Ironhide looks nice, but not 2 1/2 times the price nice.
Galvatron…. bleah.
MushroomPrime
this is all your fault cyclonus, nnah!

People who already have universe ironhide have said that it IS the allspark blue.

Henkei Ironhide is very tempting.

Ohhhh Ironhide, you sexy beast you! I'm so glad I preordered one, I knew the Henkei version would look better without that Allspark blue.

I guess that's a big HAH at whoever thought Takara would make a superiro Galvatron. that thing isn't just NOT 100% G1, it's also boring boring ultra boring.
Ironhide, however, is awesome, even for a Universe mold.

As been said, Takara's Ironhide looks miles better than Hasbro's attempt.
I wasn't gonna pick up the mold at all, but these pics just made me preorder it!
Opticron Primal
But the blue isn't even allspark/smurf/HOLY HELL, IT'S BLUE….blue. It's like a faded metal-like blue……on the face (which isn't that noticable) and windows (which I agree, does look out of place) *sigh*…..maybe I don't see what you guys see. The Hasbro version looks fine to me.

Ironhide looks so much better, I love the chrome, the normal looking windows, silver face, properly colored arms!! wow!
artiepants
yeah, if it's not to much trouble that's probably the route i'll go.
you forgot "removing the ugly-@SS 'allspark blue'." which is 90% of what's ruining the Hasbro version, the Yellow on henkei Ironhide is just icing on a much better looking cake. Still wish the rims were painted though
shush, you! that'd make SENSE!
Optimatron
It's great that Takara actually painted Ironhide's face silver like it should be on the hasbro version in the first place but I don't really see the point in paying so much extra money when I can just paint his face and windows on my own for a 5th of the cost..Takaras chrome is just weird and out of place as is the yellow stripe.
As for Galvatron, I already have the Universe version and I think that it looks much better than this henkei version.

Why can't Japan get Galvy's purple right? He's too light and not dark enough. I'll still buy this one, provided TakTomy puts some metal pins in the all those places where things fall off.
Henkai AHRNHYDE is so supperior to the Hasbro version it's terrifying. And I'm not one who normally drinks the Takara lemonade.
G1Wheeljack
Agreed, I'm going to get this as well as the Hasbro version, the Hasbro one only because I can't wait to play with this.
Runamuck
Yup, much like the Hasbro version.

Thanks DN.

Alright, that did it. Ironhide has now been officially preordered at LAF Toys. I've been cringing at all the shots I've seen of the American one, with the AWFUL blue face and "Allspark blue" windows. I still can't understand how Hasbro screwed this one up so badly?!? I'm starting to think they purposely chose to make one figure out of every wave look horrible just to throw a bone to TakaraTomy.
Ah well. I'll pay triple the cost of the US one, but at least I'll be proud to have this guy on my shelf.
Obvious Prime
Yeah. I was really hoping they'd do that too.
Nerroth
And I haven't even mentioned having a third one, to rep the Galvatron in the Worlds Collide series!
vektsilver
this gets me thinking
Master piece Ironhide would be awesome

Now thats a repaint idea I like
