As promised yesterday, the Hong Kong Toy Fair did indeed have the full reveal from Hasbro of figures from the Transformers Movie Masterpiece line - though it was a private toy media press event at the Royal Pacific Hotel, and not at the Fair itself, and with MPM Bumblebee present as a comparison yardstick - featuring a good look at MPM-5 Barricade (whose thread can be found here) and the newcomer Autobot heavy weapons specialist: MPM-6 Ironhide!

The images and video below are from the same Hobbymizer Facebook page that broke the news yesterday, and we hope you can enjoy taking a look for yourselves, as the new Ironhide is compared to Bumblebee and a previous version (the leader class?) of the movie character. What do you think? Join the discussion in the Energon Pub!

My opinion will be reserved until I have seen more pictures, because right now his chest looks stupid, However it may be mis-transformed as many figures have be cursed with in the history of official images.

I really hope this is mistransformed. Ironhide was my favorite character from the live action series and this just doesn't look good. The back is a mess, the chest is a mess, the head sculpt is terrible and his feet are showing in alt mode. If this is really what we're getting then it is in no way a "masterpiece"

I agree. I'm just glad I only knew about this figure a few days ago so I didn't have time to get my hopes up. This is a very disappointing figure. So much arm kibble. The wheels look like they'll hinder the arms. Oh well, more money for other things.

It looks cool but damn thats one ugly mug.

Its like they took a ninja turtle and smashed his face with a sledgehammer. They definitely took a few liberties with the voyager toys to make him more visually appealing.

Yeesh...reserving my judgement for now, because I'm sure that's mistransformed.

So, what kind of trickery is going on with the GMC logo on the front of the car, versus the shoulders on bot mode? The logo is split on the shoulders, but appears to be 1 single piece on the car.

Yeah, that's what I said as well, if we recall Prime was mistransformed in pictures first.

Bee was also mistransformed pretty badly when we first got pictures. I think this Ironhide's looking fantastic, though! Properly sized cannons, not much kibble in robot mode, and it looks like he has the movable faceplate gimmick like Barricade. Looking forwards to pictures where he's properly transformed!

Looks enough like his movie CG model to me.

This is a hand painted prototype so they probably didn't quite transform it all the way. I like it for the most part, it's just the shoulders that worry me.

So he has an upside down Spartan Helmet as a chest plate.

Thank you I have earned five dollars for each memebers saying mistransformed so far bot mode looks good truck mode sucks with canons staying on his arms I'll pass on ironhide if canons don't detach in truck mode

The official image on the Transformers Facebook page looks a bit better.

He does indeed look better in that official pic, though i'm atill not big on the large panels on his arms, his guns staying attached in vehicle mode, and his toes sticking out from beneath the rear bumper.

So far, so good! My only questions are if he's going to have a mouth gimmick where you can have him talk, and if he's going to have his cannons be removable.

I'm sure the cannons can detach from the truck mode, they're just displaying it like that to show off the weapon storage.

Or, as Ironhide would say it, "It's an option."

Fellow Seibertronian Mr Black has sent us word that Hasbro has released the official stock photo of MPM 06 Movie Masterpiece Ironhide. This was posted on the official Transformers Facebook page along with the words "Ironhide is here and this crafty vet is ready for action". This figure was revealed at the Hong Kong Toy Fair earlier today where he was shown next to other MPM figures, such as prime and Bumblebee. Him being in between the two when it comes to height suggests that his price may be in between the two as well (around the $90 mark). We do not have a release date for this toy.

We have included a render and screenshot of Ironhide's CG model for you to compare with this toy. Do you find his proportions fine? And is that indeed fake vehicle kibble in robot mode when it comes to the grill? This would not be the first time for Ironhide since the Dark of the Moon leader class figure also had that. Are you ok with this type of kibble on a Masterpiece figure? Let us know in the discussion!

Since you showed off a promo render of Ironhide middle pic, I was wondering if the opening mouth will be a potential hint of the use of a mouthplate feature similar to MPM-4.

I'm concerned about the arms. It looks like they will have the same amount of articulation as the DOTM Iornhide. I will reserve my judgements till I see more in hand images with him properly transformed.

Well, that isn't as exciting as I had hoped. Time will tell, I suppose.
