Huh? Most Wanted? Did I miss something?

ANd BTW, that's the color Jungle Attack Ironhide SHOULD have been.

I think I'm definitely going to get this pack. I only have the original movie Ironhide and the deco plus the Recon Ironhide retooling and weapons make this one really attractive to me. Much better than the original "Offroad" repaint, IMO. Battle-damaged Bonecrusher is meh, but he can find a spot in my collection too.

I was going to consider this, but now its a two pack! nevermind. but i really do like this version of Ironhide, the only version i have is the first off road IH. Oh well, im not too worried about it if i miss it cause the movie stuff and all its repaints is getting old. Need more Classics/henkie/Genline stuff anyway.

That Ironhide looks great, but the set? Scale fail. :-(

No big secret, but the movie Ironhide mold is one of my favorites. I also have a lot of respect for the Bonecrusher even if it is way too small as a deluxe. I will be grabbing this set without question.

I want that Ironhide, but I hate the fact that I'll have to buy that ugly Bonecrusher repaint to get it.

Yeah, what's up with that? The new Speed Stars ironhide is red, and there was a red Legends IH, why no Voyager red?

Maybe we'll get a dlx repaint.

I'd be willing to go halfsies. I already own Recon Ironhide, but lack a Bonecrusher.

Well I missed both these molds when they came out so I may get this even though the colors on Ironhide look to bright

That Ironhide really makes my ROTF one look pretty boring. I might have to ditch it for this one! Also, I missed Bonecrusher way back when!

I agree ! For me, that's the best ever coloring-scheme chosen to Ironhide until now. But Bonecrusher in deluxe size makes me cry ...

Who knows, may one day Takara will release a Movie Master-Piece Leader-sized Bonecrusher. He deserves it ...

I'm hoping for that as well. I'm usually pretty picky about the scale of my TFs. It's unlikely though. Hell, it's luck enough we got a Lead Brawl in 2007!

And Brawl is my favorite Leader-Class figure (together with TF2 Buster Prime) !

I'm also obsessed with scale. It's a pity most huge decepticons like Long-Haul and Demolishor only got Voyager-sized molds. But Hasbro doesn't care at all about scale: Supreme Devastator is a mess (I still like mine, however) and Mixmaster is shorter than Ironhide.

The Mixmaster case makes me crazy. I love the mold and the CGI (really evil looking) and Hasbro could easily have made it some 30% bigger in all dimensions and it would still fit inside the Voyager box.

repaint season is in full swing and as usual i can not resist. want, will have. wife, will hate.

by **Dinobot747** » Fri Sep 17, 2010 5:13 pm

The one thing I don't like about IH is his largely unpainted face

I think it is a total hit too. The colors are well conceived and the execution looks really good. Many of the gray parts have some nice silver appointments now, and it really helps the figure "pop".
