I'm just going to say this. I love the fact you are a fan in addition to being critical of certain aspects of the toy itself. It helps in your review. That said, I definately want these two even though it is kind of double dipping with the Siege toys.
@Konstantins Zelcs 2 problems with that, though. 1: I don't have Earthrise Bumblebee, nor do I plan on getting him. I do have Cliffjumper, but... 2: I imagine Cliffjumper as the weapon specialist in my Autobot army. I would've given the missile launcher to Cliffjumper, so he could wield a grenade launcher in one hand, and a missile launcher in the other.
Konstantins Zelcs that’s funny that was the exact same thought i had when i saw the reveal pictures for bumblebee and ironhide, great minds think alike
Ironhide’s shield also has a quad-barreled blaster in the part that sits over his feet in vehicle mode. The 5mm peg used for him to wield it in robot mode is on a slider that lets them extend.
@@PrimeVsPrime I went on RUclips and someone just made replacement feet for ironhide and ratchet. Some other folk also made earth tires for both of them as well. Try checking them out.
Classics Ironhide is way better than his G1, but that’s doesn’t mean it does him any justice lol. I think between this and the masterpiece, these have been the best versions of Ironhide for a while though.
I think if the shield could fold in half so when you place it on the back there’s not a red brick hanging off it would probably be better. I really wish these could be sold separately like Earthrise skywarp and Thundercracker maybe they might do Netflix repaints for Earthrise so we can have those 2 pack figures separate
I personally think Ironhide looks amazing. When I first heard about ironhide and prowl getting remolded into earthrise I was genuinely disappointed considering both siege ironhide and maybe prowl were already great figures but now looking at ironhide and prowl I gotta say I'm definitely getting this two pack. Who cares about the whole half of the truck turning into a shield, I'm counting that as very good weapon storage.
Prowl’s one of my favorite characters (thanks primarily to IDW). Already have this preordered & not second guessing yet. If they released an Earth Ratchet (other Autobot favorite, also for IDW), I’d be ecstatic. Bonus points for red headcrest.
Why they aren't doing opaque windows for the entire Earthrise line as per the Prime and Cliffjumper figures is beyond me. Would hide the interiors better.
Prowl is perfect. Ironhide has issues on both modes, exposed feet on alt mode and roof becomes shield or cape on robot mode. Overall he looks good without the shield.
remember the universe 2.0 version of Ironhide at the same problem have a similar problem with his alt mode. this is kind of why I think Ironhide should remain with a truck alt mode
Iron hide looks 90% done, just missing the finishing touches. Maybe toy hax (I believe they are called) could release some window decals. Also, just looking at the comparison with the siege iron hide, is the red on the panel around the back wheels more the colour match for the rest of the earthrise iron hide? It seems to be from my view but I could he way out.
I really want to start collecting Earthrise figures but I've already been collecting the Studio Series for over 2 years, and my wallet can only handle so much
austinrrrodrigues my wallet has been dying for a long time since I like pretty much every single transformers and Gundam series there is, and my allowance from chores is about 30 dollars a month.
studio series doesn't really appeal to me, I only get the ones that are really good looking or characters I somewhat enjoyed with the minimal screen time they ha'd lol
@POKOkitty I'm actually more interested in the prowl. Never got the siege. Didn't like the clear wheels in alt mode. I'll probably get both 2 packs anyways 🙄
Prowl looks amazing in both bot mode and vehicle mode. Ironhide looks amazing in bot mode, it’s just a shame that his vehicle mode looks like a mess. Otherwise I can’t wait for my set to come in. Great review as always.
Its a bad idea to make main characters exclusive but they are doing it to make room in the main line for all the beast wars figures that they are going to put into the line with kingdom since it will be the last of the 3 year planned line.
The main things I would have changed about Earthrise Ironhide would be to make a new mold for the feet to give him back doors of his van mode, and make the back window panels clear plastic with red paint like the middle window panels are. Those are the main changes I can offer that wouldn't alter the overall design too much, while still improving the vehicle mode.
Hasbro I hope re-release Ironhide, Prowl and Ratchet under the Voyager 86 line and with improvements. 86 Studio Series is a big deal and is the reason transformers lives on for many of us. It's the progenitor of all this.
