I like how on the box it says he bravely fights of a Decepticon ambush. More accurate to say fails to fight of a Decepticon ambush and gets his head blown off 😂
This figure is Ironhide done right! Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one that struggled with snapping together the forward part of the roof. Thought I was gonna break it
@griffinkimball2454 How do you figure? It's only "based on" that version inasmuch as there are only so many ways to make that robot fold into that style van. This is still a fairly substantial evolution of they general concept, and considerably more polished. It does have the unfortunate side effect of being made of self-destructing clear plastic, though. I'd have preferred solid colored painted windows on solid plastic. Would be much less prone to breakage, and all of the red would match.
We'll definitely get a Ratchet...but he'll likely be an exclusive that requires you to buy him in-person wearing only your finest tuxedo, entering through a tiny door and passing a live alligator.
They confirmed he would be retooled to Ratchet, same with core ratchet being retooled to ironhide, it was confirmed in the hasbro pulse show announcing both figures.
Even if it wasn't officially confirmed, the fact that he has two guns and two nubs on the top of his vehicle mode that are perfect for an ambulance light bar would confirm it.
So, it seems like I was transforming it correctly. It just tries to fight when doing the final step with the windshield. Good to know. I'm glad you mentioned it fights you, too.
Neat on the undercarriage storage of the weapons. I've just been opening the back of the van and storing them there and between the legs. They fit pretty snugly
By far this is the best Ironhide! I like this mold better than the Takara Masterpiece version IMO. I'm pretty sure reprolabels will create the yellow striping sticker for the side of the van for vehicle mode as well. Great review as always Emgo!
I think this is my new favorite Ironhide Mold. I wish Amazon hadn’t screwed around with my Earthrise Ironhide Order. I totally missed out on that mold.
Just got this one and of all the 1st Season G1 characters they've released since siege this has to be the best.All the engineering that went into this figures advanced/clever transformation makes it well worth the voyager price especially considering what the just average siege/earthrise molds go for.
Mine is being delivered from BBTS this week sometime, I can't wait. Finally, the definitive CHUG scale Ironhide! I'm excited to see what Toyhax has in store for him.
14:40 Whoops, didn't quite get full coverage! I suspect the leg panel tabbing issue may be related to the fact that the panels are the translucent (or transclearant, as you will) plastic, and may not have the best grip compared to the opaque plastics. It seems to be a common issue, but it's not the end of the world. He's still pretty fun to play around with.
I never realized that those tabs on the roof were for his guns. I'd just gone with what everyone assumed about them being meant for Ratchet's light bar... which they will probably be used for as well, but it's nice to know they serve a purpose on Ironhide. This looks really good. I feel like the only real issue I would have with the toy as designed is the yellow stripe. Aside from that, it's basically just down to QC
I know it won’t happen but I do want a movie accurate 86 prime and megatron. I know we have kingdom and earthrise prime but I want a more g1 accurate prime like a mini masterpiece and for megs I know it’s a stretch but I want a Walter p38 version of megs
I picked this guy up last month. He was the only one in the store. His guns were missing, and the glass on his chest had a scratch on it. Hating these open window package designs....
I would take a bright metallic or pearl Red paint and give him an all over paint job. Then paint all the details whatever color they call for to make it look more realistic 👍
Those leg panels barely hold together and need the chest canopy to hold them in place, and it was for me, a pain to get them into the right position. I think - and I am still not sure - it depends on the position of the shoulders because sometimes I was unable to push that thing in at all. And I fear that all this being transparent plastic it will eventually break from the strain.
I hope to one day find out why the hell Hasbro and Takara made these boxes without the plastic. It even looks like they wanted people to steal the toys.
I know this doesn't have anything to do with this particular video but I've been meaning to ask for a while in the ending scene of the knights of Unicron or the credits of dude Where's My couch the music playing during that what was that I'm not familiar with that song but it's seriously catchy
I got Core Raychet & Deluxe Bee movie Ironhide already. So I hope this has a repaint of somebody else waiting in the wings. No idea who though. No Orange stripe? Blasphemy!
