Ironhide (Movie)/toys
From MediaWiki
Ironhide has enough toys to afford several new cannons.
Toys
Transformers (2007)
Legends Class toys
- Ironhide Vs. Desert Blackout (Legends "Allspark Battles" two-pack, 2008)
- An all-new Ironhide tooling that packs considerable accuracy into his small, simple design. Unlike the Voyager class toy, Legends Ironhide stores his cannons in the truck's bed. He comes with a desert scheme redeco of Legends class Blackout.
- Amusingly, this version of Ironhide is one of only two American toy releases that has full-length exhaust stacks. Also, there are many complaints about the fists sticking out of the back of the truck and the weird truck proportions.
Voyager Class toys
- Ironhide (Voyager Class, 2007)
- Japanese ID Number: MA-09
- Accessories: Left & right cannons, 4 missiles
- Ironhide transforms into a modified black 2006 GMC Topkick 4500 four-wheel drive pickup truck. Although Hasbro's official stock photos and early packaged samples featured two real-life accurate full length exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin, they have been slightly shortened for safety and durability reasons for the actual release of the toy. Otherwise, however, the vehicle mode is very accurate to the real prop truck... well, aside from the fact that Ironhide's massive missile launchers are quite visible underneath the vehicle. Despite rumors to the contrary, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the toy features the same shortened smokestacks as the Hasbro version.
- Ironhide features an Automorph gimmick in his legs during transformation: As the user swings down his feet, all of the panels that make up his legs automatically shift and fold into place. This gimmick does not affect Ironhide's articulation. Confusingly, the instructions omit the exact positioning of the roof panels and rear window on his back, though they can fold into a compact design for maximum articulation.
- In robot mode,his arm-mounted cannons are inactive while mounted on both arms. However, detaching the left arm cannon and combining it with the right arm creates a huge functional missile launcher that is almost as big as Ironhide himself. The missile-launching mechanism itself isn't the typical spring-loaded button design, instead relying on a pressure-launch system to fire the missiles from the four barrels.
- The peg that holds his windshield is prone to cracking, which makes it become loose, and might even result in breakage.
- Offroad Ironhide (Voyager Class, 2008)
- Accessories: Left & right cannons, 4 missiles
- Released as part of the "Allspark Power" refresh of the Movie toyline, Offroad Ironhide is a fairly extensive redeco of Voyager class Ironhide in colors reminiscent of the Generation 2 Go-Bot Motormouth. As he's now made of several colors of plastic, he's no longer the most monochromatic toy in the 2007 Movie line.
- Ironhide ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2008)
- Accessories: Left & right cannons, 4 missiles
- Premium Ironhide is a redeco of the previous released Voyager class Ironhide, painted in a gloss black finish, silver trim on his smokestacks, Road Armor winch and side turn signal detailing, but with them are several inaccurate deco additions including silver detailing to the rims, frosted windows, silver paint on the roof ridges and a large Autobot sigil tampographed onto the hood.
- In robot mode Ironhide is considerably more accurate with gold and gunmetal detailing colors which were missing from the first Voyager release. His large cannons are now molded in mostly black plastic, then painted metallic teal with gold detailing.
Fast Action Battlers
- Cannon Blast Ironhide (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
- Accessories: 1 missile
- Part of the Fast Action Battlers line, "Cannon Blast" Ironhide is a simpler version of the larger toy, geared more towards the younger set who might find the big toy too complicated to transform. He still transforms into the customized GMC Topkick. He features a spring-loaded missile launcher in his left cannon. But, thanks to the simpler transformation, the hood and wheels trap his arms below the wheel. He can't punch or aim his cannon at all, and the elbows have no articulation but swiveling that knocks the arm off his body.
- Pulse Cannon Ironhide (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
- Accessories: 1 missiles
- A redeco of the Fast Action Battler Ironhide, this version sports a silver and blue color scheme that is both a reversal of the "Offroad" Ironhide Voyager figure... and seemingly an homage to the Generation 2 Go-Bots version of his Generation 1 counterpart, a redeco of Motormouth (see above). Funky!
Cyber Slammers
- Ironhide (Cyber Slammer, 2008)
- Cyber Slammers Ironhide is an amazingly cute GMC Topkick that transforms into an amazingly cute trigger happy weapons specialist. 'Slam' his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Ironhide manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode. Interestingly enough, this is the only pre-Revenge of the Fallen merchandise to feature Ironhide's scarred right eye.
Titanium Series
- Ironhide (3-inch Robot Masters, 2007)
- Accessories: Movie Autobot sigil display stand
- Titanium Series Ironhide is a small, 3-inch-tall die-cast metal mini-statue of Ironhide's robot mode. He has swivel points at the shoulders and head, and comes with a clear plastic movie-style Autobot sigil stand.
Revenge of the Fallen
Legends Class toys
- Enforcer Ironhide (Legends, 2009)
- Enforcer Ironhide is a redeco of 2008's Legends class Ironhide in a more Generation 1-looking red colour scheme. As with all wave three Legends figures, the photo on the back of the figure's packaging shows a mistransformed robot mode, where his chest is not aligned properly.
- Straightaway Shootout (Legends multi-pack, 2009)
- A redeco of 2008 Legends Ironhide featuring his regular colors, but using different color layouts and paint applications. He was only available in the Target-exclusive "Straightaway Shootout" 5-pack together with Mudflap, Swerve, Runamuck and Sparkcrusher.
- In Canada, the set was released as a Zellers exclusive.
Voyager Class toys
- Ironhide (Voyager, 2009)
- Japanese ID number: RA-02
- Accessories: Missile launcher cannon, energy cannon, projectile
- Revenge of the Fallen Voyager class Ironhide is a retool of the toy from the 2007 Transformers movie line. The original arm cannons have been replaced by new, more accurate (and less gimmicky) cannons that can be connected together and mounted on top of Ironhide's truck bed cover. The truck bed cover and arm mountings for this Ironhide's cannons are unchanged from the 2007 movie line voyagers. So any voyager Ironhide can carry and use both the original and new weapons. The large cannon features screwdriving firing action in which the barrel section twists forward before firing the missile. The small cannon can retract its barrel and has a 5mm hole on its underside that allows it to plug into the peg on the large cannon like a scope if so desired. Since the weapons can connect to each other, the figure (and all other uses of this mold) can hold these and the combined 2007 cannons at once. All four cannons can fit on his truck mode as well, the old ones underneath and the new ones on top. Ironhide's head has been replaced with a more accurate, asymmetrical head. Ironhide also features a new grey colour scheme with some red pin stripes and a NEST logo on each of his doors.
- According to the box pictures and instructions, the small cannon is misassembled. The gray sliding shaft is actually reversed from the direction it is supposed to be facing. This doesn't affect anything, but can be easily fixed by loosening the screws on the black outer section, sliding out the shaft, then turning it around and putting it back in.
- A packaging variant determines whether the missile is loaded or unloaded in the box.
- Recon Ironhide (Voyager, 2009)
- Japanese ID number: RA-26
- Accessories: Assault rifle, minigun, knife, bullbar/crossbow, projectile
- Recon Ironhide is an extensive retool, replacing his doors with military Humvee-style armoured door panels, adding a roof/truck bed-mounted lighting rig/weapons rack and replacing his Road Armor fender with a massive bullbar that can be removed and converted into a spring-loaded crossbow weapon. Ironhide's traditional arm-mounted weapons have been replaced with the aforementioned crossbow, a smaller version of his arm mounted cannon, an assault rifle, a minigun, and two combat knives. In one of the first intentional uses of the C joint system (if not the first), either knife can be attached to the front of the rifle as a bayonet, and the rifle and mini gun can be clipped to the sides of his arm mounted weapons (the guns and knives can also be attached to the front of his arm cannon). The two rifles and knives can also be attached to his backpack rails in robot mode. Think he's armed enough yet? Additionally, this retool of Ironhide includes a new headsculpt featuring his battle mask.
- In an unfortunate change, all of Ironhide's (newly-tooled) windows are now cast in opaque plastic, compared to the translucent plastic seen on previous versions of this toy.
Fast Action Battlers
- Cannon Force Ironhide (Fast Action Battler, 2009)
- Accessories: 1 missile
- Cannon Force Ironhide is a redeco of 2007's Cannon Blast Ironhide figure. His colourscheme matches the mostly-red deco seen on the Legends class Enforcer Ironhide toy.

