    If you're in the US, I'll be selling my Ironhide as soon as I get the set. $22 plus shipping and he's yours, if you're interested

    As long as they explicitly said your order isn't cancelled then you should still be good I'd imagine

    Pics? I ordered some, but they won't get here until Saturday and I'm really curious to see them on the ER figure.

    He might be an acquired taste, but I like it. (Shapeways wheel upgrades, obviously)

    Good News: I got my set!

    Bad News: Ironhide only has one foot. :confused: 

    If anyone happens to find an extra Ironhide foot in their package, send me a DM! :p

    Worst comes to worst you could always swap the feet from a Siege Ironhide

    Bummer.

    If you have Siege Ironhide, they're the exact same feet. You can just pop those on.

    So, despite ordering this all the way back on July 17th, having it ship on Monday from only about 150miles away, somehow Amazon has now determined that the shipment has been lost less than 30 miles away from me, cannot reorder it, Amazon will not cover the cost difference of a 3rd party seller price, and wants to refund it as a gift card to encourage me to order it later should it ever go back into stock. On the plus side, I didn't get one of the bad QC sets, though!

    I honestly feel a bit lucky now. The worst part about my set is silver splatter of Ironhide’s face and sloppy paint apps on Prowl. Least I wasn’t missing an entire foot.

    got this last week from Amazon and was pretty happy (except for the part where they just slapped a shipping label on the box and sent it as-is) with the two toys...Ironhide was so so close to being great but they really needed to fix the feet in the back of the van...Prowl coulda used the launchers too but I know they\'re trying to differentiate them from the actual toys...

     @yvk2000 My design is a three piece design, so the peg, tire and rim are all separate pieces. I did this because otherwise the peg would be printed stright up and down, and be prone to breakage. I think Sam\'s Forge\'s design on thingiverse also uses this, but I know that Robots \'78\'s design on shapeways does not, so there is a warning to be careful with them. I was initially going to use a similar design, but even printing at very high temperatures and turning off the part cooling fans all together, the parts still broke if you dropped the figure on it\'s wheels. I don\'t know how shapeways prints their parts, but considering I was using a PLA that I had used to print grabbers for an ABB industrial robot while I was in college, and the pegs still broke easily enough that I didn\'t feel comfortable selling them, I would be REALLY careful if you go the shapeways route.

    That transformation to the G1 Ironhide toy is inspired, love it :D 

    Strange how Ironhide's windshield isn't tabbed onto the rest of the chest in most shots, was that a style choice?

    It's weird how the new roof has the start of a back window sculpted and painted in place, but the feet are the same awful hollow blocks as the Siege figure. I wonder why they didn't bother changing these, his clodhoppers are big enough that they could have been redesigned any number of ways and still had a large enough footprint to keep him standing.

    Still not a fan of this Prowl in person, the whole thing feels like a facade of the character, everything as cheap and hollow as they can get it, especially the torso and those clip-on wheels.

    Damn man...

    Anyways, when these figures are in the box and complete, they're great. Kind of nice to get two of my favorite 'bots in one set.

    No, just didn't realize it could go in further till after shoot was done. I did take a couple shots of it tabbed in properly once I was told it does that.

    I need to hire a Transformation Editor to review my content before i get too deep into the photo shoot. :)

    I really love the Siege Ironhide, but not the ER one. As of late, I’m disenchanted by the abundance of “shields” and “sleds”. I don’t mind parts forming, but all these sleds and shields seem like a cheap shortcut.