12:51 I recreated this scene with Ironhide and the other autobots murdering all the Decepticons instead! I have Megatron on his knees without his head on while the other ones are just standarding around him with their arms all crazy in the air while getting shot at.
The transformation on this figure was a bit difficult to get everything to tab in exactly right, I just purchased this figure. Other then the G1 design Wich is fine.
Admittedly I was a hater of this figure (legs/feet especially), but after getting him in hand I really like him a lot. Im sure there will be a Buzzworthy Bumblebee/Premium/or Amazon exclusive with more accurate paint next year
5:57 SIege Ironhide looks like the HD version of the Studio Series... you know when you get those close-ups in HD movies and you can see every pore and patch of peach-fuzz on their face? lol Also, I always thought the G1 Ironhide/Ratchet mold looked like a Space Invader...
More seriously about the toy itself... While the foot transformation is still pretty cool, my favourite was the upper body - seeing how the bumper ends up under the windscreen like that. My bet before I saw it transform was that the chest was a false part with the van windshield hidden in the back, then when I saw the start I thought there would be a ring around the waist where the bumper would circle round to the front... when I finally saw that the _opposite_ happened and the chest swung around back to meet the bumper, I actually laughed out loud with surprise! (Since I watched this at 6am before work, this probably didn't impress my downstairs neighbours! lol) If I have a complaint about this, I'd say they could've done a bit more about those ugly hinges on the outside of the van - it feels like they could've incorporated a couple of thinner panels to make a double-hinge in each case which would've left things a little flatter (although obviously, parts costs and tooling etc wouldn't have made it very cost-effective). It just seems a shame that they did an otherwise amazing job and had those big tubes hanging out on the sides spoiling the look. As far as those window etchings go, the funny thing is that if that was a 3rd-party toy and had tampos instead of etchings (like, for example, those Cang Toys Predacons), we'd be praising it for having a Manga aesthetic! lol
This looks like the best mainline version of Ironhide that has ever been made. I would have loved to have these guys when I was a kid.
It looks a little better than the sled with a windshield for a face from G1!
I love how you can just tuck the head away and make a toy accurate Ironhide out of this
I was thinking the same thing, I might display him like that sometimes just for the heck of it.
It's also movie-accurate.
@@samdalseide5060 big oooof lol
*R E V E R S E P O O T H*
@@samdalseide5060 BROOOO
That "But Prime" in van mode was unexpected, hilarious, and something I would never have thought would happen.
I have ratchet i make ratchet say but prime in van mood
Words can’t express how quickly having it in hand has completely changed my opinion on this figure
I like how on the box it says he bravely fights of a Decepticon ambush. More accurate to say fails to fight of a Decepticon ambush and gets his head blown off 😂
When he was reviewing the Siege toyline, Emgo would slip in Ironhide in the final thoughts portion.ironhide os the reason stayed with this channel.
This figure is Ironhide done right! Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one that struggled with snapping together the forward part of the roof. Thought I was gonna break it
i hate that part lmao
His transformation was such a pleasant surprise when I got him. Hasbro went back to the drawing board and got Ironhide right.
I wouldn't say back to the drawing board, the engineering is quite clearly based on his Siege iteration
@griffinkimball2454 How do you figure? It's only "based on" that version inasmuch as there are only so many ways to make that robot fold into that style van. This is still a fairly substantial evolution of they general concept, and considerably more polished. It does have the unfortunate side effect of being made of self-destructing clear plastic, though.

thought i was done with Ironhide's but this is definitely the definitive one. Will have to get him as well as the eventual Ratchet rework.
Beautiful ironhide figure! Hopefully we get ratchet next
We'll definitely get a Ratchet...but he'll likely be an exclusive that requires you to buy him in-person wearing only your finest tuxedo, entering through a tiny door and passing a live alligator.
Pretty sure he was leaked in listings

Same.
I'm getting this figure for christmas and have been waiting for you to do a review on it!
So, it seems like I was transforming it correctly. It just tries to fight when doing the final step with the windshield. Good to know. I'm glad you mentioned it fights you, too.
Same. Mine just came in today.
I cannot stress this enough: shave down the tabs on the leg panels that clip onto the front of the roof, or your figure WILL break.
@@Ravenfellblade Will do. Thanks for the tip.
