Change this AUTOBOT figure from robot mode to Topkick pick-up vehicle mode and back again!
•
Chase down enemies with dual quad-missile cannons that each fire 4 projectiles in robot mode!
•
AUTOBOT weapon specialist and old-fashioned warrior, IRONHIDE is the big stick that backs up the soft steps of OPTIMUS PRIME
•
Paint scarred and chrome chipped by shrapnel from hundred battles, he is the oldest of the AUTOBOTS
•
His right hip is a mass of bypasses and temporary solutions, his power core and timing system are irregular, and his idle is set way too high; but his optics are the sharpest on CYBERTRON, and his cannon arm is as steady as ever
Product Description Paint scarred and chrome chipped by shrapnel from a hundred battles, he is the oldest of the Autobots. His right hip is a mass of bypases and temporary solutions, his power core and timing system are irregular and his idle is set way too high; but his optics are the sharpest on Cybertron, and his cannon arm is as steady as ever. Optimus prime relies on him for tactical advice and cool head. As long as they keep making missiles compatible with his cannons, he'll keep fighting, until every last Decepticon is a smoldering wreck. Measures 7".
Mine was defective I think...September 15, 2008 I've been tranforming toys since I was a kid and it still took me, my boyfriend and the internet to figure out one of the steps. I couldn't get the blasted thing to spin around (step 5-8). It finally did, after we kinda forced him. Secondly the plug thing that pops into a socket (his hips into his torso) doesn't fit into the socket so he's not completed! So ingoring that problem to later we found that his chest (the GMC logo parts) don't stay down like in the picuters so instead of having a level chest, he has more of a "V" chest. That's pretty annoying. He looks like he'll fall apart at any second. I'm so sad! I've wanted him for so long and after finding him in a local store, he doesn't even work perfectly. I'm going to pack him back up and exchange him for another. Hopefully it was just mine that was defective and not every single Ironhide out there. Oh, also his back (the truck's roof) pops off really really easy. But it'll pop back on. Size wise he looks great compared to the other "normal" toys such as Bee, Jazz and Arcee. He's bulky-er than the voyager Prime so they look a little weird next to each other, but it's not big deal. I've got the voyager Prime, Ironhide, Megatron and soon Ratchet and I don't have any problems with any of them EXCEPT for this Ironhide. Does anyone else have those problems too?
Awesome ToyMay 10, 2008 Ironhide is fun to transform. I think he's not quite as complicated to transform in comparison to others. I would say that it works well for 9 year olds and up. It might have too many nuances to maneuver for a younger child. The automorph feature is sturdy. It looks very stunning in robot mode. And it's sturdy in truck mode. You can't do without the weapons specialist of the autobots!
my favorite of them allFebruary 22, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love this transformer. The amazing detail on it is killer. A little challenging to transform at the beginning, but it got easier after a few times. My 5 year old can almost transform it, just needs to get over the fear of breaking it. It's not breakable or of week material, if anything it will pop off..but you can put back together easily. But I do agree, should not be intended for small children. I think my son enjoys it b/c I play w/him sometimes.
out-freakin-standingJanuary 23, 2008 Transformers: Movie Voyager Ironhide First, this is my favorite transformer. I had to get that out. Now for the full review. The look is really awesome and very detailed in vehicle and robot mode. The directions for transforming into robot mode are horrible. It doesn't even show you what do do with the back. Otherwise it is pretty easy to figure out. The auto-morph in the feet and lower legs is a nice touch. Durability though, the windshield/ roof (all one piece) keeps popping off. It's easy to put back on, but it is really frustrating. As with the other movie transformers of this type, do not buy it for your young child. It is too complicated for younger children. Otherwise an overall good product.
Fun but challengingJanuary 14, 2008 My boyfriend Rhalfeal is a huge transformers fan. I mean an absolute geek. I purchased this toy as a Christmas present because he had mentioned how much he would LOVE to have it, because it had a resemblance to his truck. Upon opening the toy he immediately ripped it out of the box and began to play with it. yes it is a fun toy, and yes Ironhide is the most handsome of the transformers, BUT he is VERY difficult to transform for the first time. It took my bf about an hour and a half in order to transform it. All the while while I was sitting in awe watching him. I recommend this transformers to any transformer geek and or collector. He looks good on his desk with his large collection.

Video Review of City Commander Upgrade Resident Transformer reviewer Peaugh has posted a nice, detailed review of the recently released City Commander upgrade set created for the Classics Universe Ultra Magnus figure.
The video goes in the great step by step detail on how to convert and attach the new addition along with nice video angles showing off the impressive attachments.
The images show both robot and vehicle mode (Earth Helicopter). The image of the robot mode shows that Megatron has decent articulation, but unlike the Leader Class version, his cannon cannot be attached to his forearm.

Seibertron.com Reviews Soon To Be Released Glu Mobile 'Tranformers: G1 Awakening' Game Thanks to staff member Stormrider, I was given the chance to make contact with a member of Glu mobile;#x2019;s PR staff, and was able to play a demo of the soon to be released ;#x2018;Transformers: G1 Awakening;#x2019; game for cellular phones. Glu Mobile was very kind and even sent me a compatible phone loaded with the game to play, as they do not currently have a version available for the iPhone.
I was able to spend about a week with the game, wasting many precious hours, staying up until the wee early hours of the morning as I played the addicting game, and tried to experience as much of it as I could before I had to send the demo back....
First off we have Stealth, err, Goldbug... I mean ELITE GUARD BUMBLEBEE by Tamo536. Straight up repaint of the Original Animated Bumblebee, but according to the reviewer the 'stingers' are now able to better fit into the arms...
And also a huge picture montage courtesy of the Japanese Transformers Image Board showing Sentinel in package, with other Elite Guard members, and with the Headmaster unit firmly placed on his shoulders.
Everybody should want to get Sentinel as soon as they can...
"Move bots or you'll have to do more transform ups!!!"
