Iron Strike (sometimes parsed Ironstrike) is a fictional character and third-party Transformer homage to Metalhawk made by Play With This Too.

Lost Protectors

Iron Strike is a fictional character made by Play With This Too for their Lost Protectors series. He is the leader of the Strike Fleet who wears a power Aegis Armor capable of flight and various weapons. He carries a Persuader rifle and fires Star Hawk missiles. As the Envoy of Eternity he never tires or ages and heals from any wound almost instantly. He has a Tech Drone companion named R-Deemer who turns from robot to jet.

Development

Iron Strike is an homage to Metalhawk.

Rik Alvarez first mentioned a figure named Steel Cock on the Retro Robot Radio show in October 2014. He said it was a 70% remold of Astroblast.

Play With This Too first revealed art of Iron Strike on their Facebook page in January 2015.[1]

The rights to the head sculpt for Iron Strike were to be sold to backers at the Play With This Too crowd funding, but the design was never used in the campaign.

"Jetstrike, Ankhor and Ironstrike will all have the option for one person to own the right to have their face placed on the figure regardless of age, gender or ethnicity."

In April 2017 Play With This Too posted a color picture of Iron Strike on Twitter.[2]

Reception

Rik was interviewed on the TFYLP podcast on October 10th, 2014. The hosts said they wanted a version of Metalhawk.[3]

The Retro Robot Radio show for October 25th, 2014 interviewed Rik Alvarez. The show discussed Play With This Too team members Mark Wong, Steve Redinger, Trent Troop, Ken Christiansen, Aaron Archer and Simon Furman. It also talked about the toys for Ancient Astronaut, Astroblast, Bloodbath, Boneyard, Desolataur, Jetwash and Steel Cock as well as the first three volumes of Head Shots.[4]

The Cybercast podcast for November 22nd, 2014 interviewed Rik Alvarez. He spoke about Play With This Toosday reveals, Astroblast, Bloodbath, Desolataur, Ironstrike, Jetwash, The Mighty Muscules - Son of Testosteros, Tri-Gorr and the Play With Yourself Box Set. He announced the villains of his series would be called Heretics and that the first Play With This Toosday reveal would be of interest to Masters of the Universe fans.[5]
