With Takara Tomy's MP- 27 Masterpiece Ironhide release yesterday, Collectors all over the world will get their hands on him soon enough. Until then Check out Youtube reviewer OptimusPrimeSG's review of MP-27 and let us know if you'll be picking this one up in the Seibertron.com Forums here.

Well, I'm still not in love with this figure, but having watched the video, I'm warming to him. Maybe I will get him, it is Ironhide after all.

Do it!! I think he is going to be really good. can't remember a masterpiece receiving so much hate before.

Go check the MP Hot Rod thread.

They're 13 hours ahead right? I would expect to get a notice by Sunday night.

He looks supafly. BBTS has him as paid and now I can't wait to see the big guy ship. I too don't get the dislike.

Haters gonna hate, lovers gonna love.

Good ole Chappelle's Show. It left us too soon.

Also, yeah. I pre-bought both (Hot Rodimus and Ironhide/Ratchet), and I feel like only a few of us like them. I don't think that has happened before. I wish we could do a show of hands.

Fire up the poll!!

[Ironhidensh]

Meh, I went on and bought him. He should be here Friday, from HLJ. 80 bucks shipped. That's 6 bucks cheaper than the lowest price I saw on ebay.

[DecepticonFinishline]

*something inappropriately sexual about how much I love that Transformation*

Seriously, this is easily in the top 3 for most fascinating transformation. If only it was Ratchet... Soon..

The transformation is Masteriffic! Anyone not calling this masterpiece needs their doubtacles checked! Imagine, from a Twinkie shaped vehicle to a big @ss 'bot? Btw, should MP IH be considered a shell former?

[El Duque]

Just pulled the trigger on this guy. To be honest I'm still not in love with him, I absolutely HATE the hip kibble, and I'm not entirely happy with how he looks from the side. Maybe he will really "wow" me once I have him in-hand.

[Ravage XK]

Wow, well done Takara. Done a wonderful job on Ironhide. Wasn't expecting him to have such a complicated transformation, lots of nice touches in there.

[wilcosu35]

Mine shipped this morning from HLJ. He's on the slow/cheap post though, no telling when he'll arrive.

[xMXUx]

I just realized that Ironhides vehicle mode doesn't have any rear view mirrors.
This is a first, right? Or am I missing something?

[MaverickPrime]

Reading how everyone praises the transformation, I don't know if I wanna spoil it with the video, I plan on getting the mold, but as Ratchet as I'm on a limited budget and Ratchet is one of my favorite charaters.

My feelings exactly. I really like the Voodoo take on Ironhide, but not the price. I fell in love with Tracks after he was in my mits, here's hoping history repeats.

I found the price difference between snail mail and 5 day FedEx from HLJ to only be about five bucks for me. Well worth it. Location matters though, I suppose.

Someone modded it.

Honestly - it looks like a simple fix and one that we shouldn't have to do on a Masterpiece, especially when it fixes so many of the terrible aesthetic choices made

That fixes ALL of my issues with Ironhide. It makes me angrier when all it really takes is a simple fix like this.

[triKlops]

Got my shipping notice for him today.
Should be a week and change before he arrives.
Interested in forming in hand opinion after seeing all of the speculation.

Wait, does that mod require cutting or what?

Where did the hip panels go? Or were they just yanked off and tossed aside?

It appears that it's just mistransformed. As soon as someone can confirm this though, I think it's front page material.

[shajaki]

I've been searching, and while I haven't found the mod yay/nay answer I have found another panel-less Ironhide. And this one is deffinitly modded, leaving me to believe that the first one we saw is a mod as well.

[Cobotron]

Took me a long time to find it too.


I'm guessing that little white bar is a 3D printed fan made mod bit.

They're attached to the chest, in his armpits

[Cobotron]

Well that's no fun. Probably what most these vans look like that are left in the real world.

[Emerje]

Do it!! I think he is going to be really good. can't remember a masterpiece receiving so much hate before.

I think MP-03 Starscream is still the reigning champ there. Between the green paint and hip kibble that one had far more haters than anything since. Well, maybe MP-04, but at least that one looked like Megatron to an extent.

They're snapped/glued back onto the front sides by the looks of it.
