New Images Of ROTF Jungle Attack Ironhide

Design issues. I have the RotF version. I'm not a fan of how the chest is composed of loose components(front halves of the truck, the flip up chest piece) and the torso is kind of empty. The feet have no articulation and aren't able to lock in place when flipped out so they aren't very stable. I can pose the figure but not in the best stances so I usually have Ironhide in alt mode because I think he looks better as a truck.

To each his own I guess, I particularly like the bouncy chest and shoulder pads. As for the feet, yes they don't really lock in place.

Can you say prototype? Probably cast in that gray plastic instead of the translucent plastic it has in those sections.

I don't think it'll matter if the final figure has translucent plastic because I thought Hasbro plans on painting the windowshield over. However, one could always remove the paint with something like isopropyl alcohol if they want.

I wasn't aware of that, and considering all versions of the mold thus far have had the translucent wind shield and windows, I find it an odd move in Hasbro's part to now paint them over.

This can't come out soon enough. I love the weaponry. I just hope he can carry it all in bot mode, in holsters and the like. It looks like all slots into vehicle mode, which is awesome. That was my biggest complaint about Animated: all the weaponry that had no where to go, like the Dinobot's weapons, Prowl's traffic light, etc.

GenZhao at the kotoys thread said that the windshield is supposed to be painted blue. I hope it's a mistake. I like tranluscent windows.

He can carry them all in bot mode but they peg into various points on the body, including the back panel/truck roof. It's really cool. A whole bunch of photos are in the kotoys thread showing off different weapon placements.

I totally agree about the weapons in the TFA toys. At least Swoop's spiked ball and chain weapon could peg into his feet.

I'm considering trying to find the cannons from the 2007 Voyager Ironhide to at least "complete" my RotF Ironhide. If I can get those cannons, I think I may pick up JA Ironhide and truly laden it down with firepower. He'll be a mobile weapons platform.

I jus want 2 add that I think the front grill become part of the crossbow like the bow and string and it jus combine with the cannon that already attach on his left arm.....

Finally, WEAPONS!!!

You could paint him in Dalmatian-cammo and I'd still want to buy him. Okay, maybe not that, but you know what I mean....

The hunting knife thingie seems kind of like an anachronism for a TF, though. Homage to John Rambo, perhaps?

Ah... wow. Early photos of this made me want to forget it existed but now I look at all these additional weapons and it looks like something I would gladly buy!

nice weapons and i really like the zebra patten
although after playin the rotf game, why oh why can't hasbro repaint at least 1 ironhide G1 red like in the game
but bk to this figure, hes a defo pick up as i love this mold and these new weapons are killer
