I like it. Very cool looking. One of the better-looking robots, in my opinion. Really like the truck altmode too

He's pretty good but the cannons that are placed under him in his alt-mode really don't make him much of a "Robot in disguise".

Maybe they're suppose to be REDICULOUSLY huge running boards?

Or possibly gas tanks just waiting to hit a stone that's sitting an inch off the pavement!

Lets hope the person in front of him doesn't flick a cigerette out the window going down the highway. KABLOOLIE!

He looks awesome. Just like an Alternator!

He's alright. Like the FAB version better, doesn't have huge gattling guns attached to the under carriage. Not bad though otherwise.

All in all i'm liking the movie toys (yes even old Screamer!), something nice and different.
Gotta love the big ass guns on his arms.

Next to ultra deluxe Prime, this guy is probably my second favorite - with Blackout probably #3.

It's weird how sometimes new shows will coinside with my personal sagas, but I don't let them dictate what goes on with my shelf space.

Oh, and I don't like all the kibble on the trucks underbelly.

I've been doing that since RID. And i shall continue doing that untill hasbro creates some more good classic figures.

Let me guess, the ones in your sig right? (which I think is great looking BTW)

If hasbro would make Classics of the TFs in my sig i could die a happy man. And they aren't the only ones. I have a long list of TFs that i think should be remade in the Classics line. But Soundwave is the one i really want made. A PSP or a DS would be cool.

Looks decent to me. It's no Alternator, but the guns underneath look intimidating in vehicle mode, too. If I saw a truck with those, I'd ask, "Did some crazy guy mount jets beneath his truck?" (I kid not, there is a guy in my local area who has mounted a T58 jet engine into his VW Beetle.) I like the aesthetic in robot mode, since in principle I take Ironhide as a tough, old-fashioned, and honorable veteran of few words. I care more whether he represents that character than whether he's red. Honestly, this beats the original vanette. Maybe I'll get used to the heads eventually.

Sence when was TF Ironhide Diaclone Ironhide? and sence when was a he a Predacon?

Well he is a great looking figure, and I'm definetly going to pick him up, but He's going to be Trailbreaker to me. Ironhide, really needs to at least be red-ish in some way. But the toy is awesome.

So far My must buys are,

Ratchet, Barricade, Brawl, and this guy. I'm still waiting to see Megs in person before I make up my mind about him.
