Masterpiece Ironhide

[Smint]

I think his proportions arent as pretty as the datsuns or lambos but i guess thats how ironhide looks in G1.

Also trying to "translate" G1 cartoon Ironhide as an MP level toy is a much harder feat than any other MP.

Seeing these photos leaves me impressed by the engineering going into the transformation - the van transforms into that robot while having barely any visible van parts.

People are complaining about the hip panels, the tyres, and here I am, impressed that there aren't more van parts visible.

Some people just wont be satisfied until Stephen Hawking and the team at CERN produce a toy that not only is 100% cartoon accurate, but also mass shifts to suit scale and is priced at ¥5500 :roll eyes:

Sure, Hasui had some good designs, but he also aped most of the G1 transformations and added his own flair to it. I think that Ironhide turned out fine considering what Hisao had to work with

One important thing I notice the MP Developers strive for is the characters iconic silhouette if you look at his proportions side on they have nailed it perfectly.

+1. I think it looks fantastic! Looking forward to the release.

the front view looks little funny to me, I think it's the position of the arms.

I think it look s fantastic and I love that the show features like arm attachments and flight pack have been worked into the design. Can't wait.

[MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!]

DaimChoc has reposted some test shots.

With two or so weeks to go before release, you'd think there'd be a leaked production figure rather than test shots...

By the way, love the pic with the manky coffee cup!

[ampoldj]

as this is a regular release Hasbro Asia should be having these as early as next week. at this point we should be getting some in hand photos yet we only get test shots

hopefully it wont get delayed since TT has not posted any changes in release date atm.
