The last of the 5 autobots I've managed to get from the first movie with a couple of vehicles from the RPMs line. Next, I will be looking for action bases / hangar base units to create a diorama display for them.
Hey everyone, today I'm going to look at this really old Transformers RPMs Ironhide Autobot
from the first Transformers film. So this is really old and these, you know, in terms of
the whole gamut of Transformers toys, these are really way down, but I'm into diecast cars and
I quite like these and I'm interested in smaller sized models and I've got here the Titanium
series mini figure of Ironhide and I'm trying to collect a whole cool set so one day I can do
an awesome diorama which I can show you. So first, this is the figure itself. Because these figures
come from, you know, these are really old now, I couldn't find one in the packet so I got this one
that had been displayed before by another collector from eBay and it's in pretty good nick
and let's zoom into the face. There's not much detail on the face in terms of the paint but they
have got like the different segments like his face plate and then his cheeks on the side and then
his helmet like that or the top of his head I should say and then we can see like the front
of the vehicle split in two for his chest and then we've got this kind of god metal blue
which is really nice on the chest and abdomen and on the sides. These highlights are just really
cool with the gold, black, silver, has a few paint defects there but small. This is really small
scale anyway so just a standing model it does the job. I like how this figure's got shiny parts,
shiny black or glossy black and then matte black finish so they've varied it up like that and I
think for a tiny little figure like this they've done a good job. I just wish maybe there's a bit
of, I don't know, a bit of silver on the face or maybe it was a bit too hard but
they've got some kind of blue but it's quite hard to see. So there we go, that's a faithful
representation. Again it's very small and yeah one day when I've got enough of them I'll do a video
on a scene or a diorama with them all in so I'm looking, that's you know what I've been looking
forward to for a long time and yeah okay let's put him to the side. Okay and now we've got the
vehicle mode here. So a lot of the diecast cars I've bought originally started because I was trying
to actually find smaller diecast versions of the Transformers vehicle modes and it's actually very
hard to find quite a few of them outside of Transformers branded toys because they're so
unique and this one I couldn't find this anyway so I just bought the Transformers toy.
Yeah so here we go, so let's just get this open. I managed to find this on ebay
99 pence which is fantastic, not including postage and packaging but
and we can see on the back they've got a picture of the car here. Yeah it's a shame they don't tell
you anything about the vehicle itself, GMC 4x4 top kick but yeah you can always look on
Transformers wikipedia for that. So let's get this open, oh comes off like this, all right well yeah
okay so that's that, great and now there we go. Let's get this all out, yeah it's quite
good packaging, it's very secure in there, cool. Okay so this is Ironhide and I really like how
they've got the light blue lights at the front, really does remind me of the character from
the movie. I think, I can't tell, I think this is, I think this is plastic, I think this is all plastic,
you've got a harder plastic for the shell and a softer plastic for inside and these just
wibbly wobbly and we've got Transformers logos all over, got one here, got one there if I can
focus on it, there's a picture of Ironhide underneath the vehicle itself, 4x4 and GMC so
there we go, looks pretty good to me. I think Transformers RPMs did do a couple of other
variations, let me just see if I can get one, I did indeed have one, so this
is a kind of half transformed Ironhide from the truck as you can see and this is diecast,
this part is metal and the rest of it, the base and these are plastic and obviously the windows as
well, it's a bit of a scratch on this one, very clear Transformers logo on the top there and yeah
silver, even got, sorry, gold rimmed wheels as well, so that's that one here. For me,
just for accuracy, you know, I never saw it, I don't really think I ever saw it like in the film,
I don't, I can't remember if it did but this is the one that I really wanted because that is how
it looked. This one, this is just a really cool variation, I'll show you the front, lots of,
although it's not painted, they've sculpted the details in so yeah, look at all that stuff,
going across there, lots of different things going on, very complex and yeah, got this kind of
segments going on, I thought it looked like a really fun, really cool vehicle but I do prefer
the original right here, so let's give all of these Ironhide models a spin, there we go,
so yeah, I think I've got an Optimus Prime and I've got a, I've got the Ratchet car and from
the first film, I'm missing the Jazz which is the Pontiac Solstice and I've seen some die-cast
versions of it but it does not look like the one that they modified in the film with a spoiler,
so I think I'll probably try and find the RPM version of that to keep it accurate too and
they'll have the set of the five main character, Transformer characters in the first film which
I'd really like to display as a set sometime. Okay, let me know what you think of this video
