- Available only with his larger partner Ironhide in Japan, Iro comes as an unassembled, unpainted "kit". He transforms from a humanoid robot into one of his partner's signature cannons. He is covered in 5mm posts and holes as part of the Arms Micron gimmick, allowing him to combine with other Microns to form bigger and more ridiculous "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons".

- A clear red version of Iro was part of a five-piece gift set of Autobot-allied Arms Microns, which also included O.P., B.2, R.A. and Ooje. All five can combine to form the Advanced Star Saber.
- Early solicitation photos showed this version of Iro showed him as opaque burgundy.
Notes
- Iro is another name with an odder-and-wackier-than-usual origin. In Japanese, "Ironhide" is spelled アイアンハイド (Aianhaido), like how the English would pronounce it. The "-ro" bit seems to be purely based on the English spelling of iron itself and not the sound, which isn't how Japanese transliteration usually works....
