I couldn't walk past this figure today purely because he's Ironhide and he's RED.




He's fun to play with and easy to transform. Seems to be as robust as all the other Combiner War figures and transformation is identical to Offroad.



He comes with an axe - I would have preferred he have a gun myself but *shrugs*. The "hand" canon is silver which is a nice change from the coloured plastic of previous combiners.



I like him but as far as Combiner Wars goes he is just more of the same in a different colour. I'll be curious to see what Takara does differently with him.


The comic that comes with him is pretty good although (and forgive me as I don't read the mainline comics) it feels very Battlestar Galactica with the 13 lost colonies. I do like the dynamic of Optimus and Windblade together.
