HD Images of Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-6 Ironhide

The more I see of him, the more I like him. He's not perfect but he looks good, and the fact he's essentially Voyager sized is nice too.

It's like Ironhide has the power to make every photo of his face go out of focus on purpose. I've never been a big fan of the bayverse look, especially with the toys. For all the detail and complexity, they still somehow convey the impression that the designers gave up half way through the design process.

to me he looks like a robot pig wearing a helmet winking

If you remove the last three sentences, I would have mistaken you for talking about...whatever these are supposed to be.

Seriously, you would not think twice about this figure if you have the leader class one. Leader ironhide makes this mpm ironhide, looks like a waste of money. I️ prob won’t even buy it fir a voyager price. Sheeshhh. Get this garbage out of here. Stop calling it a masterpiece.

@quantum surge. It’s called a transformer (from the 80s). And it was retailed for about $8.00, not like mom at minimum st $100.

But DOTM Leader Class Ironhide looks like absolute trash.

I find DOTM Leader Ironhide frustrating, and I looked forward to him the most at the time. The weapons are too puny, the hip's ratchet joints aren't like other ratchet joints on Leader figures, the feet make it hard to stand on, and most copies have a joint at the neck; it's glued in place.

I've the Leader Class Ironhide from RTF: the ultimate Ironhide in my opinion.

I hate the cannons to stay clearly visible on the arms, specially in the alt mode: the leader class ROTF could retract them in the forearms and eject even in the alt mode.

ROTF toy line was the best ever for Movie series... maybe too difficult for kids to convert but they were all masterpieces.

My sister owns the DotM Leader Ironhide, and I've messed around with it some, and I can agree that while the mold is good, this looks better. The colors are off on the leader, I don' really like how the arms work with them being so big and the cannons flipping out, and the legs are difficult in bot mode. He's good, but he needed to be smaller. And I am satisfied with how this guy is going to turn out

@Prymstriker. Leader dotm looks awesome. Personally, I️ think that’s one of the best looking toy in the series. Looks badass. Sorry I️ like my toys bulky and intimidating.

Yeah, no. His colors are way off, too much ugly factory blue, the weapons are small and look like they were molded in Minecraft, he's far too long proportionally making him look way thinner than his onscreen counterpart...basically everything everyone else complained about above. This looks far more screen accurate, it's not even comparable.

Here's a comparison with the MPM and the DOTM leader next to the CGI model. I think this Ironhide MPM looks freaking incredible, can't wait to get it.

You can spend $100 on the thing. I’m cool. I️ like my toys leader class.

President-prime wrote:You can spend $100 on the thing. I’m cool. I️ like my toys leader class.

Nah, I'm not gonna dump $100 on a design I'm not even that crazy about. I'm just saying this is screen accurate and DOTM Leader Ironhide is a miserable piece of work.

I think he looks awesome, but yeah I also agree with the opinion that is he really not up to Masterpiece standards. But in the defense of the figure, it can't be easy making a CGI design into a plastic model that has to also transform. I do wish that the feet was hidden on vehicle mode, that would be my biggest gripe with the figure, that and the cannons...I really hope they are removable.

Some of the criticisms of this masterpiece are mind boggling. The only criticism should be the height as he should be much taller compared to bumblebee. Whether hastak made a mess of the scale of Ironhide or Bee and barricade remains to be seen especially considering that mpm Prime is pretty much leader sized so bee and barricade should've been deluxe sized.

I can't understand the opinion that the leader is better. It's not. I'm a huge fan of Ironhide and although the leader is a great scale in truck and bot mode that's where the superiority stops. The arm canons are terrible that are saved by a third party company. The blue on him is inaccurate as is the mouth plate that never appeared in the movies. The leader simply has many limitations whereas this does not.

I will buy the Hasbro and takara version because I think takara will fill in some smaller paint details like his chin cylinders being black iirc.

For everyone wondering what Ironhide's head is based on it's based on a bull face wearing a cowboy hat.

Yeah, I don't get where this love for the leader is coming from. He's too thin, his cannons are too small, he has gimmicks that don't make any sense like that stupid faceplate, and he's out of scale with the other figures from the movie lines (WAY too tall, although he might work with something like the Human Alliance figures that are also bigger).



