    I just got three copies, one with painted thighs and two with red plastic. Why is the one without paint better in your opinion? Because of chipping? I will send back 2 copies. In my opinion the painted one looks better, and I think it will look better with the painted upgrade parts.

    The painted variant looks more premium, IMO. Haven’t had any issues with paint chipping so far.

    I do agree, the molded plastic looks a bit cheaper, paint gives a more premium finish

    Two reasons. The first is that I don't have to worry about paint shipping. I always prefer parts molded in the correct color rather than painted. The second is that the connector tabs that go into the arms are too wide with the paint on them, and have caused stress marks. I could stand off the paint sure, but I shouldn't have to. Especially after all the elbow grease I put in making Grapple functional.

    Thanks for the reply. I went with the painted one, because it looks better in my opinion, especially because my upgrade kit has painted parts for the inner thigh. But I will be careful with the pegs due to your remarks, so thanks

    I got Inferno today, and he's amazing. Tons of articulation, a fun alt mode, and goes great with your chug collection. Pick him up sometime!
    Also awhile ago, I asked for comparison pics between him and Generations Red Alert, so I supplied them myself.

    Also geez, Red Alert is huge and hard as a bitch to transform.

    I really dig this mold, even the less loved Grapple version as well, but it’s on the small side for what the alt mode is making the size comp a little off.

    Still, yeah, figs we’re bigger back then but also proportions were off a lot as well. Tons of skinny limbs back in the day.

    Knowing jackshit about Inferno aside from him being somewhat of a reckless nut, he's red and he's a fire truck and that's probably what's pushing me into buying him.

    Literally the only reason I bought him is because I've always wanted a fire truck transformer. I'm sated

    True but the other guys are Primes, so they actually kinda matter. Lol

    I really don't wanna shit on Inferno but he's just not significant enough, unfortunately. Still though, his alt mode is great and his gung-ho style is cool.

    Anyone mind posting a pic of Inferno with a Fossilizer attached (preferably Wingfinger)?
    "Official configurations", but also, if you have any creative configurations you made up yourself that you like, you could post that too.

    I can't find any pics at all of Inferno with a Fossilizer...for that matter it's hard on the internet to find most G1 figures with Fossilizers on them, except for in the official photos of the Fossilizers themselves. What's up with that...? Or am I missing something? I figured there'd be all kinds of pics out there but seems like people aren't using modulators as modulators all that much. Or at least aren't posting pictures of it. Anyways, probably a discussion topic for a different thread.

    After clicking around some I actually found there is a modulator/fossilizer thread, but it's got tons and tons of pages and most of them are people combining a bunch of fossilizers together to create...well...ugly stuff lol. I could go through each page to see if anyone posted Inferno but...I'm not commited.
