Tokyo Toy Show 2015 - MP Ironhide Unveiled

Nice all hail g1 masterpiece...

Looks cool. Im not into MP though. Sucks for those 3rd party guys that recently announced an MP Ironhide.

This is going to sound dumb but it mighg just be me but its hard to not hate that leg section with that paneling kibble otherwise its great as is but i seriously hope they change that

Lets see accessorywise he as a LOT which is takara/hasbro's excuse to why he will most likely cost 80$ as wver just like bumblebee GIVE IT MORE ACCESSORIES THEB WE CAN CHARGE IT 80$

He looks nice but he also looks a little ... plain? Perhaps it's an early stage shot and they haven't added detailing?

ARRRNNNHAAAADDDEEEE!!!

Why does it suck for them, Takara is the main company allowed to make an MP Ironhide. This is a risk 3p companies take all the time.

I believe they also teased Masterpiece Optimus Primal (Or "Gorilla Convoy") in their presentation. I don't think they showed Robot mode, but the Beast mode was spot-on with the 3D Animation model.

Who else already came with that small pistol? Bee?

I'm really into MPs! Do I have to anounce it everytime I post?

Btw, now what would the bellyachers complain about? Oh, where's that sled thingie he got in the G1 version?

This one is going to be cheaper than the 3rd party obviously.........can't wait for Ratchet too!

I don't know if my tears are from joy or that I bought a new car 3 weeks ago and this is hands down the most expensive year I have ever seen for this hobby and I've been around since year 1.

You think he will even come out this year?
Road Rage is slotted for October, so I guess there's still 2 months left in this year for them to squeeze him out.

I wouldnt bet on it, MP Magnus remained plain till the very end.

You never know. We just saw the very first in hand pics of that new leader takara prime yesterday and he is coming out next month (and he<s sold out ).

Magnus snuck in just under the wire in '14, and that's a painted copy, not a gray prototype. My wallet knows no mercy

Good thing the year ends with the season of giving.

Thanks mate, you want my address so you can send me a MP Ironhide or have you already stalked me and know it?

Looks really nice, very plain, but that's how he looked in toy form and the cartoon. However, there's something strikingly beautiful in his sleek and smooth design; just a nice representation of the character.

NO!
It's my turn to be on top.

oh yes, i want it. gimme that ironhide

Well........ Damn. I was hoping to avoid the Battle Station part. That's a bit of a let down (for me). Still getting it, and (especially) the inevitable Ratchet.

I estimate this is for 2016. October is already for Roadrage, and a whole lot of Titans.

Yes! Ironhide! It was about time he got a proper toy!

And they even included all those accessories, he was like a Swiss Army knife on the show.

He actually fits inside MP-10's trailer, too.

Was it stated that it's part of the van and not another accessory?

Hah, my MP-wishlist from 2013 is almost complete. Bring on MP-Megatron!

More pix from the web (some are just sharper) --

He's BIG!

If it's not part of his van like the original, that would be an odd departure. Not to mention, his legs would have a lot more kibble if they were hiding his entire rear section.

So the "sled" is also included? NICE! No rubber treads I assume?

ratchet and ironed were the only toys i never lusted over as a kid. I recall seeing them in the shop window and was confused and almost shocked. I had got wheel jack that time...

I have the generations versions which in spite of their panel puzzle former look were somewhat adequate but a C+ nonetheless.

Prime ratchet I liked too.

This though like UM blows everything out of the water. Maybe the hip panels are a bit distracting like magnus' but flap but i can live with them. It even comes with a sled!

If i were mega rich I'd buy 10 of these guys to display him in his own case with each set of accessories! i mean the hollowed out fingertips! DAMN!

Hi all.

Yes! Finally a proper version of Ironhide.
And I just fixed the head of my generations version. That took me some time..

So after Tracks it's Ironhide. Next one on my list is JAZZ... Common who doesn't want a MP JAZZ?

