But I decided it didn't make any sense to just try to make a toy that already existed. No, this was going to go all the way and make a Kreon-scale G1 Vintage Ironhide. I like to call it a Super-kreon.
The battle platform features a firing rocket, gun turret, and articulated "wings." The wings can fold down to accommodate passengers (although the treads sometimes have to be repositioned to handle the extra weight.) Ironhide's backside can be attached to a tall brick element to secure him to the platform.
Ironhide is removable from his battle platform, and stands slightly taller than a plain-old, non-super Kreon.
