Considering this thing had to deal with the pop-out weapons gimmick, light-and-sound ackshun, the Bayverse-mandated vehicle mode accuracy, replicating the movies' hyper-greebly aesthetic, AND still being able to transform acceptably, the fact that it still kinda works and isn't just a plastic box with a GMC logo is quite impressive. Hats off to whatever overworked toy designer managed to bring it together.

I liked the attempt to merge the two designs, frankly because I think the Bay design is the overall superior look and is more fitting to Ironhide's gruff and tumble personality. Pickup also works better then Van. I feel the same about Ratchet, with him being an actual emergency vehicle and not a minivan with sirens glued on. I'm not anti-G1 or anything, but G1 Ironhide and Ratchet just have the most non-descript designs of the entire franchise; they had a windshield and that's it; because their rest of their alt mode buggered off to be an accessory. Which I think is why there is so much trouble trying to give them good looking toys.

In the voyager class figure from DOTM. All the promotional images (including the one in the video) show him with "long legs". If you own the figure, you'll notice that Ironhide has two knees which can fold backwards like a grasshopper to "shorten" his legs to a more movie accurate design. He doesn't stand very long in that pose unfortunately.
@CyberKnightMiky Жыл бұрын
The reason I think 2007 Ironhide had a blue variant is that the design may suppose to be Trailbreaker (given that he had a Diaclone variant that's blue), but since the 2007 movie was originally had Arcee but then after replaced her with him, and the designwas inspired by Trailbreaker but with personality of Ironhide, we got Bayverse Ironhide. Either way, we got this red one now.

@6:08 fun fact about that left arm cannon. In ROTF Ironhide lost that gun during the air strike attack. You see it falling off his left arm when he's stumbling out of the smoke holding his chest which was on fire as well. To make up for it Hasbro/ Takara decided to try and give him a replacement even though in DOTM he doesn't even use either of his arm cannons.

The Bayformer movies was definitely my first exposure to Ironhide, so I've always been very intrigued in his design ethic. I understand why people are so attached to G1, but I kinda wanna see new designs that blend what's best of all the iterations, too. It'd be sweet to see a new take on Iron, where he's rocking that classic redvan look and rocking two massive arm-mounted cannons.

But I still got a soft spot for this lumpy lug of plastic. The gimmicks are fun, the look is messy but fitting for the designs, do kinda wish he had the full sound lines but it's still fun, transformation is complex to be fun but not enough to be difficult....once you have it down anyway. Hoping the movie masterpiece one gets a recolor like this one.
