Legacy Tarantulas: close to being on the best of year list Legacy Inferno: “YOU’RE NO MATCH FOR ME, BURN TRAITOR BURN!”

Fun fact: the original Beast Wars Inferno was a shelf warmer. I attribute this to it being a Mega class (the biggest size at the time) when Optimus and Megatron were right there. If a kid's going to save up for a Mega class, they're going to go for one of the leaders. So the fact you never found an Inferno again might be a sign you've always been cursed.

I was not expecting so much inferno. Now Megs had to live with two of them yelling "My queen!".

I gotta say it is really fun and interesting hearing about your childhood stories. I think we've all had moments like that where we're kicking ourselves in the foot over decisions that really quickly turned out to be bad ones.

Inferno and Rampage are my favorites. It's so good to see this guy get a win. Every time he's on screen, I'm amused.

Home Alone? Don't you mean Honey I Shrunk the Kids? Anyway, I havent managed to get a hold of Legacy Inferno just yet, but I do still have my childhood BW Inferno, but that poor thing is barely holding together. I have to keep the robot head on with sticky tac because the ball joint port for it broke. Still was a fave and I'm looking forward to the new version

You never prepared me for how large he is and his ant mode is ginormous.

This guy would mention the colony or the royalty in any sentence seamlessly

FOR THE ROYALTY

Seeing the original Inferno here was a pleasant surprise. I haven’t had a chance to go toy hunting in months due to work but I’m itching to get my hands on a Legacy Inferno. That screaming mouth is just… So perfect.

One of your very best reviews ever. A comparative approach is inherently richer and more informative. Well done and thanks again.

I love that weird arm transformation. It's memorable, it's unusual, everything clicks in satisfyingly (also I love when the bot hands are used to secure something in alt-mode), and it gives the ant mode a *depth* that bug modes often struggle with.

Excellent channel! I really appreciate the critical view of the figures. As someone who likes to collect only figures that are worth the money, this is great info for me 👍👍 keep it up!

Gotta say, this is one of the best transformers imo, best mainline voyager for sure. This figure feels like such a product of love. Thanks for the review perspectiveend

The Legacy one such a great figure for the Royalty! 🔥🐜 And i prefer legacy's one beast mode because cool and cute

Legacy Inferno's been an absolute joy to handle. I think of all the Beast formers that have gotten updates, he's probably in the top 3 along with Tarantulas and T Rex Megatron. As for Dragon Megatron, I hear he's *incredibly* well done - the only downer is that his face is incredibly inaccurate (Though DNA Design is releasing an upgrade kit to fix his face).

Speaking of childhood QC issues (this is going to be a yarn, so buckle up): I distinctly remembered having a Transformers figure of a character called Wildburst. It had similar coloring to Animated Prowl. I remember it having like clear wings and stuff, but I remember it transforming into a cyber-organic bike. I broke the clear plastic wings some time ago and I was weeping because that wing forms the sides of the bike and I never transformed it ever again. About 13 years ago, the damn toy went missing. I was grieving. But then, I didcovered an Auldey toyline called Screechers Wild and the whole gimmick was that it's a transformer but it's based on animals like dragons and horses and what not and it flips! The toyline was almost identical to my beloved missing toy but I don't remember it transforming like that, it's very clearly a robot and the toyline seems to enter production around 2012 and I was a bit confused so I told my mom about the discovery, and my mom said, What on earth are you blabbering on about? It turns out that I amalgamated the memory of my toy with a knock-off Lego "sculpture" that I made with a knock-off Transformers bike toy that my mom purchased me (it's one of those knock-offs that you purchase for 7 dollars). That toy was fabrication of my imagining a cool toy because I was saddled with some pretty shit toys. Further clarification: I discovered the "Lego" toy with the clear plastic wings about 5 years ago when I was moving out to go on an internship. I thought the toys went missing but it turns out that I had simply forgotten that I had left them in my school bag filled with memories and goodies and rotten Twiggies (it's a rip off of Twinkies, and yes, I do live in Malaysia because Twiggies is a famous bread brand here). What I would usually do is that I would peg the clear plastic wings into the side of the bike and because it wasn't meant to take on that much punishment, it broke, shattered. Why did I stop playing with it? Again, my dumb kid brain was convince that I had broken it so, to save myself the heartache, I simply stopped transforming it. When I was "reunited" with it, gold plastic syndrome finally catches up to it and I cremated it, lol.

