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".

Customer Reviews

Nice looking toy - probably not for kids...
After being a fan of Transformers when I was younger, I had to go out and get at least one of the new toys for the movie. (Although I'm 28 years old). Let me just say that first of all I am very impressed. Although transforming this thing from truck to robot and back almost took the better part of an hour for the first time, the look and feel of the finished transformed product is amazing. Although some of the other Transformers seem a little top heavy in robot mode, Ironhide has large feet making him pretty easy to stand up. He also looks awesome in robot mode, with a ton of detail... and the black color makes it very attractive, especially to the older crowd. While in truck mode (and it seems very difficult to get these things back into vehicle mode) the toy actually seems very "playable" with all of the many moving parts snapping back into place nicely to form a solid truck. It it actually looks like a normal toy truck... the engineering that went into this is genius. However, like I said, I don't think this thing was made for kids. With so many little moving parts, twisting and turning and snapping and folding and clicking, something is bound to break if this guy is overhandled. And I also remember the days that you could pick up a Transformer and figure out how to transform it on your own... GOOD LUCK. Even with the instructions right in my face it took a good deal of time to get him from truck to robot and back. After carefully reviewing all of the toys in the store, what they looked like in both forms, I would say Ironhide would have to be my favorite, and I am not dissapointed in the least. He looks awesome.

Best of the movie line
This one is my favorite of the movie line of Transformers! He is the most impressive looking in robot mode and fairly solid and sturdy in truck mode. He is not, however, for young kids, whatever the box says, and I don't believe that he would stand up well to play. He is great, however, on my desk at work.

Ironhide from a 35 year-old dork
I was huge fan of the original as a child, and now as an adult, I couldn't resist getting a few of the new movie transformers. I have both Ironhide and Starscream in the voyager mode and Optimus and Megatron in the leader class. I must say the directions are not a tremendous help, but after a few times transforming Ironhide, he becomes much easier. As a toy for a 5-12 year old, I would say no. Childern would be too rough I believe on these transformers as a opposed to the orginals. But as collectiables, they are awesome. Be patient and you will enjoy these new transformers.
