iGear has updated their website with a teaser image for their partner product PP05. The image shows what looks like Ironhide, with the tagline “such heroic nonsense”, the last words Ironhide ever heard in the Transformers animated movie in 1986.
Could Ironhide be the next unofficial custom release in this not-Transformers not-Masterpiece line? If so, will he be an all-new design, or like the first three iGear PP series will he be a copy of an existing Transformers design (our money’s on Alternators Optimus Prime with different shoulders if that is the case)
The teaser says to pay attention to TFSource’s booth at Botcon, and that whatever it is is coming in fourth quarter 2011. So we do not have long to wait to unravel this mystery.

Yeah, I think this size is pretty good actually. I was concerned that they would be too big to fit with my classics, but I think it's gonna be okay.

Thanks. You rock
With all the Devastator threads out I totally forgot about these.

Also, for all of your questions, more pics, etc, I'd recommend checking out this thread.

Has LOTS more info than the one we are currently posting in.
Wyvern
Ok, one more time fabe. What is the size of these? & inches right? Voyager size?
chrisr291
I didn't really pay attention. I just saw the promo pics you posted and assumed MP sized. Its all good, I don't own the Henkei versions of those characters, so I'll have some money set aside for them

I posted all that info, pics, sizes, measurements in cm and inches, comparisons etc a month or 2 ago Chris.
Told people to do that MONTHS ago too!
Wyvern
I know!! Which is why I need to strike now while I can get a premium..
chrisr291
Wait what? They are deluxe size? Man, I'm out of the loop lol
fabexmax
You won't be alone.
Wyvern
I'm considering selling my Henkei Ironhide and Ratchet and getting these..
MisfitRobot
I just might have to get these.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Well, sort of. You missed the typo in the second sentence.
(I know, I know, I'm being a jerk; but it was funny!)
(Least should be lest, for those who haven't figured that out – "lest" meaning "for fear that" or "in order to avoid")
SMOG
Well, since it's Igear, and they already have a history of shrinking designs down to size… maybe they should offer this in two sizes? This scale looks like it'll be a bit big, unless it's sitting with Alternators or MP figures. How about one the size of a deluxe to replace that sorry mess we got in Classics?
How about it Igear? Capture 2 demographics at once… you'll get all the people who want a big Ironhide or a medium-sized one, and you just know some folks will buy both.
Heh… it'll never happen, but I figured it was worth a try.

The sad thing is that you could easily do this.
If I'm going to be bleeding money to get any version of G1 Ironhide or Ratchet with a damn head, I might as well get the biggest, most accurate, and most full-of-accessories one.

Well give an honest price. These guys are about tall deluxe small voyager if I recall correctly. About the same height, if not exact, to Voyager Classics Prime.
$70-80 is where the real price should be, none of that $100 Exgraver bullshit.

I'd like to test the theory To prove it right or wrong xD
Ok, actually, this figure is a piece of crap. I will only pay 10 bucks for it, if that.
Keith Prime
No, no, no. You're supposed to test it the OTHER way. Say $25.
Fixed.
Transbot90210
You're an ass! lol
exomega255
we should try the theory that some propose that we have a say.
I am willing to pay 1000$ for it.
