Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

I could probably deal with the rest of his flaws if his head was spot on to the Ironhide head, which is really simple to draw, not sure what this was such a challenge for them to get right.
Can I ask what's not right about the head sculpt to you? It looks fine to me, and I think some of the promotional photography gives it a bit of a "stretched look," but "in hand" pics show it to be a little more proportional. The head and face look like Ironhide to me, and not like anyone else, so I'm not sure that's "wrong" with it to some.
It's Ironhide's face ... it's just not right! The jawline needs to be more squared off, his face is too thin, it slopes down toward his chin, instead of being a more rectangular face. This is another example of where they take the source material too seriously ... I don't think anyone would have complained about him having a silver face, but instead they gave him this oddly painted face similar to what they did with Bumblebee which dulls the details such as the facial lines. The eyes aren't big enough. The nose isn't wide enough. The bottom of the nose is too close to the upper lip. The nose is also too long. The lines along the side of his face should be very defined yet they can hardly be seen, same problem on Bumblebee's face.
If you guys can't see the many things wrong with Ironhide's face, not sure what to tell you guys. The smallest details can make the biggest differences. Masterpiece Prowl and Wheeljack set the bar ... Ironhide is a disappointment after them. It especially sucks with Ironhide because we keep hoping we'll get a great Ironhide/Ratchet toy at some point but continue to be disappointed with release after release.
And my opinion still stands about his face. Nose is too small or too long or something. Jaw line/sides of face should be more rectangular. All you have to do is look at his character model! Ironhide has one of the easiest Transformers faces to draw. I'm bummed they got this wrong!

MP-10 Optimus is a glorious centerpiece for the MP line... and Prowl is a personal favorite of mine.
Starscream and Soundwave are probably be the two I want the most that I don't have yet....
getting behind on these SUCKS

His head being the worst. Most mistakes of his head have been mentioned. His helmet should go straight down. They made it wrap in a sphere shape.
On the positive side, they took effort to make the bumper to have the 'T'-shape in robot mode like the cartoon. His lower body is alright to me, although his diaper should be smaller.
I'm definitely skipping this one.

digktialx wrote:Yeah I'm not sure on this Ironhide either. He was never a must buy for me since I didn't like the toy (for obvious reasons) and the character in the cartoon. I'd be more interested to see the Ratchet variation but even then I'm still on the fence about picking Ratchet up.

The face was kind of based on this
Still, it really shows how much more could have been done to improve MP Megatron had the figure's designer been given more than a mere 12 days to design it.william-james88 wrote:I love MP Megatron. And while the proportions may be better on Appolyon (which I own), the engineering and transformation hasnt really improved dramatically since, showing how influencial this toy is.

It's not the face I'm talking about, it's the whole thing.
