I got it off eBay. The Starscream and Optimus Prime preview figures are due in stores the first week of May. The first wave of the regular movie figures are due in stores the first week of June.

Not happy about his face, but since Energon, he's alright.... I guess. He's still isn't in my must have list, but I'm more interested in Blackout or the police car, or In Weckage.

Thanks for the instruction pictures, Ryan. Very nice touch!

I've had it for a few weeks and I can say he's my favorite Transformer ever... that is, until I receive Leader Prime.

Um, those shoulder pads are DEFINITELY supposed to be angled up, not flat.

With this guy coming out I don't feel bad selling my Alternator Nemesis Prime. I can make some decent cash on NP & get this guy for $20.00 or less when he goes on clearance.

Just as with Energon, I suppose.

He doesn't look as bulky as Ratchet, but still very nice.

Besides Blackout (which I already have) Ironhide is one of the ones I really anticipate on picking up when they get released.

It's just you.
There's a symbol molded into the back end of the truck, as seen in this pic.

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.

Ironhide and Ratchet are the only Movie Toy's I am mostly waiting for, other then Prime, But I'm not gonna get him so quickly. Anywho Ironhide has one of the best Form's out of all the transformers, also he looks pretty damn decent in robot mode.

by **Maldroth** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 9:37 am

Ironhide has been added to my rather small list of Movie Transformers I'll get.

Don't know all the heads seem out of place like stuck on a perfectly good figure. Blackout is a perfect example, just doesn't seem like it belongs there.

by **Vile MK III** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 10:28 am

O.O... Cool. Maybe if he had a different head he could be Alt. Trailbreaker.

Best.

Ironhide.

Ever.

I think Hasbro did an outstanding job making this toy look like his movie counterpart, alot more than Ratchet and some of the other figures (Bumblebee, Barricade etc.). He has a great looking bot mode, and that black pick-up just screams Ironhide to me... can't wait to get my paws on one!

by **jonusjaxon** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 11:17 am

Wow! That is a great figure. I really don't need to be spending money on toys, though. But, man that's awesome. Thanks for putting up the gallery.

News Credits: 8 · by **Megatron Wolf** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 11:23 am

Im buying 2 and painting one red. And calling the black one trailbreaker.

Every once in a while, someone does something really really cool. This is one of these times! Cheers Ryan! You are truely a god amongst men! Yet another fantastic gallery of another fantastic toy! I'll definately be getting Ironhide, even if all the other toys suck! Only question now is: will the Takara version be any better? Will I put my faith and money in Hasbro for once? Watch this space...
