Mark Maher is at it again, this time with a look at Legacy Inferno! Spoiler alert: this toy came out great.
Save the queen! The royalty commands it!!! Legacy Voyager class Inferno is ready to jet boost into your collection!
.
This fireant predacon is going to further complete your collection of Kingdoms (Beast Wars)Megatron’s army. I had the great pleasure of working with Takara Tomy’s amazingly talented Tomo san on this item. He really did an awesome job with this guy and I couldn’t be happier for the finished product.
.
Firstly, here is the concept art I did to kickoff this maniac, I did this off memory and I soon realized it was time to dip back into some episodes for further detailed reference.
.
I also had the opportunity to get a zbrush sculpt from our great designer Doug Schultheis. Doug’s one of those secret Hasbro renaissance dudes who is responsible for so many successful products, it was great to have him sculpt this up for reference in tackling the Kingdom aesthetic for the fireant alt mode. Which was obviously very challenging to get all that bot in a slim fireant body, but I do believe Tomo san’s transformation will excite and satisfy your hungry hands.
.
We ended up being able to merge his rocket booster into his energon infused flame thrower weapon, while keeping some serious blast effect compatibility for some ultimate play action. As I mentioned in the livestream his back shell does propel spin around to give him the ultimate accuracy to his animation apperance.
.
The articulation in the jaw just gives you such an incredible range of pose outs and play function, you will also notice his eyes and his mouth has the light pipe feature to really give this guy his red tinted evil energon glow. Once you start yelling quotes from the show as you articulate his jaw, you will really have a hard time putting this figure down.
.
Also to note the package illustration for this heart throb will surely be saved as it came out so sweet!
.
Hope yall can dig it! The Legacy continues…😎
