    Looks good but not sure if it's Ironhide enough.

    Is this that Legends Class FOC that's been hinted at?

    How big is this, exactly? Common sense would say deluxe scale, but the engineering suggests much smaller with the very simple construction (the arms seem to have ball joints at the shoulder, a pinned elbow, and nothing else). The legs look fairly straightforward, too, though at least there might be a thigh swivel. Needs more red on the arms to be accurate to the design, too.

    Looks like a good start, but it definitely needs some work if it's going to be sold at a premium pricepoint. If it's a Legends scale, though, it looks fairly good, but... why?

    Looks good. They got the RID character down pretty well.

    But Metroplex isn't FOC styled. He isn't even IDW styled, so this still doesn't work. Besides, there seems to be a much larger market for Deluxe-scaled FOC toys to fit in with the other FOC toys. I just don't understand the decision here.

    WFC-inspiration? I want see more WFC-style weels. But look very interesting. I love FWC/FOC designs. Sadly it's not deluxe scaled. ( And I don't need legend-class Ironhide.

    Commander Class Ironhide? I'm down. Hopefully they retool/redeco this as Ratchet as well.

    I dig this and will likely pick up both this and their Seeker mold. I'm a whore for the game designs.

    That's my biggest bewilderment about this. Why are they making these to interact with a Classics Metroplex when that Metroplex clearly ISN'T his game incarnation. I still dig these guys and want them but they just confuse me.

    Apparently, this is ShapeShiftInc's theme.
