In the end each of these 3 offer something special, I found inferno more prominent as a character and his buddy feature with redalert sold me on him (redalert is one of my fav's btw), grapple has a more varied deco and his retooling really makes him stand out, that said his joints while functional aren't quite on inferno's level.
Artfire (apart from mine's defects) is the most overpriced (less accessories, more deco) but his deco just pops out and fills in the toy deco aesthetic one may crave, fun fact while 90% of his build is inferno his shoulders are from grapple, dunno what else is.
I feel like getting target master hotrod but with such a mediocre redeco I'm tempted just to find a (cheap) lone mp hasbro hotrod offshoot all on his own
