Ironhide is probably the best, definitley in the top two with Optimus Prime in looking both good and closest to the version which appeared in the movie. Well vehicle anyway, the raised image on the undercarriage of the robot isn't as close. It's great to see some Transformers cars come out as die-cast vehicles. Since the Japanamation cartoons in the 80s, collectors have wanted to see these sitting besides other movie Matchbox, Johnny Lightning, Corgi and other manufacturers on the shelf vehicles, so good on Hasbro for doing this. Would also love for Hasbro to release the original 80s Japanamation versions as well where Ironhide of course would be a red van. At the time of this review all the Transformer vehicles available are from one of the two non animated movies (first movie came out 2007).

There is no scale written on the packaging but I would guess it's 1:55 (1:64 is your standard mass produced Matchbox and Hot Wheel sized car). I own collect 1:64 sized movie diecast cars and there's really not a lot of difference. These RPMs are slightly longer and taller but not much. If you only have 1:64 scaled vehicles in your collection, these Transformers cars won't look out of place.

Instead of making them out of the same metallic material Matchbox cars and the like are made of, Hasbro chose the cheaper option of making these out of plastic and that does lower their durability and the overall rating. The plastic makes them a lot more fragile than your typical Matchbox and other brands vehicle. Considering Transformers fight each other and are involved in a lot of action scenes, you'd think this factor would have come to mind when Hasbro thought about how kids would play with these. Not that I'm too sure how attractive these are too kids when you consider they don't transform at all into robots and you can get key ring sized actual transformers for around the same price on the shelves next to these in the stores.

These appeal more to people like me who are collectors who are primarily going to just put them on display, which is why it's a little bit silly that they're made out of plastic as a lot of collectors on discussion boards are saying the plastic is why a lot of them aren't buying these! If you aren't planning on taking these out of their packaging, and the packaging displays well enough you don't need to with a clear blister at the part of the backing card where the car is (see my customer images), then the plastic factor probably won't bother you.
