    It's definitely not perfect. My biggest complaint continues to be the highly visible hinges. The size looks good and the plastic looks thick and hefty...but the hinges are jarring. The bot mode is the bigger winner, IMO.

    I think overall the hinges look worse than ER

    Looks good, so glad I sold of my ER for this guy a while back. Bring on Ratchet.
    I'm pretty sure it was.

    I agree with that. I think overall alt mode is better than ER...mostly...but those hinges are a distraction.

    Yeah you can find the weapons sold on Ebay I think or at least the Shockwave and Reflector camera.

    I feel like for people who missed out on Earthrise this is a great option. As someone who managed to get Earthrise and likes the figure this is going to be a pass for me.

    Reposting since this is the main thread, looks like they’re the same size in alt mode. The more I look at my pimped ER vanettes, the less I’m hyped by this new voyager IH.

    everyone saying that the earthrise van is comparable to this, we all remember the big blocky siege shoulders hanging out the sides, right

    It looks like the missing yellow stripes is for them to not show in ‘bot mode. Again as per the SS 86 series standard, prioritizing ‘bot mode.

    Hmm. Looks like it's still going to need lots of customization with retro labels and painting if you want it to look right. Which is a little disappointing, I have to admit.

    I think mismatching colors on current figures is what annoys me more than anything else these days. It annoyed me on Sunstreaker and it definitely will with this Ironhide.

    Overall, it was an almost awesome set but with the nuking of the energon cube handles, unpainted Reflector, SW half painted, same with the rocket pack and even CJ glass gun was not reflected in the contents. :lol

    That comparison is quite tricky tbh (not regarding the size), that ER Ironhide was given some upgrade kits, the real deal looks like this

    It's a fine alt mode but:

    • Clip wheels
    • Unpainted rear window & tail lights
    • Only one accessory*
    How the everloving hell is this a Voyager.

    *for anyone tempted to object that we don't know yet because it's a stolen sample: there's only storage space for the one blaster and no ports or other clips for storing or attaching anything else in alt mode, aside from the nubs where the Ratchet lightbar would go.

    Agreed. Either are a good option really and with the feet upgrades I'd say ER is at least comparable to SS86 and possibly better depending on what you want out of it

    yep, they're an annoyance to an extent, but they're not that bad in my opinion, plus the hinges sticking out on the sides and the protusions for the light bar are worse on SS86 than the ER mold

    but that comparison was solely for size, so it's not tricky at all

    Yeah, it's those hinges. Sigh. I think this will be an overall improvement over "basic model" ER Ironhide but there's always a compromise and I think the hinges will be the biggest compromise on this version.
