New colour images of MP Ironhide

I find the jetpack a bit of an odd inclusion too.
I buy MP's for the characters, not the inclusions.

Whilst it's odd and a tad unnecessary imho, I'm not going to complain though.
Can the jetpack be repurposed for use with another MP or does it only connect to Ironhide?

I'd be surprised and very impressed if it was interchangeable, especially if it was interchangeable with Sideswipe.


I really like the idea of Starscreams coming with a Megatron gun.

There certainly seems to be a demand for these one shot accessories though. Some additional ones have been included as exclusives (e.g. Amazon JP, Hasbro Asia) such as Wheeljack's "lunchbox," Lambor's chisel-type piledrivers etc., and there does seem a lot of people who deliberately seek these figures out for these bonus accessories. I ordered a lot of my MPs from Amazon just because it was a cheap option for me, the bonus accessories were only that - a bonus. I'm happy to have them, but I wouldn't be fussed if they weren't included either. Aren't there even third party add on kits for similar one-shot accessories? At any rate, I think that given the specialist collector-centric nature of MPs, it seems to be the appropriate line to include such obscure accessories. Granted they'd probably spend a lot of time sitting in storage for most collectors.

With the declining value of the AUD, I've decided to preorder Ironhide from PC, as at least the AUD price is set. Feels like too much of a lottery with the current exchange. (I'm just hoping that my Amazon pre-ordered MP Tracks & Road Rage won't get too expensive <knock.on.wood> ).

i only want to collect g1 MP.. and I was almost tempted to get g2 bumblebee just because of the jetpack to give to my g1 bumblebee... I'm a sucker for accessories that I'll never use.

I gotta admit, I am liking the little hollows in his fingertips - that's very Ironhide

I'm liking everything at the risk of sounding overly sentimental about this figure I just love the feelings and emotions it conjures up for me.

It's a pretty faithful update of the G1 toy and cartoon character. Which was a pretty awesome feat to pull off actually. You get ole ironhide in all his gruff and tough persona from Saturday morning 1980s TV viewings. You also get that pretty weird but still awesomely cool toy with all its nifty little features and accessories and wot not.

It takes me back to my 8th birthday when I woke up to getting this figure and taking him to primary school that same day for battles in the sandpit at recess.....

Sorry guys, just got lost in my own thoughts there.

Suffice to say this figure has become my most looking forward to collectable this year

DO NOT! apologise for reminiscing about transformers here

I'm probably nearly as keen as you are. I have little attachment to the original toy, but to the character, hells yes.

I just want the figure like it was in the cartoon, I don't care about obscure accessories and would gladly pay les for the figure by itself.

Images of a grey-scale prototype have surfaced, revealing another nod to the original toy (like the weapons base that looks like the toy's weapons unit)... a face in the windshield in vehicle mode, which might not be too visible if the toy has a smoky windshield like the official images that were recently released.
