TFPrime Deluxe Ironhide?

[griffin]

Despite the Commander class Ironhide being a pickup truck like Movie Ironhide, could the rumoured Deluxe Ironhide toy just be a redeco of Ratchet? The Deluxe Ratchet's instructions have shown him with a head that looks very dog-like, similar to Movie Ironhide's.

We saw this a fair bit during the last year with DotM and Generations, in that the Hasbro designers were either teasing us with a sneak-peak of an upcoming toy, or the photographer for the instructions only had available the uncoloured prototypes and sometimes gets the wrong one (as the different heads are designed at the same time in recent years).

If not Ironhide, who do you think it is?
Speculate away, and we'll see who guessed correctly if it is eventually released/revealed.

Ooh, nice thread Griff!

I'm with TFW member GetRightRobot on this one, I think it's Sentinel Prime. There's just something about that disapproving facial expression coupled with the bulbous head that screams Sentinel to me. Would be very happy if this were true!

Interesting Idea, though I wonder if ratchets vehicle type would suit ironhide anymore.

also the Ironhide archetype is fairly well covered by bulkhead, so while we might see a toy, I am sceptical that he'll turn up in the series.

Commander Ironhide is a nice way of combining the G1 robot mode with the Movie vehicle mode hybrid. I'd prefer to get that in a bigger size than a Ratchet repaint.

Howabout the Ratchet repaint still be red and black, but be Smolder?

that would be a very accurate adaption, though not a lot of history for that character.

Not a lot for Knock Out either. Hopefully TF:Prime wont just be reruns of G1 names and looks (how boring would that be? Leave that to Generations). We need more new (or newer) looks and names in the mix too.
