In Package Images of Transformers Studio Series Voyager Ironhide

Va'al wrote:Thanks to a tip from fellow Seibertronian Terrsolpix and some further searching for sources, we have some in hand in package images of the next, highly anticipated Voyager figure from the Hasbro (and Takara Tomy) Transformers Studio Series toyline: Ironhide!

You can check out the images below, as found on the RoboRobo - the Singapore based toy store - Facebook and eBay pages, shown alongside Optimus Prime, from both the front and the back of the box. With the Movie Masterpiece also due out shortly, is this something that catches your interest? Let us know in the discussion thread in the Energon Pub!

YEP, do want that. Glad he's being repacked with Optimus too, I can finally not buy multiple voyagers at once! Looks awesome too, the guns look ridiculously well detailed, his head sculpt is fantastic and the paint is great, especially on his head. All we can hope is he holds together well and his arms have a good range of movement, I had a bad experience with the DotM voyager - one of the pins in his shoulder ripped out of the plastic about 5 minutes after opening him.

So Ironhide will be a voyager. VERY interesting.

I'm looking forward the reviews to see how he's actually made.

Ironhide is a Voyager, Ratchet is a Deluxe.
...what?

I bet Ironhide will be a smallish voyager like Optimus. SS is made to be un scale with each others so it may turn out perfect in the end.

Yeah, he's probably a Voyager just so they can make a bulkier bot mode with big guns.

Exactly. It's all about parts count. The good old HFTD deluxe Ironhide is the perfect size in vehicle mode, but the bot is way smaller than SS Ratchet. There's even a picture somewhere in the previous posts that show that.

Anyway, that SS Ironhide is one more SS figure to add to my very short list of SS wants.

Yeah that's what I said weeks ago when speculating on the voyager classing of Ironhide announced.

Anyways this figure looks good from what I can see (though back kibble and that bumper on his waist area looks odd). Looking forward to more photos and especially just to get one in hand and see if fixes what i've hated on every previous voyager Ironhide (the fiddly chest transformation and awkward shoulder articulation).

Also it'll just be nice to have the core 2007 Autobot team all together.

Courtesy of fellow Transformers fan Darren Tan, and the Planet Iacon Facebook page, we have - after the shots of the packaging for the figure earlier today - a full set of images of the Transformers Studio Series Voyager Ironhide figure!

The images show us the weapons specialist in both GMC vehicle and full arm cannoned robot mode, while also giving us comparisons in truck mode with Studio Series deluxe Jazz (as both share the 2007 live action movie designs), and in robot mode with Jazz again and more recently seen Megatron. Check them all out below, and let us know what you think!

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.
