The best part from this is how his rear wheels became the "joint" of his legs, unlike how you must tuck wheels under his feet or somewhere around the legs. SS Ironhide got the molded plastic tires on the legs, yet the real ones are under his feet. I was hoping an Ironhide toy could get the wheel engineering for legs and this is it. 👌👌💗💗💰💰💪💪
waited for quite a while to have the money to order this guy, finally got him in, boxed him back up and initiated the return the very same day i'm now much more content with my purchase of studio series ironhide than i was before
@@alexandersilva3327 hated him i have a slightly greater appreciation for him now after i got him with the upgrade kit but he was not worth the money honestly
3:38 You're not the only one who wishes they could own one of those old GMC Topkicks ;) The hard part would be to find them... Incredibly rare from what I've seen to actually find one... especially in-spec.
This toy is INSANE! It's so organic and realistic in both modes. It really is amazing this thing exists, they created something never existed in the real world, it was just CGI, and these guys turned it into physical reality, that's more than art, that's engineering magic. Now something like this is, of course, going to be inoperable, and no good for any kind of manipulation.
I know it's been almost 3 years from this video, but I just want to say two things: 1. I always enjoy your videos because you have something unique compared to other reviewers: you are the only one that transforms the toy figures both ways, and that's something that is worth appreciating. 2. I discovered a slightly less frustrating way of transforming him back from robot mode to vehicle mode, concerning the front part of the vehicle. If you tab the panels on one side of the vehicle, starting from the front to the back, than hold them pressed with one hand, it makes it easier to align the panels on the other side of the vehicle with the other hand. I went through a lot of frustrations, so I know what you felt in the video. Keep up the good work!
First figure (I've seen) to make Optobotimus cuss... 😂😂😂 Dude must be a pain! I remember originally back in the day, Leader ROTF Prime was a pain! This is probably that now lol! But these guys do look freakin amazing! I think I'll be pre ordering Megatron, maybe Jazz as well.
No. He's cussed before about another transformer or 2. I think one was the animated legends starscream from 25th anniversary. That thing irritated him. He did end up destroying it.
Getting this guy for 50 bucks. Telling you guys, these KOs are insane. With the quality control issues w/ hasbro and Takara, it’s hard to tell the difference. Can’t want for Jazz and the already rumored Ratchet.
I painted the knuckles on mine brass. And also filed down the lower edge in the wrist tab ports with a small toothpick file so his gun panels fit in snug now :)
After looking for work trucks my grandpa has decided that we are gonna buy one of these. They're not actually that expensive surprisingly. There's only 2 things on this truck that are custom.
Thanks for doing the reverse. I know when i do my reviews, I always start how its packed. This guy it difficult to get everything in truck mode to fit. I like the GMS logo on grill, which flips over on each side. You are one of my inspirations, thanks!!
Hey optibotimus, Great review as always and it so nice to see creators recognize their patrons. Keep up the great work my dude. Thanks for over 11 years of great content
Hey optibotimus, DNA designs has an upgrade kit coming out for this to help lock in the shoulder pieces! Plus it comes with his 2 guns from dark of the moon. It's only $25! Plus they have a kit for studio series ironhide, grimlock, and megatron that are fairly cheap too! You should check them out!
This guy is what decided for me to stick to Studio Series for the movie cast. Well this and how bad the fitment was on MPM Prime. I feel for the toy designers and Bay's impossible characters, but I'm happy to trade a little bit of screen accuracy for a LOT of aggravation. SS Ironhide is awesome (and yes he DOES stand totally flat and stable if you push his feet wheels all the way in through their tabs) and his arm guns are integrated WAAYYY better, like MP didn't even make an effort... Maybe Legendary Toys will improve this like they have everything else.
