Has there ever been a greater case of pre-release doubts being so comprehensively crushed by in-hand production toy as with TakaraTomy’s MP-27 Masterpiece Ironhide? Actually yes, look at Ultra Magnus, Bumblebee etc, so it’s not uncommon for us to get the wrong impression from TakaraTomy’s stock Masterpiece photography. Ironhide’s a very interesting case. As a character he’s huge and unforgettable, voiced originally by the revered Peter Cullen, but it’s almost as if his original Generation 1 Transformers toy being such a disappointment to many cast a shadow decades wide over his associated toys. MP-27 puts those disappointments to bed in comprehensive fashion and takes an impressive shot at becoming the definitive G1 Ironhide toy of our lifetimes.

I love my Ironhide, and yes I had reservations buying him, but hes amazing and now one of my favorites

Really?The best? What about those side panels? The butt wheels? (sarcasm btw) Yup! One of the best releases so far. Right on target Maz!

Well said Maz. He truly is definitive in many ways.

Cheers guys! I am completely enamoured with MP Ironhide, I think it shows

Great, great review, maz. I absolutely love MP Ironhide. And I also don't dislike the original G1 Ironhide, either.

It's not the best but I do like it better than most of the masterpiece cars
