yeah, apparently during the Q&A sessions, they answered different questions for different boards... http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-general-discussion/195176-hasbro-q.html there's at least 30 questions answered between everyone...one of which is a running change with ironhide...i only found all this out within the last day...i'm very confused as to why it was frontpaged...
it wasnt part of the TFW Q&A, so it wasnt frontpaged...maybe it was mentioned in that thread, but not everyone read every single post in that thread...seems like that's some pretty important info...and even if TFW can't post it all up, they could probably post links to the other sites, correct?
See my post in your other thread, Lumpy, regarding the other Q&A's. Although, to be fair, that tidbit about Ironhide is all over the feedback thread on him.
Judging by the roof... it looks like his plastic parts layout will be changed from the Hasbro version, which is a good thing. Definitely a winner toy from what I'm seeing. Glad I preordered him.
Once again, Henkei shows Universe how it should be done! I am so glad I made the decision to go Henkei over Universe (and living in the UK, the price difference is minimal).
Meh, I still think his windows look fucked up. The rest of the difference is too negligible to even bother paying for again.
I think I will get the Henkei version - for me the price differences between hasbro and Henkei is also pretty minimal.
I'm very happy with my Ironhide (thanks again to Brunkion76) and I will happily pass on this Henkei Ironhide!
really don't understand why they didn't chrome the Brush Bar, the thing that would make the most sense to be chrome... and kind of a bummer they didn't work out the tolerance issues that Make Ironhide all hunchbacky...
November 20. He'll be released in Japan alongside Henkei Galvatron and Masterpiece Thundercracker. North American retailers should have him in stock by the end of November.
