Oh, piss-flaps.... what am I gonna do? Should I get him...? SHOULD I?!?!?!
He looks a bit, I dunno, 'missing' when viewed from the front off-centre, in the flank or side area of his torso, like his arms aren't connected to much....

You're not allowed to buy him until you've bought Tracks.
It's a rule. In the small print. Somewhere.

Ironhide has piss-flaps *and* bum flaps? That's a lot of flappage he's got going on. |

Calm yourself, just think of his misshapen (in your opinion) crotch plate.

You can fashion sturdy footwear out of the cardboard packing. Two birds, one stone. Sorted.

Reports about how Ironhide is great just make me more confident about Ratchet being greater.

I still haven't managed to open mine, so I'm in a kind of Schroedinger's Ironhide situation. The one in my box might be absolutely awesome, but I've no way of knowing.

I had a shot of Andu's in robot mode. Pretty decent, larger than I had expected.

The group shots at the end of this review just make me feel sad for Jazz being AWOL. |

And makes me wonder if I am going to have to go third party for Sunstreaker and Mirage...
Dammit.

They are sorely tempting me. But I must be strong! If I can hold out until TF: Nation, it will be fine.

Mirage is the one that draws me. He looks spot on to me. Sunstreaker I can wait for. Not sure about Badcube. 3P has to be a very precise need for me now to want to spend the cash. Pretty much top draw masterpiece fillers. So Fans Toys basically.
Er, on topic, my Ironhide is still unopened. Having too much fun with other stuff.

Mirage is the one that draws me. He looks spot on to me. I found out the other day that one of the 3rd party Mirages (I think it was Sphinx) was actually designed by a Takara designer. |

Ooh! Does that make it official? Sphinx to me looks exactly what MP Mirage should be.

No it does not make it official.

It's like this. Back in the 80's I had a Spitting Image comic. In it, Lee Sullivan drew a Transformers parody strip. Despite it being actually funny, and drawn by someone who had worked on official Transformers, and it was published, it did not make it in any small tiny way a Transformers product. Just because someone used to do official work, does not mean that whatever they do in the future is even slightly official.  |

The group shots at the end of this review just make me feel sad for Jazz being AWOL. Yes, Jazz is the open wound in my MP collection. And Mirage. I am still concerned that Ironhide and Ratchet are too tall and slim. It's the pelvis area, it looks out if proportion. But I accept it appears to be a better figure than I feared. |

Ironhide looks much better in person, he just doesn't seem to photograph well. Too tall though! Yes I know it's Sunbow accurate, but in my head everyone was the same size!!
