Having seen some official pics, he's definitely mistransformed at the show.
What i would like to see is a picture of him next to Optimus, both in vehicle mode, to see how well they scale. Since the Topkick is quite a large vehicle, even next to Optimus's truck mode. the picture next to Bee makes him seem a bit small.

Maybe ‘Masterpiece Ironhide’ products are cursed.

Yeah I'm hoping that torso is mistransformed cos it doesn't really work as it is there. There's parts of the figure I like a lot and the vehicle mode is nice but yeah I wanna see more pics first. Maybe it was transformed by someone not all that familiar with the CGI model. Cos those hood sections really gotta fold inwards diagonally towards the center.
I prefer the MPM in many ways. Not least cos it managed to get rid of most of the backpack. And also doesn't keep telling you who he is when you're transforming it.

*looks a close look at the vehicle mode and robot mode images, especially the pieces that form the hood*
I got it! They're the same pieces, but the grill pieces have been flipped around. I faintly spot something that looks like a metal rod on his right (image's left) side, plus panel lines are somewhat evident:

Just like the previous year, we have some more news directly from Hasbro regarding their recent reveal of Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-06 Ironhide, as seen at the private event at Royal Pacific Hotel for Hong Kong Toys media, taking place alongside (but not part of) the Hong Kong Toys and Games Fair 2018 (see here for our coverage), and to accompany the initial first official image of the figure.
Sporting his 2007 live-action Paramount movie look, the Autobot weapons specialist now also has a bio, a description of the toy, images of the articulation points, and a release date of Fall 2018 - but no price point at the time of writing. Check it all out below!

I will say the official images look better but I'm still not sold.

He looks a bit better when not doubling over in pain. Severe lack of paint on him though. Those dull gray rotors are... Ew. I know he's got a disfiguring scar across his right eye, but it really doesn't come across on the toy. Looks more like he was left in the sun too long. Kind of wish they'd just given him his concept art head instead.

This might be enough to replace my customized leader Ironhide figure from dotm. The overall accuracy over gimmicks make this look much nicer and the cannons look good to. Truck mode suffers a lot from the cannons though it seems with how the cannons attach. Still seems that under-carriage will be the same regardless but hopefully not as bad as dotm.

I hope those cannons detach. Otherwise he now looks pretty okay in my book, we'll
have to wait and see.

They're probably going under the assumption that toys r us won't be around by the time this guy drops. Or they're just hoping to make more money off of it. Either way it's good news for fans.

TRU's future is pretty uncertain for sure, so they're probably avoiding making claims that may hurt them should the worst come to pass. Plus, it prevents sudden uncertainty that would make any fan's hair stand upright.

I'm sold. Pics show a prototype with a rush-job on the painting (prob to get ready for the exhibition). Finished product will look much better.
Gripes: lack of visible shoulder articulation (not to say there isn't any, just none that I can see with the wheel in the way); bumper-toes (bot kibble in alt mode); jaw movement looks muppet-like
Plusses: real close to cg model, esp the guns; cannons look removable (not sure though); clever use of door panel hinge integrated with cannon in bot mode; metal feet for stability; apparently, there is a grill gimmick that splits the GMC in half in bot mode, but remains a single piece in alt mode; little/no back kibble (alt mode parts fit in well with bot mode).
My poor wallet!

So it looks like his shoulder joints allow outward and backwards motion but not forwards. Wow, that's a piss-poor effort.

No matter how many times I look at that 'face' on Ironhide (or Ratchet, or many of the others), I'm never sure exactly what it is I'm supposed to be seeing. 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.

Hopefully those absolutely miniscule hip joints will be able to support his frickin tree trucks called legs

It looks like on the close up shots of his arms that those door panels on his forearms have disappeared. Have they been photo-shopped out? Or am I missing something?