Transformers (2010)
Legends Class toys

- A redeco of 2008 Legends Ironhide featuring metallic sand deco. He was only available in the market six-exclusive "Desert Decimation" 4-pack together with Ratchet, Decepticon Brawl, and Bonecrusher.
Deluxe Class toys
- Ironhide (Deluxe, 2010)
- Japanese ID number: AA-03
- Accessories: Weapon pod
- A new-sculpt Deluxe-sized figure of Ironhide, with an almost ridiculously movie-accurate (and surprisingly stable) robot mode. His smokestacks are of the long variety, and his head is the second (after Voyager Recon Ironhide) to be sculpted in "battle mask" mode. The toy comes with a transforming weapon accessory, his missile turret from the Revenge of the Fallen video game. Sadly, this goes at the expense of a movie-accurate cannon for the left arm. The turret can stay attached to his arm when transforming back to his vehicle mode, thanks to a hard to notice joint on the other arm's cannon flipping open to allow more room, ensuring no chance of losing this accessory. In an undocumented feature, the turret can also attach to the back of Ironhide's vehicle mode by slotting two of its legs into two small holes on the truck bed, the third leg can them be positioned forward and slot into a groove on the back of the cab. This can be quite difficult however if (in another undocumented feature) you do not fully extend the turret's legs which are attached to a black piece which allows all 3 legs to fold down further than just pulling each one out individually; this allows for a greater range of movement and allows the turret to be aimed upwards.
- The TakaraTomy Autobot Alliance release of this figure features a significant colouring change: Where Hasbro's release cast much of Ironhide's legs, feet, hands, shoulders and some joints in a bright gunmetal colour, TakaraTomy's uses dark grey plastic.
Voyager Class toys
- The Fury Of Bonecrusher (multi-pack, 2010)
- Accessories: Assault rifle, minigun, knife, bullbar/crossbow, projectile
- This Walmart-exclusive two-pack contains a redeco of Revenge of the Fallen Recon Ironhide in blue with sand details painted on his vehicle mode.

- As reported at Edmunds, Monroe Truck Equipment, in association with Hasbro, released a GMC TopKick 4500 Ironhide special edition featuring most of the modifications made to the Ironhide vehicle props used in the movie, with the only difference being that the truck will retain its stock orange running lights (the movie used blue) and the large stock sideview mirrors.
- Sadly, installing a grumpy trigger-happy alien robot and deadly high-tech weaponry into the works is not part of the included modifications. Production on the GMC Topkick truck ceased when General Motors exited the medium-duty truck market in 2009.
