Title:
Ironhide
Description:
Ironhide (Deluxe, 2010)
Japanese ID number: AA-03
Accessories: Automated Rocket Turret
Known designers: Alex Kubalsky (TakaraTomy)
A new-sculpt Deluxe-sized figure of Ironhide, with a surprisingly complex transformation and an almost ridiculously movie-accurate (and surprisingly stable) robot mode. His smokestacks are of the long variety.
The toy comes with a transforming weapon accessory, his missile turret from the Revenge of the Fallen video game. Sadly, this goes at the expense of a movie-accurate cannon for the left arm. The turret can stay attached to his arm when transforming back to his vehicle mode, thanks to a hard to notice joint on the other arm’s cannon flipping open to allow more room, ensuring no chance of losing this accessory. In an undocumented feature, the turret can also attach to the back of Ironhide’s vehicle mode by slotting two of its legs into two small holes on the truck bed, the third leg can them be positioned forward and slot into a groove on the back of the cab. This can be quite difficult, however, if (in another undocumented feature) you do not fully extend the turret’s legs which are attached to a hinge which allows all 3 legs to fold down further than just pulling each one out individually; this allows for a greater range of movement and allows the turret to be aimed upwards. His hands can hold 5mm weapons, which means he can use Recon Ironhide’s or MechTech weapons.
The TakaraTomy Autobot Alliance release of this figure features a significant coloring change: Where Hasbro’s release cast much of Ironhide’s legs, feet, hands, shoulders and some joints in light blue, TakaraTomy’s uses dark grey plastic.
