    BOOM!:rip 
























    :p 

    Just kidding, I"ll also like to see him pop up in the Classics line.

    I personally thought he be a popular g1 character to be used in the line (with his distinctive roman head design and rugged kick Decepticon tail attitude), but I dunno how the powers to be think about him....

    I'm not interested in Alternators Ironhide. I want a deluxe updated Ironhide for Classics line, something ine line of Towline but better. They can do it, I know they can but will they cut the mustard, bite the bullet, pucker their mouth and kiss my furry a** and JUST do it???

    Well, stay tuned for these messages and I'll be right back!

    I never liked Ironhide- not in the G1 Cartoon, not as a toy. I think the suckiness of E. Ironhide ('Look! You can see my head in alt mode!) perfectly matched my opinion of the original, and will suffice as an homage.

    If they created a new mold for Ironhide that'd be terrific. But Hasbro are like the rock band KISS. They used to have great material, but now they can't do anything original, so they keep rehashing the same stuff over and over... and over and over...

    I refer, primarily to the continuous re-painting of the same mold... and the retelling of the same story.

    Actually I think BotCon Ironhide (& Rachet) look more like G1 Ironhide & Rachet more so than the original versions. They have a new head mold over Towline.

    Still, I do wish Hasbro would give us a Alt Ironhide. It wouldn't be that hard to do.

    Well, he IS in the movie, so I'll betcha Ironhide will get lots of love next summer, along with Jazz.

    But I'm hoping they pop up in a later assortment of classics as well

    Hasbro should do a third wave of Classics (as far as I know they're only doing two right now), with Ironhide, Ratchet and Brawn as the new molds and Skywarp & Thundercracker as the repaints of the Starscream mold.

    Now THAT would be an awesome final deluxe wave IMO.

    I'm lucky enough to own BotCon Ironhide, but I'd still love to see an Alternator or Classics Ironhide too. And Brawn, if there is room in the line. But, now that we are finally guranteed a new Bumblebee I think Ironhide is definantely the character I most want to see a new version of next (along with Ratchet repaint).

    I would love to see this guy as a classic, NOT an ALT. I would love to see a bigger, detailed towline as Ironhide. Towline is as close as you can get to Ironhide G1, in my opinion.

    Id like a new ironhide...I think of all the bad G1 toys, he and ratchet were the worst, thus the MOST deserving for an update. It would be so easy to paint that scion Xb a slightly different Red then Prime and call it Ironhide...The head already pretty much fits.

    I love Ironhide. I have a second Alt OP so just in case he never gets made as an Alt, I can kitbash the sucka. I will be seriously, abominably pissed if the Alts line ends without an Ironhide.
