Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-06 Ironhide Official Image

I’m really impressed with the material too. I thought it’d be that usual brittle 3D material but this seems quite durable

Yeah me too! My heavy iron guns were completely intact after being shipped in an envelope from Taiwan. I am also pleased with the material.

@World Prime I got the Ironhide piece today. Overall, I’m relatively satisfied with it. It holds the chest in place well enough, though the way the designer molded the piece gives Ironhide a chest orientation that unplugs the bottom from those clips. Also, the arm ratchets are tight enough that the pieces still move slightly, but obviously no where near what it was beforehand. I may get around to painting it, I may not. It’s actually not that visible in most cases.

I still want a third party to make a dedicated add on kit to tackle this issue better than this 3D piece, and maybe even address the forearm panels and the horrible panels on the back of the arms. But this piece does what it’s designed to do, which is hold the chest together when posing better than without it. Enjoy. Also if anyone wants more pics, just ask

Oh wow you have to unplug the shoulders? That doesn't seem necessary. Is the placement that it forces him into at least movie-accurate? And I would definitely suggest painting it. Just give it a quick spray of black and you'll never notice it again. Glad you're relatively happy though!

Pretty sure there's no way to upgrade the panel-y arms and shoulders other than if they would make a new figure entirely. As much as I would like for an upgrade kit, there's no way that it's gonna solve all those problems. There's also that inaccurate wheel placement, which is more accurate on the ss. But this is more of a display piece, so if you pose it and tuck the panels away, you won't see em

I think if you re-did the forearms (including the hands, which don't open all the way) you'd fix most of the problems with this figure. The shoulder issue can be fixed to a satisfying degree with future, at least on mine.

The SS has left me a bit dissatisfied due to the amount of paint work that is needed to achieve the movie look…what is the factory leaked version from tfdirect? Is it a ko? And is it at least an improved version?

Leaked version isnt a ko nor an improvement, iitsjust cheaper than the rretail version, on quality i think its a mixed, just luck having a no problem figure

I love them together very much! Now looking out for jazz and hopefully next year Ratchet!

Got em! So badass and I actually prefer them to the cannons. Plus the back mount makes it so much more fun to have display options! I might drill small holes into his default cannons so they can store too. I am happy to say that if you give capcomkai your money he WILL deliver!

Came as three 3D printed pieces plus the metal rods for the back mount. They came in white but I plan to spray them metallic black and add silver highlights with maybe a little gold:

You have to transform the back differently to get the mount on. It's not hard to figure out:

Here he is with them back mounted. I think I might display him like this since shelf space is tight. However he looks totally badass with them in his hands too! I really wish he had come with these in the first place. I think they learned their lesson with accessories though, since MPM Megatron and Jazz are coming with a lot more than the others have. If you have had a good experience with your Ironhide and want that extra badassery then I highly recommend these! He's also selling shoulder and arm tab stabilizers. The only reason I didn't get them is cause the shipping would have increased dramatically to have them all in one box. Enjoy and tell me what you think! I'll be posting more pics once I've painted them.

He shipped my chest locking piece out today, so hopefully I’ll get it soon! Guns look good, show more pics when you paint them up

The guns Ironhide used in DOTM and a brace for the hood halves. Both designed by Tim(?) and sold by Capcomkai.

lol, i forgot about those

wait, 3d parts for what exactly?

Megatron118

Did you get your 3D printed part yet? I haven’t received mine, but I think it’s because of CNY

Ugh so the package arrived on wednesday, but the mail person didn't deliver it and instead left a slip. I went TWICE to the post office to try and get it and TWICE they told me it hadn't arrived off the undelivered mail truck yet. Yesterday I was busy so I have to pick them up tomorrow. I'll of course post pics right away, although they come in a generic white plastic so I'll be spraying them silver and black ASAP.

I agree, they should take more liberties with making inaccuracies to make a much more functional figure. I say this as a displayer as well, I still respect players and if they're unhappy with a result they reserve the right to criticize the figure for its playability since that's what these are for primarily beyond display.

I disagree. Compromises are for mainline figures. This is the MPM line, intended for collectors and meant to be the most screen accurate versions of the characters. We've already had over ten years of compromised Ironhides for things like playability and gimmicks, so choose one of those if you want something that can be handled more. I want ONE damn figure who actually looks like the movie as much as possible. I'm not saying this figure is perfect, but when it comes to looking like the movie, they did a really great job. Not to mention that if it weren't for the QC issues, this one WOULD be very playable too! As it stands it's really just the arms that keep him from being the best Ironhide figure ever in every way.