This is the most honest, and accurate video I’ve seen of the frustration of putting this POS back into truck mode. I busted one of the tabs on the windshield in mine after a long time of trying. Hasbro should reimburse those of us that spent more than $20 on this toy.
I really enjoys your reviews, but I've got to say you made that way harder than it needed to be. I agree that he is fiddly, but once you line up everything, it comes together nicely. Knowing how everything fits together is key. There is also the order of the steps you take to transform him. For example, try lining up the front of the hood before working on the arms (sides of the truck). Anyway, love the reviews and please keep them coming.
i seen your frustration but at least you didn't completely lose it like baltmatrix did,the way i see it it's one where people need to pray to god to help me not to go ballistic.
Yeah, transformation is problematic at best, infuriating at worst! I understand your frustration, Paul. Don't worry about it. It's certainly one of the most difficult movie Ironhide to transform. It's not easy to transfer a CGI character into toy form, because the CGI cheats and makes parts disappear. For other robots, I have the same problem with ROTF Optimus Prime and ROTF Jetfire, they're are frustrating to transform, that's why they stay in their robot modes on my display! Nice review despite your difficulty!
Oof. I wondered when Hasbro/Takara were gonna hit a limit with one of these. Hopefully they have a social media scouter to watch some of these reviews and take in some feedback so the next ones aren't quite so finnicky. I know Jazz and Megatron are next, and they SEEM a little more straightforward. I would be worried about Ratchet, Starscream, or Brawl ending up like this (if they make them).
Biggest decision....spending $150 for a "statue" to complete the rest of the MPM line?? All it appears the engineering had to do is put the front tires on a hing or swivel to free up the shoulder joint to swing forward.
in movie, ironhide does have his shoulder set behind the wheel like in mpm n replica, his frontal car at the chest is actually articulated, n he only moved it a bit in the film
I checked Amazon, and the Studio Series version is ridiculously expensive than the MPM figure, but I did find a MPM figure that was on sale for around $55 or less a few months ago
This is the only figure in my collection I bought an upgrade kit for. It comes with a piece that attaches across the back shoulders that stabilizes him very well. I also comes with some nice extra weapons. This is how I also felt trying to get the MPM from the Bumblebee movie tabbed together. Soo frustrating.
I don't understand u don't play with your toys so this is the most playing your going to do I would think and this is far more accurate than studio series so why wouldn't u display this love as always tho
This figure seems like a missed opportunity. They really don’t even need to go back to the drawing board with this, just fix the shoulders and fix some molding and tabbing stuff, yk? Great review!
I love this thing, yeah I said it. I've had a good expirence with him, he looks great with my other MPM's and I've been able to pull off some great poses with it. I know that he's not the greatest figure but I enjoy him.
Funny how these are made for kids. And not a lot of kids know how to transform these things xD Anything for cinema accuracy. Thinking about buying one.
The Masterpiece Ironhide is a pain in the ass to transform but I still think the Studio Series Voyager Class Ironhide and Dark of the Moon Leader Class Ironhide are the best Ironhide figures I've seen.
Not in bot mod they ain't, in bot mod this is the most accurate one there is and in august upgrade kit hits. The studio version is butt ugly, just like my spelling.
I love the og song at the beginning of the video. It's just as nostalgic as the Peace of Mind intro.
I knew it was Peace of Mind! But like an acoustic version.
The best part from this is how his rear wheels became the "joint" of his legs, unlike how you must tuck wheels under his feet or somewhere around the legs. SS Ironhide got the molded plastic tires on the legs, yet the real ones are under his feet. I was hoping an Ironhide toy could get the wheel engineering for legs and this is it. 👌👌💗💗💰💰💪💪

