I’m glad I don’t ever have to see him in person! First of all, I HATE ants because they are always getting in my house! Whenever I see a bunch of them, I have to squish them! Also when I was 7 I had a really bad nightmare about ant people (think, giant bright red ants the size of taller than average humans, that walk on t2 of their six legs, with huge yellow eyes with pupils that are just dots, that when they walk, you hear BOOM BOOM and the ground shakes, and when they snap their fingers, all of the people around are suddenly down on the ground as if they’re worshipping something, and they’re like that for a few seconds before they get up, and when they do they have been turned into any people and the people who didn’t change, they carry them off, holding them by their hands dangling off the ground with your arms and legs in a certain position like an X)! It was so horrible I woke up shivering and had to wake up my dad! I know it doesn’t sound that scary now, but back then, and when I was having the dream, OH BOY was it terrifying! I’m not afraid of ants though, but seeing a giant red ant like Inferno up close would be VERY unsettling! 😖 I had LOTS of nightmares when I was 7 for some reason! I still remember some quite well! I’ve even given the worst ones names! For some reason, idk why. Two of them I woke up shivering! The first one was The Attack of the Ant People and the second was Purple Glowing Vampires! Don’t ask about the vampires that dream was very weird. Well, actually, they all were! One involved some creep flushing a bunch of kids down a toilet! I have no idea where that came from!

I know some people will disagree, but I think Predacon Inferno is much more iconic than G1 Inferno.

I'm no fan of Inferno, and I don't even hold BW as my favourite cartoon (I didn't even grew with it, that would be Armada), but BW Inferno is in my eyes the true holder of the Inferno name.

I really like inferno from energon. His tragic forced decpticon reprograming was an intresting character arc. It also hit me hard as i watched it last year where someone not being able to control themselves was tragically relatable.

[@TheVacuuminator]

Was so happy to see this episode in my sub box, energon inferno was the first toy I ever actively looked for beyond just saying I wanted to get a transformer when we were at the store as a kid because I really liked him in what little of the show I'd seen, it's also one of only 3 toys that survived my childhood and is still a part of my adult collection. That version and any other one that turns into a firetruck hold a very special place in my heart.

[@peterdanior4538]

I always saw BW Inferno as being the same character as G1 Inferno. Having survived into the future he was a protoform on the Axalon, but the Predacon shell program and the glitch making him think he was an ant caused a severe personality change.

[@teejaykaye4357]

[@GreycatRademenes]

*Fun Random Trivia:* in 1984 there was a korean animated movie called "Defenders of Space" aka "Phoenix King" which used Inferno as the titular robots. Like most Joseph Lai animations it's really cheesy and not-that-good (I'm saying so because it's actually one of the better JL films) and I absolutely love it X3> In my headcanon this was the result of "Hoist goes Hollywoon" where they chose Inferno instead. This is also why Inferno for me has always been the 3rd autobot to come to mind (After Optimus and Bumblebee). Also I did show up in the US comic in the Christmas mini-story where he, Sandstorm and Bradside unintentionally clashed with Getaway and the other Powermasters, though I don't remember if it was after or before alt universe storyline.

[@rokkieteller5421]

Greycat R yes I was wondering if he was going to talk about that

[@ChaseFanNo.9]

[@christianpelle1056]

Oh Chris you forgot to mention the beast wars uprising inferno whose name was called his Italian name Formikon instead of inferno

[@albertschoise8091]

Does Formikon have a special meaning?

[@Lakefront_Khan]

Electronic Corgi .......... I.... Italy why?!

[@Lakefront_Khan]

@@albertschoise8091 I'm just messing with you, I have no idea what it means. 🥳

[@livium9149]

@@albertschoise8091 the name "Formikron" is based on the italian word "formica" which means ant. In Italy Beast Wars was called "Biocombat" and most characters had their names changed to reflect their beast modes, for example Rampage was name Granchior (granchio=Crab) and Airazor was named Lady Falcon (Falco=hawk).

A new toy of the Predacon Inferno in his original fire ant form has just been released in the Legacy toyline, and it looks pretty good.
