More images have been shared via Weibo from the 6th SGC Fanscon. These ones show off a new upcoming release from TFC Toys, which is a very boxy version of Generation 1 Ironhide. It might be the angle of the image, but it looks like Ironhide’s upper body is much bulkier than his lower body – check out the images and see what you think.

iIgear looks good IF you have a larger Optimus Prime larger than 7” inches.
Otherwise he is too tall. Depending on my mood I swap between IGear Ironhide and Planet-X Ironhide with a 7.5-8” inch Optimus Prime (Striker Manus and Optus Pexus respectively).

Tony (chimmungmung and robotoybase) might still have Ratchet:

He did have Ironhide maybe two weeks ago as i found it helping a guy on FB track down a non Takara MP Ratchet and Ironhide – but Ironhide looks sold out now.
But still might be worth emailing to ask?

long shot but anyone wanting to sell theirs? ratchet at least pops up occasionally on ebay, but the only ironhides on there are overpriced and i haven't found any on the bst here from after 2019 that haven't been sold lol

Yeah, iGear Ironhide will be roughly the same size as Classics or Siege Optimus, and shorter than MP10v, Striker Manus, or Combiner Wars Optimus. It's basically a Voyager-sized figure. TFC's isn't MP in design or quality, but it's in the same scale as MP Ironhide.

So an Igear Ironhide wouldn't look out of place in a mostly deluxe and voyager collection? Cant decide on which ironhide to get.

Sorry to necro, but what Optimus is that?

Had him. Sold him and a few others. I was focused on my G1 line at that moment and had considered him for IDW along with Old soldier's Hound which I owned and sold both. They are easy to come by.

189 yuan = $27.25? Hell no, don't wait! That's a fantastic price
Mark Fuller
I waited. Done another search and found it for 189 yuan. Cheers mate. U think i should still wait till friday?
Chareos
Being Black Friday week, there might be even a more cRaZY deal on these figs. Might pay to wait a few days.

Same here, I replaced MP Ironhide with him, I think he fits the role better in my collection.

Awesome fig, but… Watch out for his rearview mirrors!!! His articulation isnt the best either, but I still think he is a great rendition of Ironhide!
Crim
BTW, BBTS has him for $40. I'm not exactly a fan of the design but that price has me way more interested in him (totally worth it at that price, to me).

Ye cheers. I like the look. Might have to grab it.

I like both version of the mold. If you like the look, I'd jump on it at that price.
Mark Fuller
So i was looking at the ratchet version which i can't find a thread for. Is he worth getting for 250 yuan? I don't have a ratchet yet and not sure i want it to look exactly the same as the mp ironhide i have. This looks like a perfectly good/ cheap option.

Not necessarily contemporary, but these guys are more in line with the modern scaling of Deluxes and Voyagers.

He’s far more MP scale than CHUG scale, unless you want a big ‘ole hulking Ironhide.
I got him specifically for an IDW-ish MP collection, so as far as that’s concerned, he’s great, if a little less solid compared to something like Op Ex.
If you’re more in that hardcore cartoon-accuracy flat-dull-and-boring-textures camp, then he’s probably not for you.
