Earlier today we were treated with official images of the upcoming Transformers: Dark of the Moon voyager Ironhide and Deluxe Starscream, and now popular YouTube reviewer Peaugh has posted a review of Ironhide! To watch Peaugh's video review of the figure click here!

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..

by **BATTOUSAIXD** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 12:23 am

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...

by **Doubledealer93** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 1:15 am

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!

by **MGrotusque** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 3:14 am

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.

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 :APPLAUSE:

by **joesaysso** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 9:10 am

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??

by **xtsaur** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 9:24 am

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... :BANG_HEAD:

by **Rated X** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:37 am

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

by **OptiMagnus** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 12:02 pm

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!!!!

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.
