Alt Mode Images of Studio Series 86 Voyager Ironhide

Posted by william-james88 Aug 4, 2022 at 10:53am CDT 70,362 views
Images of Transformers Studio Series 86 Ironhide's alt mode were posted on the Cybertron 21 Facebook page.
We see the figures from many angles including the front back, side and even under where we can see the gun storage in van mode. This toy is not revealed by Hasbro yet, but it is an upcoming voyager class toy in the Studio Series line. And with us getting Ironhide, a voyager Ratchet will come eventually. Ironhide will not be an exclusive, but we do not know about the eventual Ratchet yet.

I do hope that's just an unfinished version since it's missing Ironhide's traditional yellow stripes.

Ironhide looks good. Though it looks like they're still having trouble getting the plastic, and the paint colors to match...

I love it.... and I hate it.

I had the siege Ironhide. next year, Earthrise happened, and I didn't have room for both, so I replaced the siege one. now here we are with a new better option. :HEADHURTS:

at least I wont have the same issue with the inevitable Ratchet release, since I was never able to snag the amazon set.

I hope so too. The lack of the yellow stripes is a bit jarring. You can see where a stripe should go in the line detail molded into the side panels. The way the legs transform should hide the stripes too, so it shouldn’t be a matter of robot mode accuracy to omit them. I wish that the tailgate window was at least painted, but I can see that being skipped if that area still forms the robot mode feet, which do need to be only red for robot mode screen accuracy. Looking at the back bumper, you can see that the left and right halves weren’t painted the same way. The right side either uses a brighter shade of silver or has more coats of paint compared to the left side. The right side also has much crisper edges. This definitely looks like a test shot for paint applications from the factory.

Still unsure on this.
The good: side windows and wheels.
The bad: mismatched colors and the two clear tabs that end up looking like lights.
The ugly: front of the van is eeeww and those hinge bumps on the sides.

I know this is an unfinished model so I'm sure some things like the lack of stripe and colour matching are going to be fixed (latter kinda, HasTak does sometimes flub it, heh.)
But that's a pretty solid looking van, just a bit funny that it took HasTak this long. Third time's the charm, huh?

I'm guessing the clear tabs on top are most definitely for the Ratchet retool, but I do sincerely hope they're a lot less blatant on the final thing.

Also I just barely noticed the hinges, about the only "real" blemish I can see with the vehicle mode. Even then I can easily ignore them and keep in mind it's a retail toy meant to pull double duty as an action figure to help excuse it.

Overall this is really, really good.
I’m totally in for this figure, even though I was pretty happy with the ER version.
I don’t even really care that much about the van mode, but even the couple things I question or don’t like aren’t concerning.

And again, definitely excited that Ratchet will use this mold.

Van mode is looking pretty good

Thing is, I could never find Siege Ironhide or Ratchet. And considering how badly I disliked the ER versions, I think the SS86 is going to be my best bet.

They won't. Also, we should know by now that we can't see color matching from pictures since the camera lens will pick up different things than our own human eye. In hand it might match better.

Also, kudos to Hasbro for designing a hinge close to where the side mirrors would be so that it looks less out of place.

Fair point, people said the Sunstreaker paint match was pretty bad but having the figure in hand it wasn't really that glaring.

Yeah, great example. And that mismatched looked really bad in pictures.

Still does. Can't believe how it looks good in hands and immediately looks bad in photos. I know why, but still can't believe it

"Transformers Collaborative Postman Pat" would be funny. I remember when Thew Adams had a bootleg transforming figure that became Pat for his Knockoff Beatdown series.

Major improvement. May not be perfect, but definitely a step in the right direction. Well done

Geez, I found Sunstreaker so bad in hand that I passed and feel no remorse.

The yellow stripes are something Reprolabels can fix. The mismatching reds ... I dunno why they can't match reds. It's still better than ER, though.

And a Thomas one, if I recall.

Personally, I find the blue unpainted tab "lights" on the roof more annoying than the side hinges.
