Transformers Ironhide Dark of the Moon MechTech Voyager
Ironhide (Rhino in Canada, Falco in Italy, Vasököl (Ironfist) in Hungary) is one of the fictional robot character from the Transformers series. He is one of the commanders, as well as the right hand of the Autobots Optimus Prime in the Transformers series 1980 and 2007 action movie Transformers.
Robot battle action just got fiercer than ever! This detailed IRONHIDE figure is as powerful as they come and features intricate details to make the action extra exciting. Begin the battle in robot mode with his MECHTECH Weapons System booster and then convert him to GMC Topkick vehicle mode and his booster to a spinning particle cannon. His enemies have no idea whats about to hit them!Figure comes with a booster.
Transformers Ironhide Customer review
Ironhide returns with more of a sleek look and some sweet new weaponery.I have every movie Ironhide figure they have done and can 100% say this is in the top two of all the versions that have been done.The poseability for displaying or acting out battle scenes is the best of any version done.The Mech Tech feature of Ironhide is a booster that converts to a spinning particle cannon which is only found on this version.The abscence of the two cannons on each arm helps to give Ironhide a more sleek look which works for this figure very well.The durability is also the best I've seen compared to any other voyager class version.The transformation is intermediate meaning if you have plenty of experience with transformers there is minor difficulty.If you are a parent buying for a child of 5-6 or younger you might have to help some in the process.Honestly this version is less difficult than other voyager versions before,but it still has some tricky parts that after two or three times of transforming it they should be able to get the hang of it.The process starts off with the side door panels raising up,the wheels rotate out,while the chest flips straight up.Some of the next parts of the process can require you to have some patience.The part of folding the arms under the front part of the truck and when you have to bring the legs up to position under the actual cab of the truck can be the hardest parts,but after some practice all ages should be able to get the hang of it.I can honestly say again this is one of my favorite versions and think it is alot more versatile for all ages .Bottom line Ironhide is a well-made,high quality,10 out of 10 figure thet all transformer fans should enjoy.I highly recommend Ironhide Dark of the Moon to all transformer fans and collectors alike.Transformers Rule!!!1

First let me say I am generally not a fan of the new Mech Tech line. I think in many cases that the new crazy big weapons don't really fit the characters and that money that was put into the transforming weapons would have been better spent on the figures. That said, this version of Ironhide is pretty good. Here are my pros and cons:
Pros:
* Detailed robot mode - looks great with just enough paint apps in my opinion
* Pose-able - again, a robot mode that can be posed for any action scene with little risk of falling over.
* Weapon - like I said, I think the mech tech stuff is gratuitous in most cases, just not here. Ironhide calls for a big honkin' weapon and his canon works perfectly in robot mode. Truck/alt mode...well not so much. Note: The instructions don't mention it but you can lock the gun in extended mode if you twist a knob on the back of it, located at the center of the 3-prong push-button.
* Nice transformation - not too easy, not too difficult
* Little amounts of kibble - body panels fold up nicely.
Cons:
* A touch on the skinny side - Ironhide should probably have thicker legs to match up better with his movie proportions
* Paint apps - mine were kind of sloppily done. In fact I'm missing the red on a tail light.
* Mech Tech body mounts - there are circular weapon mount holes all over the body in truck mode - without these truck mode would have been near perfect IMHO.
* Truck bed isn't smooth - a quibble really.
* No light piping in eyes - this was a big disappointment for me. When I rediscovered transformers a few years back I thought this was one of the coolest features. Sad to see it go.
* Oddly exposed ankle joint - weirdly exposed white plastic joint on the ankle.
* Rear window in not clear plastic.
Most of my cons are quibbles really and this is a great figure that in my opinion could have been perfect. He's just as good as the previously released deluxe sized Ironhide, better in some areas worse in others. The only reason I upgraded to the voyager class figure was the deluxe figure was so out of proportion to the rest of my movie collection. Glad to say this figure fits in perfectly size wise with my RotF Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.
Looking at pictures of a lot of the new Dark of the Moon collection, I can't see recommending them but I can easily recommend this Ironhide. Enjoy Transformers fans.
Note to parents: This toy is easier to transform than the notorious Revenge of the Fallen version of Bumblebee but still barely age appropriate for a 5 year old in my humble opinion. Durability seems good but caution should still be taken until a child gets the hang of transforming it. As always save the instructions.
