Fits his character IMO.
These last in hand pictures have looked a lot better. Glad to see the chest/neck area doesn't have to look as odd as it did in the first pictures released. I'm still firmly seated on the fence.

What do you people want the designers to do, use black Magic to copy a design that in Robot mode had zero vehicle bits on show to work with and still transform into a van. I doubt even Hasui could of engineered that and still make it look good. This figure is probably the best anyone could do with the design they had to work with and all we can do is be perfectionists who nit-pick every detail.
Sir, you obviously haven't seen Voodoo Robots version. The proportions are amazing and it doesn't have the hip kibble.

It also isn't shooting for the screen accuracy elsewhere.

This is it, I'm assuming?
I'm fine with people liking the mp, but lets not kid ourselves, mp ironhide isn't very screen accurate. Sure voodoo's has windows on his feet (but nothing else wrong as near as I can tell), but mp ironhide has that atrocious, over-sized, and cumbersome diaper, obvious hip panels, butt wheels, and those weird hollow/sloping sides, plus, I'm pretty sure his chest panel and face have incorrect proportions too
Posted by Doctor McGrath on January 26th, 2016 @ 2:26pm CST
I believe they both have issues. I was simply pointing out to Mykltron that while the proportions may be more appealing to him, I don't think Voodoo's is any more screen accurate than the official incarnation.

Well I'm not getting any of them, but I'm fascinated by this issue. I want to know why ratchet looks so much better than ironhide, but I think voodoo's looks more screen accurate, maybe its' diaper is too small though But overall, I think it looks better than the mp

Yeah, if that's what it comes down to, I can get behind that argument.

I think it revolves around the crotch. That and Ratchet's uniform color scheme helps too I believe. Voodoo's is cool but has its problems. Find a picture from the side or back.

Most of these 3rd Party vs HasTak releases, or even 3rd Party to 3rd Party releases are splitting hairs (one looks more accurate here, the other there). This time, MP Ironhide (and MP Ratchet) hit the right spots in looks and cost. For some reason I've been swapping between bot and alt mode a lot lately with my figures, so maybe that's the extra nudge I need here too.Hellscream9999 wrote:Yeah, if that's what it comes down to, I can get behind that argument.itscramtastic wrote:I like the VooDoo Robots versions, but I don't like the price in comparison to MP Ironhide/Ratchet.

His belly also angled inward much more on the cartoon model while the MP has much less inward-angling gut, which is also much wider than his upper torso windshield, giving him a much fatter look than the more broad-chested fit-looking cartoon model.

Just everything from the waist down, similar forearm issues as MP Ironhide, and this (using their Ratchet for clarity):
MP Ironhide might have butt wheels and windows on the back of his arms, but this is just a disaster. I really don't see how this figure is supposed to be an improvement.

I agree. Thats just a pile of fail. I really dont see why anyone would chose this 3rd party over the official product. Even from the front the lower legs, bulky shoulders, lower part of the chest, waist, feet NONE of that crap is accurate at all. And lets not get on that back view....
Now the only minuses I have from the TT is the gut (a slight fold would've worked wonders) and the hip panels. Thats it. The rest is fine to me.

I believe Takara-Tomy did a helluva job with a very challenging figure. Without compromising the vehicle mode in any way, they got Ironhide amazingly close to the cartoon model. It'd be literally impossible to have a chest/torso look any more like the cartoon without seriously butchering his van mode, considering his chest in the cartoon looked more like a microwave oven than a vehicle.
He's a very clean figure with great articulation and in my opinion a real Masterpiece. There's a four-part chinese review on YouTube now, and this one covers the articulation pretty well (he covers the torso swivel so fast that if you blink you'll miss it):
Love those ratcheted joints!

Well, I'm still not in love with this figure, but having watched the video, I'm warming to him. Maybe I will get him, it is Ironhide after all.
