... and while I didn't like the movies, I think being a pickup truck works for Ironhide and fits his character.

Actually, I quite agree. I don't care for Combiner Wars Ironhide at all, which is why I got hold of the Henkei boxset of him, Mirage, and Hound last summer. While the figure is not perfect, it's all right, and the metallic red with yellow highlights looks a lot nicer than the Universe 2.0 version's orangey red. But I really like his vehicle mode. It's not a camper van so much as an SUV. A pickup truck would have been totally acceptable, as it works for the character. But, like I said, not a fan of Combiner Wars Ironhide. In fact, I don't like any of the classic Autobot cars re-imagined as combiners and would much rather get their earlier Universe 2.0/Generations versions. But Ironhide totes works as a pickup.
