TakaraTomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-27 Ironhide Proto-Type Video Review

Don't ask me why, but that not great quality video in a language I don't know, FOR SOME reason makes me feel good about this figure.

Unless some design flaws show up, I feel this will be just like BB. Once in hand, will end up looking/playing awesome.

If there is a god, there must be a demon, if there is the chojin, there too must be kyu.......... Every individual has it role in the cosmos

Like Tracks/Roadrage mold, aside from the neck locking or lack of it and the backpack wings clearance, UM with no waist twisty/central robot etc etc, no MP is almost perfect.

nevermind lol

Hooray! Ironhide and Ratchet are gonna be great

Also, 60 frames per second (think of it as 60 pictures per second) x 60 seconds per minute x 25 minutes and 2 seconds x 1000 words per picture = 90,120,000 words!!!

That looks awesome.

Greetings fellow Seibertronians, tonight we bring you the first in-box, out-of-box, hot off the line TakaraTomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-27 Ironhide! Thanks to T3-Hobby Store and Fenrir of our Energon Pub, we get to see the old timer in all his Masterpiece'y glory. This all makes sense since he's set to be released this month some time, so wait for your pre-orders to start rolling in. There's some great shots of him in both modes, and next to his MP bretheren below. Have a look, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

God, that hip-kibble is atrocious....I wouldn't mind, but the design team can do so much better.

Is Ironhide slightly mistransformed in these pictures. It looks like his lower bumper is pushed in more than the stock art shows, and I think it looks better!

I'm going to get this figure eventually, but my wish is that the bumper/windshield had been two pieces so that it could be somewhat flat on his chest and cover up the diaper a little, so it would be less obvious, which I think the mistransformation almost pulls off.

"Your days are numbered now, Decepti-creeps!"

As much as I'd like to have Ironhide & Ratchet, I just can't accept these molds as definitive versions. A simple Google search for "3rd party Ratchet/Ironhide" shows some far superior designs. Has/Tak have got to seriously question their standards when 3rd party companies start making better versions of their own characters.

Maybe some people don't mind this design and would rather have an official one and support the company that created those characters instead of buying from someone whose infringing on another's intellectual property and slapping a reprolabel symbol on it after word.

That's basically why i'm getting this one. I'm not against 3rd party stuff, but in the case of Masterpieces i will always buy official figures when i have the choice.

Ditto!

If given the choice between tofu steak and Kobe/Angus steak, I'd take the latter anytime!

The diaper doesn't bother me. Though his arms are a bit short and the hip kibble bothers me more than it should. I hope you can pop off the hip flaps. I'll get him. I think when compared to 3rd party companies he is better than most. And it looks like Takara is learning from the 3rd parties by adding a ton of extras which is awesome.