He looks better with the FWI-2 3rd party cannons you could get, but that doesn't fix all his other problems, or those blue legs. He shouldn't be as tall as OP and Megatron.

This looks like a much more screen-accurate release, and it's in-scale with RotF Leader OP and the MPM OP. We don't have a price-point yet, but Leader Ironhide is going for $80 used on Ebay at this point anyway (WITHOUT the 3rd part stuff), I doubt it will be THAT expensive.

Robot Kingdom seems to be the first site offering a preorder for Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-6 Ironhide. We do get new details from this listing including a more specific release date and a price.

The release date given is July 1st, 2018. This does fit with the Fall release given by Hasbro since Hasbro usually refers to when we would see a product on the shelves. Robot Kingdom has the toy at $109, but as the title of this article states, this clues us in more on the price point, and is not necessarily the price the toy will be on shelves in America.

This is the same price MPM Optimus Prime goes for on the same site, meaning that MPM Ironhide would probably be sold at the same $100 price Optimus Prime was at Toysrus. Unlike previous MPM releases, Ironhide has not been said to be retailer exclusive and will also be available on Hasbro Toy Shop.

If only the weapons detached for truck mode.

That's why I'm stickin' with my Leader 'Hide and the Fans Want It cannons.

Good lord, I hope that's the wrong price. I was expecting $70-$80 dollar range at worst. He's a little taller than MPM Bumblebee and a fair bit smaller than MPM Prime, no way he's worth the same price as Prime is.

What Ironhide lacks in height he makes up for in girth thanks to his thick legs and wide shoulders. I'm not surprised he might cost the same as Prime.

Emerje

Unlike Bee and Barricade, this is a guy where I am going to wait for him to come to HTS. HTS will probably actually sell him for the $100 mark instead of the $140ish mark online stores will (RK included once you include the high shipping). Bee and Barricade are OK since I will probably never see them in stores and I don't mind the extra $20 too much, more like $15 after taxes if I saw them in stores. I wasn't planning to spend $140 on Optimus, but then I found him in TRU for $100, so I lept. Good call that I didn't pay $140.

Point it, this time HTS will be my go to gal. And with as thick as he is, he probably is about Prime's heft

When it comes to his price vs Prime's, its important to remember that girth counts as much as length.

I knew somebody would go there. But it's true, just look at Titan Trypticon, he may be shorter than the other city Titans, but it's hard to argue that you're getting just as much figure.

So I guess we can start crossing off other stores that might be getting Ironhide as an exclusive. Most are hitting the $135 to $140 mark so this may be solely a HTS exclusive after all (if TRU really isn't getting it). I just hope HTS stocks more of him than they do other stuff in their store if they're the only place we can get them cheap.

We've seen the cannons on different sides of the truck mode, I'm very sure the cannons are removable for truck mode.

Weibo source, TF-Factory has uploaded images of Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-6 Ironhide's box, featuring the back and the front. The back shows the similar images Hasbro already shared with us which feature the gimmicks, like the face plate. As with the previous MPM releases of 2017, the package features both the Hasbro and Takara logo. This toy is planned to come out in the mid-summer/fall window for a price point similar to MPM Optimus Prime's and will be available at Hasbro Toy Shop, among other retailers.

Below are the images of the packaging along with the official product description from Hasbro.

Transformers Masterpiece Movie Series Ironhide MPM-6

The Masterpiece Movie Series IRONHIDE MPM-6 figure is perfect for fans and collectors alike, with features inspired by the explosive 2007 Transformers live action movie. The figure showcases the practical AUTOBOT Weapons Specialist with impressive attention to detail.

Converts from robot to GMC Heavy Duty Topkick 6500 4x4 Crew Cab Edition mode in 45 steps. Available at most major retailers and on HasbroToyShop.com.

So do we have official confirmation that his cannons can come off? It concerns me that we haven't seen a single picture (to my knowledge) with the cannons off.

Doesn't mean they can come off though. They could be pinned on instead of plugging in or clipping on. I guess my big question is, if they really can come off then why are they included in the stock image of the truck mode. No other Masterpiece has done that. Bot mode yes, alt mode no.

