The Cape Crawler

The Cape Flyer passes MP 37 on the Cape Main Line at Cherry St. in Middleboro. Leading the train is the MBTA 1129, a GP40MC that was recently repainted into the T's old maroon and silver paint scheme. The fresh rebuilt locomotive experienced a mechanical failure in Middleboro and was running 33 minutes late at the time of the photo.

MC 2009 at MP 37

Mass Coastal 2009 leads a southbound freight at Cherry St. in Middleboro, MA at MP 37. The train is hauling 4 empty hoppers from Middleboro to the Otis AFB for loading of C&D debris. This spot was opened up with some brush cutting last year and this was my first time getting a shot here with the sun out since then, albeit with the loco facing the wrong way.

An oldie, but goodie. I love me some Japanese G1 characters. I love Targetmasters/Headmasters I also loved me some MP-33, Inferno, the first MP I got that showed me toon accuracy and function weren't mutually exclusive. So naturally when I learned there was an MP Artfire, it instantly went on the list... but pricing kept it away from me for the longest time.

Then, as I was disappointed in the weekends Collectors Con, I decided to pursue a local seller who had one in used condition, but much better than MSRP.

The Fuso T951 alt mode is again, right out my childhood as I did actually have an Inferno as a kid. There is some lost functionality - fists are no longer spring mounted and perhaps the bigger loss is that the ladder no longer swivels. Perhaps due to the lack of cartoon version, the MP straight up went with chrome accents, with no option for swapping out the front of the truck.

There's fewer accessories for Artfire, as compared to Inferno, but you DO get an extra chrome nozzle and Nightstick, his Targetmaster partner. I did a bit of reading, and the reason why you might be confused is the use of Nightstick as a name. Apparently, it's a very popular one.

Nightstick can convert from relatively articulated robot into handgun mode, and something I've only seen on this toy, hand cannon mode.

Transformation into robot mode is not a multi hour affair, and while Artfire/Inferno does have shoulder limitations, some waist limitations, and lack of ab crunch, it's such a crisp, clean robot mode you really don't care. Proportions are very much in line with the animation model (for Inferno, that is). The alternate face plate lets you do some interesting things... or at least that's what I call it.

Did I mention he has a waist?!
