January 18th - Ironhide

Ironhide

Transformers Universe Classics

Ironhide is Optimus Prime's best friend and bodyguard of sorts. At least he was until Transformers the animated movie killed poor Ironhide and the rest of the original guys off to make way for a new toy line. Pretty lame way to go: to make way for new stock?! That's 80's toy marketing for you.
This toy is pretty nice in its robot form, giving a nice update to the old bot, but keeping true to his classic motif. His vehicle form however, is kind of a mess. Looks like Ironhide missed a curb and went rolling thru the trees. And I say trees because his license plate is from Oregon. Oregon?!
