Transformers Animated Ironhide (Hasbro Ver)

Since Hasbro Malaysia decided to stop bringing in new wave for Animated Toyline, it's kind of hard to get the new wave from outside Malaysia. Starting with Arcee and then Rodimus Minor. Getting Arcee that time is seriously too difficult because of the price hiked so damn fast especially seller in US plus the shipping cost is pain in the a$$.

I bought Ironhide from a seller in US which cost me around RM100 with shipping together with 4 more deluxe and a t-shirt. That way, i can save lot more with combined shipping because 3 of the deluxe class came with lot more cheaper price than Animated Ironhide.

Too bad the box arrived crushed with Ironhide & Rodimus Minor boxes got dented real hard especially Ironhide, nearly tore the box apart. Felt so bad about it but cant blame the seller though because the way the box got crushed, i know who's fault it is. Whether United States Postal Service or POS Malaysia.

Forget about that, let gets to the review of Transformers Animated Ironhide Hasbro version. As far as i know, Ironhide is the repaint version of Ratchet Cybertron mode with different head mould. Same old box of Transformers Animated for the deluxe class.


Notice the dented box at the lower part of the box? Crushed quite hard.

More repaints of the same mould of Bumblebee, Swindle and Blurr.

To my suprise, when i opened the manual, it showed Ratchet image with Ironhide name on it. What a big error done by Hasbro this time. Come on guys, focus please!

Overall, Animated Ironhide is a excellent mould especially on the shoulders part. You can twist and turn to slot in and out when transforming him into bot mode or car mode. The feet parts also nice. You can hide the whole feet so easily. And of course, animated toylines always came with smaller lower parts of the body especially the legs. They got bigger upper body but smaller parts for legs. Ironhide looks bulky to me when you view it from the side but still a good mould for a deluxe class. I guess he deserve 8 out of 10 because of the color, articulation and transformation.

Quite easy to transform him, just need patience and a cup of coffee.
