ToyWorld's Orionvil (3rd Party Nemesis Prime)

When deciding to choose the most applicable word to describe my outlook on Orionvil, it would have to be "bi-polar" because he is absolutely great as a robot, but his transformation is perhaps the most convoluted mess of parts I have ever experienced with any type of Transformer (including MP-05, Masterpiece Megatron, which is a piece of cake compared to Orionvil).  Being a redeco of ToyWorld's Orion (their version of Optimus Prime), he was available at BBTS for roughly $110, and he looked great in the photos.  This was perhaps a most negative version of "judging a book by it's cover" because the looks in this case were very deceiving. 

Like the name suggests, Orionvil transforms into a semi-trailer hauler in the same size class as the Voyager class figures like Brainstorm and Springer.  His packaging is very simple; nothing ornate or eye-catching.  He arrives in robot form in the package, with instructions, accessories, and a baseball card-size bio card.  Given ToyWorld's track record with previous releases, I had expected something decent, having purchased Roar, their version of Dinobot Snarl, and absolutely loved it.  What I got was a 2 hour transforming nightmare, so let's get right down to it.

The instructions, which start to falter 2/3rds of the way through, are clearly an exercise in deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics.  Although the parts in each step are somewhat highlighted, it is damn near impossible to figure out the angles, turns, and tabs unless you have access to a YouTube review, which I fortunately did.  Orionvil inherited all the same issues that Orion had.  One might think Toyworld would have done a bit of redesign based upon the negative feedback of Orion, but that certainly wasn't the case here.  The directions start out with the legs, which are not too confusing; I was able to handle that on my own, but when you get to Orionvil's chest which is essentially the front cab of the truck, the nightmare truly begins.

I don't think even Toyworld knew the correct steps to take since you have to insert tabs into the grill for one section, such as the 3 panel red tinted window, UNtab that to get the front hubs inserted, then REinsert the tabs again from the same front window.  Even the reviewer on YouTube noted how the directions do not follow a proper sequence, and he was much more positive about Orionvil than I am, and all the while you are transforming him, you have to be absolutely careful not to break these tabs, otherwise nothing will hold together.

Orionvil was so badly designed that the well hubs over the front wheels aren't even attached (a lesson I learned the first time around).  You have to hold them in place while swiveling them downwards from the inner torso of the robot, and then make sure the tab into the grill properly, which means undoing the tabs on the 3 panel window (AGAIN).  Much like G1 Optimus, the arms fit into the sides of the truck to become part of the solid unit, and that move is probably the last thing you want to do.  Unfortunately, I cannot give you a correct sequence regarding the front, but somehow, someway, it does eventually come together.  You just need a lot of patience and ingenuity to figure out the tab mess.

Once fully transformed, Orionvil doesn't look half bad.  He certainly resembles G1 Optimus in most ways, right down to the Freightliner model of truck that Optimus was based on.  I'm not sure if ToyWorld ever designed an accompanying trailer for him, but that would have been cool.  You can insert his blaster into the back wall of the cab for placement, which leaves his other two accessories (battle axe and small size matrix on the sidelines.

Now, here comes my polar opposite stance on Orion after such a horrid transformation.  When you get him back into robot mode, he truly is one of the most engaging robots out there.  His articulation either equals or surpasses Marvel Legends, which I use as a gold standard for comparison.  Arms, legs, torso, and waist have so many points of maneuverability that he makes for some great photos.

The light-piping in his head is excellent.  The battle axe, which fits over either hand, is a direct homage to the Optimus/Megatron battle over the Sherman Dam from the G1 cartoon.  And you best be careful with that axe- it is solid and very sharp!  I nicked a finger handling it the first time around.  His blaster, in comparison to his size, is huge, but it compliments rather than condemns the whole robot.

The worst aspect of his robot mode is the front bumper fender, which ironically fits behind him.  There is nothing holding it there in place, and it gets in the way of swiveling his waist.  The hood of his cab mode makes some appealing wings.

So, is he worthy of Nemesis Prime?  I would certainly say so, since the transformation is, well, quite a Nemesis in itself, but his robot is Prime.

Transformers Masterpiece MP-18 Streak

Is he Bluestreak even if he's not blue? Or is he Silverstreak? His packaging refers to him as Streak, dropping the color completely. That said, I've always preferred his original name of Bluestreak so that's what I'm going to go with.