Ironhide looks damn good, and I bet a 3rd party source can fix that shield kibble. Another double hinge joint would be perfect to allow it to fold up correctly.
well, obscure also means hard to make out or define, vague. In this case if we substitute that to one of his sentences "It's hard to make out why Hasbro chose this blah blah..." It kinda fits so eh 🤷♀️
BigMcLargehuge1983 he says a lot of strange things that make you say "what" but yeah I don't think he knows what obscure means or if he does know he doesn't know to use it in the right context. the fact he thinks the shield is 45% of ironhide also baffles me
I was dumb and one day I was gonna buy this but the wait was too long so I bought something else when it was released I instantly regretted my decision
I genuinely do not mind the roof being detached honestly. I mean, He was a parts former to begin with & it looks more like a Shield than the Cliffjumper molds, but I can’t find a good priced Siege Ironhide anywhere near me so I’m glad that I pre-ordered this set & the Conehead set.
Prowl is near perfect except for the head. The best CHUG prowl. Ironhide is good in robot mode but the mismatched parts and the roof detachment lowers it a bit. The feet hanging off didn't bother me in siege because it was Cybertronian but here it looks like a little kid trying to hide under a blanket. I'll stick with my siege versions though.
I'm liking this two-pack. I may not care for the vehicle mode for Ironhide but it was a way better representation in robot mode than the Generation one Hasbro put out like 10 years ago. Still keeping my pre-order of them! :)
Great review. I would have wanted these so much when I was a kid. Even with the flaws, and my gripes about the seekers' waists, they really do look like the cartoon, and it is better late than never. Hey, relax knowing people will be watching this 10 x in a row.
I can see Ironhide (Earthmode) and Ratchet getting a 3rd party upgrade with new feet and perhaps even some new wheels. even if someone just does something with 3D printing the feet shouldn't be to hard to do better. Perhaps if they do another Centurion style set they might give the characters some of their missing weapons back too. Hopefully the desire to make an Earthrise upgrade kit is strong that it was for Crosshairs - as I'm still waiting for that to happen.
As a kid I always liked weapons that parts-formed into the figures way more than ones that just hung out and sat awkwardly on their vehicle modes. Arcee’s is kinda bad, but the shield for ironhide looks great
I can’t believe they left the problem with Ironhides feet in vehicle mode, it’s so atrocious on an earth mode car, if they’re already adding car parts as parts forming why not give him a cover for the back while they’re at it, it’s so bad from behind. Could of at very very least remolded the feet so they blend in better and look more like the back of a van instead of robot feet with huge gaps
My boy don't be playing with them releases...lol. Good looks on the video bro. I specifically go to your channel to see whats about to come out. I got these and the Amazon Seekers pack preordered. Waiting to see what's going to be in that new Netflix Mystery pack
Prowl looks awesome. Ironhide, on the other hand, looks...okay. I really think it would’ve been better if they had just made a brand new mold. With the way the legs transform, I see no reason as to why they couldn’t have put in a hinge that would allow us to fold the feet inside the vehicle mode.
These both look really good. I can accept Ironhide's feet hanging off the back of the vehicle mode as being some sort of toolbox or whatever. You see plenty of old vans with junk hanging off the back, it looks OK for Ironhide. People griping about this new Ironhide obviously never had to live through the 2008 Universe ABOMINATION. Prowl also looks fine. Now all we need are earth modes for Mirage (minor remold of Siege), Hound (who knows) and Sideswipe/Red Alert (remold from Siege) and most of the Siege Autobots are replaced (except Jetfire, Omega, etc... that are fine as is).
Feels like an homage to the original G1 Ironhide/Ratchet, who had their entire backs taken off to function has tiny bases/drone gun platforms. Ironhide's current version has a back that comes off to form as a useful shield. I hope Ratchet does too, or maybe a stretcher, just so he has a shield similar to the medics in Starcraft 2. Even his current blaster has a similar look to the original gun you could peg into the back mobile drone.
With Ironhide, I think the Allspark or Teletraan-1 would have half of his shield seperate, go up slightly and slide over the other half giving him a more armoured back. Something that would be too fragile for a toy unless it were made of graphine. And probably some sort door swing on his feet that might also fold up or whatever that may also be too fragile for plastic.
