    I'm liking Ironhide better the more I see of him. Too bad they didn't go with a darker blue on the windows. It would have matched the clear parts a bit better, and maybe tone down some of the obvious vehicle mode seams as well.

    Good chance I'll do some touch-ups, but I'll definitely be getting.

    The red looks darker, but I'm guessing that's because of the lightning. Despite it's flaws, it' a must buy

    Did Chinese TF Club ever fix their malware problem? I'm reluctant to visit if their site still tries to load malware onto visitor's computers.

    They'll probably make his brushguard vac-metal, which would make sense, to be honest.

    Can't wait for these to arrive but my wallet had taken some serious pounding for the last couple of months due to my TFs splurge. My wife's ain't making this any easier for a toy collector. :( 

    Woes of a married man! :cry

    Wow Peaugh! The black helps this mold tenfold. I probably will be doing that except for the rear window. I like the chest detail.

    Agreed, Would it have killed Hasbro to do clear windows ALL the way around him?!? Heck if you have to black them out (ala Prowl & Streaker) but at least make him uniform. If the Henkai version of him comes with clear windows I'm buying him! regardless of horrible chroming. One other thing, I understand having a license plate with the state name on it (like later Alternators) but to have the state name BE the License number?!? You look at him in bot mode you'd think his name was Oregon? I HOPE the Repo-Label of him has that little oversight fixed.
    Still gonna get him but still a lil effort from Hasbro is all we ask, I mean come on people you're getting lazy and sloppy, Even more so then usual!!

    which makes me think they won't do it :p  They'll probably vac-chrome the 'Crotch of Doom' or something :p :p :p 

    seriously though, while i think this guy is ok and will pick up, it says something that i'm WAY more excited about Sideswipe and Bluestreak.

    Yeah, I left the rear window clear on mine as well. I considered painting it black and sticking a repro symbol on there, but that can wait until I nab a second one at retail.
