With the recent closed door q&a, Hasbro explained that Netflix soundwave was in a contract lock with Walmart. They said they couldn't rerelease it unless Walmart wanted to. I imagine the Amazon stuff is the same: they probably want to redo it, but can't until the contract runs out.

That's commitment!

The lazy eyebrow reviewer is the best person that make stop motion in the world I love the transformation for Ironhide where he transforms and then the roof falls off mid transformation grabs and put on on the roof 19:57

Wow, that animation at the end. That clunk sound when he put the roof on. That was just brilliant.

ER ironhide is exactly why I preferred Guard as my ironhide seeing as he is *technically* movie colored since there was a g1 repaint as part of a Japanese 07 movie celebration line with a lime green ratchet and I absolutely LOVE those colors.

Despite your dislike of this mold, I'm still happy you were able to get your Ironhide in a state where you can look at it and only cringe at the partsforming! Seriously though, even unaligned the waterslides look nifty, he's in a much better shape than he was in your 2021 customs video.

In stark contrast to my verbosity with my previous comments… I will simply say that I laughed hysterically throughout this review. Favorite part? When Ironhide grabbed his roof and slapped it on at the end of his transformation. Kudos to a job well done!

I love the iron hide customisation it looks very retro with the matched red paint and windows

I did not expect to see me but, man, what a job with Ironhide.

Siege Sideswipe: wow someone has designed a near perfect version of the toy I wanted as a kid-I think I will start collecting these amazing toys. Earthrise Ironhide:someone at Hasbro has realised that because I've been collecting all those excellent figures that I'll buy this unfinished toy that is almost disrespectful to me as a customer. Ironhide ruined the good feels I had for Hasbro and played a big part in pushing me to start looking at 3rd party figures. More fool me for buying Ironhide.

I agree with ur take on both figures. I love prowl but he was lacking in places so i got ur headlights from shapeways and did some paint work and toyhax and now he is awesome. Last night i painted ironhide using gundam paint pens and he looks way better then he did. Still not perfect, but better. At least i made all the red color match. The multi colors were bugging me so now its good.

I always thought Shattered Glass made sense. The universe of evil alternates has been enshrined as a science fiction classic for a reason. Plus it's an excuse to not even try to do anything beyond recolour your figures for a "new toyline", so from a business perspective it was probably Simmons's greatest success ever.

This set is fine, but I am really glad the Vannettes are getting new figures in SS86, Ironhide really reeks of being a retool. Prowl is pretty decent though, I would be happy with a rerelease (though I imagine there would be some kind of exclusivity issue with Amazon). Overall I would rank it as a 3/5, not bad, not great, definitely not worth the crazy prices it goes for imo.

And then the 86 ironhide comes in and is like hey you want a new iron hide? Well I’m here now

The exclusive packs is why I stopped collecting the g1 figures, I really hate getting known that the figures we want are the figures that are hard-to-get cause they're exclusive to that only store.

Awesome custom man

I find it fascinating to see how you customize your mainline figures. I value alt modes too. It's kind of frustrating sometimes how unfinished the car modes in WFC and Legacy lines can get. I'm curious why you don't collect Masterpiece figures if you value alt mode accuracy so much? Is it cost or availability? Or is there another reason? I primarily collect mainline too, but I have a few official and third party MP's and love the detail on them. But they are definitely very expensive.

@OfficialFinnTDK

Жыл бұрын

I'm not Lazy Eyebrow, but from what I can see and understand why he doesn't collect MP figures anymore is because of heavy toon-accuracy aesthetics with the recent MPs. With the release of MP-44 and onwards (not counting MP Skids), many MP collectors were turned off due to how ridiculously overpriced they are, too many accessories that are featured from one scene from one episode that people don't care about, the transformation engineering is borderline difficult than MP-36, heavy usage of faux parts and the quality control issues are off the charts from many reports which led to many MP collectors resort to mainline instead.

I think I came up with one last solution for Ironhide's vehicle mode, a new shoulder to complete the look. "But that would make the the shoulder in robot mode have vehicle parts on the front, and that's not G1 accurate! Everyone knows it MUST be!" Well, don't worry sir! All you would have to make it do is swing the arm up 180, rotate the shoulder 180, and rotate the bicep 180! This way the front of the shoulder can still retain the G1 accurate look, while vehicle mode doesn't have a random black cube jutting out of the side! (This may be a stretch)

What a clean animation at the end

I really want a good 280ZX Prowl, and this version fits the bill, but I'm not gonna drop Masterpiece prices on an Earthrise figure. Prowl was my first of the "car" Transformers (Windcharger was the first over all), so I'd like to add him back to my collection. With any luck Hasbro will drop a SS86 Prowl on us (with burned out eyes action feature!) and I can get a decent Fairlady Cop Car.

Suggestion for paint If you use spray paint from hardware stores like Home Depot etc then use model spray paint instead, brands like Tamiya, Mr. Color, Testors. Find the right brand that you like the best and when you clear coat it, wait at least 24hrs for the paint to fully harden

Hey lazyeyebrow what do you think about the ss86 ironhide figure.

Awesome!

9:09 I realized Simmons' boss' suit is ironhide with red shirt and yellow tie stripe. 😂

I just picked up Code Red, the _Stranger Things_ tie-in figure that was retooled from this mold, and wow, what a step up it is. It's not perfect, it still has pointless translucent plastic, some curious color mismatching, and somewhat thicker gaps in the hinges. But on the other hand, it has proper Earth wheels, the shoulders are hidden away inside the alt mode, everything (mostly) aligns, there's no partsforming with the roof, and the feet fold away out of sight to allow for a proper back of the van. And the front grill looks like one of the pieces YOU made. lol

I have DK-2 Guard, and believe it or not he is an improvement over Ratchide... Visually, the feet in the back and wheels are still a problem (something I intend to fix with 3D-printed parts) but the black does wonders to help conceal/hide the vehicle mode flaws, and the clear plastic used for the windows is a darker variety (which I have heard may be a stronger type), which when combined with the mostly black inside of the vehicle goes a long way to hiding the obvious robot bits inside

Great review. It always bugged me that the old Ironhide with the panelled windows got such a bad rep and yet this one, although more in line with the vehicle the G1 model was based on, is actually worse. I don't know how we can go from genuine vehicle accuracy into robot with car parts in G1 to getting a severely compromised vehicle mode just to get more articulation. It shouldn't be that hard.

I think your paint job looks pretty good.

There is ONE merit I found to the partsforming Vanette molds that I find pretty neat, but it more applies to Ratchet than Ironhide. I recently confirmed from a friend of mine in Japan that van-based ambulances are still primarily the norm, whilst box cabin ambulances that Animated and Prime Ratchet were are not all that common. However, those have slightly modified roofs that I shared in the Vehicles section on the Discord. I'd argue that the ER mold is great for making those Japanese ambulances with the modified roofs, if anyone is interested in trying such a custom. One could potentially also try this custom on their Siege Ratchets, even if it introduces partsforming into a mold that didn't need it.

Good grief, why is it so hard to do a decent Ironhide? And yeah, transparent plastic...

But if all the robot is plainly visible in there, just hide it with OPAQUE plastic. 11:05 - omg... He's based on a concept car set in a future that didn't happen. Does it REALLY matter?
