Tsche-chu-chu-chu-tsche!

Is the Ironhide the same size as the cars or is he bigger?

Bigger.

[mcfmullen]

I dunno. I kinda feel like the recent third party offerings have nailed down Ironhide better. That said, I will still be getting this because, my name.

The Ironhide mold is not licensed from what I can tell.

It's a Nissan Sunny Vanette. So 100% MP tradition (except for Optimus and UM who looks suspiciously like a Freightliner truck), this is going to be licensed.

Ironhide's upper body should be vertically parallel, but it's / \ shaped. His lower body is too wide. His torso should be 4:3 ratio, but it's 3:4. These things make his proportions look off. He doesn't look too bad though. Still worth the purchase for me.

He seems to look better "in-person" --



-- than in some of the stock-photos.

[Cobotron]

Your right CP.
I kind of think these are CG renders.

What do you think? Photos or renders?

[sol magnus]

I agree the stock photos look a bit wonky. I also agree the "in-person" photos portray a much more favorable picture.

I know what manufacturer made the vehicle. What's your proof it'll be licensed? I see no licensed branding anywhere on the alt mode.

It will be posted in the box like the other Cybertron cars.If not, then like MP 09 and 10.

Just to clarify for myself, the van was originally made by Datsun, and of course now it's Nissan, Ya?

I think he looks fantastic. This also all but assures a Ratchet as well, and that's really cool. I have no idea what to do with my i-Gear ones now, other than appreciate their few years of service on the MP shelf.

I'd heard the sled was just a totally separate accessory somewhere, but the pictures make it look more and more like part of the van mode. Any thoughts on that?

I think the sled being a seperate piece in the image showing what is probably the back of the box, and all the accessories included, means that it will be a seperate accessory on the toy. Although, like you say, the pictures do make it look like it is the hood section of the van. I am happy with both those options as both are awesome homages in their own way.

Looks like the photos that they later crop and use on the back of the box.

Ah ha. I see. I also trust your eye in this matter.

Why wouldnt this be the back of the box:

I think it needs one more picture added, the picture of Ironhide in alt mode in the back of MP-10s trailer (didn't I see that somewhere..?)

I can't wait. And then Ratchet! Wooooooooo!!!!

That's the pic I linked to in my post. :)

I don't like the torso. Here's why:

Ironhide's upper body should be vertically parallel, but it's / \ shaped. His lower body is too wide. His torso should be 4:3 ratio, but it's 3:4. These things make his proportions look off.

UM butt flap IS anime accurate though.

is it? got any screenshots cos i don't recall it and couldn't find anything....

I'm hoping it's part of the van. I've come to terms with the cartoon accuracy in this line, but I always appreciate a nod to the original toys. It seems like it would kind of be a waste and not in line with the awesomeness of these toys if it were separate.

OMG he is bigger than Titan Devy

That is one massive monkey

Whoever get the top billing is fine. A cherry on top the ice cream.

Is that the same inflatable gorilla you see on the roof of car dealerships?

I'd kill to see a car dealership flying a giant inflatable Optimus Primal over its property.