Bluestreak is the Autobot chatter box that looks a whole lot like that major jerk, Prowl. But he's not Prowl. He's actually nice! 

Vehicle Mode:

Bluestreak's alt-mode is a Datsun Fairlady Z. This version of the toy uses the darker silver and black bonnet of the cartoon model for Bluestreak. The original toy was a brighter silver and lacked the black (and an MP has been made of this color scheme as well).

It's a very nice looking car. Given the way he transforms there are less panel lines than many other figures to give away that this is not just a model car. You can see some of the robot mode through the windscreen but I don't think it's too distracting.

Where would a Masterpiece Autobot be without the old gun-on-the-roof bit? Apart from Prowl who uses his light bar the other versions of this mold require you to flip out a small piece attached to the roof to plug the gun into. This doesn't interfere at all with the alt- or robot-modes but does require slightly more effort to achieve than just plugging the gun into the roof.

Transformation:

Lifting up the roof and untabbing and opening the doors leaves you with two distinct chunks to transform. The back end of the car is the legs and the front is the upper body. I tend to start with the legs but it doesn't really matter.

Split the rear of the car in half. The side and back of each chunk becomes the foot while the center part becomes the lower leg. There are two panels on the underside that need to be rotated down, then the side of the section can be untabbed. It's on a double hinge with will allow it to swing out and down. Pull the lower leg down on a double hinge to straighten out the leg. Then fold the panels back in on the base of the foot and fold the side window down against the the base of the foot. Repeat on the other side and the legs are done.

From under the hood untab and swing down what will be the arms. This will allow the head to rotate through the gap in the hood and for the mirrors to swing down and hold the head in place. Split the arms and rotate the sections they are attached to up. The whole hood section will rotate forward to tab into the lower chest panel with the shoulders fitting into the gaps left by folding in the mirrors. Flip out the shoulder launchers (if you want. I have them up on Bluestreak because he had them in the cartoon) and fold up the car roof onto the back.

Robot mode:

Look at that handsome robot. This is the classic Autobot silhouette. Car hood chest and door wing kibble. Classic.

Some red is introduced here to make Bluestreak a bit more visually interesting. Black and dark silver work in car mode but would've been a bit dull for the robot. As most of this is done by casting particular parts in different colored plastic you won't have to stress about paint wear while transforming him.

The head sculpt is really nice. The bright silver face and blue eyes (the only blue on Bluestreak!) stand out against his otherwise darker color scheme. The glossy black of his chest also shows up dust really well - oops! His helmet is different to Prowls. The crest is wider but the fins are smaller. This goes a long way to helping the pair feel like their own characters and not just repaints of each other. It's also cartoon accurate!

Bluestreak has slightly better than average articulation for an MP Autobot. Double-jointed elbows from his transformation and ball joints in his shoulders give him a lot of range. That is then hampered to a degree by his massive chest. Oh well.

His big feet mean that he balances well. Running, fighting, dancing - Bluestreak can do it all.

The only accessory this release of Bluestreak comes with is his blaster. It's styled after the gun his original toy came with. This tabs into his hand very securely and he looks great wielding it.

As a pre-order bonus from certain retailers you could get one shoulder launcher based on those the original toy had. You got the other by pre-ordering Prowl. To get a complete set you had to pre-order both and even then only one bot got a full set. These plug into the smaller launchers built into the toy. 3rd party companies have released their own launchers if you feel he really needs them.

Final Thoughts:

Another solid figure in the Masterpiece line. Like the Sideswipe mold it's great that you have choice if you're looking to pick up a version of this toy. To date there are five versions - Prowl, Smokescreen, cartoon Bluestreak, all silver Bluestreak and the Diaclone colored "Blue Bluestreak". While I do like the Sideswipe mold more this is by no means a bad toy. If you're a fan of the character, or the car, or just thinks this looks cool I'm sure you'll enjoy owning it.

Transformers Masterpiece MP-21 Bumblebee

Pretty much every Transformers series has a character that fills the 'kid friendly' role. Often this character is yellow. This goes all the way back to the original cartoon and the little yellow 'Bot who is the subject of this review - Bumblebee.

Bumblebee is a very memorable character from the G1 cartoon. He was one of the first Transformers seen on screen and was a main cast member throughout the first two seasons of the show. And along with Optimus Prime he's easily the most merchandised Autobot in the franchise. 

