Transformer of the Day for August 1, 2009

IRONHIDE

-Faction: Autobot
-Era: Generation One (1984-1992)
-Function: Security
-Motto:
“High Tech Circuitry is No Replacement for Guts
-Notable Toy: Botcon Exclusive (Hasbro, 2005)

Notes: Before Kup, Ironhide was the gruff old warrior on the Autobot team. Like Ratchet, his original toy was a holdover from the Diaclone days and looked nothing like his animated appearance. And yet the neo-classics version manages to lose the nostalgia feel provided by the original toy’s disappearing battle platform. Really, it’s the 2005 Botcon retool that gets the character right - a robot that looks like the cartoon, a trailer that reminds us of the toy, and a van that matches our memories.

Some things are best left unanimated.

  3. My wife and i were quite more than happy Peter managed to finish off his research using the ideas he got in your web pages. It’s not at all simplistic just to find yourself giving out points which often other folks might have been selling. And now we take into account we’ve got the blog owner to be grateful to for that. The most important illustrations you have made, the straightforward website navigation, the friendships you will give support to create - it’s all exceptional, and it’s really letting our son and us know that the topic is thrilling, which is incredibly mandatory. Many thanks for the whole lot!
