Masterpiece Ironhide

[drifand]

I think that it may also be because TakaraTOMY are aiming for cartoon-likeness in the colours which is why we're unlikely to get metallic coloured paints or plastics like we saw in Car Robot or Alternity.

Which means it doesn't need to be metallic. So don't make sense either.
The finish is pretty dull, even if is painted Trent already thought is plastic so was I.

Bubble or not, skipping on paint apps is poor, is an excuse for not painting and you are bluffing yourself in saying there are QC issue when all the other cars were great.

Again look at all your other mp cars and admire how well done they are.

If ratchet is bare white, prowl will out shine in colour no doubt and I be forced to do my own custom paint since the Red Cross were taken off.

For ironhide if is plastic red then put a clear coat to give a high gloss.
