DOTM Voyager Ironhide Reviewed

Still I'm thinking he's looking good, might buy him after all.

I was interested in getting him but his arms totally suck! I love his legs though.

Almost the Ironhide I've been waiting for..

Ironhide is looking pretty good, although I would have preferred his regular cannons. I wonder if they are going to work that Mechtech stuff into the plot of the movie, or just new weapons in general... As for Megatron and Prime, they look like good figures, but they are seriously lacking in paint detail.

If this is any indication it may actually be in the movie.

I dunno...seems like the only improvement here is the legs, and that's at the expense of a worse truck bed in alt mode. Other than that, the only other potential positive is it looks to have an interesting transformation, though probably too fiddly to be satisfying. The alt mode really suffers from the ports of the stupid Tex-Mex weapon. So much for the notion that if you don't like the obnoxious, oversized, odd shaped weapons, just don't use them...well, looks like you still have multiple big ass ports sticking out all over the figs. Anyhow, this looks like it might be another pass in the DOTM line, not that I really needed yet another Ironhide anyhow...

I'm seriously considering buying it.

still a NO buy for me.

Wow! That looks pretty weird! While it really reminds me of Vigilante 8, which was a great game, I'm not sure how it would work in "real life." I'm interested to see how the movie justifies the new weapons.

Thank you hasbro. I was really looking foward to getting all the new fansproject stuff this year anyway!

meh.....if someone gave him to me for free i'd play with it for a minute or two i guess. Doesn't seem to be a very good design for the most part, from an engineering standpoint.

i just found reveal the shield tracks and jazz in a wallgreens. i could care less about this skin and bones ironhide. oooh happy day! woo hoo

Did you just pick a random thread in which you have nothing to say about the topic to post this in as opposed to the Reveal the Shield "generation/classics" haul thread? Just seems like an odd thread choice but congrats on the find.

I purchased a movie voyager Ironhide when the first movie came out. So he is off my list. This has some improvements but his stupid dog face....eesh.

we can only hope & wait that movie doesnt have this that its hasbro idea of making new figures for the third film for mechtech weapons that they couldnt come with any new ideas for toys them selves.

toy itself like the legs, & head everything else sucks deluxe ironhide i like more than previous ironhide voyager class big freaking guns this toy line will ruin it what do i care save me alot of money on gernations & reveal the shield line

As far as the figure goes: They got the legs and head sculpt right because the legs and head are awesome. Unfortunately, everything is bad about the figure and ruins it entirely for me.

As far as the side conversation about the mech tech in the movie: I will not judge the movie based on the figures. If the mech tech is in the movies, I'm not too worried about it. A huge budget movie will be able to pull off the concept better than a deluxe or voyager class toy would. If they aren't in the movie, then so be it. Regarding the people wondering how the script of the movie justifies the new weapons, it is a movie about giant alien robots who change their forms at will. We don't need to justify why robots have saliva, need gold teeth,"get old" and need a cane to walk around or about a thousand other things combined between the first two movies but the new guns that they carry we need to justify??

Definitely the best Ironhide we have seen so far. I will be picking him up.

Again (I will be saying this after every toy review) I hate those mechtech peg holes. If they feel the need to throw a giant piece of plastic in there shaped like a gun... *fine.. it will end up in the closet with my humans (&Frenzy) form the Human Alliance line, but leaving the vehicle mode with giant peg holes...

Mech Tech guns really suck. They look ugly, and the vechicle mode now has annoying peg holes all over the place,

Okay I have to get him now. That MechTech weapon is actually pretty sweet, and I could care less about those pegs that destroy his essence and dignity.
I'm also glad to see the old weapons fit.
BFG FTW!!!!

OMG that is one BFG!!!

I like that we get a new voyager Ironhide, but hate that the figures seems slightly smaller which I assume has to do with fitting the mechtech weapons within budget.

Looks like this is one of the DOTM toys I will actually buy.

maybe the chest panels do go in front....

So far I haven't been to impressed with this line But Ironhide and Voyager Megs are the only ones I like the looks off

Very good video review as always Peaugh, I went over to the local library to watch it on a high speed internet connection and you saved me $17 worth of trouble. What I don’t like about the fig is it looks just plane weird, now in the first place I was never a fan of the movie fig’s all the character designs were just off, now I’m sorry to be rude to you fans of the movie design but I just think they should’ve changed the design around like so: BB should’ve been a beetle, jazz should’ve been a camero, ratchet should’ve been a ambulance, ironhide should’ve been a hummer, OP was okay not perfect just okay.
And my rambling spell is done

I have a gut feeling they are gonna kill Ironhide off in this one.

Reason #1 - I have not seen any pictures of his vehicle mode in Chicage (the site in which the major climatic final battle is suppose to take place).

Reason #2 - Michael Bay wants a darker more serious tone in this movie.

Reason #3 - The GMC Topkick is no longer being produced. So you know Chevy certainly wont care.

But thats ok, because they are gonna bring Bulkhead in for movie #4!!

i think its meant to be a trilogy...
and where did you get that rumor from?