-Cool, you got the original Beast Wars Inferno toy. Now onto the Legacy Predacon Inferno. It's fire. Love his coloration, molded and sculpted design. Looking so much like the BW show. Like how he has an opening jaw. The thruster to be his blaster weapon, is fine with me. Sure, having his single barrel flamethrower blaster from the show would be cool. But I honestly just like the four-barreled thruster blaster more as the weapon. It means he has four times the flame power to show his enemies that he doesn't rock and roll, he burns. While the ant abdomen propeller panels can just fly without it. And the fire ant mode is cool. Looking forward to Hasbro repainting him as Antagony.

what a treat and a great video to wake up to, you made my day I'm glad you liked it Thank you so much

I am so impressed with the posing on the Legacy Inferno. It really does feel like an MP figure. Some 3rd parties have been upscaling these CHUG figures to MP size as stand in for MP figures. This Inferno could be a good substitute.

Epic review PerspectiveEnd!!! Inferno has been one of my favorite figures of the Legacy line, and you showing how much it rivals the original BW figure in terms of show accuracy, articulation, and overall quality, makes me proud to say: "For the royalty! INFERNO TERRORIZE!" lol :D Sorry to hear you had a nightmare of an experience with BW Inferno in the past. Keep on being amazing.

I like to imagine Cybershark and Inferno share A linked spark like Topspin and Twintwist in IDW. I mean, they both have red eyes, sharp teeth, and their beast heads fold into the torso (with the ability to fire missiles). Also, Antie isn't from Home Alone, he's from Honey, I shrunk the kids.

The Dragon Megatron qc (on my copy) was great! For a moment, I thought I actually had perfect qc. Until I was doing the transformation and I realized the shoulder joint was put on backwards : ) Fortunately, it was just screwed in, so it was easy to fix.

9:21 ah yes, Antie, my favorite Home Alone character … wait

I knew what you meant with the anty joke, but I think this is one of those times when I feel messing up the joke is more hilarious than getting it done right.

Having to put a light behind a figure for the light piping isn’t so bad for me, as I really like the glowing eyes+rimlighting combo

This was so AWESOME!!! I love this figure! By the The movie you are referring to is not Home Alone, It was "Honey I shrunk down the Kids". Funny You remembered that movie... That gave me so much nostalgia. 👍👍👍

Woo-hoo! It's What's the Best Beast Wars Inferno! Since this is all of them Hasbro has ever made if you don't count transmetal Scavenger. The transmetal that was supposed to be Inferno but wasn't I guess...🤷

You never found another BW Inferno? That’s strange. I heard it was a notorious shelf-warmer.

I can't wait for the megatron review, hopefully you can find it!

9:20 Anty was from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, not Home Alone. There was an arthropod in Home Alone, but it was a spider, not an ant.

The coolest part about Legacy Inferno is that his mouth moves XD

Finally got ahold of one. The final wave seems to have completely missed my area. Didn't realize it at the time, but he wound up shipping from the UK (normally $13+ for shipping, but some promo made if $0, so I didn't pay attention to why it would've been so expensive & counted the $7 markup as shipping - same as Gamer Optimus's shipping ended up being; also, I found Tarn & Lio Convoy for a few bucks under MSRP, so the mark up evens out, anyway). Ordered him (on Amazon), partly because HasbroPulse had him listed as discontinued & not being reissued (that notice seems to have disappeared; I noticed Legacy BW Megatron is getting a package refresh, when I was checking something about WfC Optimus). A lot bigger, than I was expecting. Gave him Siege Ultra Magnus's spare guns (the pre-tools for Cybertron Optimus), since he only comes with his flight booster. He can't laugh maniacally, as he flies, raining down fire, without guns. That ball for the neck joint almost seamlessly blends into his mouth. Only complaints are where are his flamethrowers, the leg kibble could've been handled better, & too bad that flight booster can't stay in the abdomen. Other than that, & his bug mode being too adorable, he might be flawless.

