    Studio Series Ironhide looks amazing when transformed properly

    That's one smooth vehicle mode on Ironhide. Literally the only issue I have with him is that unsightly bumper in robot mode, but I can live with it. :)

    Never had this version. Would prefer to get the Takara Lost Age version of ROTF Jolt, TBH.
    Probably Pledge Floor Polish with Future Finish, I imagine?
    I thought this was all just me. :lolol 
    I hate you because you have this and I don't. :lolol

    Red's charts are considered sacred to me. Nearly, if not fully, perfect.

    Does the SS Megatron in the last pic have his legs extended?

    Looking at my own Megatron, and looking at this one, I do believe that he did extend his Megatron's legs to make it that tall.

    You mean the inaccurate backpack? Sure. With BB Prime, the backpack is huge, yes, but you have:

    - properly angled panels with the gas tanks below them
    - red pieces covering the gas tanks
    - the freaking fifth wheel (first movie Prime toy to get that right)

    Might I also remind you that the gas tanks are removable and become guns as well? Just because a backpack is bigger doesn't necessarily mean that it's worse. You've got to look at what it's made up of as well. For BB Prime, the backpack is far more complex, accurate and competent, outweighing its size by a mile.

    And for the price point and the size, of it being a Voyager at that time, I think what they managed to do with the figure was extremely commendable, and I do still think the figure exceeds the ss one in more ways than 1, especially in terms of alt mode and accessories. The matrix was also a nice touch

    They had nothing, it was just a promo to their possible "future".

    You know, by "Leader Blackout" standards, I think Shockwave should be a leader class. He has a lot of bulk in robot mode that I dont see a Voyager capturing correctly. And we are getting 2 more Leaders correct?

    To each their own, but I find it to be far too large to look passable regardless of whether the guns are removed or not. The guns don’t even end up looking good as far as I’m concerned.

    There's also

    -The horribly fiddly transformation
    -Missing pegs so the truck nose doesn't fit together
    -Bad arm articulation because of said panels
    -Terribly made backpack
    -Useless tiny swords that only make the transformation more fiddly

    You keep going on about the guns but they'e literally a gas tank with a barrel. They look pretty bad.
