Infernocus

Infernocus is a Decepticon-allied Infernocon combiner from The Last Knight portion of the movie continuity family.

When Rob Liefeld's Captain America is also an evil tree trunk.

When confronted by a threat to Quintessa too powerful for the demonic Infernocons to handle individually, they combine to take the form of the perfervid Infernocus.

Sometimes, he is composed of five distinct Infernocons: Skulk, Rupture, Thrash, Gorge, and Glug; otherwise, he is composed of six identical Infernocons.

Fiction

The Last Knight film

Hey Georgia O'Keeffe, your robot got loose.

Infernocus was Quintessa's enforcer, menacing Optimus Prime into submission when he was in a forced audience with the sorceress. He later witnessed the activation of the staff when Cybertron had reached Earth and fell under Megatron's command to fight the incoming Autobots. During the battle he separated into his smaller Infernocon components to provide more firepower. The Autobot Hound soon arrived to give the Humans better cover fire and Megatron ordered the Infercocons to recombine into their larger form again. Hound worried that he didn't have enough ammo to fight the giant. He came under fire from the airborne Autobots—Bumblebee, Hot Rod, and Crosshairs—but recovered and shot their fighters down. Optimus Prime then arrived on Dragonstorm to engage him in combat, but not before the large three-headed dragon bot knocked them to the ground. The combiner was no match for the Prime and took damage to his head and chest. He separated into his components and they tried to gang up on their enemy, but they were all swiftly decapitated in one mighty swing of Optimus's sword. The Last Knight

The Last Knight Infernocus is a combiner composed of one new mold (Skulk) and four redecos of Prime Abominus's components: Blight, Rippersnapper, Twinstrike, and Windrazor. The box set also includes a small translucent Quintessa figure.

The components can transform from beasts into robots or combine with each other to form Infernocus, with the central component's swords forming a larger sword. (On the other hand, Infernocus can combine with the other Prime Legion Class Predacons or the component robots from the Go! Goradora set to form some kind of a mumble jumble whatchamajigger combiner if you have no idea what you're doing.) Infernocus also features Cyberglyphics on his Combiner chest, which confusingly translates his name. Due to Skulk's larger body size, Infernocus' combined mode was closely scaled with some Voyager Class figures like Premier Edition Optimus Prime.

He was revealed as a part of a sponsored Entertainment Weekly article on June 1, ahead of the Transformers team's Google Hangout later that day. Infernocus was released as a Toys"R"Us exclusive as part of their Mission to Cybertron subline, and as such comes with a Mission Card that can be deciphered with the decoder provided by the Transformers website.