Vehicle mode:

Bumblebee transforms into a Volkswagen Beetle. While the original toy was a squashed approximation of the Beetle Masterpiece Bumblebee is properly proportioned.

This mode is very well done. The spare wheel cover is removable. There's a little black plug inside it that can be used to give him an approximation of a number plate. I say approximation because there's nothing actually printed on it.

Bumblebee can't do the gun-on-the-roof thing most other MPs do. Instead there is storage for his gun under the front of the car. You can also plug the spare wheel with the gun if you'd prefer not to have it attached to the back of the car.

Transformation:

Start by untabbing the doors and swinging the whole front of the car out. There's a small gap above the waist for a small section of the hood that is left behind. With the legs straight and the feet flipped out it's a simple matter to fold in the wheels and wrap the doors around the back of the feet.

For the upper body untab the arms from the back of the car and swing the side panels down. Then you can untab the arms from the sides of the car and adjust them into position. The rear of the car is on a hinge that lets you lift it up and spin it around. Fold the bumper in and collapse it onto Bumblebee's back and you've got a tiny, adorable yellow robot.

Robot mode:

This toy really does deserve the title of Masterpiece when you look at his robot mode. The proportions are spot on. Big car hood feet, car roof chest and his distinct horned helmet make this undeniably G1 Bumblebee.

He's also very small, only standing half as tall as the other MP Autobot cars. This is true to the G1 animation model size charts. The transformation works well to get a scale Beetle (admittedly a small car) into a properly small robot.

Bumblebee comes with two face options - happy and neutral. A third option for his toy face mask was included if the figure was ordered off of Amazon (although some other retailers got the alternate face as well). They plug in at the helmet crest. On mine they plug in very securely and can be a bit tricky to swap out.

Bumblebee also includes a small gun. It's a very generic pistol. The guns included with Ironhide and to be included with Ratchet are done in the same style.

Bumblebee's poseability is on par with the other MP figures. The one thing he lacks that the others have is jointed hands. And given just how small his hands are this is no surprise. Otherwise I've had not trouble getting him into running or shooting poses. His big feet actually help keep him stable more so than some of the other MPs.

Exo-Suit:

 Because Bumblebee is so small a transforming figure of the exo-suit worn by Spike and Daniel in The Transformers: The Movie was included with him. Some sources say this is Daniel and others Spike. I think Spike is more likely given his relationship with Bumblebee but the face is so small and generic it can easily work as either. The suit is decently poseable and it's transformation is straight forward enough. It's a nice bonus but I don't think I'd have missed it if Bumblebee had been released without and slightly cheaper.

Final Thoughts:

Bumblebee is a really good figure. I know there are a number of fans out there who are more than a little sick of the yellow guy given how heavily merchandised he has been due to the Bay-verse movies. But if you're collecting Masterpiece figures I'd recommend checking him out. You've also got options now with both a gold G2 version and a red version available.

Star Wars The Black Series Captain Phasma

After four months of searching just about every retail store in my area on a regular basis and failing to find her, I finally ordered The Black Series Captain Phasma from Amazon (paid a 50% mark-up, but at this point, I was willing to do it).  She was the most wanted figure in my collection for The Black Series, as I just loved her overall aesthetic and presence.  As Falldownthemountain noted, she turned out to be a bit of a disappointment in The Force Awakens; barely having any lines or action sequences, but there is always the next film.

Unlike S.H. Figuarts or other high end articulated productions, this Phasma barely moves.  Sure, she has several joints and swivels, but she is hampered by a rubber/plastic cape that restricts movement of any kind, except for her right arm holding the blaster.  I haven't tried it, but I suspect if one popped off her head, the cape could be removed, and limb/joint movement would be a bit better, but not by much.  In short, she is a very blocky figure, lacking the looseness to pose her in any kind of action sequence.

What Hasbro *did* get right, however, was the accuracy of Phasma's likeness.  The sculpt is spot-on, the proportions of Gwendoline Christie's body are perfect.  Ms. Christie is a tall, beautiful woman, and capturing that in scale to the other Black Series figures is the key to a successful toy.  When eyeballing the figures on my shelf, I saw she was even a bit taller than Darth Vader, so here is a comparison pic of Kylo Ren, Phasma, and Vader for scale:

In proportion to the First Order Stormtroopers, she towers above them like a true Captain should, both in physicality and presence.  Something tells me that if Disney really lets her loose, she would be a true force to be reckoned with, provided she survived the trash compactor.

