FWI-2 Weapons Upgrade for Leader DOTM Ironhide In-Package Shots

Doubt it, it's specifically designed for DOTM Leader Class.

The forearm mounted guns look much better then what's actually on the toy and that sword is pretty damn cool. Might actually get these things if they keep to the $20 charge.

It's easy enough to pop the arm kibble off.

But even if you don't, this will help hide it a bit.

Makes the figure look much more desirable! Good job FWI!

Meh, I'll stick with what I have:

Wow. I'm glad someone posted a 'before' pic. That's a HUGE HUGE HUGE difference. If I collected the movie lines, I'd have to cave and get this. Looks great.

No.... I just can't bring myself to use the Michael Bay explosion emoticon, in spite of how awesome these are. I'd just feel... dirty. Can't wash away... the stain.... water won't go hot enough....

These just look too large for the toy and I don't see how they can be called accurate. Maybe if they were painted or something, they would look better. Nah, I'm happy with Ironhide as-is.

Thanks for helping me out there, LapseOfReason.

I ordered my kit after the restock at RK.com Just got it today. I LOVE it! Yes, the weapons are big, but have you looked at what size they are in the first movie? He's a weapons expert. He SUPPOSED to have huge guns!

Now the swords, that's a different story. Did Ironhide use them at all in any of the 3 movies? If so, I'll utilize them on my fig. If not, I'll just keep them in the box.

BTW, RK did a great job color matching the gray. These parts blend right in. They are heavy and can cause the arms to droop sometimes, but there are some screws holding Ironhide's arms together and you can tighten them a tad to help with that. Just wish the shoulder mount could be tightened.

If the red version of Leader Ironhide makes it to the US, I may have to order a second set!
