The Takara release of Demolishor (as "Ironhide"), also in that series' first wave, renders the figure in more primary, show-accurate colors, painting him a more greenish shade of tan and making his face brown rather than black, and features a Decepticon symbol with proper "separated" paint applications, among several other smaller paint changes. The seat can also be used for Demolishor's rudimentary "Attack Base" mode, which involves folding out his legs/treads to turn him into an elevated anti-aircraft station. This launcher is activated by a tiny button on Demolishor's rear, where there is also a seat that Blackout or any other appropriately-jointed Mini-Con can sit in to "man" his guns. When in vehicle mode, Blackout can be inserted into the space between Demolishor's front treads, forming a more "complete"-looking tank, from where he can be propelled into action by a small spring-loaded launcher. In vehicle mode, Demolishor features extra Mini-Con compatibility design specially around his partner Blackout. Reportedly, Demolishor was to feature this gimmick in both shoulders, but it was cut back to one for cost considerations, so his right shoulder now simply holds two spare missiles. His primary Mini-Con gimmick is the twin spring-loaded missile launcher in his left shoulder attaching any Mini-Con to the Powerlinx port there pops the launcher forward, after which the missiles can be fired simultaneously by pulling the Mini-Con back. Part of the first wave of Armada "Super-Con Class" toy (basically "deluxes"), Demolishor transforms into an anti-aircraft missile tank of made-up model, though it appears to be heavily based on the ADATS weapon system. The Armada Demolishor toy doubles as the Generation 1 character Demolisher.