Unique Toys Y-02 Data Courier Buzzing (3rd Party Blurr)

The Transformers: The Movie was a game changer for the original cartoon version of The Transformers. Most of the beloved characters of the shows first two seasons were gratuitously killed off and replace with new characters in order to sell more toys. While some fans whole heartedly accepted this new cast others hate them with a passion. Some even go so far as to suggest everything post season 2 has been a huge mistake.

One of the new toys characters introduced in the movie was Blurr. A jittery, impatient, fast talking Autobot. He was little more than a side character in the movie, getting enough screen time to establish his character but otherwise just present as events unfolded. But his little panicked rant about the defence of Autobot City stuck in my mind and made Blurr one of a number of toys I wanted but never got as a kid.

Third party company Unique Toys have been around for a few years now. Some of their more notable figures include Mania King, a version of Galvatron, and their Ordin series that homages the Terrorcons. They recently started making Masterpiece-styled figures with Y-01 Provider (Octane/Tankor) and now Y-02 Buzzing. As I already owned Ordin and have been very happy with the quality of those figures and have been wanting a G1-style Blurr since I was a kid I couldn't resist Buzzing.

(From here on out I'm referring to the toy as Blurr. We all know that's who Unique Toys meant this toy to be.)

 Vehicle mode:

Blurr's alt-mode is a sleek, futuristic hover car. The look is true to the G1 toy and the cartoon, sort of. Like many things in the G1 cartoon Blurr's alt-mode was drawn inconsistently. But the main features are there - two tone blue coloring, sloping three pronged front end, rear thrusters in either corner and that swept back antennae thingy on the roof.

The design is very flat and wide. As you can see in the side on "hovering" shot above. It's got that Star Wars landspeeder feel which can't be a coincidence. There is a plug hole in the underside that works with the display stand included with MP Tracks & Road Rage, or with the Tamashii display stand as I've done here. Just be careful plugging him in as I've heard of a couple of display stands losing their pegs because Blurr's port is a little too tight.

The alt-mode has one major concession - the gap behind the windscreen. This was made to accommodate his Targetmaster partner (more on him later). It does break up the look of the alt-mode and I can understand why this would bug some people. If you're not into the whole -master gimmick this is probably going to be a big black mark against this toy.

Transformation:

I'm going to put this right at the start. Blurr cheats with his transformation. If that bugs you this isn't the toy for you. He also does a lot of really nice tricks to turn his very flat alt-mode into a very well proportioned robot mode.

The trickiest part of the whole process involves that gap in the alt-mode - the seat for his Targetmaster - that's upset some people. There are a number of folding panels here that become Blurr's heels. The first couple of times I found it a little difficult getting everything to line up properly going from robot mode to alt-mode.

The front half of his alt-mode become his arms and the front of his torso and the rear half his legs and back. To get the ball rolling you unhook the two blue panels at the back of the seat. Then lift up the back of the car and swinging out the two panels either side of the antennae thingy. The side skids of the car mode then untab and swing inwards lifting the long parts up to clear the front of the car.

At this point everything should be free to move and it's a fairly straightforward process going either way. The arms untab and swing out, straightening at the elbows. This is where the first cheat presents itself. The shoulder thrusters are not those of the car mode. Flipping the windscreen down allows the head to be flipped out. And here we have the second cheat. The head antennae is not the one on the roof of the car.

The front skid of the car (which was a shield on the G1 toy) splits and collapses to fill in the middle of the torso. The middle rear of the car all folds in on itself to form the back of the robot. While there are a number of hinges involved everything works together to give the robot next to no backpack. Nothing is wasted. Everything folds away tidily. Just fantastic engineering.

The backs of the legs open to fold in the alt-mode thrusters. The legs rotate and straighten. There are panels that slide up from the shins to hold the transformation joints in place. The seat pieces all collapse down to form Blurr's heels.

Robot mode:

The robot mode is spot on Blurr. The colors, the chest, the head design. This is the guy having a mild panic attack about Decepticons at the start of the '86 movie.

