Meh, at this point you've seen one movie ironhide you've seen them all. Looks pretty lame for a leader class figure too, granted it is pretty movie accurate and the wepon gimmicks are kinda cool but ill stick with my voyager and deluxe ones.

I'd wager that the eyes are a little larger so that the light up effects can be seen more. All in all, I am LOVING this fig. And I think the lighting is what is giving his legs the bluish appearance. I'm guessing they are aiming more a gunmetal grey- which naturally has a little blue mixed into it. Looking forward to adding this guy to my collection!

I almost want to get him, and turn him into Trailbreaker in my collection. Very nice mold, seems they finally got it right.

I wonder if they'll use blue LEDs... what would realy make this Ironhide perfect if the sound chip says "I just want to show him my cannons", "Punk ass Decpticons" (changed to "Decpticon Punk") and something cool from DOTM.

Meanwhile every freakin' DOTM toy on eBay is being claimed fraud. Bye bye dreamers, wait for it to come out...

Yes but I got my money back, and we still don't know if it's coming but they said they told it to stop shipping, it's still unclear.

I'm talking to all the people who were GOING to, they're screwed.

If it's true that every DOTM toy on Ebay is being claimed as a fraudulent auction, that makes me wonder if Hasbro has a hand in it. And if so, what the hell are they thinking? That's just going to lead to other grey markets where sellers can hock these toys, making it more difficult to track and oversee.

Oh damn, this is really nice. While the guns are not as proportionate compared to the older Voyagers, I like the fact they can tuck away and deploy much like the way they do in the movie. With ROTF's Leader Prime and Starscream, the DOTM Leader set looks to be a very good collection. If I could, I'd get all three.

Now, if there were only a good Leader Megatron. Considering the new incarnation has a more feasible alt-mode compared to the first two movies, I think it would be worth it to see a Leader version. Also, thinking about the mass of a Leader figure and the fact the truck mode has a cab AND trailer tanker, I think a Leader class version with an alt mode that's in scale with Battle Blades Prime would be really cool.

So much want.

Looks so boss. He'll fit nicely alongside my ROTF Prime and SS. Now hasbro --do a *&^^*%^&$% good LC Megatron so i can get it!!!!

Top 3 wants:
1. US MP Rodimus --hope his future is not still on the rocks

2. RTS Warpath -- KAPOW!!!
3. LC Ironhide

possibly LC Sentinel Prime

I think LC Ironhide will look great next to the HA guys.

This could well be my only purchase from the DOTM line, with Shockwave another possibility...

Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:25 am

Good call... Hal7300

Shockwave would make an execellent LC along with Soundwave.

ehhh, just not seeing it.

I like how his cannons flip down, but he still has not bed to his truck mode, and his arms don't look right with his cannons out or in. (I'll wait to see what his DOTM character looks like) But they just don't look right to me.

Sorry to disappoint but all we're hearing now-a-days is that there are going to be 3 Leaders in the DOTM line but perk up, Maybe that's just for Wave 1 (These leaders are Bumblebee Ironhide and Sentinel. Yeah Hasbro forgettin' about dem REAL leaders)

This guy looks great. The legs and torso look really good though the forarms are sporting some kibble. I still think the best Ironhide may be the Recon Ironhide, just cause I liked his cannons. These cannons look a little small, and I like when they are detachable, so they dont have to cram into the vehicle mode and create kibble. The knife storage is pretty cool. Is head is kinda lame, the eyes look to big, but I think that may be a glare effect on a heavily light pipped area. The battle mask is interesting and a nice little touch, not to mention an unobtrusive gimic. He definitly looks cool, and I want him now, but I dont need another Ironhide! Dang, this sucks!

Sun Mar 27, 2011 2:34 pm

I'm willing to accept the smaller more stylized weapons for the fact that they're not hanging out of vehicle mode somewhere rediculous, and the rest of the mold is sheer badass.

Maybe because those are the 3 Autobots that die in DOTM. Think about it, every Autobot leader we've gotten for the movies has died. Well, Optimus was brought back, but still.

Sun Mar 27, 2011 4:15 pm

Looks great; I'll definitely be getting one!

Sun Mar 27, 2011 7:41 pm

I'm getting this for sure when it comes out :grin:

I have extreme doubts of that, they wouldn't kill off Bumblebee if he's the kid's favorite character. It would be 1986 all over again.
