NCS Product Synopsis
Update: December 31, 2007
«©NCSX» The Generation 1 toy assault continues with the release of Transformers Encore #5 and #6 a few days ago in Japan. In vehicle form, both Transformers take on the appearance of a van from the era of the early 80s with a single racing stripe on the side. We were expecting fake wood paneling in the interiors but no dice on that front.In the G1 cartoons, Ironhide was a boxy robot who served as Optimus' bodyguard and served as security detail for the Autobots HQ on Earth. He looked like a normal robot so why does Ironhide's "robot" form in Encore 5 appear to be an abomination of disheveled plastic that got mashed together? Ironhide doesn't even have a helm and a flat screen serves as a sort of head to peer into. In vehicle mode, Ironhide shifts into a Nissan Onebox Cherry Vanette. The toy is made of ABS plastic but the fender and bits on each robot's chest are made of diecast metal. Each package also includes with a card, instructions, three silvery missiles and a silvery cannon accessory. Jan Code: 4904810792390 View the back cover and screenshots on the main NCSX website.
