Now every time I hear "but Prime" in my head I see the duck lipped pout...

I think Premium Collectables has it up for pre-order. I'm not sure I will bother, I mean it would be nice I suppose but I don't mind it too much. I am also thinking I would have to watch a few videos first. If they didn't make it like that initially wouldn't there be a good reason?

Yeah, AU$45 -- although you get a fiver off if you purchased Ironhide from them. Still, it's nearly half the price of the figure!

Ya it looks good (sans head) but not $40 good. Maybe if it were $20?

Looks like Ironhide is getting a reissue due for for late September, and in lieu of an Asia edition coin, he'll be getting a diecast drill accessory:

Preorder already up at Robot Kingdom, and others no doubt due to follow.

Ironhide still readily available, yet there is a number of figures which are just dying for a reissue. Am I missing something here?

Nice for latecomers who haven't gotten an MP Ironhide yet, otherwise it's an easy pass for me. As neat as this accessory is, I'm not going to buy a second MP Ironhide just to get it.

I see this thing as a regional running change, and running changes have happened in Transformers since the very beginning. <insert.long-winded.explanatory.paragraphs>

The drill should have been an accessory for Diaclone Ironhide... not a reissue. It is a shame cause as Goki said it is a cool accessory, and I would like to have it but its not worth buying a second Ironhide :rolleyes:

Good point. This is pretty much what they did with Wheeljack -- redecoed him as Exhaust and included Wheeljack's Immobiliser and that seems to have worked well (I haven't heard of any reports of Exhaust being a shelfwarmer). But then again, they did include a toy-accurate Tracks gun with MP Road Rage, and she's massively shelfwarming. These Diaclone-based redecos seem to be hit and miss. I think it's a safer bet for TakaraTOMY to do them as limited exclusives (like Tiger Track) rather than mass store release figures. I know that the mass release figures make it much easier and cheaper for fans to get the toys, but on the other hand having these toys end up being dead stock is doing a disservice to the franchise which ultimately doesn't do us any good.

And I personally would like to see a Diaclone coloured Ironhide done as a new character rather than just, "Protect Ironhide." :rolleyes: They need to get Ichikawa Hirofumi back on board to write up new character bios for redecos.

I think the popularity of the base mould can have a huge impact on the Diaclone repaint. Wheeljack is widely regarded as an excellent mould, same with Sideswipe. Track however was very polarizing and received a lot of criticism. Maybe this plays a part.

I would also imagine that Road Rage is a bit of a B-list character as far as non-G1 repaints go. Same with Clampdown.

Shame that wheeljack was excellent mould but TT didn't bother to give the same treatment as what Ratchet is.

Would have been a twister if they include new faces for ironhide.

As much as I love Ironhide like Goki I won't be buying a second one just for an additional accessory.
There's no added value for me.

I'm happy with the Peter Cullen signed version I've got. :)

I wish Road Rage would of come with a flight stand as well