Because TAKARA Decided to give the Blacker SIEGE _"Selects"_ version of Smokey [the correct] G1 Silver/ grey firearms. Hoping nuts like us would buy both Figs. WHY ELSE,,, RIGHT? > To bad for them that when I finally run across Smokey at Walmart- I will also be buying A Grey or Silver paint pen (or $1.50 spray paint can). To remedy this issue.
the last prowl I have bought was back in the universe line... this version is so getting out of my collection! same smokescreen universe if they made a blustreak out of this mode, that wold be perfect!! so glad I preordered this set and the conehead too!! I think that thrust will be released as a special set, à la Siege Skywarp...
part of the reason for the parts forming on this and some figures is to liken them more to the g1 figures. this means the top of the van should become some kind of sled for ironhide like his original toy
I heard were getting tracks in kingdom also powerglide would've been very cool for earthrise plus I think he definitely in need of a new generations mold
Are the black thrusters or w/e they are on the shield effects part compatible? Because if so it would make the shield a pretty awesome multibarrel rocket launcher.
If Ironhide's van top/blast shield could have folded in once more while on his back and spread out in blast shield to better coverage it would be a must have for me. It's good! But I may stick with Siege. Prowl I'm definitely in for.
I do wish the shield/roof had a mobile combat station mode like the G1 figure or the BotCon redeco of Energon Toyline, but it could be difficult to engineer that in. Will we get a Ratchet at retail...? (I have this set preordered)
@@meep1998 Just saw that, yes, the Paradron Medic set. Maybe realistically online exclusives are smarter than retail, especially retail exclusives, but I do wish we had more new figures on the shelves.
Prowl looks great, no question. Really puts the Siege mold to shame. I wasn't as annoyed with the Siege version as you, but damn this is so much better. Ironhide... he looks alright. Probably the best pure-G1 Ironhide (CW doesn't count, Classics(?) was abysmal), but he suffers so much from being a Siege retool. The exposed feet I could forgive on Siege since it's Cybertronian, but here it's horrendous. The bit of shoulder on the window doesn't help. The shield I don't really mind since it's G1 accurate.
"There are very similar similarities." Ah, yes. This floor is made of floor
*"The water is pretty wet"*
This wall tastes like wall
Ah yes, the grass is made of grass
I'm just going to say this. I love the fact you are a fan in addition to being critical of certain aspects of the toy itself. It helps in your review. That said, I definately want these two even though it is kind of double dipping with the Siege toys.
Now *THAT* is a good looking Prowl figure. Ironhide's pretty cool too, I just wish he came with the missile launcher.
@Konstantins Zelcs 2 problems with that, though.
1: I don't have Earthrise Bumblebee, nor do I plan on getting him. I do have Cliffjumper, but...
2: I imagine Cliffjumper as the weapon specialist in my Autobot army. I would've given the missile launcher to Cliffjumper, so he could wield a grenade launcher in one hand, and a missile launcher in the other.
Konstantins Zelcs that’s funny that was the exact same thought i had when i saw the reveal pictures for bumblebee and ironhide, great minds think alike
I'm probably going to give Earthrise Iron Hide the weapon from his Siege counterpart.
They used the budget for the roof shield instead of the missile launcher
That Prowl figure is similar to the Classics design years ago for me. Skipping this even though that Ironhide looks interesting.
Ironhide’s shield also has a quad-barreled blaster in the part that sits over his feet in vehicle mode. The 5mm peg used for him to wield it in robot mode is on a slider that lets them extend.
Thanks so much for pointing that out!
PrimeVsPrime No problem. I saw it in TonTonReviews’ review of Ironhide.
PrimeVsPrime make sure to point that out in a review of a redeco maybe
@@PrimeVsPrime
I went on RUclips and someone just made replacement feet for ironhide and ratchet. Some other folk also made earth tires for both of them as well. Try checking them out.
Prowl's Siege head is way more 'G1' accurate than his Earthrise head. In fact, minus the paint, I'd say Earthrise is rockin' Bluestreak's head.
I agree 👍😊☺️☺️😊☺️😊☺️😊😊 with you
Melvin Bagby I think they swapped heads
thats what im thinking
In fairness, as this line is an homage to G1, you have to remove a helluva lot more from G1 Ironhide than just the roof
They are going for a cartoon accurate figure, not toy accurate.
