    Yes this is a masterpiece, more specifically Masterpiece Movie Series Ironhide, also known as MPM-6, part of Hasbro and Takara's joint toyline celebrating the characters and designs from the Michael Bay directed transformers films that began with 'Transformers' in 2007. Hope that helps. :) 

    Barricade looks absolutely wicked in these shots, I cannot wait to see how he looks compared to the other MPM figures all lined up together. Ironhide too continues to blow me away; whilst there are a few minor details and nitpicks with the figure, this piece just oozes the feel and character of Ironhide in the movies. In other words, I love the character and the toy rules, in my opinion.

    Of the movie bots, Ironhide and Ratchet are two of my favorite designs (really think movie 1 nailed the autobots all pretty well). Though a little stubby, this looks fantastic (IMO), I hate to say this, cause I don't really do KOs, but I may double dip if I can get a KO version cheap, or better yet a legit version on sale.

    Simplest explanation is that the arms are mistransformed. Someone else pointed out in the other IH reveal thread that there are several bits that looked wrong where the parts should've locked and allowed clearance for the back pieces to be moved into a different position.

    ... so it's not a ten year old happy meal toy like I initially thought.

    Thanks for the tip!

    God dammit I really want Ironhide. Like, NOW. Sucks we have to wait for the fall! Especially since distribution has gotten worse and worse over the years, most of us will probably end up paying more online somewhere.

    PS: Barricade's spike thingy looks so cheap in these photos, like it'll snap the first second. I probably won't even take it out of the box if I get him. Always thought it was way overdone and not a very thought-out weapon.

    Without wanting to sound like a hater, they look as good and accurate as the original movie toy line did which went for far less money. No doubt they will have extra details and features but still, the first movie toys had a great ability to look like the respective character in both modes

    IF they were even there, and I personally don't consider "He tell me" or 4chan a reputable source of information.

    Still, we got a look at Ironhide and that's more than satisfying enough while we wait for the next big toy fair event where Predaking will almost definitely rear his magnificent head.
    Unless that bald German guy also raises his.

    Yeah, I hate the weapon. If I had the choice of either the weapon or Frenzy, it's Frenzy hands down 100%.

    Ironhide is "eh." Never too into him. Didn't really have the same "love at first sight" appeal that fuckin' Barricade has. That is a MUST HAVE for me. While I would've loved to have Frenzy....there's just not enough mace weapons in transformers. Boring ol' swords, axes, and hammers. I'm tired of that shit. Barry's mace is badass!

    We just gonna ignore that Barricade's plate is the Oklahoma plate? That's just about the best thing on a figure in this line so far. God I fucking love this line.

    Who is this mysterious (and presumably handsome looking) "4chan?" Does he have a favorite body pillow?

    Serious question, are you looking at MPM Ironhide from far away? Otherwise you are generalizing far too much. MPM06 Ironhide is far more accurate to the actual movie model than 2007 Voyager Ironhide. It even has the asymmetric eyes which I didn't even realize the movie model had.

    The 2007 movie toys started development in late 2004 or 2005(movie was originally supposed to be out November 2006), well ahead of the 2007 movie and all Hasbro had access to was concept art which wasn't even finalized. Ironhide's movie design was changed substantially from the concept art by the final cut.

    I get that some of you prefer the proportions of the older voyager and leader Ironhides. However, as proportionate as they are compared to MPM06 Ironhide, they are not as accurate to the actual cg model as MPM06 Ironhide. The closest one prior to MPM06 was the HFTD deluxe. Movie Ironhide did not have the proportions of a humanoid as much as Prime and Bumblebee. He looked more like a bulldog standing up with bulldozers for legs and side mounted tanks for arms.

    That's probably the most accurate description of Movie Ironhide I've ever heard!
