Great responses overall but the reply to the 5th Seibertron question sounds like that of a Politician trying to dodge the intend of the question.

4.) Why the baby blue for Universe 2.0 Ironhide's face? It was originally silver, which was correct. It changed from proto to production to baby-blue. Ironically Robot Heroes Ironhide came out at the same time, he had the correct silver face. Why the difference?

4) It's supposed to be silver. When I last saw the final paint on the figure it was silver. But somehow in the development process, someone somewhere picked up a blue brush instead of the silver one. We are currently making a "running change" on the face so future Ironhides will
be correct.

Heh heh, I can see the completists trying to somehow track down the different coloured faced Ironhides, since they are packaged in vehicle mode.
Or more importantly, those of us who prefer one coloured face over the other, trying desperately to find the 'correct' silver face...

It's on the release schedule somewhere, so as long as Animated doesn't come to a sudden axing, you should see it released before the movie next year.

The answer to the second IDW question is bull.

Cyclonus has already been confirmed to have that dodgy 'missing paint' finish in the final product.

i wonder how we can seriously differentiate that unless they stick a sticker saying "SILVER FACE"

Simple, get Henkei.

Confirmed? Like the packaging mock-up? Brawn has since been seen with black wheels, which contradicts it's packaging mock-up.

Some running changes in the past have been noticeable by the numbers imprinted on the boxes.

Yes as Griffin says about Cyclonus... where was the confirmation of "that dodgy 'missing paint' finish in the final product"?
