AUTOBOT SEARCH & RESCUE
INFERNO
(1985: Generation 1)


from the collection of Shawn Keaton

from the collection of Shawn Keaton

Inferno came with:
1 black gun
2 black fists, left and right
3 chrome missiles
2 white hose/"wings"



Inferno's accessories are identical to the ones that come with Grapple, with the exception of the hose/"wings." They were both originally part of the Japanese Diakron/Diaclone series.

Inferno was also released in Generation 2. He was almost exactly the same. You can tell the difference by opening the cab. If there is a 1990s style Autobot symbol, then it is G2. In the G1 version, there is no symbol.

In Europe in 1990 and 1991, the Transformers Classics line was launched. These were the first re-issues, consisting of Autobot Cars, Throttlebots, Scramble City combiners, four Triple-Changers, the Dinobots (Swoop was never released in Europe), and Optimus Prime. The toys themselves were identical except that there were no rub signs, and the indents were filled in on the combiners, Triple-Changers, and Throttlebots. The classics molds were again modified for G2, (and RID, and Armada, and Universe for Bruticus). The Throttlebots' rub signs were replaced with regular sigils like Bumblebee and Cliffjumper had in 1984. The Throttlebots were rereleased in 1991.