Sorry, but more than a good reference it is just lazy engineering
Like ironhide or not, it's way better than his g1 appearance
But any one of the Ironhides (g1 inspired) is an improvement to his g1 toy so that's not saying much really.
Classics Ironhide is way better than his G1, but that’s doesn’t mean it does him any justice lol. I think between this and the masterpiece, these have been the best versions of Ironhide for a while though.
Or his Classics figure
Nate Lozoway
You mean the g1 toy right?
Eeerrrr
You get a lot of figures early and you always go into detail when you’re reviewing. One of the best transformer reviewers imo.
Thanks so much for ur support! :)
Dang. I was excited for this, but Ironhide is killing it for me.
This parts forming is really calm in comparison to the g1 toy
I think if the shield could fold in half so when you place it on the back there’s not a red brick hanging off it would probably be better. I really wish these could be sold separately like Earthrise skywarp and Thundercracker maybe they might do Netflix repaints for Earthrise so we can have those 2 pack figures separate
Awesomeguy951 not to praise the g1 toy, but this backpack should turn into a little base thing with a turret on it.
Starformer Ya! Honestly, it would’ve made the figure for me if it had that feature. Hopefully shockwave labs has a fix for this in the near future
I personally think Ironhide looks amazing. When I first heard about ironhide and prowl getting remolded into earthrise I was genuinely disappointed considering both siege ironhide and maybe prowl were already great figures but now looking at ironhide and prowl I gotta say I'm definitely getting this two pack.

Fun fact: Siege Ironhide had silver thighs, black shoulders and hands back when he was showcased in SDCC 2018.
Siege ironhide reminds me of a fire truck. Lol.
@Duck I said siege not earthrise
@@KaiBrix oh me dumb
Inferno???
Then we need earth rise inferno
I think of him as some kind of military truck but now you’ve said that I can’t unsee it
I so much appreciate that Prowl and Smokescreen have different hoods.
Why they aren't doing opaque windows for the entire Earthrise line as per the Prime and Cliffjumper figures is beyond me. Would hide the interiors better.
Only Cliffjumper's back window is opaque, and it's not really painted like a windshield, just blacked out. Do love what they did with Prime, though.
Probably for ReproLabels to make a quick buck with their awesome decals 🤔
Except their windows aren't opaque.

I seems that Ironhide's head is visible from the windshield again
*IT'S STARSCREAM!*
It looks like you can pop those thruster/guns out of Ironhides shield by sliding the arm peg down. It looks to be on a track system of sorts.

I would get this set for the Prowl only, we haven’t had a decent Prowl in a while in my opinion. ( not counting siege, siege is also good )

Thank you! 👍🏻👌🏻
It’s nemesis prime
Man, Prowl looks fantastic!
Prowl looks awesome. Ironhide, on the other hand, looks...okay. I really think it would’ve been better if they had just made a brand new mold. With the way the legs transform, I see no reason as to why they couldn’t have put in a hinge that would allow us to fold the feet inside the vehicle mode.
They did it again. They did it again! The second figure in siege where a big part of the vehicle mode comes off as a part of the transformation
These both look really good. I can accept Ironhide's feet hanging off the back of the vehicle mode as being some sort of toolbox or whatever. You see plenty of old vans with junk hanging off the back, it looks OK for Ironhide. People griping about this new Ironhide obviously never had to live through the 2008 Universe ABOMINATION.

Now all we need are earth modes for Mirage (minor remold of Siege), Hound (who knows) and Sideswipe/Red Alert (remold from Siege) and most of the Siege Autobots are replaced (except Jetfire, Omega, etc... that are fine as is).
this is why I have the combiner wars Ironhide since in my opinion the truck mode works way better.
Once again a outstanding review really good job man this was fun to watch and I like your input on both figures
Thank you very much!
My complaint with Ironhide is I can see his feet stick out, otherwise he's a great toy.!!
Thanks, also prowl, blue streak, smokescreen also have a feet situation the fact there hollow!!!👍👍👍
Thanks.
That prowl looks like perfection
I could see an ironhide upgrade kit in the works that adds the car roof parts to his arms in the transformation

18:40 wait a second smokescreen's weapons were grey so why are they blue here.
