- Inferno is an Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Will probably start fires just to put them out.
Inferno is one gung-ho robot, ready and willing to roll out into the thick of any action at the drop of a hat. If the mission is search and rescue he's one of the best bots to have around, but he's even happier when called on to fight himself. Nothing gets Inferno's circuits going like a one on one with a few Decepticon trouble makers. Durring his down time he can generally be found hanging out with Red Alert and trying his best to keep Red out of trouble.

Generation 1
Then he'll start the fire again.
- Inferno (Autobot, 1985)
- Japanese ID number: C-10
- Inferno transforms into a japanese firetruck. Each of his forearms contains a spring-loaded missile launcher, so he can fire his own fists or silver missiles. He is usually depicted in media has having a missile in place of his hand on his right arm. He is also armed with a small black rifle.
- This mold was redecoed and partially retooled to make the Targetmaster Artfire, and Grapple.
- Inferno with Hydro-Pack (Action Master, 1990)
Generation 2
- Inferno (Autobot Heroic, 1993)
- For Generation 2, Inferno's original toy was re-used with virtually no deco changes, adding only the "Autobot" tampograph. His forearms were retooled to remove the spring-loaded launcher mechanism (the chromed missiles from the original releases were also dropped), but he came with a large red water-shooting cannon that clipped to his ladder.
Trivia
Inferno moonlights for easy cash.
- Inferno's original toy, slightly modified, was knocked off and used as the titular giant robot in the Korean animated film Phoenix King (피닉스킹). Phoenix King was dubbed (horribly) and released in America by Digiview Entertainment as Defenders of Space, generally selling for the bargain price of $1.00. Scenes of "Inferno" from this movie were also incorporated into another bargain film distributed by Digiview Entertainment, Space Thunder Kids.
- In the late 1990s, a knockoff of G2 Inferno with some yellow parts was sold in discount stores on a card reading "Transformers: Generation 3."
