ROTF Voyager Ironhide

As most of you know, ROTF Voyager is a pretty disappointing release. The colors are all wrong, funky deco, and more looser joints due to Ironhide had prior multiple releases of the same mold. But while most of you may skip this release, I find the new cannons and the new head sculpt serve a very good purpose... upgrading your 07 Movie Ironhide.

Both the new head sculpt and cannons are a lot more screen accurate than the previous. The head sculpt is spot on on Ironhide's likeness with some nice crooked facial feature. Add a lot more accuracy and personality over the old head. The cannons, while being sized a bit funky with the right one really big and the left one a bit small, and a bit oddly colored with the light grey (thanks again Hasbro!), they look cool on the figure still. The light grey cylinder/barrel of the left one might slide around too much, so you might need to unscrew it and do some minor mod to keep it in place. I even flipped it right side up to make it look more accurate. Not sure why Hasbro assembly it the other way around...

The parts are pretty much identical, so swapping arm parts, hands, and cannons are easy. The only tricky part is unscrewing the head, which the screw is located at the bottom end of the neck, and has to half-transform the figure to expose the screw through a gap on the body panels. So get a long enough skinny screw driver and some patience to get the head out. But once thats done, pick and choose any parts of the ROTF Ironhide and swap it with your original.

When everything is in place, and maybe add a little bit of paint touch up, Ironhide can look better than ever, thanks to the ROTF Ironhide.

That looks awesome - thanks for the heads up!

I was waiting on someone doing this as I wanted to see what it looked like.
It looks awesome. Think I'll pick up ROTF Ironhide and do the same.
Thanks alot for the pic, most appreciated.

I like it. I will get him along with Ratchet sometime over the summer.

The weapons look accurate this time, but too bad Hasbro had to repaint him... Why oh why??? Did he appear that way for a short time in the new movie??? I doubt he did. But looking at the photos here, I might just want to get him too and repaint him black...hmmm... But will remain in robot mode coz his truck mode has his weapon sticking up at the back.... WTF!!! By the way, the Voyager ROTF Ratchet looks good with the dirt style paint, saw it the other day.. But, its missing some details such as the emergency lights on the roll bar isn't painted unlike the first movie Voyager Ratchet, so that repaint too was a disappointment. Probably the only 2 voyager figures not worth getting if you already have the first movie versions..

yea when mine comes from bbts, that i ordered in the case, i was considering giving the guns to the older *black* version i have lol... in fact maybe even combine both guns for the new one, and the original, and give him TWO large canons...

Racist

Smurfist...

Also I dunno about pickin up this release, my Movie 1 Ironhide looks fine as well as most of my movie 1 bots do.
