Transformers AM20 Ironhide

Its still a weird one that this guy got released in green as Sgt Kup here in the UK and US but Takara have sorted it with this rather fetching red repaint. Reaction to Kup was mixed with some people flat out not liking him , I was one of the people quite taken with him though so this review will have a positive spin apart from one thing, that darn bonnet that hangs off his back in robot mode like a shelf, why ? I no understand zis ? anyway easily remedied by clipping it off and snapping it back into place in reverse just like in the picture.

The robot mode does have its issues such as shoulder pads which can slightly get in the way of shoulder movement and no waist swivel, this aside he is quite articulated and is capable of a lot of poses which is what you want from an action figure. His Micron is quite nifty is slightly simple in cannon mode, he reminds me of a builder with his little hard hat style head and claws. Mounting the Micron to Ironides arm suffers the same problems as Kups blaster in that its a slightly loose fit, hand held however is not a problem. His colours are nice and really pop when combined with the stickers, my only gripe is the blue could have stood out a bit more on the chest like in the official promo images.

Overall its a nice figure, not the best but far away from being the worst.

Ironhide scores 7/10 ( he straight up loses 1 point for that bonnet )