Just a theory, the pegs on his back are where ratchet’s light bar is going to go in robot mode, if they use partsforming.
Yeah thats probably what thats for on ratchet. Makes sense since he's usually a repaint of Ironhide and vise versa
The light bar would probably be split in half, so it doesn't have to be removed for transformation.
Neat on the undercarriage storage of the weapons. I've just been opening the back of the van and storing them there and between the legs. They fit pretty snugly
Really hope we get studio series 86 figures of Optimus and Galvatron.
I got mine from Target this Sunday and I love him
By far this is the best Ironhide! I like this mold better than the Takara Masterpiece version IMO. I'm pretty sure reprolabels will create the yellow striping sticker for the side of the van for vehicle mode as well. Great review as always Emgo!
That "but prime" joke makes laugh every single time jajaj
Seeing this channel evolve is beautiful. thank you for the endless videos. For our sake, dont stop. Are you hyped for the ThreeZero ROTF megatron?
I still haven't seen an Earthrise Ironhide in any store!!
I think this is my new favorite Ironhide Mold. I wish Amazon hadn’t screwed around with my Earthrise Ironhide Order. I totally missed out on that mold.
Just got this one and of all the 1st Season G1 characters they've released since siege this has to be the best.All the engineering that went into this figures advanced/clever transformation makes it well worth the voyager price especially considering what the just average siege/earthrise molds go for.
It would be scary if there's a SS86 dead Ironhide, same figure but with like broken parts and a swappable head that has a hole in it. Nice review btw
Mine is being delivered from BBTS this week sometime, I can't wait. Finally, the definitive CHUG scale Ironhide! I'm excited to see what Toyhax has in store for him.
Interesting note is on the box he has clear windows but the actual figure has blue for some reason.
14:40 Whoops, didn't quite get full coverage!

5:24 - Ironically (pun kinda intended), Ironhide was the one who actually got blooshed..... 😂😂😂😂😂
12:21 seems like the SS Fallen and Legacy Inferno are competing with this guy for your favorite figure of the year lol
I saw a short of this figure of why Hasbro doesn’t want your money. The prove that is is THIS figure!
Much better than the other ones from tho looks of it
Thanks for that, i just got him today and didn’t know how to transform him till i seen this video 💪
Just picked this guy up. Thanks for help with the transformation!
Beautiful figure! Studio Series 86 Ironhide has to be the best generations Ironhide figure ever!
I never realized that those tabs on the roof were for his guns. I'd just gone with what everyone assumed about them being meant for Ratchet's light bar... which they will probably be used for as well, but it's nice to know they serve a purpose on Ironhide.
This looks really good. I feel like the only real issue I would have with the toy as designed is the yellow stripe. Aside from that, it's basically just down to QC
At 11:33 it looks like you already got stressmarks at the middle lower panel from the left side.
I am a little bit in love with that transformation
Huh, that transformation was pretty cool.
Might get the inevitable Ratchet version if i can.
He looks cool! I love your intros! 😂😂😂😂
Which of the 86 toys is the most beautiful studio series I have jazz and hotrod and sludge and slag ,proceptor
Nice vid I haven’t got it when I wanted him for Christmas👍🏻
The seeming clearance issues with the forward roof makes me nervous
“Such heroic nonsense” - Megatron, c. 2005 (1986)
Awsome toy dude!👍👍😎😎😎
U cute
I know it won’t happen but I do want a movie accurate 86 prime and megatron. I know we have kingdom and earthrise prime but I want a more g1 accurate prime like a mini masterpiece and for megs I know it’s a stretch but I want a Walter p38 version of megs
Ooh it's time for "But prime" in vehicle form. Yes I saw your short
Still waiting on the 86 devastator
I'm personally wondering when the all opaque plastic/painted redo for Buzzworthy is going to release, ala Kup and Cliffjumper.
I just came across him last week in Target. I haven't opened him up yet.
...one more thing is no more parts forming...👍👍👍
I would say something about selling dead characters, but Hasbro and Takara are no strangers to that XD
I picked this guy up last month. He was the only one in the store. His guns were missing, and the glass on his chest had a scratch on it. Hating these open window package designs....
