I can't get behind this project i keep looking at it and wondering why they didn't up scale it , Personally i can't have Ironfist a scout a very simple and stumpy one at that, it looks good for what it is but...

I'm still disappointed they used this , to me this size and look is a totally different project to DC , i was pumped to see what the next DC figure would be, maybe a deluxe or bigger but i definitely wanted to see it carry over the same design and aesthetic as the jump starters

It just seems such a waist of a character everybody wants to see done and MI had us on edge for the next installment of this line and imo dropped the ball big time .

I like it. Not perfect but it will fill the gap for that character well enough.

I never even read the comic so Im good with Ironfist this scale. Deluxe would have been nice, but whatever. $29.99 is a pretty good deal. I just hope they color the Crankcase repaint in more accurate colors than the Mach 5 renders.

Hell yeah these guys are coming soon ? Glad I haven't shipped my POL. I still think Ill get TFCC Ironfist just in case they randomly release all the FOC Combaticon molds.

I love that Ironfist. I'll get the Crankcase just because it's cheap, but I'll replace it if someone ever makes a better one.

They look much less squat/chubby in the flesh (er... plastic).

For me, that better one already existed in the 2007 Movie line(the one that was supposed to be in Universe).

Were you having trouble with the review link?

I was hoping mech ideas would get crankcases color right. He is supposed to ne mostly blue. Is there a reason why he is dark grey ? Maybe they want to pull an igear and sell me a comic/toy accurate version later because they know i will buy it.

the transformation is different from the G1. So some of the vehicle mode (which was always dark grey---unless he showed up in the background of the comics sometime) ends up on the bot mode, rather than his chest just being the bottom of the vehicle.

edit: and yet looking up pics of the toy (that I used to own, FFS, but obviously have forgotten aspects of) his bot mode chest was always grey. Couple of blue stickers, but mostly grey. The arms and lower legs are blue though.

edit 2: basically: Whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis?

This is actually nothing to do with the custom head and weapons that have been teased for Gauntlet.
