Ironhide



Alliance: Autobot
Identification: Autobot Security
Year released: 1984
Accessories: static laser gun, 3 missiles, gun post

Comments: Well.......I don't really know how to start this review. Ironhide is a pretty cool looking van. Unfortunately, he has never been given a proper (and decent) robot form. Like Ratchet, the robot form is clunky and so "un-transformer" like (no neck or anything) that it boggles the imagination. This is one figure I'd keep in vehicle form

Ironhide is a red van with a yellow stripe running along side. He does look like a pretty cool van (and very close to the TV counterpart). To transform him doesn't take much. Pull off the top of the van, flip down the legs, up the torso, and you're all set. Now you're in robot form.........or whatever form you want to call it. He has a missile launcher that goes on the front of the trailer and a gun with gun stand.

He's an okay figure. I just wish Ironhide would have been given a proper toy. He was an awesome part of the television series but fell short as a figure.

 


"High tech circuitry is no replacement for guts."

"Go chew on a microchip", is Ironhide's slogan. Prefers action to words. Oldest, toughest, most battle-tested Autobot. Bodyguard to Optimus Prime. In charge of guarding anything of importance. Gruff but kind. Trithyllium - steel skin makes him nearly invulnerable to attack. Shoots variety of liquids from supercooled nitrogen to superheated lead. Has sonar, radar, radiowave detector. Slowest and most fragile of the group.
