eBay seller Lena81822 has some loose Cloud Ironhide figures up, giving us an in-hand look at the figure. The deco for this pulls from Transformers Energon Ironhide and slaps in on Generations Roadbuster. When it hits the auction sites like this it usually means it’s getting ready to drop.

Then why did you bid on it!?

I don't get all the hate for this mold. Sure it's not perfect and needs wrist swivels but really I think it's at least average.

He looks great, but I would've preferred white over that beige.

i think i may be the only tf fan in the world who likes energon ironhide
i do really like this, if only it weren't so pricey…

I like how how this looks.
RodimusZero
I think it looks quite good. Much better than the gaudy Roadbuster colors…
Glad I preordered it.

He may be potentially one of the worst characters ever, but this is gorgeous. It's a shame they couldn't make a new head for him, but that one still works pretty well.

I like it for the most part, but it needs a better head sculpt.
Fire up the 3D printers!
phoenixliger

I may pick this up just to put a new head on him

I loathed the character of Energon Ironhide but I would honestly buy this.
It's definitely one of my favorite out of the box thinking repaint as of late.

Is it wrong for me to think the mold looks better in red and blue instead of orange and green

This mold would make a pretty cool targetmaster crosshairs with a new head. The color scheme looks similar

I'm in your boat. I'm surprised so many people hate him. I like him… I just don't $90 like him. Hopefully all of the hatred will make the price on him go down. I'll be monitoring the auctions…

I'm surprised how much some people seem to hate this figure. It seems like a fairly inoffensive toy to me… decent-but-not-amazing mold (in my opinion just needed wrist swivels), pretty standard Transformers color scheme (red and blue is almost the default color scheme for the franchise), decent set of weapons. I can understand not liking it, but actively hating it strikes me as odd. That's the kind of hate you reserve for, say, Takara announcing that Masterpiece Jazz will an upscaled repaint of FOC Jazz, or something.
Anyway, I think this guy looks fine. Not amazing, but fine. He looks no more like a knockoff than any other modern figure. He's not worth the price he'll sell for, certainly, but that's practically the gimmick of the Cloud line.
I'll probably get him. Not sure where he'll fit in the collection, or who he'll be. I'll probably lump him in with Classics Hot Shot and the upcoming Armada Megatron as another continuity-jumper from the AEC universe.

Looks like a pound shop bootleg

It burns my eyes to look at it

Yeah, the original toy AND character were pretty deplorable. BUT I actually think this is a decent repaint. I think the gun-metal gray tones down the bright color scheme a bit. I might just get him!
That said, I'd have loved a Dorvack orange/brown version. Maybe Botcon or TFCC will release a Junkion character in the original pre-TF color scheme.
