I actually don't even dislike it. That's the funny thing. I can understand price-point being an issue, since Voyagers aren't exactly cheap. I do think the Voyager Ironhide is worth the extra money for what you get, especially if we are talking about the $12 price-point. Now, if we see it for the rollback $9.00 price, I will be ready to pounce all over it.

+1, How many renditions do we really need, do another line or make more movie versions of the animated, i only buy 1 oaf a character in a line ie: leader prime, megs, jetfire,....unless it's buster prime and jetfire.

Like I said before with Ratchet, whats the point of downsizing from voyager to deluxe ??? This was a waste of time even creating this mold because it was time wasted that they could have used to bring us characters that dont have a figure like the remaining constructicons.

Not really digging him myself. While I do like the head and the tie-in with the game, the arms just seem too stubby, and that light blue that the hands seem to be colored just look... wrong.

Where did this go wrong?

Movie Ironhide (and Ratchet) just works better as a Voyager Class figure.

Deluxe is great for many a character, but it does make the design suffer sometimes, and this is a shining example of that suffrage.

The blue is just ridiculous. It looks terrible.
He's too squat and proportioned weirdly.
Sadly, the only good part of him is that ridiculous looking cannon accessory.

Ah, a perfect example of opinion being thrown around as if it was golden truth, and with no respect for the opinion of others.

Those of us who put the figure down, directed our comments towards the figure itself, we never once denounced the opinions of the people who look upon this figure favorably. Unlike you, who did.

The only thing you're right about (and is a fact) is that it's affordable.

The rest of what you said is pure opinion, not fact. Some may agree with you, some may not. Don't be surprised if there's quite a few who don't.

Show some respect next time. Even if you don't agree, be polite.

Isn't ironhide supposed to be squat and wierdly proportional?
