But this is a new design with an old name that certainly would be even worse with the old color patterns as well!
I beg to differ, because i know for a fact he looks great in red, even with the old gold line down the side.
Doesnt look no worse than this stupid two-tone blue.
I'm not saying the blue is good either, but red will make hime look like a can or crushed tomatoes.
However, since you know for a fact he'll look good in red, show me, and if you're correct, I'll gladly tip my hat in your favor.
Till then, I personaly can't tell you what colors I'd like to see him in, if anything I think a black and silver combination would compliment this design well with some chrome accents.
He's a great bot, but to many details get lost in black, the blue just isn't right as it's to bright, and red is gonna be gaudy.
I seperated these movie figures from there G1 counterparts, most I even renamed. It made them more easy for me to adapt to. So on that note, since we have an all new design, why not try an all new color pattern?
If the guys name was, I don't know, TopCannon, or Johnny BlueJeans, instead of IronHide, I think alot of people would agree with me here.
However, it doesn't change the fact that it is IronHide, so I can see why people are so adimant about this. You know, if it LOOKED like G1 IronHide I'd feel the same, but since it doesn't, I say go for broke, try something new!
But again, I am with you on one thing, I don't like this blue.
I will show you, but it isnt ready yet. I am waiting for the paint to fully dry. I have a preview up in the kitbash forum though, look for the thread "he is coming."

Could just be a redeco like the Concept Bumblebee redeco into Cliffjumper. Though can't think of who would transform into a blue pickup.

The only one I can think of is G2 Motormouth, but that's pretty obscure:

Ironhide was also blue for a Universe release, again, pretty obscure though:

I agree with the consensus, red would've looked 1000 times better.

From what I saw, very nice. However I did notice alot more silver than red.
I give you alot of credit for what I saw in that glimpse, however knowing from experience, Hasbro will put no where mear as much effort into a repaint as you will.
IF they where to do a red repaint, I'll bet you dollars to dougnuts you'll get a giant red mass with a few accents to break it up. If you doubt me, I offer you 20+ years of subpar repaints as prof.

Oh hell i know what you mean there man i feel ya. Hasbro would never give us something of the quallity i am doing with this toy. But trust me you are gonna freaking like this re-paint of mine. All i gotta do is wait a few more days to make sure the paint it fully dry, as the gloss i put over the paint to make it shiney and to healp seal the paint tends to remain sticky for a while and collects fingerprints, so to avoid those nasty fingerprints screwing up all my paint i'll let him sit for a while until hes done, then i can take some pics of him in some poses and hopefully some alt mode shots as well, but they again have to wait till the paints perfectly dry too./
Damn exuse my typoing right now....im on some sleeping pills and they are making me feel very drunk so i can barely typew. lol

BTW i still DON'T agree with the freakishly disproportioned "tanks" sticking out the bottom mid section. It even looks tacky in robot mode as weapons.
