Pictures of Movie Ironhide Repaint

What crap colours. DO NOT WANT.

It begs the question... Why Blue???

When has Ironhide ever been Blue? Even his Beast Wars namesake wasn't blue.

D'oh! Red would be...what's the word I'm looking for?
Oh, yes, that's right...better!

Unless this is supposed to be Kup. Its obviously for the "Allspark power" line continuation, hence the ugly light blue. I could see it as a movie Kup, though.

I agree. I am willing to bet we will get a red repaint as a store exclusive at some point. I really like Ironhide so I will be getting this one!

Movie line '07 wins for "toy series with worse repaints ever!"

Aside from Evac and DA Brawl, there isn't a single one I like.

Well, the head's improved. But otherwise...meh.

I think I prefer him in black.

Yea, but at least they were honest with the Starscream, Jazz, and Ratchet mold by putting them in G1 colors. This is just, out there.

The head's even better once you turn it around 180 degrees. A little bit of paint, and you've got Trailbreaker, Grimlock, or even Soundwave.

not bad i have the origional, but if mine breaks I guess I'll get that one

Movie Skids?

...or am I the only one who automatically thinks of that when I see this repaint...

New Brushguard maybe?

I'm trying to place the color scheme, it seems familiar, but not. Dark blue, light blue and yellow... hmm...

I'm 99% convinced this is just a lame "Nightwatch Ironhide"

Wasn't he blue in Energon, or doesn't that count?

People want a red G1 styled Ironhide?

Well...you ask and you shall receive....

COMING SOON!!!

Anyways, this re-paint looks fan-made, and i dont see the point in it either way....i mean...blue?? WTF?

Anyway this is good publicity for me

whoever who repainted Ironhide into blue, should be kicked in the nuts for not choosing red instead ;P

or maybe he was color blind? (no offense to any color blind people out there, though)

This Ironhide isn't G1 Ironhide though.

Haha... what a fandom though. People complain when G1 color schemes are forced on to their movie namesakes (Jazz, Starscream & Ratchet) yet we also complain when a G1 color scheme ISN'T forced onto their G1 namesake (Ironhide).

Oh, and who ever confirmed this will be released under the name Ironhide? Couldn't it be a new character?

remold ironhide into a blue dump, so us G1'ers can take a dump down "bluehide"'s toy throat
lol

compaine is either losing control with these repaints or there making these trying to get make more money off these figures probally looks worse in red thats could be why hes blue.

not no big fan of repaints but the only repaint i liked so far was jazz all the others looked bad

I'm gonna be the gut to say it, but red would just plain look god aweful on this figure. If this looked like IRONHIDE from G1, I'd say yep, give us red.

But this is a new design with an old name that certainly would be even worse with the old color patterns as well!

I beg to differ, because i know for a fact he looks great in red, even with the old gold line down the side.

Doesnt look no worse than this stupid two-tone blue.

ill buy it, turn his head around, and call him soundwave.

death to repaints.

i like the dirt graphics on the doors ,somehow i like this better than the black version

Why thank you Sonray!

I'm actually pretty jazzed for the blue repaint. It will make it worlds easier to "Soundwave" him! I had to do mine the hard way!

Indeed, but actually i was more referring to http://seibertron.com/forums/viewtopic. ... 832#318832

Hate the blue. It makes it look terrible. Why not RED? And what is with the "mud" on the fenders? Recolors are great if they are done right and do not look cheap.

I'd say, black still looks better.

But i like the Autobot logo on the head.

to quote the great Ironhide from Heavy Metal Fight (DRSMOOV vid)

"That sounds like it sucks!"
or his probable reaction to the repaint:

Ironhide: Can we go beat their asses now, Prime??
Optimus: Yes, we can, Ironhide.

QFT!!!

I would of had gotten it if it were red

I can't fathom why he's blue. I'm not convinced I'd even buy it in red either. The G1 repaints are cool ideas but I got the movie guys for how they look in the movie and bought very few at that. Regardless, he looks nice. The extra detailing is pretty cool though. Wonder what he's going to be named.

I seem to be the only one though I haven't readd all the posts, but I quite like this version, especially the more colourful robot mode and the mud detailing. Why a blue Ironhide is a question that'll wake me up during the night though.

Gonna agree with the general opinion and say they should have went with G1 Colours.

A thought: Are we sure the character is being released as Ironhide again?

Could just be a redeco like the Concept Bumblebee redeco into Cliffjumper. Though can't think of who would transform into a blue pickup.

I agree. I for one prefer black Ironhide. I don't get why so many people want a red one... aside from G1, when was Ironhide ever red?

Things like this are HUGE pet peeves of mine. Move passed G1. Why is it that everytime a new toy of a character comes out, it NEEDS to be repainted in it's G1 COLOURS! Not their Armada colours, or Energon, or Cybertron, or Beast Wars, or RID or whatever!

it's like G1 colour schemes are the only ones that matter... oh wait, who am I kidding, lots of people in the fandom still think that G1 was the only SERIES that mattered...

I'm not saying the blue is good either, but red will make hime look like a can or crushed tomatoes.

However, since you know for a fact he'll look good in red, show me, and if you're correct, I'll gladly tip my hat in your favor.

Till then, I personaly can't tell you what colors I'd like to see him in, if anything I think a black and silver combination would compliment this design well with some chrome accents.

He's a great bot, but to many details get lost in black, the blue just isn't right as it's to bright, and red is gonna be gaudy.

I seperated these movie figures from there G1 counterparts, most I even renamed. It made them more easy for me to adapt to. So on that note, since we have an all new design, why not try an all new color pattern?

If the guys name was, I don't know, TopCannon, or Johnny BlueJeans, instead of IronHide, I think alot of people would agree with me here.

However, it doesn't change the fact that it is IronHide, so I can see why people are so adimant about this. You know, if it LOOKED like G1 IronHide I'd feel the same, but since it doesn't, I say go for broke, try something new!

But again, I am with you on one thing, I don't like this blue.

Perfect!

i like it. i prefer the standard version, but i still like the colour choices, since the blue and yellow and blue and black work well together.




G1 IS DEAD. DEAL WITH IT. HOMAGES EXIST, LIKE CLASSICS, BUT G1 IS STILL DEAD.

and i meant to do that in block capitals

I'm not saying Ironhide can only be red. I for one love the black coloring on the movie Ironhide. I just think that if Hasbro's going to go around making G1 redecos, then Ironhide is one of the better molds to choose. I think the Starscream redeco looks ridiculous in that color scheme, but it takes effort to make a big red truck look bad.

I will show you, but it isnt ready yet. I am waiting for the paint to fully dry. I have a preview up in the kitbash forum though, look for the thread "he is coming."

Where abouts would you like to see black highlights?

At least the face is better-detailed...

Where the bark blue and orange are on the regular toy. Why?

Hehe..nothing, just wondering.

From what I saw, very nice. However I did notice alot more silver than red.

I give you alot of credit for what I saw in that glimpse, however knowing from experience, Hasbro will put no where mear as much effort into a repaint as you will.

IF they where to do a red repaint, I'll bet you dollars to dougnuts you'll get a giant red mass with a few accents to break it up. If you doubt me, I offer you 20+ years of subpar repaints as prof.

The only one I can think of is G2 Motormouth, but that's pretty obscure:

Ironhide was also blue for a Universe release, again, pretty obscure though:

http://tfu.info/2003/Autobot/Ironhide/ironhide.htm

I agree with the consensus, red would've looked 1000 times better.
