    I'm hoping mine will arrive in the next couple of days and will try to take pics. Any request?

    If you love the colors and the mold but do not like having the same characters twice, you can always rename them.

    Er, I think he meant he couldn't justify spending the money on these repaints!

    Thanks for the bot-mode pics... Starscream doesn;t look bad really, but EZ pass for both, for me.

    I still kind of like the SS, and I thought I would like Ironhide, but the colors are too flat. Ironhide needs more black to break things up and certain pieces (his tires for instance) shouldn't be grey (I understand that they were cast in the same mold as the other grey pieces, but they should be black).

    After seeing the in hand pictures, this is the second Ironhide I'll likely be passing on, with Prime Ironhide being the first (Come on Hasbro/Takara....WTF?).......The cost of importing it vs. how much I actually like the look of the figure comes into play again here.

    It really needs some black to break up the wall of red. The face needs at least a little detail, and as someone else mentioned, the gray tires....UGH.

    I have two red Ironhide customs that are pretty damn amazing, so if I don't end up with this it won't break me. I would have to add quite a bit of detail/paint to this to be satisfied.

    And though I love the color red, love G1 Ironhide, and love my custom red Ironhides, movie Ironhide looks the best exactly the way he is in the films -black.

    Don't like the G1 Starscream at all, I have the 07 deluxe and wish I would have never brought it. The Ironhide looks ok, not really feeling the paint apps on the head. I can see a G1 inspired head sculpt on it.

    How hard would this have been... like, IN the movie? Ironhide has been red for like 20 years. And it's not like anyone else was hanging around being red in the movie. (Prime was blue with flames.)

    And while they were at it, Ratchet in white... and the accents from the right country... and... But I digress.

    While I'd call Ironhide, "Rusty" in my collection, I won't keep an eye out for that Starscream.

    That Starscream's a definite pick up for me. Not so sure about the Ironhide though... I never picked the DOTM version up.. And that mold only looks right in black to me..
