| This article is about the Autobot Lightformer. For the comic issue, see The Iron Fist. |
- Ironfist is an Autobot Lightformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.
For Ironfist, there is no greater work of art than an ingenious piece of weaponry. Others can have their metamorphic rock sculptures of unclothed human males or oil-based images of smiling females, but a tracer cannon that can take out a Decepticon battalion a hic away is all that Ironfist admires. Unsurprisingly, this Autobot gun nut gets into the thick of a battle, no matter what the terrain, so long as the action is fast and furious. However, Ironfist still finds the time to silently regard the weapons of war.
Toys
Generation 1
- Ironfist (Lightformer, 1993)
- Accessories: Gun emplacement
- Ironfist transforms into a AM General M998 Humvee military off-road vehicle. Mounted on his roof is an ENORMOUS repeater cannon turret that can rotate 360° and pivot upwards at its base. This weapon uses a combination of the light-piping and gear-wheel gimmicks so that when you look through the "viewscope" and rapidly push the spring-loaded post at the rear of the turret, the gold cannon will slide back and forth, the grey 'ammo' drum on top will rotate while the view from the scope makes it look like twin beams of laser-fire are striking your selected target. The cannon turret has a fold-down stand to become a gun emplacement for Ironfist to man in robot mode.
Generation 2
- Ironfist (Lightformer, 1994)
- Accessories: Gun emplacement
- This release is identical to his 1993 release, but in Generation 2 packaging, and was on a blister card instead of in a box.
Notes
- Ironfist's gun-gimmick simulates twin beams of laser fire striking his target... but the gun only has one barrel. Hmm.