Because TAKARA Decided to give the Blacker SIEGE _"Selects"_ version of Smokey [the correct] G1 Silver/ grey firearms. Hoping nuts like us would buy both Figs.
WHY ELSE,,, RIGHT?
> To bad for them that when I finally run across Smokey at Walmart- I will also be buying A Grey or Silver paint pen (or $1.50 spray paint can). To remedy this issue.
Man, this looks so awesome! Ill definitely be picking these guys up
the last prowl I have bought was back in the universe line... this version is so getting out of my collection!
same smokescreen universe
if they made a blustreak out of this mode, that wold be perfect!!
so glad I preordered this set and the conehead too!!
I think that thrust will be released as a special set, à la Siege Skywarp...
That back of Ironhide HURTS
part of the reason for the parts forming on this and some figures is to liken them more to the g1 figures. this means the top of the van should become some kind of sled for ironhide like his original toy
Looks great. I'm totally getting a repaint of that mold that isn't Barricade or the Prowl bros.
wait in your smokescreen review his weapons were gray in this one they're blue it's the promotional pictures all over again
I love this new line, i really need a new tracks and powerglide
Ohhh I would LOVE a new Tracks based in the Masterpiece
I heard were getting tracks in kingdom also powerglide would've been very cool for earthrise plus I think he definitely in need of a new generations mold
Amazing review man, can't wait to be able to get my hands on these figures
1:51 Basically that’s a call back of the original G1 toy, so Ironhide’s head should be there.
That Ironhide looks epic I’m excited to get it
Ironhide had me laughing out loud. Its the same figure! Literally, the roof is the only major difference! Oh man, what were they thinking?
Ikr? It needed new engineering for sure!
I'll be adding it to my collection if Amazon ever ships it. I ordered it in August and it's now December.
These are out in November right? I'm pretty excited for it
I feel like it's 1984 all over again, only now I'm able enough to really enjoy it.
Are the black thrusters or w/e they are on the shield effects part compatible? Because if so it would make the shield a pretty awesome multibarrel rocket launcher.
They sure are!
If Ironhide's van top/blast shield could have folded in once more while on his back and spread out in blast shield to better coverage it would be a must have for me. It's good! But I may stick with Siege. Prowl I'm definitely in for.
Great review as always!
Thank you! :)
Hm... since the feet are just clipped on, maybe you could 3d print and paing some door-feet.
Maybe, I have a friend who does a great job at that!
Let's be real here: A shield that integrates into vehicle mode is just good storage
I do wish the shield/roof had a mobile combat station mode like the G1 figure or the BotCon redeco of Energon Toyline, but it could be difficult to engineer that in. Will we get a Ratchet at retail...? (I have this set preordered)
Robert M. It just got announced earlier today. It’s an amazon exclusive that comes with him and a green Arcee redeco named lifeline
@@meep1998 Just saw that, yes, the Paradron Medic set. Maybe realistically online exclusives are smarter than retail, especially retail exclusives, but I do wish we had more new figures on the shelves.

This 2 pack Amazon exclusive is a scalpers wet dream,and I'm not paying $200 to make some scalping leech rich.
I switched prowls heads when I got it. The siege has the g1 prowl head while the earlier has a bluestreak shaped head
Ironhide and prowl looks amazing, I can can't wait to get this 2 pack
Hope either reprolabels makes a panel for his arms in vehicle mode (ironhide) or a 3p company.
Prowl looks great, no question. Really puts the Siege mold to shame. I wasn't as annoyed with the Siege version as you, but damn this is so much better.
Ironhide... he looks alright. Probably the best pure-G1 Ironhide (CW doesn't count, Classics(?) was abysmal), but he suffers so much from being a Siege retool. The exposed feet I could forgive on Siege since it's Cybertronian, but here it's horrendous. The bit of shoulder on the window doesn't help. The shield I don't really mind since it's G1 accurate.
Man, the fact that Ironhide partsforms that hard and still looks that bad in vehicle mode really sucks imo
I agree
"red man partsforming"
actually talking about Cliffjumper
Siege sideswipe also suffered from the shoulders breaking up the vehicle mold. It seems really fixable from a design stand point.
Great review as always
I love the siege prowl mold.
