X-Transbots have shared some images of the prototype to their unofficial Masterpiece-style Inferno, Dante. Dante is one of three unofficial Infernos making their way to the market in the coming months, alongside the Ocular Max and Maketoys versions. These images show Dante in an early prototype / mold test stage. Check out the images and see what you think.

Hauler sold out at taobao, lucky me this one just came out so I picked him up

They chose an incredible shade of green. Of the options for this mold I originally wanted to get Hauler, but I might go for this instead now.

I wonder how the real color looks like

I wish Duke Fire was next but I like the colours of SG Inferno so it ain't so bad. The box art btw.

I can at least recall Wreck-Gar and Blaster from KFC, DX9 has their Rodimus, and Takara has both Optimus 2.0 and Ultra Magnus(though the later isn't marketed as SG). You also have the Optimus by both Transform Element and Magic Square in those colors.
Edit: I just recalled that XTB released Hoist in his SG colors as well. It helps how many characters SG colors are just their Diaclone colors, which usually get made.

I already have the Takara Inferno and Grapple (No interest in Artfire) but I've heard great things about this mold and the SG repaint is the one I've been waiting for. But I'm curious, are there any other MP repaints that could be considered Shattered glass? Maybe the Blue XTB Trailbreaker? The only one I have is MS 1.0 repaint, and I want to display him with others

I've no interest in SG….but this mold is one of X-Trans most excellent triumphs.

Did you ever get anything on this? I have the same issue.

Just checking, there are no labels (water slides or whatever) made by any random companies for this mold? I know Toyhax doesn't make any as they unfortunately haven't done much with XTB stuff in years.
I'm picking up Roadhauler, and seeing how the ladder/crane hangs off the back and the head options, I kinda wanted the Grapple and Inferno as toy versions of each, but they look as plain as the official versions I'm using as toon Grapple/Inferno.

they weren't that bad as the one shown in that thread, but still not good. i've sent an after sales request. fingers crossed!
ShmoopsMcGoo
only one I've seen reports of the issue on so far. I'm sure a person can source replacement from XTB direct or via Show.z, etc, but I don't recall anyone commenting on how replacement parts are holding up
Tirador thread. How does your chipping compare to some of those posted pics?

Is it just artfire? Also do we have any help from xtb for say showz on this issue?
ShmoopsMcGoo
seen from at least a couple board members here that artfire has issues w/ the entire front of cab paint chipping/peeling off. think it was likely bad paint application &/or paint over translucent plastic or something. Possibly a combination.

Has anyone noticed any paint chipping? I just walked by my artfire, and noticed there are paint chips on both doors! What the heck? Can anything be done about this?
