flamingunicron:
ironhide is so much more win without the allspark blue paint
EvaUnit13:
Galvy's cool but looks too simple
Omegus Prime:
Ironhide is just too superior to the Hasbro version... yellow stripe, black upper arms and red lower arms, and the windows, WOW, the windows look so much better... I'm holding out for that version.
Valkysas:
galvatron has the STUPIDEST chrome use in this line, and that's saying a lot. it's just terrible. the purple is worse too. I love the universe figure's metallic purple.
They photoshopped or changed his neck though. it's longer in their photo than it is on the universe figure. They've also mistransformed his right arm to get more posability out of him. it's not locked down.
Ironhide though, I'm gonna get him. he looks much better. the universe version is just garbage compared to it. I don't even mind the chrome use. it's very tasteful and doesnt distract at all.
periL75:
Oooh.
I may have to hold out for this version of ironhide too! This looks so much better.
Incepticon:
Shit. Looks like I'm gonna have to get the Henkei of Ironhide afterall. Even with the crappy chrome & yellow lines, it's still light years better than Hasbro's blue-faced version. And I'm LOVIN that there's no eye-sore Oregon license plate on this one.
Dinobot Nuva:
Wow, what the FUCK were they thinking on Galvatron.
DN
revlimiter:
attack of the random chrome!
xSEANxLONGx:
Another Henkei Version I am Getting! I Love my Ironhide but the Henkei version just made a great toy EVEN BETTER!
He looks even more cartoon accurate and no more blue face and the chrome looks awesome! I am gonna get this for sure.
Nothing could make me get another Universe Galvatron tho his colors weren't a problem it was the arms falling off easy and the back heavy pack that made him fall over.
Sentinel Pax:
Wow...that Ironhide looks all kinds of awesome. One of the few Classics 2.0s that looks far better than Hasbro's release.
drill:
Galvy's only plus is the extension of purple on his left arm.
Ironhide is beautiful. I want him so bad.

but i live in oregon
i do agree this one looks better, but, i think i'll be just as happy with the tfu ironhide, though i am still going to get henkei ratchet
Valkysas: so does ironhide. the license plate was perfect, and the only thing I'll miss.
Gryph:
I just knew they'd use that light purple. They also replaced nearly all the silver with black. Which you can barely even see because of the dark gray. Really bad choice of color there. Also the chrome just doesn't make any sense at all.
Ironhide looks fine, but not really enough of a difference to pay the extra money.
autobot5599:
I like ironhide but the chrome on galvy's turrent is horrible!
LEADERS_MATRIX:
I hate the Chrome on Galvi, but they did get rid of the orange.
And Iornhide is sweet.

yea, i miss that about it too.
i also preferred the black lower arms to, on the classics, the only part i don't like is the blue, but i can live with it for half the price

I just think the license plate really kills the aesthetic of the figure and looks a little silly sitting all front & center like that.

Other than Megatron, this is the only other Henkei repaint that's managed to grab my interest in the slightest. I generally prefer Hasbro's versions, but they really f'd things up with the powder blue face & windows. If we can expect the same from Ratchet, then I'll definitely be getting the Henkei version of him too.
Powersa:
I will get Universe version of these two
MushroomPrime:
Ironhide may just be my first Henkei, so badass looking.
nOObiE do0:
Now I have to agree with the random chrome comments....
Ironhide's brushguard isn't chrome.
Ktulu:
I guess Ironhide is better but Galvy is underwhelming, there's so much that could've made him more G1isshsh
Buttttt at least most of the orange crap is gone

no problem, but the oregon license plate is the number one reason why i am buying this guy lol!
though i do find the chrome cannon kind'a throwing me off this guy.
couldn't they of chromed the bumper or something? lol
Lord Of Tetris:
Galvatron looks cool. But I still don't understand why there's chrome at random places on these Henkei toys.
saberconvoy:
Ironhide a must get
Galvatron
eh size prob

seeing them side by side, i like them both... i can't decide which one i like more
Edit: wait that's not the henkei version, phew, now i don't have to choose lol.

Tis just Hasbro's and how I plan to repaint him
KAGE:
Just what I was wait'n for! I cant stand that weird "Lazer Blue" on the U.S. Ironhide. I know the J.P. ver would be better.
They can let the crome go now, if it's not on the original G1 ver then dont find some random place to put it on the new ones.
Joe1:
......i really like that ironhide, and i kinda like the galvatron too
Obvious Prime:
Galvy looks meh.
But Ironhide..... he looks WAY better. I know I'll be holding out for the Henkei one instead.
ZeroMayhem:
I like Henkei Galvy's purple soooooooo much better. Sick of Hasbro's warm purples of late. Still a pass though on either version, he's just a mess of a figure.
Ironhide looks sweet too, overall better (cept for the yellow) *edit* Just looked up newer picks of Hasbro's version after the "Blue face" talk, and ugh. Yeah Henkei version wins!

yea i noticed that afterwards, lol, though i do like YOURS better then the henkei
GavynN.X.:
REally dislike the purple feet on Galvatron...should have chromed the knee guards and paint the feet black/grey!
Fosterlager:
Screw Papa Smurf, it's Henkei Ironhide for me.
c717905:
Ha, I just caved and pre-ordered Ironhide from TFsource this morning. Now I am really glad that I did. The Henkei version is sooooooo much better than the crap that Hasbro is trying to sell. I have about 5 Henkei figs now and if they keep this up, I might just have to switch over to all Henkei figs (ok, maybe not Galvatron).
Henkei Ironhide FTW!!!
BigRC83:
So the rims will not be painted for the HENKEI version either. That is a bummer. Not enough change to ditch HASBRO's Ironhide. Hope reprolabels releases a G1 accurate graphic for Ironhide.
I said it before and I will say it again, pass on Galvatron.
Tekkaman Blade:
BBTS is already sold out of the ironhide pre-oder, hopefully they will order more now. If not I'll just go the ebay route.
Vangelus:
Galvatron is not impressed by his randomly silver arm. >: (
Optimus747:
Ironhide is pretty cool, but I think that Universe Galvatron is better than the Henkei version. It'd have been neat if they'd done Galvatron in original G1 toy colors (grey and blue); now THAT would have been worth getting.
giga-galvatron:
That Galvatron looks nice and Im most definitely grabbing the Ironhide
Gears:
The Universe version of Galvatron looks nicer to me than that Henkei version.
Xhairs:
man now i dont know what i want to do . man the ironhide is 100x better then what were getting. this sucks either pay 10 or what ever the new price is or pay the 25 with shipping. what to do. man this sucks!!!!!!! i think ill go with the 10 and do some repainting to it.
Dropshot:
Galvatron sucks bad, probably the worst henkei to date.
Ironhide is pure win, probably the best henkei along with Megs because it's a big improvement from Hasbro's version.
PoweredConvoy:
I prefer both to the Hasbro versions. Both are great improvements, especially Ironhide.
Randy
Peaugh:
Will be getting both. Ironhide for awesome factor, Galvatron for parts swap.
shumworld:
galvatron is still pretty lacklustery.
artiepants:
Ironhide is tons better, but they CHROMED his head and taillights? W.T.F.?
that, of course, is only slightly less bizarre the Galvatrons CHROME TURRET.
um. what?
probably will go Henkei for Ironhide though, retarded chrome aside it schools Hasbro's version.
