IGear PP05 Medical Specialists Coming This Month - Not Ironhide Figure Finally On The Way

Recommended Posts

now that Takara is releasing MP versions of the smaller Autobot vehicles, i believe its only a matter of time until they tackle Ironhide/Ratchet. So i'll pass.

I'd rather not get an MP version as it'll most likely have the van split in half to form the battle sled, and robot just like the G1 toy. It would be way too expensive for an official Takara release that includes a sled most of us wouldn't want, not to mention that the only way to get the robot mode to appear the be a proper size next to MP-10 and MP-12 would require the van to be huge.

 

I think you are crazy if you think they would even try to make it like the original toy. :P ....what a piece of garbage those figures are....nothing like the show....I agree that it will be inevitable that a MP ironside and ratchet would be made. I'm sure Takara would give us some little surprises for them.....I think these would be the hardest one to come up with a good alt mode. They definitely need an updated version but of what? Since it is MP it needs to be like the original G1 cartoon, but not sure how they could update though. I know if they did them they would have real rubber tires...I still can't figure out why they didn't release obvious alternator repaints of skids into these 2....as well as the one repaint everyone expected.....frenzy......

The MP Line is all about homaging both the character model from animation, and the original toys, every release so far including the upcoming Soundwave Sideswipe and Red Alert all follow this formula, so you're kidding yourself if you think an MP release of Ironhide and Ratchet would be one piece figures, that's not gonna happen, it would radically change what is currently defined as the Masterpiece line. So sorry no not crazy, if MP Ironhide and Ratchet are on the way, they will have their sleds, and those sleds will be part of their vehicle mode, this is why I don't want them in the MP line.

Maybe Takara-Tomy would make an exception regarding Ironhide and Ratchet. They sure didn't have their battle stations in the cartoon. There also could be a practical reason, that there won't be enough bulk leftover to make a decent robot mode.

Am I the only one who doesnt hate G1 Ratchet and Ironhide toys? I admit they are terrible representations of the cartoon characters, rather boring alt modes, and no real head to speak of, but I think they are really fun toys. If you just look at them as toys, you get a bot and a battle station that transform rather neatly into a vehicle.

I would be fine with MP versions that included their sleds, but I would also be fine with it if they just engineered a really good bot mode that looked just like the toons.

 

I think you are crazy if you think I am crazy just because you think that I am crazy because I think you are crazy. Maybe I am just a little crazy.

IMHO Below:

 

I'm not a fan of the 1984 ironhide/ratchet smaller robot combining with the back van part in robot mode. energon & botcon gave us homage toys like this & they looked awful.

 

I highly doubt we'll be getting a dozen+ 1984-1985 MP TF Autobots car/bots. I don't want to see this happen. as it'll be a royal nightmare. THIS IS WHAT GENERATIONS IS FOR NOT THE MP TF toy line.

 

I'd rather the MP TF toy line get used to give us/me all the TF faction leaders,second in commands. bigger singular robots. japanese exclusive faction leaders & second in commmands.

So, MP is only there to provide us with leaders, lieutenants cityformers and representations of obscure Japanese figures?

 

How in the world would MP make their money back doing this?

 

How would doing the G1 Autobot cars be a royal nightmare? Generations, etc. are homages to popular G1 characters. MP IS those G1 characters on Barry Bonds levels of doping. I'm not seeing the nightmare here.

:agree

 

Generations are basic updated homages to TF characters. Homages being they look like but aren't meant to be EXACTLY the same as their G1 or previous likeness. For example: Warpath was a deluxe sized tank because making a legends size tank (which they already did) seemed silly.

 

MPs are for the collector to likes high detail and quality figures (with the matching price tag) of which the figures meld the G1 toy and Anime designs together to form the ultimate toy possible.

 

I look forward to all of the G1 cars being made in the MP line. I'm sure all the Autobot cars won't be done in straight succession. There will be Decepticons thrown in the mix. I really do hope the Cone Heads get their day in the sun.

Looking forward to (hopefully) Trailbreaker. I've got a soft spot for the insecure cheerleader as he was the first TF I ever had. Bring it on!

 

@ Jeffafa: no, you're not the only one who doesn't hate the G1 Nissan Oneboxes. They were meant to look like what they looked like--Hasbro marketed them as something different. What can you do?

I beg to differ since the introduction of the Movie figures into,the MP line, so I think that if they made them they wouldn't dare to make after those horrible garbage figures and would make them like the show.....so I think you are crazy if your think they would make them after the old figures....:D

The movie characters had their own MP line, they were all Hasbro created figures, and that line was canceled after what, 3 entries? It was because of that line that Takara solidified the main definition of the MP line, I'm not crazy, you're delusional if you think any future MP release will feature a complete focus on the animation model and none on the original toy. It would go against what Takara has been trying to establish in the MP line, if you want a complete redesign go ahead and buy the Generations Ironhide and Ratchet, or the Igear Ironhide and Ratchet, but don't bitch when the MP comes out and it does homage the toy as much as the character model, because if it didn't it would have no place in the MP line.
