Title:
Ironhide Recon
Description:
Recon Ironhide (Voyager Class, 2009)
TakaraTomy ID number: RA-26
Accessories: Assault rifle, mini-gun, knife A, knife B, bullbar/crossbow, cannon, spring-loaded cannon/crossbow, projectile
Recon Ironhide is an extensive retool, replacing his doors with military Humvee-style armored door panels, adding a roof/truck-bed-mounted lighting rig/weapons rack and replacing his Road Armor fender with a massive bullbar that can be removed and combined with his spring-loaded cannon to form a crossbow weapon. Ironhide’s traditional arm-mounted weapons have been replaced with the aforementioned spring-loaded cannon, a smaller static version of his right-arm mounted cannon, an assault rifle, a mini-gun, and two combat knives, one being short and serrated, the other being long and straight-edged.
In one of the first intentional uses of the C joint system (if not the first), either knife can be attached to the front of the rifle to act as a bayonet, and the rifles and knives can be attached to his various bars and rails. The rifle and mini-gun can be pegged to the sides of his arm-mounted cannons, and they can also peg into the main barrel of his static arm cannon.
Additionally, this retool of Ironhide includes a new head-sculpt featuring his battle mask.
In response to the breakage issues concerning the windshield peg, all of Ironhide’s (newly-tooled) windows are now cast in softer and more flexible opaque plastic, compared to the more rigid translucent plastic seen on previous versions of this toy.
