You can see how they’re pegged on

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

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 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.

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!

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

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

And there's final proof that his guns don't need to stay attached in vehicle mode.

Masterpieces don't have size classes.

Oh, I thought this was part of that movie line Hasbro debuted at ToyFair this weekend.

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
