Transformers ROTF Recon Ironhide

[transirocar]

hehehe ican-t buy voyagers but there so tempting but i can only afford deluxes cuz i'm only 11 hehehehe

[transirocar]

@transirocar i can buy voyagers but i think i can only buy 5 in a year i only buy leaders at least 1 or 2 figures in a year

[eyongrobotreplica1]

GOT THIS one today!!! i loved it, ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng voyager ironhide, and this is phenomenal. Awesome review, really helped me! i bought this at ebay, loose figure walang box and walang manuals, this really helped me with the transformation.

[fxfranz]

@eyongrobotreplica1

nice !

no prob :-)

[pejalkira]

hey Fxfranz...

which one should i pick between normal RoTF Voyager Ironhide and this guy.?

only can choose one....

i want to hear ur opinion ...

btw, i still dont have any ironhide figure ^_^"

[PlatinumDoubleU]

@pejalkira i know you asked for fxfranz opinion but to tell the truth the only better thing the regular one has is the big movie accurate guns the recon ironhide/jungle attack ironhide has a movie accurate face lots of weapons and it looks better plus it's armored the only bad side to this figure is the big white bumper i'm not really a fan of that and where are you buy if from ebay ?? or a accually store if it's a store tell me i want 1 really bad

[fxfranz]

@pejalkira

i like this one better

[Adoborama]

kabayan tanung ko lang, ano ang mas acurate na scale sa lahat ng ironhide toyline? salamat. nice review by the way :)

[fxfranz]

@Adoborama

mas accurate na scale with what figure?

[Adoborama]

@fxfranz i guess my question is what class version of ironhide that's realistic in terms of height using leader class optimus prime action figure as a basis according to the movie?..

[fxfranz]

@Adoborama

voyager

[mironlang]

ganda

[fxfranz]

@mironlang

yup

[ronedsel]

Thanks for the review just got him yesterday at GH it cost me about 1,400 but it was worth it :)

[fxfranz]

@ronedsel

cool

thanks :-)

[zackzackka]

WHAT THE FUCK KALAKO WALANG PILIPINONG NAG REREVIEW NG TRANSFORMERS ROFT MAY DOTM FIGURES KANABA??

[fxfranz]

@zackzackka

paki ayos muna ang pananalita mo, bago ka magtala ng mga komento dito, kung maari.

[thegr82783]

Just got mine today at GH and have no regrets. Thanks for your reviews fxfranz! Salamat sayo idol!

[fxfranz]

@thegr82783

walang anuman

[sunnybunny6346]

nice i am going to get one as well

[fxfranz]

@sunnybunny6346

cool

[nitrodudezoom]

i found one for £40. is he worth it?

[nitrodudezoom]

@nitrodudezoom judging by your review, ill go with yes. he looks fucking awesome. itll be my first ironhide. i might get ROTF voyager megatron and maybe DOTM deluxe starscream.

[trebelyk]

@fxfranz you've convinced me to buy this Recon Ironhide (my 1st ROTF) and I didn't regret a thing. thanks to your reviews. keep up the good work

[fxfranz]

@trebelyk

no prob man :-) thanks :-)

[trebelyk]

@fxfranz san pla banta un R toys sa v-mall? do they sell 2nd hand TFs?

[fxfranz]

@trebelyk

yup they do.

go the left-hand side ng TK V-Mall. when you pass the corridor, there's another alley that goes diagonally to the left. that's where you need to go to get to R-Toys. if you still can't find it, ask the security guard for directions or the TK employees--they're quite familiar with the hobby shops at V-Mall. dikit-dikit sila sa left corridor alley ng TK

[trebelyk]

@fxfranz okay thanks a lot for the info. will be visiting v-mall this sunday i hope. :)

[fxfranz]

@trebelyk

cool

[starwarsgijoefan]

whats he scale with voyager or deluxe

[fxfranz]

@starwarsgijoefan

it depends on which figure

[jazzicron911]

Just got him today, some structural issues but an aesthetically pleasing figure non the less. 

[fxfranz]

@jazzicron911

cool

[tatt4music]

I just picked this guy up for $12.00 on clearance at TRU.Great review and a very good figure.I did remove the lights from his roof.It looks alot cleaner and helps with the overall appearance in alt mode.I am considering taking off some of the other grey bits from the bed of the truck too.We shall see.

[fxfranz]

@tatt4music

nice!

cool custom on that one, man

[Starwarstreky]

[fxfranz]

@Starwarstreky

[ortizaj23]

@pcjordan23 i wanted to get leader class starscream so badly

[fancyshoes002]

He has more guns than a smaller third-world country, and he may or may not have blown up a planet with said guns.

