Ironhide reminds me of a figma. He almost looks like a non-transformable figure. He's nice and sleek with just enough auto bits to look like a transformer. The other MP cars look like they obivously turn into something else with vestigial car parts here and there.
BOOM!!!!!
I finally know what my problem with Ironhide is. Something about him has nagged at me since the first pics were revealed, and once I had him in hand, I didn't feel as if he really fit in on my MP shelf (or won't once it's set back up). I couldn't put the feeling into words, but now I can.
He is too damn clean.
As you said, Cary, he doesn't have the vehicle kibble all the others do. Aside from his chest, almost nothing remains of his alt mode. That's what nagged at me. Now that I've identified the nag, I think I can let it go now.
Avery sexy origamic figma! Engineering at it's best! I wonder how you can categorize him? Shell former? Rubik's rectangular polygonal former?
Just a regular Transformer. Done right.
Awwwwwwww admit it. You suki him ne?
Btw, given how almost near "smoothness" his transformation, doesn't remind you of Vehicon General version 2? If what my impression is on him from the rest of the fandom, also one heck of a desgin (I have the TAV version but haven't freed him yet from his plastic prison)
I am much happier with Ironhide now that I've identified my issue with him. I still think he feels a tad out of place on the MP shelf, but once Ratchet joins him, it should be fine.
Aww don't be ashamed to admit........you've been converted! Praise be to Primus! You really "suki" IH.
Btw, no sarcasm intended as really, IH is one of those really good ones. As you mentioned, Ratchet....what more Ratchet?!