The studio does seem better tbh
what happened?
@@alexandersilva3327 hated him
i have a slightly greater appreciation for him now after i got him with the upgrade kit but he was not worth the money honestly
Ironhide should not have died in the movie.... T_T
I almost cried when you used the throwback intro music 😂
because Optibotimus is a MASTERPIECE! 😂😂😂
Just got this guy finally for $50 bucks. This video is very clear why he is going for $50 not the original $100+ anymore.
Cant wait for mpm jazz!!!!
The intro is so nostalgic it brings me back to the time i watched optibotimus a long time ago! Like 5 years.
please use the guitar one again!!
OH MY GOD HE USED THE OLD INTRO MUSIC JESUS CHRIST
3:38 You're not the only one who wishes they could own one of those old GMC Topkicks ;) The hard part would be to find them... Incredibly rare from what I've seen to actually find one... especially in-spec.
My neighbor owned one for a good bit, never seen a man take as much care of a truck as him.
YESSSSS!! I've waited a LONG time for you to review this!
This toy is INSANE!

Feeling Lucky, Punk?
@@skintgirafde320 Just kidding! I just wanted to show him my canons
"Punk ass Decepticon!"
Class , dismissed!!!!!
"What have you done?"
Super Smash Revan damn you really hit me in the feels with that lol.
If I remember correctly EmGo had the same issues with the vehicle mode so I think it’s a common issue
he didn't, he had one tiny roof issue that he didn't care about
Huh, on my copy, it transformed and handled fine...

Its masterpiece,not fun to play but fun to look at it
Front of car becomes chest.
MAN!! IT'S SO GOOD TO HEAR THAT MUSIC AGAIN IN THE BEGINNING!!!! LOVE IT SO MUCH AND LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!
you're supposed to fully snap the chest piece into place. Theres a peg in the center of the chest that clicks everything nice and snug.
The intro music is so appropriate for the hype of this review
I can’t believe I watched the whole thing.....
but it was worth it! 😄
I had a hell of a time with mine.
"A lot of panels that do not like cooperating when you want to do things."
The MPM line summed in one short sentence.
No, as far as I know Ironhide and optimus prime have been the only 2 figures with big problems
"It's just so much crap"
-obtibotimus
*So much shock*
INTROOOOOO is giving me flashbacks to the battle mode bumblebee from rotf lol
Sam ( scared AF)
Optibotimus : " I came to show u his canons "
My uncle knows the guy who owns the truck they used in the movies.
i heard theres a video that shows how to fix the arms. like attaching the front of the truck somewhere.
I'm gonna wait patiently for MP-1 Sentinel Prime and MP-1 Ratchet.
I get this fella tomorrow. The studio series one is a uggly stumpy troll with a happy meal bumper.
You know, Optibotimus, you legit did a better job transforming him into truck mode than I probably would.

2019 is when Optibotimus
doesn’t give a shit anymore
Zero fucks are given lol

Such an absolute masterpiece
I painted the knuckles on mine brass. And also filed down the lower edge in the wrist tab ports with a small toothpick file so his gun panels fit in snug now :)
The logo on the under side of the bumper also says: "road armor". It looks different because it is the actual road armor logo.
this is an masterpiece
*like optibotimus is an masterpiece too*
After looking for work trucks my grandpa has decided that we are gonna buy one of these. They're not actually that expensive surprisingly. There's only 2 things on this truck that are custom.
Honestly best most accurate review on this figure. But yes keep it in one mode and the robot mode is the best in my opinion just for display
Thanks for the compliment!
Probably gonna wait for the knockoff to come out with better paint and fixed articulation.
Thanks for doing the reverse. I know when i do my reviews, I always start how its packed. This guy it difficult to get everything in truck mode to fit. I like the GMS logo on grill, which flips over on each side. You are one of my inspirations, thanks!!
Feeling lucky buyer? This thing can break easily

Why does every Reviewer miss the fact that his shoulder tires act as locks for the entire shoulder assembly?
Show us then
@@optibotimus and.....he never did :(
Can’t wait to make my movie 1 collection with the movie masterpiece🙂 hopefully we get a ratchet
My GOD! That intro music its been a while since you dint use that( actually almost five years)😂
GREAT JOB again paul!💖
Worth to wait..😊😊
cant wait for dark of the moon ironhide where its just a bunch of loose pieces of black plastic with rust effects painted over it.
The transformation may be finicky but it’s not a total “nightmare”.
I still can’t transform him to his vehicle mode
This is the most honest, and accurate video I’ve seen of the frustration of putting this POS back into truck mode. I busted one of the tabs on the windshield in mine after a long time of trying. Hasbro should reimburse those of us that spent more than $20 on this toy.
You should’ve used more finesse and watched emgo’s tutorial
Tee You’ve obviously never transformed this toy then Chief, or you wouldn’t leave such a stupid comment.
It's a masterpiece of shit.
*FEELING LUCKY, PUNK?*
Had a very hard time transforming this guy. Very frustrating. He really looks good on display tho. Just not for playing. Which is a bummer.
Jesus christ almost an hour long review? No wonder its not getting any views.