[fxfranz]

@fancyshoes002

i live in the Philippines. i get most of my stuff on retail like Toys R Us. some i get from Hobby shops

[Multigodfire360]

i heard it unlimited

[Multigodfire360]

i wanted to buy him but i wasn't allowed but my mom is going to buy it for me :)

[fxfranz]

@Multigodfire360

[Multigodfire360]

[ultratron562]

fxfranz there is going to be anoter g2 repaint in the HFTD LINE but IT USES THE RECN IRONHIDE

[fxfranz]

@ultratron562

i think so. done in teal/blue paint apps.

but we'll see...

[Multigodfire360]

@fxfranz what i wanted to ask can you put the guns of the normal ironhide to the recon ironhide if yes that would be awesome

[drag6295]

can u switch rotf with recon ironhide bumper

[fxfranz]

@drag6295

i'm not sure.

[drag6295]

if i didnt mant him to have a cross bow can the bumper be stored on the back like rotf

[fxfranz]

@drag6295

yup

[drag6295]

Can you send me pics of what it looks like

[godfrove]

how much is he in america?i know he's 1,500 or 1,600 pesos in the phils right?

[afterburnersphere]

[fxfranz]

@afterburnersphere

cool

[maytag0519]

yeah!i have one

[fxfranz]

@maytag0519

cool

[ShadowCommanderOne]

I dont mean to sound greedy, but I really want to get the rotf cannons to add on to this guy when he is in vehicle mode.

[fxfranz]

ok.

[nicoarmado]

Recon Ironhide, Brawn, Voyager Optimus Prime, and Longarm, are the most heavily armed Autobots in the Movie... That is why I call them..

"ARTILLERY ATTACK SQUAD"

[fxfranz]

ok, cool

[Kopaka4life]

This is what a weapons specialist should look like! Great review btw.

[fxfranz]

yup

thanks :-)

[Julianpig77]

well u convinced me to buy this figure

normally i hate autobots, but this guy seems to be an exception along with swerve

[fxfranz]

cool, no prob

[jlogano20]

@Julianpig77 why do you hate autobots???

[Julianpig77]

im not much of a "protector of mankind" kinda guy

i like destroying them more

besides, the decepticons usually have the cooler alt modes

[jlogano20]

i have to agree with you on that one the decipticon alts are awsome!!!

[ultratron562]

yes this wave finally hit the shelves in the us but out here bludgen seams rare wonder why and recon ironhide is a decent figure to come by strange probaly becouse he is a repaint

[fxfranz]

ok.

[HannahBanany1]

who should i get Recon Ironhide or Mindwipe

[fxfranz]

is mindwipe already out on retail?

[IXRollOutIX]

I got this guy the other day... HE IS BAD ASS!

[fxfranz]

yup

[rubenBDpedro]

you create allot of cool poses =D

[fxfranz]

thanks :-)

[ohhshaanat123]

yourwelcome

[iamveggie]

jeepers if i only knew recon ironhide was this badass i would have kept him for myself instead of giving him as a gift

[fxfranz]

wow, that's one lucky guy you gave him to

[iamveggie]

@fxfranz my 7yo nephew haha.

i got my own this morning, thanks to your review. im not a big movie version fan but i'm considering getting jetfire optimus (the 2-pack) and that sweet black optimus.

[fxfranz]

cool

whoa, those figures are pretty pricey. way over my budget for TFs

[iamveggie]

@fxfranz are they? i wont be getting any other rotf stuff tho. man it was hell transforming ironhide to robot mode and making him stand!

[fxfranz]

i checked bigbadtoystore and the black Masterpiece OP or Nemesis Prime is priced at $150. the cheapest one you can get at Greenhills is at 4,800; while the Takara ROTF Jetfire-OP is priced online at $165.

[iamveggie]

i meant the black ROTF optimus though, not the masterpiece. but i can hear my wallet saying ouch already. you're right

[fxfranz]

oh you mean the

Japan Exclusive Revenge Of The Fallen DVD (or Blu Ray) with Exclusive Black Optimus Prime

this thing is priced at $250 on bigbadtoystore. man you must have a deep wallet to afford all these toys.

[iamveggie]

yikes. okay. jetfire optimus on clearance it is (:

[ohhshaanat123]

heyon the back of him in robot mode the thing to hold the bumpers u can attach the cannons with thon lil holes

[fxfranz]

yup

[Primemike177]

he is a defo weapon specialist

[fxfranz]

yup

[ultratron562]

the 5 ironhides are

movie 1 ironhide

movie 1 g2 colered ironhide

movie 1 premiun ironhide

rotf ironhide

and lastley rotf recon ironhide

[fxfranz]

is the g2 colored ironhide the Off-Road Ironhide?

[ultratron562]

yeas the g2 ironhide is the off road

[fxfranz]

cool, thanks.

missed out on that one. i had the opportunity to get him for $16 at a local hobby shop but passed up on him and go the Premium Ironhide instead.

