As a fan of siege ironhide&crosshairs,I think the earthrise mold does a pretty good job,the shield partsforming is kinda pointless and stupid,but in my opinion it gave the toy even more playability,and with ss86 ironhide,I think we will finally start getting a really great ironhide toys besides masterpiece and earthrise(universe ironhide is a complete disaster),Earthrise ironhide was one of my favorurite earthrise molds along with snapdragon,scorponok,the powerdashers and astrotrain,I love that figure even more with this redeco,I hope if the ss86 ironhide mold is going to be repainted and retooled into g1 camshaft or bot con 2016 g1 oil slick
You know if you get the Nonnef upgrade kits you can turn the partsforming piece into the sleds as an homage to the G1 toy, giving even more playability than before.
The fact that you referenced Bionicle with that image of DK-2 guard and tahu,make it even better,it's also reminds me of transmetal II primal with his gorilla skateboard mod
I almost regretted ordering him in the days leading to mine's arrival. But once I had him....I now slightly regretted winning that bid for ER Ironhide (though he has SOME sentimental value due to being my first eBay bid AND win). You're right, he just FEELS and LOOKS better. EASILY the best use of the mold. You probably already heard me on the Discord saying that while I do think the partsforming could be something done without, this one doesn't bother me as much on Guard, coz...well, the name. Ironhide too if you prefer his Animated-based defense style rather than his G1 and Bayverse dakka style. And, I mean, those aren't mutually exclusive anyway. Either way, at least it actually looks like it could tank some of the strongest shots out there. With SS86 coming up, and the fact that you were never an upgrade kit guy, I figured you probably aren't going to get the Nonnef feet like i did, though at least you saw what it looked like on mine. I'm oddly not a fan of the SS86 version, but I can respect it. I dunno what I'll do with my ER Ironhide, but Guard here is already my acting Ironhide, also with Crosshairs' hammerzooka (since he has actual Pinpointer anyway) And your SG Ratchet's breakage scares me from my imminent disassembly, though not a total deterance.
This is another issue I have with hasbro doing G1 so much: It takes them 4 attempts in as many years to get to the figure that everyone ACTUALLY wanted, which is the SS86 Ironhide. I got the siege one and it was fun but ultimately didn't impress me. And the earthrise having a HUGE chunk of partsforming roof is just lame to me.
Yeah, just try to think of that "parts forming roof" as a throw back to the original g1 toy. That's why it makes sense to have all the repaints or select figures with this design and not the ss version. These guys will still have a place in the collection as the toy versions and the ss version will be the true to character version.
@@kevbotech238 I don't like the "but the G1 toy did it" excuses for things like this. There's no reason to not do it better now that they've been making toys of this character for 35 years. Just my opinion.
the mold grew on me surprisingly, have the sg ratchet painted in regular ratchet colors and I love it's look actually. Still not sure if I want it as an ironhide to go with it though.
DK Guard was so much easier to get for me than the others, and I only have Siege Ironhide, so when the SS86 version comes out, I've decided to customise the Siege one into Snowcat.
I pair my Earthrise Ironhide with the sled as a shield and The Last Knight Cogman's sword. I find the sled on this mold only really works if you go full sword-and-shield, I've got Shattered Glass Ratchet AND Earthrise Ratchet, and I don't think it really works *aesthetically* in any other configuration. I agree with what you said, it should've gone full-G1 with some tank treads. Since Selects doesn't really have a set price point, they should've packed in some appropriately-coloured treads from the Cog mold. Ah, maybe they want us to buy Red Cog for that
I think the er van mold has always been a g1 toy nod and was meant to be that. Where as the 86 mold was to be animation. As the diaclone deco was toy based it makes more sense in this mold than the 86 version.
