    Thanks for the review, Ironhide looks awesome. How's the plastic quality? Is the same as Prowl/Sunstreaker/Octane? Thanks!

    Very intricate transformation for a deluxe. Bit of a pity it looks slightly like one of those 3D Transformer puzzles in alt mode.


    Sculpting putty + red paint?

    He looks great. Many things remind me of Movie Swindle. However, it looks like ALLSPARK BLUE RETURNS TO RUIN MORE COOL TOYS :p

    Nice review Sean, about time Menasor1979 got that to you. I can't wait for this to be at retail. :(  at sticky paint on Silverstreak though, hope that dosen't happen if we get a Smokescreen. When will Hasbro learn?

    Maybe production Silverstreak will be straightened out quickly like Prowl - it was only the initial batches remember?

    That does not compute for most of us though, I know, we like to buy on site eh :scalper

    I can not wait to get this bugger and his remold. I've wanted an ironhide and ratchet that actually had a head since I was a kid!

    Great review...as always. Toy looks like a lot of fun, but it seems a little bland to me. Can't help but think the Henkei! version will be spiced up a bit. Just hope they don't go overboard w/ chrome as I'd rather see a darker shade of red and some paint apps to the wheels. And a better coloring for the windows...if they can't be all translucent.

    I can't wait to get Ironhide, and the eventual retool/repaint into Ratchet. He's going to be a nice addition to my collection, though the blue face is a little bothering (nothing a little bit of silver paint can't fix :D ). As for the review itself....no comment.

    I see that they did nothing to change the blue face on Ironhide...this IMO is the biggest downfall of the figure. Although, the screws being visible on the arms is another huge gripe I have. I'm still going to buy this figure because I have wanted a G1 accurate Ironhide figure for quite awhile, but it seems that alterations are in order

    The waist looks horrible, and I hate the blue face. I'm gonna wait for the Henkei version.

    Paint the blue on his face and head silver, and the windows (except the rear) black. Does wonders. Still not pefect, but a lot better.