[ultratron562]

cool i understand why he has to much blue on him even with the gold hes got too much blue

[Primemike177]

and rotf Ironhide

[garbagebin56]

this new head sculpt is the best

[fxfranz]

yup

[essjkid05]

the new head mold is tight but iron hide never rocked those stripes in the movie. not even those guns. great review. the first one still the best for me and its the movie iron hide in its truest form.

[fxfranz]

thanks

cool

[iwillxu1]

iron hides cool i like him better in the first film my favrute is scalpel ironhide and hightower

[fxfranz]

cool

[sbertke]

I wasn't planning on picking this figure up, but your rave review has changed my mind. Great review!

[fxfranz]

cool

thanks :-)

[tonertonki]

magkano po yan? 1500?

[fxfranz]

P1,700 sa mga retail toy shops sa Manila

[tonertonki]

ok thanks.. wala pa kase dito. pumunta ako toy kingdom wala pa din... ala talaga sa davao. nakaka inis... matatangal ba ang stripes? sana hindi nlng nila nilagyan ng stripes... wat u think? wats ur opinion mas maganda stripes or without stripes? maganda para sa akin kung alang stripes

[fxfranz]

ok lang yung stripes sa akin.

[tonertonki]

mas movie accurate kase

[rayen153]

haha ur voice sounds different =) and does ur ironhide's left leg have a problem with assembly?mine does and i had to fix it =.= ermm for the side of ironhide's legs u can juz lighly push the autmorphed part that moves to the side of his leg to the top so that it will slide easier when u close his feet in...and i wished it's window was painted black or translucent black...blue doesnt really look nice on it =3= mayb he's gonna be on my first review xD

[fxfranz]

yeah, bit of allergies

i'm not sure. looks pretty ok

cool

[rayen153]

erm fxfranz,do u convert the file type of this video to wmv or avi? or did u juz upload it onto youtube with the video as a .mov file?

[Longhaul56]

hehe , if you join a transformers posing contest ,you're sure to win top prize .

[fxfranz]

thanks :-) LOL

[kraahkanaKOROGOV94]

yup i agree, i might get this and armorhide tomorrow 11/28, excellent review

[fadhil211195]

i still prefer the ROTF ironhide

[fxfranz]

ok, cool

[jaricusprime]

is there a toy r us in the philippines

[fxfranz]

yup.

[jaricusprime]

kool

[nightslash3535]

The ROTF refresh line have plenty of new molds and extensively retooled original molds.

[MrReviewerDude]

not too shaby man : -) good accesories

[prudentdragoon]

you always pose your figures perfectly! I can't wait until you get the rest of the Leader figures, just to see how you'll pose them.

[fxfranz]

thanks :-) really appreciate it

[ultratron562]

actuly the head sculp is suposed to resemble his battle mask

[fxfranz]

cool

[fxfranz]

it's on tight when you get him out of the box. but once you pop off the head, it becomes so loose immediately that it's difficult to keep it on

[fxfranz]

yup

[palenzuelaricky]

pwede mo bang ilipat yung baril nya sa ibang ironhide

[fxfranz]

i'm not sure, pero parang hindi

[RebFOB35]

this thing was really great i had it last sunday

[fxfranz]

awesome

[TheLoneAndorian]

Nice video. I'm definitely picking up this redeco. By the way, if you move the panels on the inside of his legs out of their groove a bit before reversing the automorph, things will go a lot smoother, and you won't damage the automorph. I had the same problem on my Premium Ironhide.

[fxfranz]

interesting.... thanks

[flashboy95]

man wish i could pick him up...

but i can only pick 1 so its bludgeon..

so u get it at ur local hobby shop or genzhao?

[fxfranz]

nope, it's out on shelf at our regular toy retailers

[flashboy95]

wtf...

i have to ask my local toy shop owner if have bludgeon or not...

which 1 u recommend?

[AWstudios217]

i can picture him running over deers! LOL

[fxfranz]

LOL

[AWstudios217]

Man, Im willing to customize him for you!

[fxfranz]

i like it as it is

[palenzuelaricky]

amazing review

[fxfranz]

thanks

[keller500]

where'd you get him

[fxfranz]

it's out on shelf at our regular toy retailers here in Manila

[78ken78]

i like ur review..

i wish i hv spare money to buy the transformer line toy..

i only buy those in clearence..

[fxfranz]

thanks

buying on clearance is the best. i always cry when i see stuff i bought on regular price drop to one third it's price a few months later when it all goes on clearance

[newnanou]

would you suggest talking the strips off the figure when i get?

kool review!

[fxfranz]

thanks

not really. i think the stripes are ok. they grow on you

[MagnussPrime1]

I've been watching your reviews for some time now, you sure do know how to pose those figures like a champ! I'd love to see how many transformers you have and how cool they look on the shelf with your poses....you should consider doing an updated collection video show off which ones you have :)

[fxfranz]

thanks

yes, perhaps that's the most requested video for me to do.

i will be doing one soon. perhaps over the Christmas holidays

[jaricusprime]

WHATTT LUCKY
