I really like the "Scan" figures - pretty cool-looking, IMO. I'm a fan of that Sideswipe figure anyway...
This is actually a pretty creative way to do a "repaint", I think.

Hm, I can easily pass on the Ironhide, but I rather like the look they have for Sideswipe there, I may actually pick him up.

Wow...that SS is smothered in win sauce...I'll take a double portion please... 
When I first saw this thumbnail thats the first thing that popped into my mind as well..never thought I'd see the day that molded colored plastic meets clear plastic in an affordable hasbro package

I'm trying to limit my Bayniverse collection to Legends/Cyberverse and Human Alliance, and don't even have a deluxe or voyager Ironhide, but even I am very tempted by this.

The paint apps on the Ironhide are nowhere near as good as the Sideswipe. It looks too segmented. Whereas Im really impressed with the SS.

I don't recall which SS mold that is. The blades one, or the sidearm/guns one? I like the way these look, but I don't want/need the IH one, and I'd rather not have another of the bladed SS's.

I gotta admit, I'm really liking what they've done with these two. They look really neat. Too bad I'm not a fan of the Ironhide mold and I already have enough SS in my collection. Otherwise I would totally pick him up. Heck I'd even get him if they at least used the HftD mold (not a fan of the original mold).

That Sideswipe may be sitting in alcohol just 'cuz I want a completely clear version. That size Ironhide still looks weaksauce to me. When will they ever do an "Inferno Ironhide" or "Fire Brigade Ironhide" JUST SO we can get a version in mother-lovin' RED?!

I love the transition from solid to translucent. Beautiful, especially Sideswipe.

Bad luck for you, it's the regular RotF Sideswipe, with the blades.

Hm, the scan series is rather interesting. Its weird they choose a repaint that is only present for like 3 seconds. They make for a cool look at though. Probably wouldnt buy one though.

This is actually a pretty cool idea, but the end product just doesn't look all that great on most of them. 'Swipe might be decent, but we'll have to see bot mode, where most of these figs are failing the hardest. Probably a pass either way, though, just because I'm about tapped out on movie figs...especially when it comes to repaints.

looks more like space/ground bridging figures than scanning figures.

New images of the HFTD Deluxe Ironhide semi-translucent redeco have surfaced on ACToys. This figure will be part of TRU's exclusive Mission Earth: The Scan Series. These images give us some nice detailed shots of the upcoming figure.

the alt mode looks awesome & it is one of the better movie molds but its TRU so its an automatic pass, no doubt the price will be ridiculously high. Cool idea but wasted as an exclusive.

Kinda looks like Ironhide is being reformatted like Megatron in the original movie.

Could work to replace the blue parts on the HFTD Ironhide with the grey ones on this figure. Probably cheaper than the Japanese version.

This is a disapointment. Who needs this ironhide?
Re: TRU Exclusive DOTM Deluxe Ironhide and Sideswipe Images (1220276)
Posted by Blurrz on May 11th, 2011 @ 12:29am CDT
Me and the rest of the scan series. Because it's translucent plastic. Cause its easy to complete this 'set'. Because it's a pretty cool idea. 'Cause who the heck buys regular HFTD Ironhide when they own 5 Voyager Ironhides? Yeah, me.