Ba wip granaa wip ninny ban

UM butt flap IS anime accurate though.

is it? got any screenshots cos i don't recall it and couldn't find anything.... Even if it were just playing with the toy makes me feel they could've just added one more hinge to make it fold

ironhide's hip panels aren't anime accurate tho are they? I'm not complaining cos i already love this toy. Like when mp wheel jack came out i knew i had to start collecting mp's again after skipping a few.

Prime ratchet I liked too.

My early entrance to Transformers was the Marvel Comic. Therefore Ratchet always had a special place near my heart.. I LOOOOOOVE that original story where the 'non-combatant' vs. Megatron... and has to track down and wake up the Dinobots for backup.

Still my favorite origin for them...

Never wanted the original toy though... that was rubbish.

Gotta say I'm kind of excited about this. I'll probably get him and unless the price is really reasonable, skip Ratchet. I do have the Igear version already bought after all.. and it'll be kind of cool to see an Ironhide and Ratchet that are 'almost' the same... but different molds.

Help appease the whole 'G1 purist' AND 'hate buying repaints' aspects of myself

It's in the MP UM thread

Reference to the model sheets used in the 1986 show. Same with IH.

Yeah I was looking forward to not having the battle station, which was never in the show...I always disliked that part of the G1 toy...although I hated his head or lack there of more than the battle station

This guy is looking awesome!

Edit:I am wondering if he will look like Kup's alt mode without the battlestation attached Upon further inspection it looks like the battle station part is completely seperate from the vehicle??? I would be totally ok with that

Will be nice to see some more close up shots and a back side picture of his bot mode.

CAN'T WAIT!


Although I think I will also get the 3P offerings to have and compare...

The battle station (sled) on this toy is much slimmer than on the g1 toy and thus I think it is only formed by the thin roof of the van. Those seem to be the same piece although nothing is confirmed yet.

EDIT:

On second thought, this image of all his acessories does show the sled as a different piece. Pretty awesome:

Not bad. But I'm really hoping they do an MP Galvatron at some point.

Perfect. Its crazy that the first glimpse is a finished color prototype

Daim Choc:

Takara MP-27 Iron's side hip panels are on a hinge and can be rotated to the back. Just that it won't rest flat on his butt.

EDIT: The Sled is not part of the transformation. It's an extra piece to store weapons.

Can you guys tell if the front windshield is painted or clear? I wold preffer it being a clear plastic blue.

I think it's translucent. Look under his forearm, second pic from the left, 2nd row --

Lol ok side-Burn sorry i couldn't help myseld XD

Ok, so now I've had time to sleep on this and objectively look at this...and it's still friggin' AWESOME! I would expect the announcement for Ratchet to be made in the next month or so, and then the question is, who will be MP-29? I'd love to see Jazz, but I think I'd even be happier for Sunstreaker, red Sunstreaker and police Sunstreaker. BTW, has anybody seen the expected price for Ironhide yet? This is a new size point for the MP line, so I'd expect around $90-$100?

It looks exactly like Exhaust's blue plastic to me, which is awesome

Sorry to post 3 in a row, but anybody remember how the early MPs had a clue to who the next one would be? The extra panel on Ironhide shows the scene from SOS Dinobots when the triceratops fossils are found. So....

I'd be totally smitten with this release if only he didn't have those red panels on his hips. Minor complaint.
Major complaint, his legs look like they have some really weird articulation issues. All the pics that have him in an action pose have the legs oddly contorted. Like a joint has been omitted from the design or something.
Of course i'll just need to wait to see more.

Thanks to Youtuber masainjapan2008 we have a video of TakaraTomy's presentation at the 2015 Tokyo Toy Show! It features Our first glimpse of Masterpiece MP-27 Ironhide, MP(#?) Beast Convoy/Optimus Primal, Unite Warriors Devastator, and Transformers Adventure. Of course its in Japanese, but we can still appreciate it for what it is. See the video below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

In some poses he looks very awkward
