We have reported that several of the figures in the Transformers Movie toy line would be getting repaints. Now it looks like we can add another figure to the list. An image of a blue repaint of movie Ironhide has been posted on VisualMedia.com. Click here to view images of the repaint in both bot and alt modes. Not much is about the figure at this time. Pay attention to the Seibertron.com Toy Section bccause we will post for details as they become available.

Red would have been nice.

Yeah, red would have been nice. But maybe they'll rename this one as Motormouth...

meh. He doesn't really do much for me.

Red would have been the better choice.

This color scheme reminds me of a Nemesis Prime. With the Aqua blue highlights and all.

In any case, they might go out on a limb and call him Kup?:-?

I know I know the blue is a little too dark. but still... :grin:

I second that. This does remind me a bit of the Diaclone Blue Trailbreaker though.

Hmmmm... *looks at the color scheme* Dare I to hope that's a movie Skids figure? =p

Is this a custom or a factory repaint? I think it doesent look that great.

Yeah, it's "NAVY PATROL IRONHIDE WITH AQUAMARINE PULSE CANNONS!!111!!!!"

Y'know, like... Nightwatch Optimus Prime and Recon Barricade. :roll:

Nightwatch Ironhide?

Still, this is another ugly ugly u-huh-huh-huuuugly repaint. The movie line repaints have been nothing but god-awful. Remember in Cybertron when all the repaints were awesome? Like Cannonball, Repugnus, Ransack GTS, etc...

This is such a stupid repaint...I think my brain just broke.

That's what I was thinking.

Oh, and I thought my hat in for red is better as well.

if this is an official repaint i will be getting it, and then turning his head around, since the back of his head is soundwaves face, and calling him movie soundwave

Now THAT'S ugly.

Battle Damage Nightwatch Ironhide!

Seriously, a red repaint would have looked great, I have no idea what this is supposed to be.

by **Vega** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 5:49 pm

Are you sure that is an official repaint? It looks like a custom to me.

News Credits: 1082 · by **Tigertrack** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 5:55 pm

It's not battle-damage its dirt from the wheel...

Paint scheme does look a but Soundwave-y...

I'm thinking it's just the pic, but it doesn't look good to me.

Also, I can't help but wonder why no G1 pattern like so many other movie figures are getting?

I'm not doubting you, but I wanna ask if you have some pics of that.

My IronHide is in alt mode as part of a display that I don't want to take apart to see this.
