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.

Good ole Chappelle's Show. It left us too soon.
Also, yeah. I pre-bought both (Hot Rodimus and Ironhide/Ratchet), and I feel like only a few of us like them. I don't think that has happened before. I wish we could do a show of hands.
Fire up the poll!!

Meh, I went on and bought him. He should be here Friday, from HLJ. 80 bucks shipped. That's 6 bucks cheaper than the lowest price I saw on ebay.

Seriously, this is easily in the top 3 for most fascinating transformation. If only it was Ratchet... Soon..

The transformation is Masteriffic!
Anyone not calling this masterpiece needs their doubtacles checked! Imagine, from a Twinkie shaped vehicle to a big @ss 'bot? Btw, should MP IH be considered a shell former?

Just pulled the trigger on this guy. To be honest I'm still not in love with him, I absolutely HATE the hip kibble, and I'm not entirely happy with how he looks from the side. Maybe he will really "wow" me once I have him in-hand.

I just realized that Ironhides vehicle mode doesn't have any rear view mirrors.
This is a first, right? Or am I missing something?

Reading how everyone praises the transformation, I don't know if I wanna spoil it with the video, I plan on getting the mold, but as Ratchet as I'm on a limited budget and Ratchet is one of my favorite charaters.

My feelings exactly. I really like the Voodoo take on Ironhide, but not the price. I fell in love with Tracks after he was in my mits, here's hoping history repeats.
I found the price difference between snail mail and 5 day FedEx from HLJ to only be about five bucks for me. Well worth it. Location matters though, I suppose.

Someone modded it.
Honestly - it looks like a simple fix and one that we shouldn't have to do on a Masterpiece, especially when it fixes so many of the terrible aesthetic choices made

Got my shipping notice for him today.
Should be a week and change before he arrives.
Interested in forming in hand opinion after seeing all of the speculation.

I've been searching, and while I haven't found the mod yay/nay answer I have found another panel-less Ironhide. And this one is deffinitly modded, leaving me to believe that the first one we saw is a mod as well.

I'm guessing that little white bar is a 3D printed fan made mod bit.

I think MP-03 Starscream is still the reigning champ there. Between the green paint and hip kibble that one had far more haters than anything since. Well, maybe MP-04, but at least that one looked like Megatron to an extent.
They're snapped/glued back onto the front sides by the looks of it.

Dude! Good to see you back buddy unless I've just missed you in other threads.
I agree with what you're saying although out of all the problems Ironhide has, the hip kibble is what I can look over the most. Im glad some of these pictures make the neck/chest area not look so awkward. I still haven't bought him but I'm leaning towards it.

Though doing the mod isn't really past what I can do, either....

Just found that mod system and was about to post it, but you guys beat me to it. Those little bits of change make a heck of a difference really, but I don't mind the original look with the butt wheels and the hip pieces. They look like he can quickdraw a pair of six-shooters right out!

I never once said it wasn't transformable. I said it looked like the the side panels were glued on and as it turns out I was right.

It looks transformable to me, too.
Which if thats the case - a 3rd party needs to get on this right now.

Its a lot of cutting, for sure.... but... it brings up the question - why was this not the original transformation? :/
I never once said it wasn't transformable. I said it looked like the the side panels were glued on and as it turns out I was right.

Don't worry - nobody said you did!
It was adding weight to the comment about where the panels had gone, as you had previously quoted the post about them being tossed aside
Seeing the fix makes me want this toy less, until some kinda add-on comes out to switch it.

Off the top of my head I cannot think of any part on any Masterpiece figure that is as thin and frail-looking as the additional pieces required to make that mod function. It looks like something that would undoubtedly break over time. I also question how stable the van mode would be when the tires are connected with those spindly little arms.

I've been fantasizing that, what if you could some how stack his and Ratchets together to make a Med-Bay table?
