Yeah, I took a couple of pictures like that but they would angle at the proper angle. If you look at the pictures below where I angled his shoulder pads, something just doesn't look right about them. Plus they don't feel right because the shoulders flop around like that. The pads actually snap into place if you lay them down flat so I was a little confused how his shoulder pads were supposed to work. Maybe I was transforming him wrong or something.
While I think Ironhide looks much cooler than Ratchet, the Ratchet toy actually feels more stable. There were several places on Ironhide that I was worried about breaking while transforming it. The piece that connects his torso to his legs (front part of the truck to the back part of the truck) is pretty small ... it could easily be a place where he snaps in half. The doors also seem like they could break easily if too much force is applied. Hopefully bevcause mine is an early production piece, they'll fix the eyes. He has piping in the back of his head but there's nothing on his face to light up. Maybe they painted over his eyes or something.
He just looks weird in that above picture especially when the pieces won't lock into place.