I'm glad I found this guy early and it was really good QC, otherwise after seeing the previous wave 3 blunders I'd have been terrified

Just recently found Inferno at Target a couple of weekends ago, and I immediately snagged that sucker. I now only have Waspinator left to complete the Seaon 1 cast of Beast Wars (Maximals and Predacons). So, now that I have collected the characters going forward, I have to backtrack a bit. But, it'll also be worth it, because I've been collecting the Beast Wars characters since WFC Kingdom.

The perfect figure for THE ROYALTY! He will look great next to his queen and the rest of the colony!

Just got both Kingdom and Legacy Inferno at a collectible show today and I just love how there's a voyager Pred now amongst the sea of deluxe preds. The bug legs get in the way but not much of a knock against him. Kingdom is aight too, good companion piece to my siege Red Alert and easily the best of the Grapple/Hauler/Inferno mold.

Definitely looking forward to getting the Legacy Inferno figure to stand next to my Legacy Transmetal 2 Megatron.

Inferno and bomb burst are the only two wave figures I’ve got, qc is good on both thankfully Fun fact: the original bw inferno was a 1997 figure, airazor was as well. This means that in the second year of the toyline, there were only two characters who were in the show(5 if you count tripredacus but they were in one episode, didn’t look like that, and weren’t beastformers) It’s weird you couldn’t get another inferno back then. His transmetal version was renamed to scavenger because hasbro shipped out an entire assortment of infernos and stores weren’t willing to get another inferno mold since he was still shelfwarming in 98. They sent out an entire assortment of scavengers like they did with inferno and he ended up shelfwarming harder because he’s the only transmetal not named after a show character

Inferno was also one of the few I never had, and this fills a huge hole in my heart.

I still have that OG Inferno and I LOVE it! I'm still trying to get the Legacy one, but man, do I love that terrifying bug!

I was so close to getting this and tarantulas for Christmas but turns out my little town is either filled with bw fans or riddled with scalpers because the two lines of them were gone within a day and a half, also good video and great for the royalty joke poor megatron

If they can do swappble faces and heads they could have had him have lightpiping and have the option for chrome dyes

Remember? First Waspinator, then buzzsaw, and now inferno? Light piping man.

Oh hell, we are talking about the original too. Ok, I mostly agree with all you said. But let's go. Original: A childhood favorite of mine. But lord help you if you lose his missiles that make up his rear bug legs. And standing him in bug mode takes up a LOT of space and doesn't hold due to loose joints. Legacy: I've only grown to love this figure more since I got it. With two minor nitpicks. His robot hands are WAY to small. Inferno had hands almost as big as his head. I swear if a 3rd party makes new hands for him, I'm on board. And the robot mode has eight visible alt legs. Fake ant, 0/10. Tarantula clearly succeeded in making another arachnid.

Inferno is such a joy of a figure. Absolutely amazing and made my top 10 (Hasbro/Takara) best of the year list. Mine's but flaps are a tad loose, but LORD i adore him. All of Legacy's Beast Wars figures REALLY knocked it out of the park. (Transmetal II Megatron made my top 10 (Hasbro/Takara) best of the year list even though i got him on the last day of 2022)

I’m so hyped for mine to come in. FOR THE ROYALTY!

Supposedly the original inferno was a shelf warmer so finding only on defective version is one of the unlckyiest thing that can happen.

I think all the beast wars characters in legacy are the best of legacy, taranulas amazing deluxe, inferno amazing voyager and megatron amazing leader, waiting the review for megatron too!

“Fool pain is my friend allow me to introduce you to it”

The only legacy wave 3 figures I have are this and TM2 megatron. Both of which have either no qc problems or negligible ones. Both are fantastic figures.

You definitely need to keep looking for a TM2 Megatron, it's probably my top figure of 2022.

You know for your light piping problem, I looked at My legacy inferno, and all my fingers that use like pipeing, it turns out my piping absorbs sunlight more, then electrical light, it's weird but whenever I'm in my kitchen I turn the light. I was barely light up but when I turn them to the window a few meters away, the eyes POP! I think if you take all the figures that use light pipeing in your collection and turn them to a window, you'll see their eyes pop and it looks amazing.