The head Blurr ended up with was not the first Unique Toys designed. The first design was much rounder. But they listened to fan criticism (well, the constructive ones at least) and redesigned the head to the one we got.

Blurr's cockpit has received some criticism in robot mode as well. Many feel it's too flat. Looking at pictures from the original cartoon it does look like it protrudes further there than on this figure. So not unjustified but I personally don't have a problem with this Blurr being a bit more flat chested.

Blurr ends up more articulated than most official Masterpiece figures. This is partly due to his transformation but I wouldn't be surprised if Unique Toys put those joints in places they could be used in both modes. The arms especially make me think this with the dual swivels and double jointing right on the elbow.

One of the oddities of Blurr's design are that the skids from his alt-mode end up on his elbows. Unique Toys have designed this toy with those pieces on springs. You get full range of movement out of his arms and the springs keep the skids as close to the body as possible without hindering movement. It's a very nice touch.

Accessories:

Blurr comes with a blaster and Metroplex's transformation cog. The cog featured in a few episodes of season 3. This fits in with the pattern set by official Masterpiece toys of including an accessory (or many in some cases) that relates to a specific event from G1. 

The blaster is based off of the one Blurr used in the movie when defending Autobot City from Decepticons and ranting about it the whole time. It's nicely sculpted and fits well into his hands. It can also tab into the roof of his vehicle mode which seems to be a requirement of all Masterpiece figures - offical or otherwise.

Blurr's last "accessory" is a little black and gray transformer. As far as I know this guy wasn't given a name by Unique Toys. He's based on and clearly intended to be Blurr's Targetmaster partner Haywire.

Haywire's decently poseable given his size. Ball shoulders and hips and hinge knees all work well enough. I have heard of some people's Haywires having one hip that's prone to popping out of it's joint.

Haywire more or less transforms into a second gun for Blurr. He has a fair go of it, he really does. But on mine at least I can never get him to plug together completely straight. That said he looks more like a gun than some official Targetmasters we've had in recent years.

Haywire can combine with Blurr's other gun to create a longer rifle. The intention here is good. Sadly Haywire's alt-mode never being quite straight is exaggerated by the length of the rifle. I prefer to display Haywire as a robot or as a second pistol for Blurr, not combined.

Going back to that controversial seat - Haywire can ride in Blurr's alt-mode. He can't sit down normally, Blurr's spine doesn't leave space for Haywire's legs. Instead he ends up kneeling in the gap. It does add a little bit of play value to them as a pair. But if you don't like Haywire then all this means is Blurr's alt-mode has a gap in it. And, as I've said before, this has upset some people.

Final thoughts:

I really wanted a Blurr toy as a kid and never got one. So having Unique Toys take on the character does fulfill that for me. I like the alt-mode, I love the robot mode, and I think he looks great with my other Masterpiece figures. Unique Toys have put together an awesome toy.

But he does have his flaws. If any or all of these bother you then this is probably not the figure for you. I don't know of any other companies that are doing a Masterpiece styled Blurr (there is a Generations scaled and Legends scaled option out there) at the moment so I can't suggest any alternatives other than to wait.

Transformers Masterpiece MP-27 Ironhide

The original Transformers cartoon featured so many characters that it was impossible for all of them to get any sort of proper characterization. Along with Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Ironhide stands out as one of the more memorable members of the Ark crew. The perfect candidate for getting the Masterpiece treatment!

Vehicle mode:

Ironhide's box tells me his alt-mode is a Nissan Cherry Vanette. I cannot say that I can appreciate the difference between modern vans apart from obvious differences in body shape let alone models from the 1970s. He's a red van with a yellow stripe just like his original toy and cartoon design. So big tick there, Hasbro/Takara have nailed it. His wheel work so you can roll him around in alt-mode if you wish.

Ironhide has weapon storage in his alt-mode. As you can see above his two pistols can store underneath in-between his rear wheels. I think this is a nice touch. All the essentials of the toy can be completely stored in alt-mode without having to worry about misplacing any parts.

You can also plug one of the guns onto the roof of the van using the same sort of spring-loaded port most Masterpiece figures finish. I still think this feature is ridiculous but as I said in the Tigertrack review it has no impact on the toy so why not. 

To my eye Ironhide scales nicely with the other Masterpiece Autobots in his alt-mode. I cannot say if the scale is 100% accurate. Honestly, I don't really care. They're close enough in scale to look good together should you choose to display them this way.

