Rebranded with the name of the Construction Station’s operator, Earthrise Ironworks is a ”Modulator”, transforming via part-forming into either a construction base with crane or a communications tower, both based on the original Micromaster station. They also transform into a new elevated ramp, though this and the communications tower are omitted in the instructions.
They can be found in Ironwork’s stock images and in Greasepit’s instructions. Additionally, an official gun emplacement mode can be found in the Botropolis set’s instructions (below). Several of their pieces have A.I.R. Lock System connection points, which allow them to link up with other toys in the line to form larger fortifications. The instructions also include a bridge made from their legs, waist, and backplate.
On some copies, the port on Ironworks’s left wrist is blocked by a small amount of excess paint. Simply shaving it down somewhat with a small knife or another sharp tool will make it usable once more. In addition, while their stock renders shows a grey mouthplate, the final product has it painted the same red as their visor. Ironworks is not made of any actual yellow plastic, instead using sloppily-applied yellow paint resulting in a very ”dirty” looking yellow. This may be intentional given the nature of their alt-mode, although the paint pattern is inconsistent across all figures.
Their parts can also be used to augment other figures as armor and add-on weapons, similar to the Weaponizers of the prior Siege toyline.
Like all Earthrise toys, the inside of the back of Ironworks’s package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Ironworks’ piece of the map contains the labeled location of the planet ”VELOCITRON”
This mold was redecoed to make Generations Selects Greasepit and heavily retooled into Kingdom Slammer.