You know it's good when PE says something is good when he says it's a micro masterpiece.

I finally found this man, I am so glad i did and didnt have to beg my dad to buy it. he said he bought it because he hadent bought me one in a while, which i mean... isnt wrong, last transformer i got was legacy armada megs for the hollidays

I know this ain’t relevant atm but apparently ROTB Wheeljack’s head might be different in the final movie; given that we know Arcee’s toy was based mainly on 2D art and earlier 3D asset files, which have likely been altered in the final film

i remeber in the show that inferno would say "you will burn in the flames of inferno!" but i cant find a clip of him saying it

Hes on my buy on sight list along with needlenose. Nothing can stop me when I see either of those.

I actually have this figure, got it when I saw it at target because I am just starting a beast wars collection. His transformation is a little finicky and I need to use some force to get his arms in his chest, but I am not worried about him breaking. Also I keep his ant abdomen down instead of flowering out because it makes him look like he has a trench coat which I think looks cool.

Damn, I’m so tempted to grab this but when it comes to anything outside of legends scale I have to passionately want/need it. I like beast wars but don’t have the room for it. Though one thing I am super hyped for is that ironfactory has announced optimus primal and Cheetor for the samurai line!

You probably accidentally said that he doesn't have any specialty joints, because he has butterfly, double knees, his feet are insane, he could have very easily not have a separate wrist... He's kicking a lot of Mps asses! Plus you can untab the ant head and get an ab crunch.

Wait wait wait, I was messing with inferno this morning and decided to watch this video today. 1) Pick up Leo Prime, the legacy figure is very similar to inferno in the way the kibble gets in the way, but can be forgiven. 2) And most importantly, anti is from Honey I Shrunk the Kids m. You quoted the wrong movie man. Sorry to be the UMMMMM ACTUALLY D-bag much love!

When I was younger I couldn’t pronounce my Rs so when they introduced inferno I called him infearno which I still call him to this day. I just think that name suits home more, and it differentiates him from G1 inferno. Just felt like sharing.

Hey perspective, do you have the MMC Navigant already? And do you plan on making a review on it? I don't usually ask for reviews but I'm just curious

Megatron is actually in stock on BBTS, so if you're still having a hard time finding him, I'd look there (unless you've found him since this video was recorded). I'm really hoping that you don't get a dud copy, because from my experience, his QC is the best of the wave.

I got this guy on the day before my birthday (Last year, very late november.) I've been waiting for this video to come out since then and I'm very much glad to know you love this thing. He's probably one of the most poseable figures I have. I also got the Legacy version of Soundwave for Christmas. He's pretty fun, I don't hate the alt mode. Do you ever plan on doing a full review of the Seige mold? Since the Legacy figure is just that but without the battle damage resulting in a cleaner look (Which, to be honest, I actually kind of prefer.)

*this figure to the rest of the wave* "HAHAHAHAHA FOOLS QC IS MY FRIEND! ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE YOU TO IT!"

Cool figure. I must say: "BURN TRAITOR BURN!!"

Do you like lugnut he’s pretty close to inferno in personality, just less pyromania, but equally if not more loyal, and just as fanatical. Not to mention memeroable lines

Legacy Inferno is great. The only changes I'd make are add green, chrome eyes, no faux-forming, and the series' beast mode. Also, never expected the original toy to be reviewed. Due to it's colours and not having it in hand, I think the original beast wars figure tastes like strawberries.

Soooo… who won Starscream? Also great vid as always, keep up the good work!

I’d like to give a shout out to the beast wars fan who’s putting all the QC to those figures

Missed out on the Legacy Inferno so I had to rewatch this before preordering Antagony

Seems like an 'answered prayer' on many levels! 'Royal' video, bro! PS. Amazing how this was a case mate for Armada Starscream! (Worlds apart as far as quality is concerned.)

Nothing to do with the video. But I really want a G1 MP Prime. So I have narrowed it down to two options the Magic Square Light of Freedom and MS Light of Peace. I’m stuck and don’t know which want to pick so I asking you Perspective on which one I should buy since you own both.

Just got the Takara 2-pack for Airazor (for my wife, Airazor was almost LITERALLY her only toy in her horrible childhood). And somehow I had confused the hate for KD Scorponok as being for this guy, so I was BLINDSIDED by his quality. For me, this is everything a Voyager should be.

