The form appearing in Metal Cardbot W. Excluding Blue Cop, who has been strengthened multiple times each season as the protagonist, he is the only one among the Season 1 Metal Cardbots to receive a strengthened form. While the robot mode's appearance seems similar to before, the transformation method, various details, and part deployments have changed. The trailer, which used to disassemble into arms and the lower body before reassembling with the torso, now handles all parts except the chest and head as a single unit without disassembly. The wheel width has also become wide enough to make driving on regular roads difficult, and the silhouette has become quite sharp. Dragon-like elements have been added, such as the shoulder cannons that resemble wings and epaulettes and can be used as shields without issue, the sculpting throughout the body, and the shape of the Weapon Card. Instead of the Iron Sword, he now possesses a dedicated armament called the Heavy Gunsword, which has enhanced versatility for both long and close range. According to the designer, Lirbam, the specific motif is Valstrax, the flagship monster of the Monster Hunter series. According to the review by Blue Cop's designer, blue_audax, while they were hunting Valstrax together, the monster cast its comet attack. Lirbam, who knew nothing about the comet, watched in awe and was hit directly, resulting in a cart. It is said that Heavy Iron W was designed based on this intense memory. Because of this, as the designer directly mentioned, the shape of the Iron Shoulder Cannons is similar to Valstrax's wing design. Reflecting this anecdote, in Episode 23 of W, when Heavy Iron W goes berserk, his body turns silver-white and emits dark red effects from his wings, similar to Valstrax.