Does this figure come in robot mode when you get in because I will never transform it
Ironically I was gonna buy this today
"Class dissmissed"
Ironhide when he does his cannon jump thing in mission city:hold my beer,watch this
You should tried to wait for a jazz figure k?
He's so dark and the background is so bright my eyes can barely see his details.
Oh, old little me.
FEELING LUCKY PUNK !!

Can you review MPM Jazz already, please?
Cool figure

Optibotimus are you going to review MPM VW Beetle Bumblebee?
in movie, ironhide does have his shoulder set behind the wheel like in mpm n replica, his frontal car at the chest is actually articulated, n he only moved it a bit in the film
It looks so impressive!
just thought i'd point out, the description is... kinda incorrect
I respect your honesty and was waiting for your review to determine if I bought this as you are one of my most trusted reviewers . Thanks Paul
I checked Amazon, and the Studio Series version is ridiculously expensive than the MPM figure, but I did find a MPM figure that was on sale for around $55 or less a few months ago
Moi ironhide c'est mon préféré , il déchire LOL
This is the only figure in my collection I bought an upgrade kit for. It comes with a piece that attaches across the back shoulders that stabilizes him very well. I also comes with some nice extra weapons.
This is how I also felt trying to get the MPM from the Bumblebee movie tabbed together. Soo frustrating.
Great scuplt and aesthetics the best looking iron hide but lackluster in engineering especially in the chest and shoulders area... Lazy Hasbro
Waiting for a ko to come out.
This is cool! I love it! Great work, Optibotimus! Great work.
I really wish they used soft rubber for the tires on these models.
I have the same problem i not transform back in the vehicle mode
I don't understand u don't play with your toys so this is the most playing your going to do I would think and this is far more accurate than studio series so why wouldn't u display this love as always tho
I forgot what the set was called but for the studio series and it fixes the waist problems
This figure seems like a missed opportunity. They really don’t even need to go back to the drawing board with this, just fix the shoulders and fix some molding and tabbing stuff, yk? Great review!
So I painted clear color Varnish spray on his shoulder joint he becomes much better sigh... but I can say he is most better Ironhide toy
i think its the best ironhide figure
Are you gonna buy and review the Magic Square MS-01 Light Of Freedom?
That old intro really hits that spot.
PS i really want LT to do a KO of this (i hope they fix the shoulders)
I'd settle for an upsized KO by Wei Jiang or Black Mamba of the old HftD Deluxe Ironhide with a fixed chest area...and better weapons.
there is some factory stock (or k.o u decide) of this figure, retails around half the price of original
I love this thing, yeah I said it. I've had a good expirence with him, he looks great with my other MPM's and I've been able to pull off some great poses with it. I know that he's not the greatest figure but I enjoy him.
Why its not greatest figure
@@zefff911 the transformation is joke
Funny how these are made for kids. And not a lot of kids know how to transform these things xD Anything for cinema accuracy. Thinking about buying one.
I’ve been waiting for this one!
i literally just ordered this yesterday
Thank you for calling them disc brakes and not fake tires
Who calls them tires? Lol I don't know shit about cars but even I know what the breaks are lol
I broke a side view mirror & a rear door tab trying to get him transformed into vehicle mode... I'm annoyed for sure.
Optibibotimus unhinged
Best youtuber. Ever
The best part was the legs of IronHide, looks so good, better than the arms
The Masterpiece Ironhide is a pain in the ass to transform but I still think the Studio Series Voyager Class Ironhide and Dark of the Moon Leader Class Ironhide are the best Ironhide figures I've seen.
Not in bot mod they ain't, in bot mod this is the most accurate one there is and in august upgrade kit hits. The studio version is butt ugly, just like my spelling.
This character honestly deserved more quality control, he was delayed for so long I don't know what happened 🤷🏽♂️
