    Really hope this is a mostly new mold instead of an ER reissue, same goes for the rumored SS'86 Arcee unless that was already debunked. Siege Ironhide was already a pretty good take on the character to me, so if we're once again getting a new G1styled figure I hope the van mode will be less compromized.

    I wouldn't mind it being a deluxe+ like Hot Rod either if it means the figure feels more solid and dense. One of my gripes with Siegehide has always been how relatively light he feels, especially compared to Siege Sideswipe.

    Instead of putting him in SS86 can they not just reissue the ER Amazon exclusives?

    I'm guessing the reason for the SS86 figure's existence is a combination of not only the limited availability of the ER version, but also some disagree of satisfaction with how that figure turned out.

    That, and the leaker's words that Hasbro is largely satisfied with many of the figures they've done in WFC and don't feel the need to redo them again, is the main reason I think we're not going to be seeing yet another wave of redoes of all of these characters, instead seeing a couple here and there like Ironhide and Ratchet.

    I'm interested but these had better be good, like absolutely definitive, the best we could possibly do good.

    I've already brought both of these guys twice in the last few years! o_O

    Because he was an exclusive who was so hard to get even if you preordered him, you weren’t guaranteed to get him, and he now goes for stupid sums on the secondary market?

    Also the toy was pretty average to begin with, so if it is a new mold, that $10 extra to Hasbro is far preferable to a rerelease that would need $20 or more in 3rd party upgrades.

    Yeah, if you were one of the few able to nab him of Amazon. Many of us had to go without.

    I wonder if it's going to be like SS 86 Starscream and be Earthrise Deluxe Ironhide with accessories that make it voyager price point. If so, I could see them repeating the formula for Earth Rise Prowl and Ratchet. Such heroic nonsense...

    If they're doing Ironhide, they'll do Prowl.

    Which means, once again, that sound you hear is the bottom falling out of the secondary market for these two.

    Ratchet yes, Prowl no.

    Because Ironhide and Ratchet had to lose elements of the original toy's sled. That's likely what'll get beefed up for the 86 release.

    Prowl will likely just be a straight re-release. Maybe with some changes to the paint job.

    Personally I'm still hoping for an ongoing (non-store exclusive) retro packaging line, and these guys would be great starters for it methinks....:D

    Because, it’s still Studio Series… Studio Series 86… which means movie characters. I doubt they’re going to do Brawn or Gears at the Voyager scale, so I doubt this wastes a slot. At least a Voyager slot for SS86.

    Bolded and fixed for you. You want G1-cartoon accurate? Go Masterpiece. There's already a line that fits that aesthetic. Generations is G1 but modern. We literally got TWO Ironhide figures in WFC, and that's still not enough! AMAZING!

    What are we gonna do? Released another G1 Optimus Prime with the 86 movie headsculpt because accuracy? The hyper-fixation on hyper-cartoon-accuracy is getting asinine, especially with characters we already have in this scale.

    Time to move on to other characters. Plenty of other characters needing love than redoing the core characters for the umpteenth time. Nothing was wrong with ER Ironhide and Ratchet other than their exclusivity. Literally nothing.

    The only accessory he’ll come with is Heroic Nonsense. :D

    He is one of my favs so I'll buy every version that comes out with a smile on my face. I just hope he is a new mold to justify that Voyager price. I'd like it if they took the Legacy Bulkhead and retooled it into Ironhide.

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I want Studio Series 86 to center on new (or significantly improved, not just repainted or minimally enhanced) molds for 1986 TF: The Movie characters, which is the stated premise of the line. ("epic moments and characters from the classic The Transformers: The Movie, bringing fans a whole new series of screen-inspired figures to collect!") I don't want re-releases, or a best of G1 line in a broader sense. But that's just me.

    That was one of my first thoughts seeing the Bulkhead mold was, “That’d make a decent Ironhide.”

    I’m gonna bet they’ll tweak either the siege or Earthrise mold and pack him with accessories like Hot Rod. I might still buy that, though, depending on the accessories.

    Because the other more pressing complaint is that many people who wanted that Ironhide, including some who preordered it, missed out.

    So excited! Being a Voyager, this means it\'ll (hopefuly) be a new mold! Which means it\'ll (hopefully again) be WAY better than Earthrise! Also maybe more scale accurate? And since they\'re making this guy, there\'s a good chance they\'ll make other, uh... dead characters. This raises the chances of my theory that they\'ll retool Earthrise Prowl as SS86. There\'s so much this figure is saying for me!