@@monster-mecha_enthusiast_2002 they've been giving us alot of them since wfc like 10 i think if you count delta magnus from shattered glass. 🤔 I would like them to continue also. As far as the Diaclone reboot goes, sure why not that would be pretty cool, I think you can order that stuff from bbts.
I don't know if you know this or not but there is a 3D printed feet for this mold that gives it more accurate doors in a vehicle mode I remember lazy eyebrow reviewer made some and some other people as well I think you should try it at least for the shattered glass ratchet give it some white shoes
As soon as I saw the windshield crack I instantly untabbed my Shattered Glass Ratchet and DK Guard Also sorry that happened to your Ratchet i know how hard that figure is to find
I wish they would make a new dedicated mold for crosshairs with targetmaster. I rescued a g1 crosshairs and fixed joints and stickers but gave him a siege targetmasters but still love it.
I got the Earthrise Ironhide and it...had...SO...many color variations. It was supposed to be a muted red but it had 4-5 different shades of red. It irked me so bad that I sold it. Hoping the Studio Series Ironhide will be better but before I knew about that I got Guard and it DOES look a whole lot better. It really gives justice to this mold.
logic is out of the window.... Seige-Earthrise-Legacy Ironhides were scalped to the hell......but when 86 Ironhide dropped, nope...shelf warming in my target at the moment
I am doing an transformers “Exodus” story! It may become an stop motion in the future but if it did happen than I will use new/old Movie HFTD and studio series toys!
The F-ing feet hanging out in "van" mode is just a clear insult to the customers. The diaclon repaint was just polish on a turd. A polished turd is better than a turd, but ...
We ain't getting the next wave of Studio Series (Including SS86 Ironhide) here in Australia until February next year lol. We are getting Legacy wave 3 in just November though.
This guy looks great and he was gonna be my Ironhide until the new one got announced. I might still go for him anyway and wait for the Ratchet version of the 86
I already bought 2 copies of these, which I painted one with G1 Ironhide and the other ratchet just added horns on the head. I will still buy the ss86 Ironhide when its available.
You live Canada, right? Lazy Eyebrow has 3D printed pieces for this mould and he also lives there, you could contact him for better feet pieces, his designs really make this toy much, much better.
I would have bought this mold but I'm not a fan of parts forming being necessary for the alt mode...fear that would get lost for sure because Ironhide and Ratchet haven't ever had shields...
Okay can somebody....anybody....please tell me what the heck that is at 6.30 please, absolutely love how dinky and small it is haha plus the colours are awesome!!
Because i did not get Ironhide Earthrise, since it was... stupid exclusive., i decided to get this one as it was cheaper, and ... its my ironhide from another universe. And i actually love him . The "shield" you can also used it on his back for some sick poses, or to help with them. I adore his gun, which looks way better then most guns in legacy...I don't know. Most weapons on legacy ..something's off, and i can't put my finger exactly on what. Still , better van then SS86, specially sold as voyager. I refuse that bullshit pulling hasbro.
I have the nonnef productions upgrade kit foot replacement for earthrise ironhide. They do look alot better but I had an issue with mine. toyhax actually came out with sticker sets for nonnef productions upgrade kits. Well some of them anyway. But ironhides replacement feet are one of them.
Since now i already had SS86 & Siege Ironhide, I want this mold to complete the variant mold. the Earthrise Ironhide is to rare. So this one should be fine
it's armorhide,an autobot truck from the 2005 cybertron toyline,and he was an autobot engineer,his toy was repainted as g1 huffer by bot con in a tow pack with springer (whose is a repaint of cybertron defense hot shot),and he was repainted in a back stripes color scheme as a 2007 movie version of him,and his 2007 toy was also used as shattered glass huffer
I use this as my shattered glass ironhide cause I don’t think we’ll get a proper one anytime soon and the faction symbol on the shield so slap it on the back or toss it aside and I have a shattered glass ironhide

