Transformers Toy Rumours (must note a source)

Not sure about those two areas jutting out from the sides.

The hinges and panelling on the van mode reminds me of the Classics version.

Some more pictures have popped up, showing that it looks to be exactly the same size as the Deluxe Earthrise Ironhide... so it would be disappointing if it is sold as a Voyager.

If a voyager budget is needed to not have a van mode with goofy feet at the back and partsforming, then so be it.

Yeah, that's what it is. I really don't understand all the griping about it. Those legs and feet are fairly advanced and involved engineering by HasTak standards.

Agreed. It's similar to how Deluxe Class Cliffbumblecap is smaller than a Deluxe, but has clearly above Legends Class level engineering.
These are actually price points after all, not really size classes.

I already have Henkei and Timelines Ironhide, so a new CHUG Ironhide is gonna have to do better than either Siege or Earthrise (both of which I skipped) to convince me to buy it. And I am very tempted to get Studio Series 86 Ironhide! I will happily pay a Voyager price for this toy if that's what it takes.

Do I really want to replace my Earthrise Ironhide and eventually Ratchet? Probably not, but I think this is a good new mould.
