, Inferno would be a bit taller than all the Animated Leader toys (at least at the head). I could see that if Inferno was tall and lanky like Lockdown, but the toy looks more on the stocky side.

    I don't know, it seems believable to me. Especially if the 17cm measurement for his length in alt-mode is correct. Vector Prime is about this same height, so I wouldn't doubt this. That and I haven't ever seen any one measurement like this turn out to be wrong. If it does turn out to be false, it doesn't really ruin the figure, imo, it'd just be nice to have a larger Autobot as most of them seem to be on the small size.

    Looks similar to energon Inferno. That torso could of been a whole lot better. I would have liked to see them make This toy refrenced to G1 Inferno and RID Prime

    I dunno... looking at this, it pretty much IS referencing G1 Inferno... as was Energon Inferno, for that matter. The Transformation scheme for all three is pretty much the same.

    Seeing as how RID Prime and Inferno looking nothing alike, I'm not sure how he can reference both. :) 

    However, I DO miss the ladder, wings and "collar" of G1 Inferno.

    While I really like the Classics/Universe 2.0, this is where I still am (as if anyone was really in the dark about that or actually cared :lol ).

    Inferno looks great. I'll hopefully be getting one once he comes out :)

    Agreed. I don't get why they do fire engines without ladders.

    And without the wings, he's just a bit anonymous looking. He lacks a sense of identity, and looks too much like a poor man's Optimus. It's probably a decent enough toy, but between boxy design and dull transformation, there's just not a lot to get exited about here.

    Thats pretty much what i was thinking as well, I like the figure and totally dig it, but it really needs the ladder. He's close to looking like prime without it. Gonna have to see if i can scrounge one up.

    Looks good to me, and i'm sure a fan made ladder will soon come out.