Got him and mini ratchet this weekend!!
Nice!
good job about Studio Series '86 Voyager IRONHIDE: EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff
I would take a bright metallic or pearl Red paint and give him an all over paint job. Then paint all the details whatever color they call for to make it look more realistic 👍
There's even moulding for the yellow stripe for those who want to blend toy and toon.
Those leg panels barely hold together and need the chest canopy to hold them in place, and it was for me, a pain to get them into the right position. I think - and I am still not sure - it depends on the position of the shoulders because sometimes I was unable to push that thing in at all. And I fear that all this being transparent plastic it will eventually break from the strain.
I just picked this up for my son today. He wants the 86 line and characters that were in 86 show/movie.
Trying to find the past ones is difficult lol
I hope to one day find out why the hell Hasbro and Takara made these boxes without the plastic. It even looks like they wanted people to steal the toys.
I saw transformers mutilated in stores and missing limbs or their head
Emgo. Heat the leg panel pieces with a hair dryer while tabbed and that will fix the tabbing problem. Did it with mine and it tabs perfectly fine 😊
I know this doesn't have anything to do with this particular video but I've been meaning to ask for a while in the ending scene of the knights of Unicron or the credits of dude Where's My couch the music playing during that what was that I'm not familiar with that song but it's seriously catchy
I got Core Raychet & Deluxe Bee movie Ironhide already. So I hope this has a repaint of somebody else waiting in the wings. No idea who though.
No Orange stripe? Blasphemy!
Im definitely getting this mold if studio series makes it ratchet
12:51 I recreated this scene with Ironhide and the other autobots murdering all the Decepticons instead! I have Megatron on his knees without his head on while the other ones are just standarding around him with their arms all crazy in the air while getting shot at.
I might get him once I find him in store
I found a person on line market place who sold me one for 15 bucks still in box
One of the more basic bot forms, but he wears it well.
You can see where the Ratchet´s recolor ambulance lights will be...
I really love this Ironhide! Can’t wait to see Ratchet 🤗
Just got an airwave and legacy lift ticket today
I love the figure but mine came missing the back right window
The transformation on this figure was a bit difficult to get everything to tab in exactly right, I just purchased this figure. Other then the G1 design Wich is fine.
Metroplex: the hands on ss86 Ironhide are the same ones on the seige mold
I just bought him & I had to brute force the windshield into him. That worries me due to clear plastic.
Just bought one from Target as a late birthday present
Optimus Prime: Ironhide, report to me at once.
Very nice figure. I just wished he was just 1 head taller.
Admittedly I was a hater of this figure (legs/feet especially), but after getting him in hand I really like him a lot. Im sure there will be a Buzzworthy Bumblebee/Premium/or Amazon exclusive with more accurate paint next year
Good joke of the day and video!
Only took 30 years to get an accurate Ironhide
💀💀
Cool video
watch the vid

I am having a hard time taking the last joint that you said "this usually gives me a hard time..." help!?
I thought for sure you were going to comment on those large hinges on either side of the alt mode, but they’re not that bad.
Stuff like that doesn’t bother me. It’s a transformer. They have have panels, they have hinges, you’re gonna see some of them.
"BUT PRIME!!"
All visible vehicle part seems are honestly master piece quality compared to universe ironhide
"But Prime.....I'm a Deluxe, not a Voyager."
this thing is amazing
The movie where Iron Hide got '86'ed.
So Earthrise vs this fig. Which is worth getting if you had to decide?
This one is better I think I have both
Will i get blocked if i say "BUT PRIME!"
Love your vid reviews. I don't buy it until I get your opinion.
Quick question the ring that you’re wearing on your finger looks like an auto bot ring. Where can I get one from that is fire
I got it from Etsy
Awesome toy.

An above average Deluxe sold at a Voyager price point with none of the bells and whistles that made Studio Series Hot Rod pop.
So, his right window parts say R1 and R2 but his left say L2 and L2. Hmm.
Do you think ironhide is made of iron?
But Emgo
Can Ironhide do the track leg mode? XD
@emgo316 do you plan to review Xtransbots Dante and Commander Stack?
