I voted no since I'm all for cartoon accuracy and the original toys for Ironhide/Ratchet are so far off from the cartoon it's atrocious. Most G1 toys resemble their toon chars but these are frankly put are an abomination and I want the MP's to go for a figure that does these chars justice and be as far removed from their toy origins as possible that said I believe having the sleds would be more pandering to toy accuracy with added partsforming which is what the MP line is trying to steer away from as they did with Magnus.

I'd only accept the sleds as an optional accessory like a gun or missile launcher that isn't required for transformation maybe as an amazon exclusive.

It seems that no matter which direction HasTak takes, they're damned if they do, damned if they don't. Hasbro releases more show accurate colours on their MP10, people complain. Hasbro puts toy accurate colours on MP Soundwave & Rodimus, people complain. Takara Tomy use toon accurate colours on ultra Magnus, and some people still complain. I'm just grateful that these toys exist as MPs, at the end of the day, if you don't like a toy, don't buy it/sell it off!

This is an opening concern, I have seen too many of these comments floating about being G1 and cartoon accuracy.

What TT could do is release both? and let Hasbro decides which one they want.

Frankly speaking, I prefered compromised and realistic. I am not fussed over toon accurate and G1, but dont turn bumblebee into some red car and make me believe that is bumblebee, thats all I am saying.

I went with yes - the platforms have made canon appearances, as Goki has pointed out, and it would be a cool homage to the original Diaclone toys.

I did consider the possibility that having the platforms would take away mass/volume from the robots (I've never owned G1 Ironhide or Ratchet, but looking at online pictures, they're barely bigger than Jazz when standing on the platforms), but another idea could be to make the platforms into gun emplacements on treads that Ironhide and Ratchet man from behind, as opposed to platforms they ride.