Because they’d popped out in the movie when’s he was driving toward Brawl. I don’t know dude but they look like they clip or peg on because there are two folded panels between the cannons and the actual arms

And those panels make up the doors of the truck, which the cannons appear to be attached to the bottom of. I'm not saying it's a definite sign they don't come off but like I said every single other Masterpiece figure has a normal alt mode depicted on the box, both g1 and movie so it seems odd to do it for one guy based on one scene in the first movie.

It still happened in the movie even for a second. No one else did anything like that till bumblebee in Dark of the Moon and the MP for him and Optimus are based on 2007 version.

Even if they don’t oh well. It’s not like anyone will be displaying him in alt mode at all. You turn MP figures into their vehicle mode then back robot mode and they pretty much stay in robot bode

That's not true at all. Most of my vehicle MP's spend a significant amount of time in alt mode and I know there actually are a lot of alt mode displayers out there. If this was literally any other line but Masterpiece I would agree with your "oh well" attitude. Masterpieces should be held to the highest standard. I'm lenient on A LOT of things when it comes to Transformers, probably more so than a majority of people on here, but masterpieces are different.

Yeah but at the end of the day my mentality is who ya showing off to but yourself. That’s just how I look at it. I don’t post my collection it’s just me and I only collect CHUG but I got plenty of movie figures repurposed as other characters for the sake of it. They more than likely do come off and all the promo stuff is just to show how cool it is or you can keep them on in altmode and transform him with them attached. The closer he’s released the sooner you’ll see more stuff for him and eventually in a month or two(Probaly toy fair) you’ll see people handling it. He was just revealed and there will be plenty more pictures

I bet they do come off. It's a licensed carmode after all. Remember Sunstreaker, they had to incorporate the non-pimp mode to get it fully licensed.

I just want to point out that the product description lists "two cannon accessories" which would indicate they're removable despite what we've seen in displays and on the box. Though, that doesn't mean Hasbro didn't change their mind and make them permanently affixed after they wrote that and forgot to make the edit.

Whether you can remove the cannons or not, I really am looking forward to Ironhide. He actually seems to be the most stable of the movie MPs, or at least the one that will be the most solid in physical terms.

Plus he looks gorgeous

There's still a few things to cover at Hasbro's display at this year's New York Toy Fair, one of them the upcoming Movie Masterpiece Ironhide! While one of the less exciting things on display there, as we've seen quite a bit of him over the past couple of months, it's still worth sharing some additional photos of him! Especially since this is one of the first times we can confirm his cannons do come off, one of the main issues people had with the figure! Check out some of our preliminary photos down below, and expect our full galleries of this figure (and all the other figures on display at NYTF) later today! Talk in the Energon Pub Forums below and tell us if you'd be interested in picking up this figure, or if he doesn't quite meet your expectations!

I knew the cannons came off, otherwise they would not be able to get it properly licensed. Same reason why Takara had to engineer MP Sunstreaker with a normal non-powered up Countach mode.

Then again, GM is a sponsor of the franchise. I am sure they would not be as strict as Lamborghini, but good point.

Another of the figures on display in the Hasbro showroom over in New York City in occasion of the Toy Fair 2018 was the collaboration effort between Hasbro and Takara Tomy on the Movie Masterpiece line - in fact, the sixth figure in the series: MPM-6 Ironhide!

We've seen preliminary images just earlier, but our new gallery shows some more to the weapons specialist, with a sneaky apperance from Decepticon Barricade, too. Check out a preview below of this GMC licensed alt-mode sporting Autobot, remember his vicious and sad demise in the Paramount live-action movie series, and join the conversation in the Energon Pub!

It's hard to be sure, but is Ironhide going to be a Mega, or a Deluxe?

It's a bit confusing, two Movie spin-off lines happening at the same time, but here's the general gist:

Studio Series
- Part of Generations
- styled like the Premium Series of TLK, or the Generations line from AoE, down to featuring retools from those and earlier Movie lines.
- 3 Size Classes: Deluxe, Voyager, Leader

Movie Masterpiece
- spin-off of Masterpiece
- Movie-accurate styling
- Bot mode in scale with each other