Transformation:

Ironhide's transformation looks harder on paper than it actually is. The top two-thirds of his alt-mode make up the robot chest and arms, the bottom third is his legs. Lifting up the roof and out the sides free everything up to be converted to robot-mode. 

The roof folds up on itself to form the robots back. The one tricky part I found first time round was getting the rear window to fold down into the C shape made by the roof. The instructions just give you an arrow pointing straight out but the window is attached to a hinge within a hinge. You end up moving the larger hinge down while the smaller, inner hinge comes forward. This allows it to then swing down and fill in the chest. 

I know that description is probably as clear as mud. With the toy in hand, once you've done it once it's easy. But that initial transfromation may be a bit confusing.

Everything else is straight forward. The rear wheels fold in and a few panels fold around to complete the legs. The feet rotate around and the heels flip out. The legs extend slightly and get rotated 180 degrees at the knee before being straightened out. A lot of small motions but nothing is complicated. The front wheels flip around the the small of the robots back and the arms use a few panels to extend then close back up giving a very tidy look.

Robot mode:

This robot is clearly Ironhide. From the crested helmet to the grumpy expression to the window chest everything just screams Ironhide. He's big, he's tough, he's really, really red. It's surprising just how tall his robot mode ends up given the size of his alt-mode.

There is a little kibble in robot mode. The windows on the back of his arms as well as door panels on his hips and wheels on his back (especially the hip panels) have upset a few collectors. Personally I don't think any of this stands out so much to detract from the figure. But to each their own.

He has a decent range of articulation. A ball jointed head makes him very expressive. He does have a double jointed elbow but this is more for transformation than poseability. One of his biggest assets are his large feet. Ironhide is very stable when posed.

Accessories:  

Most of the smaller Masterpiece Autobots have come with maybe one accessory outside of their weapons. Sometimes this is a pre-order bonus. And that's ok. The toys stand up on their own and don't really need anything else.

Ironhide comes with a whole slew of extras. They even included a 'sled' homaging the part of the G1 toy that had to be removed during transformation to store them all. Each of these accessories relates to a specific G1 episode. I'm afraid I'm not the person to be able to tell you exactly where each one came from.

The first accessory is an alternate face. You can change Ironhide from looking grumpy to yelling about busting some Decepti-chops. Both faces are very well sculpted and the paint is very clean. They've also made swapping the faces easier than some of the earlier MPs (I'm looking at you Bumblebee). Pushing on the back of Ironhide's helmet crest pops the face off. Then it's a simple matter of plugging the other one on.

Apart from his twin pistols which have that generic Autobot design seen in the '86 movie Ironhide comes with a gun based on the one included with his original toy. Honestly this guns design is really silly. I think it looks better as part of the sled and keep Ironhide wielding his twin pistols.

Ironhide's last weapon is a rocket launcher. It plugs into his back and is on an articulated arm. The rocket is removable but there's no spring-loaded launching mechanism here. No need to worry about anyone chocking or (more likely) losing the rocket. I've seen pictures of this showing up in one episode of the G1 cartoon but as I said before I couldn't tell you which episode it was in. Like the toy gun I prefer to leave this on the sled to complete the toy homage.

This little scanner is a nice touch. Plugs into a small hole on Ironhide's forearm. There's not much to say, really. It looks nice, it's unobtrusive, but probably isn't going to get much use.

My favorite extra included with Ironhide is this rocket pack. It plugs into the same port on his back as the rocket launcher. The flame effect parts are removable. It's very tempting to get a display stand and have Ironhide displayed delivering a flying rocket punch to Starscream's face.

The last accessories are not one, not two, but three separate sets of 'liquid shooters'. I like the two gray ones but find the red one fairly boring. All are accurate to the cartoon, and Ironhide did spend enough time on screen shooting liquids from his wrist for it to be a memorable character trait. Like a lot of the other accessories these are not essential but don't detract from the toy in any way.

Final thoughts:

I really love the Masterpiece line. The amount of care that goes into each figure really shows. And Ironhide is no exception. I'd have been happy with this toy if he just transformed and came with one of the pistols. All of the other accessories are just icing on the cake. If you're collecting Masterpiece Transformers you've probably already bought or planning to buy Ironhide for your collection. But if not I'd definitely recommend checking him out.
