![]() ![]() Blackarachinia and Fractyl realized the energon armor was flawed and could destroy the planet if it came in contact with large amounts of energon. Although seemingly successful, the armor was stolen by the Maximal thief Packrat. In the Convention Comics plot, Inferno and Blackarachnia watched as the Predacon scientist Fractyl attempted to invent Energon Armor capable of protecting them from energon build up. Inferno was one of the stars of the 1997 BotCon Convention Comics, a story set near the end of season one of the Beast Wars television series. Later, he was sent after Tarantulas and Blackarachnia when they tried to escape in a modified stasis pod, incinerating Tarantulas. Inferno was considered loyal enough to be sent on a solo mission to retrieve the alien second Golden Disk artifact from a mountain cave. He also obtained revenge on Tigatron, killing his white tiger companion Snowstalker during a mission. Inferno quickly made an impact on the Predacons, frequently leading the other flyers (Waspinator and Terrorsaur) on missions, although his desire for destruction often meant he disregarded any semblance of a plan. This favored treatment would lead to a rivalry with Megatron's current second-in-command Scorponok, as the brutish Predacon considered the fanatically loyal Inferno as a threat to his position. His arsonistic tendencies and impenetrable personal loyalty to Megatron (whom he often referred to as his "Queen", or "the Royalty", much to Megatron's chagrin) forgive his quirks. Repaired after this, Inferno joined the Predacon ranks, reprogrammed to believing Megatron to be his "queen", the base to be his "colony" and the other Predacons as fellow "drones". An enraged Inferno was seconds away from killing him when he was blown apart by Optimus Primal. He believed he was an actual fire ant, protecting his "colony" (the stasis pod), which was soon destroyed by Tigatron. A glitch in this process (and possibly Tarantulas' faulty programming) resulted in Inferno's beast instincts heavily influencing his robot mode. However, the scanner in Inferno's pod had already scanned a fire ant before Tarantulas arrived. Inferno was originally a Maximal protoform who was converted into a Predacon by Tarantulas, who had originally intended to recruit a third arachnid loyal only to him, as well as gain the stasis pod for himself to escape the planet. In the Japanese Headmasters series, Inferno appears in the first and third episodes, under the command of Ultra Magnus on Earth. ![]() An early script of the movie appeared on eBay revealing that Inferno was part of the Autobot team under Ultra Magnus in Autobot City. After the movie, he never made any more appearances. Inferno also appears in the end credits of The Transformers: The Movie despite not actually appearing in it, leading to speculation that Inferno's scenes were cut or that he was intended to feature. Like his fellow Autobot Ironhide, Inferno speaks with a thick southern US accent. Walker Edmiston is the voice actor for Inferno. Inferno was also one of four Autobots not to get his circuits scrambled by Kremzeek. Inferno is part of a team of three led by Ironhide to track down Optimus Prime on Cybertron in "The Search for Alpha Trion", and meets his old flame Firestar. In the episode "Prime Target", Inferno was captured by big game hunter Lord Cholmondeley, along with many other Autobots in an attempt to lure Optimus Prime into a trap. He was featured prominently in the episode "Auto-Beserk", also alongside Red Alert. Inferno first appeared in the episode "Dinobot Island, Part 2", alongside his friend, the fellow Autobot Red Alert, with no explanation or origin. In battle his choice of weapon is an extinguisher rifle. Inferno enjoys receiving attention when saving lives and extinguishing fires, however is easily distracted, getting involved in combat preferring the heat of battle to the heat of a burning building. Inferno is a fearless Autobot who has a firetruck as his vehicle form. Despite having different alternate modes, the character name has been most associated with the form of a fire engine. Inferno is the name of several fictional characters from the various Transformers series in the Transformers franchise. ![]()