Bro that ratchet’s taking shattered glass to a whole other level
I didn't want this guy in the slightest, but now seeing him as G1 and Bay-verse Ironhide being out together this figure totally makes sense
Bruh
Since Earthrise Ironhide is being replaced by the 86’ one; it makes me appreciate this guy a little more. I’ve taken to rename him Guard-Rail.

If they ever do Movie Characters in G1 style, I would love if they did Scorn from Age of Extinction.
@2:06 I got spooked and had to check my Siege Ratchet. So far so good.
Take a shot everytime toyguy mentions something about the proportions being off
He makes a perfect Shattered Glass Ironhide

Ironhide got dat coka cola colours
I used the Deeseus Guard as my Ironhide and gave him ER Cliffjumper's guns as arm cannons.
2:30 holy fucking shit I've had this figure for like a month or two and i just found out about that little feature on the roof...
Legacy Ironhide is awesome. Gave him the Earthrise Ironhide toyhax stickers. I put his sled/shield on his back when in bot mode.
Mine's got the same issue with the head articulation but all in all I like the guy too. I like to treat his little pistol like as a stun baton.
Wow! Horrible that your chest on Ratchet has a crack like that.
You could also consider this guy an A-Team X Transformers crossover
I don't know if you know this or not but there is a 3D printed feet for this mold that gives it more accurate doors in a vehicle mode I remember lazy eyebrow reviewer made some and some other people as well I think you should try it at least for the shattered glass ratchet give it some white shoes
I like the idea of this mold being an G1 version of movieverse Ironhide
Black van go vroom vroom

If the ball joint is too stiff, I use shock grease to loosen it up.
Crosshairs is still my favorite version
I think if one could swap the Red face for the Quintesson Drones silver I definitely can see this as Legacy 2007 Ironhide
never wanted the siege ratchet or Ironhide earthrise or ok but this guy looks great loving the diaclone repaints a lot .
I consider the partsforming as a nod to the G1 toy
Oh, I’ve had this figure still in a box since December, weird I forgot about him
The F-ing feet hanging out in "van" mode is just a clear insult to the customers.
The diaclon repaint was just polish on a turd. A polished turd is better than a turd, but ...
Siege crosshairs has the fun weapon like ratchet ? Partsforming
Honestly the crack on SG Ratchet gives him a bit personality
We ain't getting the next wave of Studio Series (Including SS86 Ironhide) here in Australia until February next year lol. We are getting Legacy wave 3 in just November though.
Bayverse Ironhide is interesting - ESPECIALLY since most people are actually using him as Shattered Glass Ironhide.

You live Canada, right? Lazy Eyebrow has 3D printed pieces for this mould and he also lives there, you could contact him for better feet pieces, his designs really make this toy much, much better.
Keep this guy in alt mode, love the retro look; if only they splashed some paint on those rims.
I just wish the peg for his chest window wasn’t red, black would have made it even more uniform and not stuck out like a sore thumb
I wanna see someone getting the SS 86 ironhide once it's released and have someone paint it with the guard color scheme.
Part of me was thinking about getting DK Guard, then I ordered the Newage one so.... dont need one unless Hasbro repaints SS86 Ironhide into Guard
Watching you enjoy this figure now makes me want to finally get it...😮💨
I got the Ironhide.... I love him!
I would have bought this mold but I'm not a fan of parts forming being necessary for the alt mode...fear that would get lost for sure because Ironhide and Ratchet haven't ever had shields...
Okay can somebody....anybody....please tell me what the heck that is at 6.30 please, absolutely love how dinky and small it is haha plus the colours are awesome!!
I actually think the proportion of the earthrise robot mode looks better than the ss version. The SS version has a big head and looks very short.

I got one for like 12 bucks at GameStop lol almost went back to get another 😂
I have a new name for Guard: **"Iron-Cutter"** because he's Ironhide with Trail-Breaker/CUTTER colors
Nonnef ships to Canada. I have successfully received multiple orders to Toronto. They just have an order minimum, to make the shipping cost worth it.
Yeah the issue is every time I put my address in it just says unavailable to ship to my location. Which is a tad strange
It does that for me, too, until I create an order that goes over $50USD. Then it allows me to complete the order process.
also this is the easiest version of the mold to track down.
Since now i already had SS86 & Siege Ironhide, I want this mold to complete the variant mold. the Earthrise Ironhide is to rare. So this one should be fine

Ah yes, the 'black convoy effect'. Every figure looks better in black. It's just a rule.
