Hmm..why are the two red tabs on the shoulder not flip down to secure it?
Forgotten somehow? Lol

Got to spend a little time these past two day playing with MP IronHide. At certain angles the car mode looks really small But then in the right angles it's not small and fits in good. Robot mode Small compact car mode and in robot mode, much bigger Comparison with Optimus Prime. With Thundercracker. I was initially gonna skip this MP release cause I didn't like the preview photos. But after I saw how good he was next to Starscream, I really wanted it. My collections of official MP's With some 3p MP's. Notice that MP-28 HotRod snuck into the picture in vehicle mode I will end with this "such heroic nonsense" And preview on the next MP I will take a look at.

I had a chance to mess around with a friends' Ironhide yesterday and ... man. He's really good. Like really good. The transformation is really well designed and while the hip skirts are a questionable design choice, in the end he still looks and feels great in hand. I'm definitely going to pick up Ratchet (I prefer him to IH) later this year.

Can't really go wrong with either. I personally like Ratchet better. But I am not gonna get Ratchet. I usually don't buy the same mold. Made an exception for the seekers due to the lack of decepticons. And even with the seekers, it's Starscream and Thundercracker only. Could never remember Skywarp as a kid. I like Ratchet better cause Vans are used as ambulances. Also, I dislike the G1 IronHide character the same reason I dislike Bumblebee. Their vehicle mode, one being a van and one being VW bug, just plain sucks. At least that's how I felt as a 5 year old kid. It wasn't until I saw picture of someone posing the MP IronHide and Starscream together that I got interested. It is much better in person vs the 2D picture. It's a figure that's hard to capture.
I like the engineering on this figure and not too bothered by them waist skirts or asswheels. There is one thing I don't like about the transformation is that there aren't much clearances and parts rub up against each other. The side door, part that fold down from the thighs to the side of the lower legs. There is a small catch tab that this side door has to go behind. The tab helps hold the door part in place and locks. When looking at review, reviewers just fold the door down and snap it in place. That can easily chip the paint cause the outer parts of the vehicle mode is painted. Also the back windshield and the way it folds. It rubs up against the top of the back roof. Mine is starting to get scratches and blemish because parts are rubbing up against it during transformation.

IH is pretty awesome. I had some expectation before I opened him up but the transformation sequence really impressed me. The way the chest folds up and the legs form are fantastic. He does not photo well for some reason but in person he is so much better.

Did the shoulder swap fix last night. Was supposed to be a 5 minute fix but took me a hour and a half because I dropped a small piece on the floor. Took a long time to locate it. Anyway, it's more of a cosmetic fix and doesn't add much to it. Once done in robot mode, when you view him from the top, you don't see the ratcheting teeth. It was assembled correctly as the parts are marked L and R. But they made the change for MP Ratchet and it looks much better. It also raised the shoulder up slightly.

Paik4Life did a video to fix it : And you can buy the (expensive) TransFusion TFS-01 Upgrade Kit for MP-27 Ironhide c:
