We have heard rumours of an upcoming Ironhide figure in the Transformers Generations Combiner Wars line eventually. Adding fuel to the plastic fire, the in-pack comics that come with Wave 2 deluxes in the line, the Offroad one in particular, shows off an orthographic design for a toy sharing the same mold as the titular character.. but a slightly different head. Check it out below, thanks to chuckdawg1999, and let us know what you think!

That is definitely an Ironhide head.

But for those who don't wanna use the figure as Ironhide, he can be a stand in for a CHUG Micromaster Tote, having been given the same modern day pickup truck updated altmode treatment that Ironhide's gotten in recent years:

Huh, interesting. This means that the pretool scheme the figures have has gotten more interesting. Using Offroad as that example:

- Each mold potentially has two vehicle shells, given Offroad and First Aid.
- Each mold potentially has three pretooled heads, in this case Offroad, First Aid and now Ironhide. Only Wreck-Gar shares that honor with the Junkyard and Scrapheap heads.

Hasbro and TakaraTomy are really planning ahead. Then again, having a line span 2 years you kinda have to.

I totally missed every iteration of the Junkion figures and I am seriously sad about it.

I'm a little more open to the idea of the Autobot cars for Ultra Prime plus I would like a decent ironhide, still not sure if these will be exclusives or if slingshot and Wildrider will be next year

Well, we have:

- Offroad into Ironhide
- potentially Drag Strip for Mirage
- potentially Breakdown for Sunstreaker
- potentially Dead End/Streetwise for Prowl

As we predicted earlier, all Stunticon (p)retools.

Though, somewhere some rumor said that Prowl would be the lambo, possibly making him be the Breakdown retool, leaving Sunstreaker up in the air.

I'm a little disappointed, though not surprised, that they're only changing the heads to make the Autobots out of these. I guess there's not a lot they could do about the bodies since the combiner pegs have to be there.

I'd like that the flipdown chests for Dead End and Breakdown at least be altered to look like the chests of Prowl and Sunstreaker.

I was expecting a new Ironhide figure.

Then you were dearly misinformed.

If it looks good in color, I might get it to replace my old, banged-up Universe (2008) Ironhide. If not, I'm perfectly happy with the old boy, who I love dearly despite his flaws. Just needs a replacement weapon and I can die happy...

Still a better Ironhide than Universe.

I might be inclined to disagree with that, partially. While I wholeheartedly agree with the shortcomings of the Universe Ironhide figure, it still very much resembled Ironhide. Whereas this figure, while likely being a much better figure than Universe in almost every regard, is but a non-Ironhide body with Ironhide's head slapped onto it.

It's definitely gonna be a better toy that Universe Ironhide, but aside from the head, it's just not as Ironhide-y as Universe Ironhide.

Indeed. The Universe 2008 mold gets a lot of hate, but it's a DAMN good looking Classics Ironhide in bot mode. Same goes for Ratchet. There's no getting around that CW Offroad as Ironhide is quite a departure for the classic aesthetics of the character.

Very much torn about the Ultra prime combiner and the associated limbs. I'm hating the over abundance of the repaints in this line but at the same time, the novelty factor of the overall combiner is drawing me in. I might actually even go so far as to buy the whole thing, Huffer included even though I know full well I'm going to bitch about it at the same time I'm admiring the combined form. How messed up is that?
