Construct-Bots - This will be my first posting on Construct-Bots. I was curious on how Constuct-Bots mechanism work and how it differ from the already established Lego Bionicle/Hero Factory line and the normal Kre-O brick line. Hasbro stated that with Construct-Bots; you don't need to remove the parts to transform from one form to another. As an additional info; this Construct-Bots (CB) Ironhide is not my first CB. That would be Starscream and I will review it when the time comes. So here is my review of Ironhide.
Parts
Ironhide makes up of 45 pieces of plastic parts (yes, I've cheated a bit and Google it). As a scout class; there is not much going on. You can finish it up less than 3 minutes. Ironhide comes with a small gun.
Vehicle Mode
One thing you will have to understand about CB vehicle form was that; it was never meant to copy a real life vehicle. The closest thing you will get was a sort-of-Cybertronian vehicle. I really do love the vehicle mode. Sort of bulky but fairly minimize look. Almost look like a dune buggy.
Robot Mode
I love how Ironhide really look and feel. Felt like a younger version of him. Skinny and not much going on for a weapon specialist. He should be; no he deserved to be a triple changer or an Elite Class. But that is what CB is all about. Customization. Get the rest of the CB figure and you can make him a bad ass that he deserved to be.
Conclusion
I think the rear view picture has a wobbly leg. But that does not mean he is not sturdy. One thing I am amaze about CB was that it is quite sturdy and sometimes can be heck of a nuisance. Why? Some parts need to be push hard into the pegs itself. I never did try to customize CB much as I love them the way they are. But who knows that some day, I might show you a customize version of them.
