This figure is from 2007. He is an Autobot. He appeared in the first movie "Tansformers" which was made in 2007. He also appeared in some movie comics. He came to earth in the movie along with Optimus Prime, Jazz and Ratchet. He fought Brawl and got blasted by Starscream.
MOTTO; "I'm a soldier. I'm made for war. Your kind simply... are not."
FUNCTION; Weapon Specialist
BIO; "Ironhide is the big stick that backs up the soft steps of Optimus Prime. Paint scarred and chrome chipped by shrapnel from a hundred battles. he is the oldest of the Autobots. His right hip is a mass of bypasses and temporary solutions. His power core and timing system are irregular and his idle set far too high but his optics are the sharpest on Cybertron and his cannon arm is as steady as ever. Optimus Prime relies on him for tactical advice and a cool head. As long as they keep making missiles compatible with his cannons. He'll keep fighting until every last Decepticon is a smouldering wreck."
Robot mode
With combined cannon
Truck mode side
Truck mode front
His truck is very nice. Hardly any kibble but you have to ignore the giant cannons which hang off the underside of the truck.
His transformation back to truck mode can be a little tricky but you need to fiddle around with it for a while.
In robot mode he has two cannons which can combine into one giant cannon which he only did in the comics.
The giant combined cannon shots four missiles . You can only shot these when it is combined.
He has nice detailing in robot mode. He does have light piping but on my it does not really work. This does make his eyes look a little dead.
It is a shame that the abdomen piece does not plug into the panel on the chest. The panels from the front of the truck just flap around loosely.
I don't think this is a very bad attempt at Iron hide but the revenge of the fallen Ironhide was just a grey repaint of this one which is inaccurate to the movie. They didn't try again to make a Voyager Ironhide until Dark of the Moon.
This is a decent figure but he does have some problems especially the looseness of his chest panels.
I think out of the Voyager Ironhide this one is worth getting.
He was also repainted in 2008 as part of the All Spark Power Line as Off Road Ironhide.
