Good grief. He looks like my drunk uncle that used to stumble around my house at thanksgiving. I'll pass on this gut busted sloppy drunk lookin mess.

Your Uncle is a transformer?

There should have been a hing point under the windshield that tucked in the lights and bumper behind the windshield to lean him out a bit. I also am not a fan of those hip panels.

He sure was when he got drunk. :lol:

...Does he include a "horrible and painful dying face" accessory?

For those interested in replicating his look in the Movie of course.

Hate to say it but these pictures have me less excited than the announcement photos. I don't think the angle that the pictures were taken helps much either.

Still, that's not a great way to introduce yourself.

At least, let's retry that image, shall we?

And that's not a great way to welcome new people.

Let's try that again shall we? Maybe be helpful?

Stephen, for some reason, some image hosts don't want to work with our forum software, not sure why. Are you able to upload it to Photobucket at all? (We know that one works)

-edit-
Those new pictures confuse me ... in some he looks awesome, in others he just looks like an unfinished blocky prototype.

Yes he had a diaper normally, but not like that. It looks terrible. Much disappoint. Real **** skipped.

He appears to be slightly mistransformed in the above photos. His abdomen piece is missing.

I Agee! That's what I said earlier. :-?

I think Ironhide will be fine!

I am thinking the same thing you guys! Those flaps at his hips (hopefully) can turn upwards to cover that gap and perhaps the upper torso needs to be slighty pulled downwards to click it tight. Those last pictures look a lot better... I preserve judgement...

the dude seems to have a few flaws.. but as we've seen time and again, he is surprisingly one of the hardest characters to render justice to.

i will take him warts and all.

That was more Prowl. Ironhide and Ratchet were just blasted a bunch, then we never saw his face when Megatron fired the "Such heroic nonsense." follow-up.

But yes he does come with it LOL

Take a look at the picture that show the back up close. There is a vertical hinge. I think you're right about the panels moving out of the way. Except they swivel back rather than flipping up. :-B

Hm, I don't think the hip panels are going anywhere. The earliest photos (from the projector screen) were the official stock photos that Takara uses on the box and the website.

This is what he will look like (only better in hand no doubt.)

And I believe the second expression face is a general battle/shouting face.

There is a hinge connection on the hip panels

Take two...

Did a quick 'shop to adjust some proportions. Just scaled the pelvis and "folded" the bumper and lights into the chest piece.

Yeah, it's always baffling how often the figures are misstransformed officially. At least here, it's perfect.

If the price is reasonable, it's a defenitive buy for me.
