Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-6 Ironhide To Potentially Be Revealed at HKTDC This Week

Check out the leader class itonhide. That’s a masterpiece to me. No point in wasting more money. Why not do other characters.

As promised yesterday, the Hong Kong Toy Fair did indeed have the full reveal from Hasbro of figures from the Transformers Movie Masterpiece line - with MPM Bumblebee present as a comparison yardstick - featuring a good look at MPM-5 Barricade (whose thread can be found here) and the newcomer Autobot heavy weapons specialist: MPM-6 Ironhide!

The images and video below are from the same Hobbymizer Facebook page that broke the news yesterday, and we hope you can enjoy taking a look for yourselves, as the new Ironhide is compared to Bumblebee and a previous version (the leader class?) of the movie character. What do you think? Join the discussion in the Energon Pub!

I really hope this is mistransformed. Ironhide was my favorite character from the live action series and this just doesn't look good. The back is a mess, the chest is a mess, the head sculpt is terrible and his feet are showing in alt mode. If this is really what we're getting then it is in no way a "masterpiece"

It looks cool but damn thats one ugly mug.

Its like they took a ninja turtle and smashed his face with a sledgehammer. They definitely took a few liberties with the voyager toys to make him more visually appealing.

So, what kind of trickery is going on with the GMC logo on the front of the car, versus the shoulders on bot mode? The logo is split on the shoulders, but appears to be 1 single piece on the car.

Yeah, that's what I said as well, if we recall Prime was mistransformed in pictures first.

Bee was also mistransformed pretty badly when we first got pictures. I think this Ironhide's looking fantastic, though! Properly sized cannons, not much kibble in robot mode, and it looks like he has the movable faceplate gimmick like Barricade. Looking forwards to pictures where he's properly transformed!

This is a hand painted prototype so they probably didn't quite transform it all the way. I like it for the most part, it's just the shoulders that worry me.

Thank you I have earned five dollars for each memebers saying mistransformed so far bot mode looks good truck mode sucks with canons staying on his arms I'll pass on ironhide if canons don't detach in truck mode

He does indeed look better in that official pic, though i'm atill not big on the large panels on his arms, his guns staying attached in vehicle mode, and his toes sticking out from beneath the rear bumper.

I'm sure the cannons can detach from the truck mode, they're just displaying it like that to show off the weapon storage.

Or, as Ironhide would say it, "It's an option."
