In Hand Images of Transformers Studio Series Ironhide

Looks good though that front bumper still bugs me in robot mode. Are the cannons permanently attached? Looks like they have a bit of truck kibble on them. if that means they conceal inside the truck mode that's probably why. Anyways overall it looks good and I'll be buying it and see what I can do with it (like adding some extra silver paint to make it more resemble the CGI and masterpiece toy).

Jazz's legs be backwards. Gives him bigger feet though. But oddly somehow the wheels are still on the outside? How they do that... I'mma play with mine and have a look.
edit: think they've actually swapped the legs around at the hip balljoints. odd.

Ironhide's belly has a great big smile via that bumper.

Well, this came from literally nowhere. Kinda glad I got sniped from underneath me when I tried to buy a HFTD Ironhide to go with Ratchet.

However, I’m a little concerned that Ironhide will be way too big compared to Ratchet.

Well, he sure does look a good bit shorter than the already tiny Optimus, while Ratchet's a pretty tall Deluxe.

The front bumper in robot mode sucks hard.

Ironhide look great! But I bet he's misstransformed here. Also, why Jazz and not Ratchet here?

Right. As long as he's somewhere in between these two (shorter than Prime, taller than Ratchet) then it's good.

Looks great! That’s a fantastic head sculpt.

I hope ironhide is mistransformed there, because as it is, the proportion looks odd, really reminds me of the FAB mold.

What is up with him having 6 whees in robot mode (2 on each side, shoulder and feet)

It just the bumper thing really. So far, Ironhide look FABulous!

And only the 'fake' ones have paint? Dunno. Not too bothered at moment. Just want to buy it and figure out the toy for myself. I'd like to know if the bumper is at least easily removable for customisation purposes.

The Topkick mode is a little small in relation to Jazz. The Topkick truck was huge in reality.

A bit larger than Ratchets's ambulance Hummer.

Still the robot mode looks quite nice. May have to actively look for him when he's released.

Is he considered Wave 3 of SS?

What else would be in Wave 3?

Sideswipe?

The Twins?

Showckwave?

Soundwave?

Sideways?

Truck Megatron?

That GMC Topkick. So un-necessary, but still so cool.

So..we need a SS "Concept" Camaro to go with the rest of the Transformers 2007 bots. I'm almost in on these. I miss my Movie Premium Ratchet so I may need to get that deluxe just to paint up a little bit. I think I'll have an easier time finding SS Ironhide than I would MPM Ironhide.

I'm really hoping for a new Deluxe Soundwave based off his Human Alliance figure, a new Deluxe version of Barricade, maybe based of/simplified from his Masterpiece, and a new Voyager Sentinel Prime that should basically be a down-scaled version of his Leader toy. Other than that, maybe some new versions of other characters would be nice too. I'd love a ROTF Sideswipe based off of his Deluxe figure. Ironhide looks great BTW. I want to see some news on his Masterpiece though

Think I got confused about the wheels earlier.


So what I thought were silver painted wheels are just extra round bits under those front truck parts in robot mode? And the actual wheels are beneath those? That matches with what the Masterpiece figure does. So that's just one pair of wheels in the torso? And the feet appear to have the other two wheels in them facing downwards like the Deluxe toy does which isn't movie-accurate but understandable for this transformation while the CGI model and MPM figure has those wheels in the upper thighs, and to simulate that, this Studio toy has wheel shapes and details sculpted in those areas





So yeah this figure's making more sense to me now. Still don't get why the front bumper just ends up in the middle and not even able to seperate or fold away but eh, can't have everything. We'll see what we can do there when actually having bought the figure.

I'd love a Sideswipe based on his Sidearms figure as that looked way better to me and had much more stable feet and you could arrange the 'toes and heels' to point backwards so they worked as support stands while still keeping the wheelie look from the front. Plus I I love the transformation of that toy. I'd like to keep the guns too but add his swords (either as seperate pieces or perhaps find some way to turn the back kibble into them. I hated how the original RotF figure did them)

Couple more pics from https://www.facebook.com/Planetiacon.stfu/

Cannons are removable.



Scale looks good to me.(a lil hard to tell cos of perspective, but at least Ratchet & Ironhide are about on the same level and can see Ironhide is a bit taller and bulkier as he should be)



Quite tidy from the side.

I meant his DOTM Deluxe, but now that you mention it, Sidearm Swipe would be a much better choice. I do love thr original ROTF Deluxe though. Anyway, it would be better and more movie accurate if the swords were separate pieces, like SS Prime's. If they could be mounted on his arms the same way, that would be great

Ah ok. I never had the DotM figure and put more priority on getting two Bees, and the two available Wreckers when it came to Deluxe Autobots of that era. I wasn't keen on the look of the car mode being a convertible and not having floorboards. And the dull grey plastic was a bit off putting as I still had the shiny silver Sidearms Swipe at the time. But yeah I hope they get around to Swipey. They've done all the 2007 Autobots now so an RotF character could be next? Who knows?

hm, probably someone at Hasbro actually...
