Imo looks awesome. :eek:
First Barricade now Ironhide... what are they doing with these heads?
A big nope. The big arm guns don’t seem to be hidden in vehicle mode - they just sort of hang off the side. The feet hanging off the bottom of the back bumper. The size seems out, and the proportions all wrong. Hardly seems like an improvement on the leader class toy.
The feet look like he has three sets of silver truck nuts attached.
That angle looks... erm... awkward. Ironhide, complete with dangly bits.;)Quote:

Really look forward to getting this guy since I have um'd and ah'd for years about getting the leader class figure.
Really doesn't seem like a masterpiece level of effort put into this one...:(
He looks a bit short and fat. But overall, doesn’t seem too bad. Will wait for better pics before final judgment though.
I've been looking for excuses to cut back my collecting and between Barricade and now Ironhde, I've found all I need to confidently not continue with the MPM line.
To me it seems the line peaked with Bumblebee at the beginning and is just sliding downhill from there.
That was my first impression as wellQuote:

Err... reading this back I haven't added much to the conversation - just agreed a lot with all of you :o:p
I quite like it. The 'stumpy' look seems to be more prominent when Ironhide is being photographed from high angles. It isn't so bad when you look at him front-on.
I'm assuming the cannons are detachable - not only would it make sense to have a clean vehicle mode like Bumblebee and Optimus, but they're reversed on that display model. The cannon with the cylinders around the main barrel should be on his right arm.
Yep im just keeping my MPM Bee and if i get a cheaper Barricade i would replace my KO Human Alliance one. Other figs I will stick with my old toys :DQuote:

I really love that they have captured his squat strongman look with the broad shoulders and huge melon head :)
Reminds me of the little Robot Heroes Ironhide.:)
I like these MPM figures from 3 onwards, but I can't justify spending any money on them.:(
I don't really see peoples problem with this toy, it looks more like Movie Ironhide than any previous toy I've seen, if you are in to that, and I
m not sure I am, but the transformations on these things make me curious.
Bot mode looks fine to me, but those guns seriously need to be detachable from tbe vehicle or else that’s a big no for me.
I'm pretty sure the cannons will be removable, besides primes vehicle mode weapon storage is literally sticking off the back of the truck in a not subtle way either. Bumblebee is the only one who had actual integrated weapon storage.
My only gripe about Ironhide was the face which I never noticed was partially damaged, kind of hoping its reversible or theres a symmetrical version.
Pretty happy with the MPM series so far. hoping to at least have the full set of 07 bots. keen to see more cons after barricade
I like his proportions and truck mode is nice and high. I wish they showed it in car mode with Bee AND Optimus.
I dislike his folded arm panels, his feet, and how prominent his toes look in vehicle mode. These things are too inaccurate or lazy for a Masterpiece.
Also, I have not been impressed with the paint jobs on any of these Bay MPs and Ironhide is perhaps the biggest let down. A lot of detail is just plastered over with grey or completely inaccurate.
Like the rest of the Bay MPs, i will wait for a release with a better paintjob (is battle-worn repaints?) or improvements like moving the arm panels to his back.
I wonder if “unifying the brand” has impacted these figures, the Bay MPs just seem a little off.

I'll happily just have his guns separate assuming they can be taken off. The toes sticking out the back of the vehicle mode are a little disappointing but I can live with that.Quote:

Hmm still wondering if those guns are removable in vehicle mode. Dunno why they still show them on the box.
The Toy Fair pics show they do, thankfully.Quote:

HE'S ON AMAZON AUSTRALIA (via amazon us), AMAZON AUSTRALIA JUST GOT COOL
^ Awesome. I'll order him when we get closer.
Oh damn and that's a pretty decent price, less than what TRU were trying to hawk Barricade for!Quote:
