I agree with STL and jaydisc with this one.

Besides the mentioned gimmicks, I'm really adoring the action figure feel of the robot mode. The missile launcher and dagger stored on the lower legs are great for playability and gives Ironhide a full arsenal of offensive weaponry (weapons on arms, legs and torso).

The alt mode looks excellent with all panels creating a solid frame in all angles of this vehicle mode. Working the guns for the roof and arms is a stroke of genius, ditto with using the smoke stacks as the lever.

Conversion is pretty easy for a Leader but by no means boring or unworthy., with special props for engineering the arm conversion to the dev team.

If I was to critcize this figure, it will have to be the kibble under the arm, back and also the robot kibble visible underneath the truck. Otherwise I'm in love with this figure.
