Ah... wow. Early photos of this made me want to forget it existed but now I look at all these additional weapons and it looks like something I would gladly buy!

Exactly! Why can't they do one in red? they've redone every other movie character into G1-ish colors, why not Ironhide?

I agree I like the additional weapons, and I may pick him up if he goes on clearance.

This is AWESOME!!! the first ironhide should have been like this with massive weaponry!! and looks like his heads on a ball joint! and yes i would like to see one red!! hell red with the white lightning stripes will do too!! and when will we see him??

What a terrible color scheme.

Atleast attempt to make a new color layout. All they did was take the old mold, put silver streaks across it and added a couple weapons, and then turned them brown.

(Oh and yea, there's some reinforced windows and a rollcage on the bed, plus he has a sword and retooled wapons.)

That's about it. Unless you don't have one of these already, it doesn't make sense to get it.

Needs more guns.

I was disappointed with the 2007 Movie Ironhide, but I'm going to be tempted to get this one. Mostly for the weapons. B-)

You do realize that's not the finished design, right? Notice the roof and windshield are just unpainted white/gray plastic.

HA! AWESOME! Can't wait! :APPLAUSE:

EDIT- is that the newer ROTF head, or is it yet another new one? Note too the step-hoops under the doors, those are new too right?

I forgot to add this to my last post but I'm thinking JA Ironhide would be great posed on display against the upcoming Voyager Bludgeon. Ironhide's heavy artillery against Bludgeon's melee weapons would be a cool contrast. Alternatively, Ironhide could be dual wielding his knives. Hmm, I know I'm getting Bludgeon so I guess I'll have to get JA Ironhide so I can set up this display.

It looks like the same head sculpt that my RotF Voyager Ironhide has.

Now I feel like watching First Blood again and maybe Rambo 2 and 3, though First Blood isn't so much an action movie as it's a thriller and commentary on the after affects of war on soldiers and the fallout from Vietnam.

I know it was a joke.

It's cooler than i previously thought, but the paintjob is very bad.

It would be nice if it had an actual army pattern.

No. Way.

THAT IS AWESOME!!! I HAVE TO GET IT AND ALL REPAINTS OF IT IF THEY MAKE A G1 IRONHIDE REPAINT OF THAT AND IT HAS WEAPONS I WILL GET IT AND IT IS AWESOME! (I know I was speaking in run-on sentences, but I'm too excited!)

This is too cool! In fact, you see that smaller rifle? The machine gun one? It is called a 'minigun' on TFWiki, and on 'The Veiled Threat' prequel novel, Ironhide, Optimus, and Salvage, go to Australia to battle Kickback, Trample, and Tread, three construction vehicles (I call them Constructicons). Ironhide battles Tread, I believe. He first shoots Tread with one cannon, then with the other. Then, he says, "How about a taste of my two-thousand-round-per-second minigun?" Anyone? He uses a minigun which shoots really fast! Aw, come on! This is totally that gun!

If the final version doesn't use a lot of silver/white paint for the zebra stripes, I plan on removing them and having a mainly black body. When I first read "Jungle Attack" Ironhide, I was hoping for a military camo pattern too.

If the toy designers had the prequel novel in mind when adding the minigun, it would definitely be cool. Even if that's not the case, the minigun/gattling cannon type of weapon is a go-to weapon when designers want to up the b@d@$$ quotient of a character. I remember Jesse Ventura's character in Predator rocking it with a minigun.

This one looks sweet, when can we see it on shelves? Or will it be a special order?

News Credits: 2 · by **Convotron** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 1:38 pm

I don't recall the ETA but it's a standard retooling/redeco so it will be on store shelves.

by **Hard Hacker** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 2:28 pm

I just hope this toy's upgrades are given to Ironhide for the next film planned.

You know it makes sense.

Oh yeah, and this will be mine, before I forget.

Pretty cool weapons. At least he isn't robo-naked on the lower section of his vehicle mode anymore, the place where 2007 Ironhide had his guns attached. Love the "Locked and Loaded" feel that Ironhide is representing in his LATEST repaint/reissue. May buy him when his price drops just for that sniper rifle.