Bad QC! Their invading the colony!

Didn't expect you to reference warhammer 40k.

What alt mode would he have on cybertron, save with blackarnia, and quickstrike

I saw this once in a Target and then never again. I'll have to swallow my pride and order it online. I like seeing the product to make sure it's good, but I cannot take this l. I have to say, Inferno is the perfect form of a static character. He has no depth, one personality trait, and barely changes in the end. But his psychotic nature is so perfect and so amusing that he ended up my second favorite character. I would pay an arm and a leg for a Doom clone with him as the playable character.

My Megatron's right arm came is assembled so I had to disassemble it and fix it so it can transform

I really enjoy the legacy figure, he perfectly captures the manic energy of the character in the show. On a kinda random note, I still think there should be a target exclusive two pack with both the new generations figures of g1 and BW Inferno. Obviously I don’t think this should be the only way they should be available, but I think the concept is too perfect to not do.

9:21 You mean Antie from honey I shrunk the kids? Home alone only had a tarantula bug wise, lol

Legacy Inferno is the definition of royalty. Question who is more loyal Inferno, Waspinator, Soundwave, or Shockwave

I thought this was wave 2 cuz it got leaked so early i thought it was official like that. Man people should just control themselves to not ruin surprises

As the royalty commanded.

starscream: do i count??? perspective: yes but actually no so..... starscream: ow why am i still alive but you hate me perspective: i don't hate you i just think you have a lot of potential wasted starscream: ok so i'm just gonna wait for my upgrade in 10 yrs

Even in death, I serve the queen

I don’t know home alone and how honey I shrunk the kids were the same film

Have you had any interest in any of the earthspark toys? Deluxe megatron is not that good but I like his transformation and alt mode. Bumblebee is awesome (aside from no waist swivel) bot mode is probably one of my new favorite bumblebee designs, transformermation seems like it’d be simplistic but the way the arms and legs work is really cool and the alt mode is probably my new favorite bumblebee alt mode. Still looking for Twitch as she’s one of my new favorite transformers characters, she’s just so cute!

i always had a what if idea on what if bw inferno had no queen aka no one to follow logically he would commit suicide but it could be interestig to see what inferno would do even if suicide would probably be a lot more logical

Hopefully the package refresh for TM2 megatron has the proper orientation for the wingtips. Every figure has them misassembled

thanks to inferno i now say is "my loyalty is my own royalty" idk why i say it but i still do after i help someone

Rather surprising you couldn't find another BW Inferno back then as according to the TFWiki he was a shelfwarmer. Was able to get Legacy Inferno just in time before the Xmas rush, so now I have all the Season 1 BW cast. My only QC with him is the small abdomen propeller panel was loose, but managed to peg in okay in Beast and Robot mode, was just inbetween the transformation that got me worried at first.

I guess what made me stop picking up baddies is the fact they are baddies. I have never really been a fan of the villains. If you look at my room, most of my collection is good guys with a few bad guys thrown in. But I really only care about the heroes. I did misspeak a little. I have a few designed Decepticons, but again, if you watched Transformers Cybertron from beginning to end you'll see why. Starscream is the exception to the rule because of a Giant Starscream (the same size as Primus) that I use as a Megazord.

What do you think chased inferno to belive megatron was his queen, I mean I get he thinks he’s an ant, but why did he assume megatron specifically was his queen, waspinator is likely the biologically and visual closested to him, imagine if waspinator had his own lackey

Getting evolution Hotshot tomorrow, thank you again amazon!

But og inferno's beast mode has hands sticking out of his knees!

I got the figure earlier today. It's pretty good and it definitely is a good mainline inferno toy The only problem i have with it is that he doesn't have the gun he had in the show. Like seriously who's idea was it to not give him his gun and just give him his butt cannon I mean he does look good with his butt cannon in hand but honestly I'm thinking of giving him a upgrade kit that actually gives him his actual gun

Inferno is fantastic. I found one a week ago. My only issue with it is that his ant head doesn’t tab together properly in ant mode. It’s fine in robot mode so that’s all I care about
