Leakin’ Lubricant – MP-27 is on the scene! Takara-Tomy’s Masterpiece Ironhide has dropped and today we have an in hand look with over 100 detailed images. Ironhide features a classic alt mode of a Nissan Vanette and transforms into a fully functioning bot, this time with a head :). The bot mode is closer to cartoon accurate and the whole van turns into the bot. No sled here except for the extra weapons storage platform they give you which resembles it. Multiple accessories including alternate hands, hand weapons, faces and guns are present – there is even a jetpack with firing exhaust parts! Bottom line, Ironhide is a core G1 character and this modern rendition hits all the right notes.
Let the pics speak for themselves though – we’ve attached some key shots to this story and you can check the entire set of images (100+) here: TFW2005’s MP-27 Masterpiece Ironhide Full Gallery.
He’s out now and shipping, grab yours over at site sponsor TFSource: MP-27 Masterpiece Ironhide @ TFSource.

Really? Necessary to bump two ancient threads for this? You don't happen to work for Shadow Fisher do you?

I received my ironhide today. I agree with the posters above that this figure is amazing. Both mods look great, transformation is really cool but not overly complicated, no loose mess like some figures out there.
This is a great figure through and through. Definitely worth the money. Way better than the dissapointing Tracks.

I just received this figure today and I have to say that Takara hit this one out of the park. The transformation is complex but not overly difficult. The joints all click into place nicely and panels disappear into legs. The only thing that People could be frustrated about are the hip side flaps but they do not bother me.
All in all this figure is constricted very well. he is sturdy and not overly tight anywhere. The paint application on mine was excelent. I also love how the back of the head fin slides forward to make it easier to remove face plate.
I think this is one of the best figures they have made in a long time from an engineering standpoint.

I love the group shot of him with his Autobot pals.
Great looking MP.

LOL, it's all good heck I didn't even notice it. It's your signature now so you have to do it from here on out, maybe even make a Where's Waldo game out of it. LOL

Haha, I know your pain, I noticed it when I was halfway through making my own gallery that I forgot that belly piece.
Great pics

Yeah I also had major doubts with it but he's great in hand and a must buy Masterpiece. The articulation and poseability are top notch.

A lot of my concerns about this fig went out the window after transforming him. The transformation is really quite brilliant! He expands a lot, and soo many accessories! The cherry red is brilliant in person. He's quickly becoming my fave masterpiece! I could use a couple more faceplates to get more of that kick-butt attitude on his mug though!

Aww its alright bro. The pics are killer regardless. Ol' Tyre buns is pretty awesome imo.

That last pic… my inner child is so damn happy right now.

For me, and I had doubts from the initial images, now I have him in hand, I think Ironhide is the best Masterpiece figure so far.
He's awesome.

The MP Autobot line up is coming along quite nicely.

Actually, you know what's crazy, I did do that, but had to reverse to figure something that wasn't fitting, and must've retucked it. Sonofa.

Always have to fuck up the transformation some how. Every. Time.

I see Optimus decided to not fold out the bottom sides at the back of his truck mode to make his old friend feel better about forgetting to fold out his belly flap.
Seriously though, these are great pics.
