Earlier today, we posted a video review for Hoist, one of the new Deluxe Class figures in the first wave of the upcoming War for Cybertron Earthrise toy line. Not content with just one review, we're now bring to you another video review, this time for Deluxe Class Ironworks! Brief refresher: Ironworks was the name of a non-transforming Micromaster base in the original G1 toyline. For Earthrise, Ironworks not only gains sentience, but also a pull-apart-to-transform robot mode, much like the Weaponizers of the Siege line. Unlike those figures, though, Ironworks reassembles into his old form as a Micromaster base, rather than weapons and armor. Now, onto the review!

This review comes to us from regular reviewer TonTon who does a great job showing off all the detail on the figure, as well as both his modes. Shout out to Seibertronians Calidus and TFanPage101 for the heads up.




Though the official release date for these figures isn't until March, the combination of figures already being reviewed and past toylines launching before the official date could mean we'll see these figures in the next couple of months, if not weeks. As always, what are your thoughts on this figure? Is this new play pattern with this type of figure a draw or a negative to you? Will you be picking up Ironworks to go along with your Micromaster figures? Let us know in the comments below.

FYI future reviewers: we’d also really like to see this guy:

* compared to some Micromasters

* connected to Omega Supreme

* connected to another Ironworks

... because I eventually need to decide if I’m buying one or two or six of this figure.

If it helps, assume there are 3 molds released in this line (per the Weaponizers) in 2 decos/retools each, possibly some ofvthem exclusive. How big do you want your base?

A base section made up of just 3-6 Ironworks? Yes please.
