I agree on the recolour comments. Not worth the money if you've already got the origonals. But this looks to have had some retooling. I think it should be accepted as a new character (hopefully Grapple). They did the same with G1 Inferno and Grapple (and a lot of the others) so why not as long as its not the same (identical) figure/character.
Colour scheme is a bit hit and miss though.

I don't understand why the name Hasbro chooses to slap on the box determines whether or not certain people buy the figure. If this turns out to be a new version of Inferno, but you like the figure, you could always give it a different name and treat it as a separate character. Who cares what name is on the packaging? Call it whatever you want.

Aside from the fact that this is a repaint (and from what i understand all repaints are EVIL) i actually like this new guy. I'm betting that they will introduce him in the show as an upgrade to Inferno.
"just wait, one day Soundwave and Shockwave will finally admit that they are Megatrons bitches. same for Cyclonus & Scourge with Galvatron"

I like the toys to be and actual character and not some repaint just for the sake of repainting. Like treadbolt, that I thought was stupid. I like the idead of inferno being repainted because he has a good possibility of being a new character. Now in terms of the toy its self, I am still going to get it.

Its a remold in that it has new parts, a repaint is new colours and I always thought Inferno was the new incarnation of Sokescreen and Hoist, the face fits.
I reckon they should supersize Scorponok (To Optimus and US Megatron proportions), remold his head and give him a energon staff call him Dark Zarak. Andgive Megatron G1 movie Galvatron colours make his tank a G1 Galvatron cannon mode but its unlikely to happen. However I did once mention Inferno being remolded as grapple like the G1 figure... spooky.

Not all repaints are evil. There are some out there that are just fine (I prefer Universe Skywarp to every other version of that mold I've had). However, once you're on your tenth BW Dinobot repaint, you start to wonder if maybe there's not just a hint of overkill.

They may have added a few eps down the line. This was the count from when it was first planned. They prolly only had 29 that were written or something. This is good news.
