New to me, and I'm not here daily. Interesting that all the Autobots we've seen so far have these big extra weapons. Obviously combiner kibble! (just kidding

)

The extra weapons are part of the gimmick of the line. They are interchangable and some are transformable and combinable.

Wow! He looks great! And finally in black again. It looks like my weapon accessory gimmick theory was correct. I still have to try to find the first two molds before the movieverse is killed...

Pass.

I may change my mind once we have better pictures, or if I ever get him in hand, but as of now...pass.

He just looks so much like Iron Hides we've seen in the past. I almost wish Michael Bay found a reason to repaint the Trainsformers for the movies so we could at least get some toys that see a bit different.

We've been treated with some great teasers of the upcoming Transformers: Dark Of The Moon toy line. Now we've got a closer look at the Autobot gunslinger, Ironhide. This figures features new legs, new arms, a new chest, and new weapon! The only difference is the head that resembles the head on Recon Ironhide (pictured below for comparsion). This version of Ironhide is also featured on the packaging of some random Tanker Truck, so all directions point at this being a Voyager Class Ironhide. Sad about this not being a Leader class? Don't stress, It's unlikely that Takara's Movie Masterpiece-03 will be of such inferior class size. But forget about that, enjoy the looks at the new figure!

Still think recon Ironhide is the best one

by **WolfDawg** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 2:59 pm

Not feeling it. His legs look WAY too skinny. I still don't have a Bayverse Ironhide...maybe the Leader class version will finally entice me.

by **FflawSuperior** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 2:59 pm

That looks like the last 4 Ironhides that have come out, with a very slightly different paint scheme and a lil bit of a different weapon - I do enjoy repaints, but repainting the same figure half a dozen times in 2-3 years really kills the figure.

However I do find Recon Ironhide was worth it - This one just looks like the regular black Deluxe Ironhide that just came out in HFTD.

Window sticker missing, different coloured wheels (could be lighting), and possibly different/larger bed :/

Agreed. Wouldn't mind Ironhide getting a new vehicle scan or something like that.

Well, I am holding out for the Leader Class. I am also of the opinion that recon Ironhide looked really good, and if the Leader Class somehow fails to be impressive, that's the one I'm gonna get, even if I have to eBay it.

by **ausbot** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 4:25 pm

Now if only we could get a decent red and gray version!

fail. i think the voyager class that has been done a million times looks better

by **Wes Crayon** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 6:55 pm

Do we often see ball joints on voyager figures? I'm thinking it's a deluxe, what with the ball joints on the elbows/hands and the thinness of the legs (especially the knee connectors). Unless it's a really small or light voyager, I don't think it'd fare too well with that kind of construction.

by **Optillamanus** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 8:59 pm

This is inferior in just about every way to every Ironhide put out so far. Are they just redesigning stuff for the sake of it, regardless of whether it's actually good?

by **JetOptimus23** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 9:10 pm

Just when you thought he couldn't get a bigger weapon... he does.

by **The Dude** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 11:53 pm

Figuratively speaking, this thing looks exactly the same as the Deluxe and the last Voyager. I started to see some point in this when I thought it would be Leader class, but what the heck? :???:

The only conceivable way I'll buy this is if it's in red. And not red like the FAB version. G1 Ironhide Red.

I think I'm perfectly content with my first movie Premium Voyager Ironhide. It's great scale-wise and has a pretty decent/good mold, plus some meat on dem bones... *ahem* Uh, I mean bulk to his limbs, like he should.

. This guy's okay, but he's a little too skinny for my taste. :-?

News Credits: 9 · by **Mykltron** » Sat Dec 25, 2010 5:06 am

SERIOUSLY? Is that the best they can do for a Leader class? Easy pass.

He's supposed to be really bulky not lanky like this.

I hate to disappoint you guys (kidding, I love it

), but there is no Leader Ironhide: it's the same toy as the one in this news story:

Dark Of The Moon "Leader Class" Ironhide Revealed

Feel free to pelt me.

by **Xterminator** » Sat Dec 25, 2010 11:55 am

I agree, it is the same toy (at least the vehicle mode).

Anyway, I don't think the Leader Class fits well Ironhide.
I would rather see a Human Alliance Ironhide, IMO a must-have if ever released.
