All these people claiming stuff happened in the cartoon which didn't. Nowhere in the cartoon were Chromia, Moonracer and Firestar stated to be anyone's "girlfriends." Elita-One and Optimus were the only confirmed couple. The closest you got was a sarcastic remark from Starscream a disturbing number of fans took at face value. That's it. The only thing the cartoon did was act like the female Autobots were old war buddies of their male counterparts.
They didn't confirm it, but it was *HEAVILY* implied. Especially with Ironhide and Chromia. But I guess they scrapped that storyline (and the female Autobots) thereafter.
I only have him because He's the only good Ironhide (other than masterpiece)and I'm pretty sure your most anticipated figure was either six-gun or soundwave.
One cool thing about Ironhide and Ratchet is that because of the transformation, if you untab the front bumper from the head and windshield panel, they can lean from side to side quite well.
In the G1 episode "the search for alpha trion" the autobots left earth to cybertron. When Elita 1 was injured Optimus took her to cybertron. The other auto bots including inferno and iron hide met the fem bots. Iron hide reuniting with chromeia reveling that they were a couple
People don't know Optimubotimus, Energon Ironhide. How we love the G1 characters from the cartoons and how many years we didn't get proper toys. And now, holy hell. Siege is absolute perfection. The Transformers toys man, they started with Combiner Wars (G1 heaven). Then the near perfect Titans Return, more epicness in Power of the Primes (the mini decoy bots) and now nail in the coffin of criticism for Hasbro. Siege is even better than the Prime Trilogy (didn't think it was possible). Man I LOVE Ironhide and this guy is so great, nearly brought a tear to my eye. Als has the big lights like Optimus (God damn he's amazing). Great review and it joys me to see you also loving this guy. So happy to also see Ratchet photos crawling up because, we also need a Ratchet. Sideswipe was perfection, a great Megatron... oh my god Ultra Magnus is sooooo cool. Starscream Voyager and getting the whole seeker team as well released....
I have been wanting a good Ironhide figure to fit in with my Classics display. Seige Ironhide hit every note right. He very easily replaced Combiner Wars Ironhide.
He's a pretty solid release and a good size for a Deluxe Class TF. I was surprised to find him being more fun than he looks. Nice review. Keep 'em coming. I think Walgreens will have Ratchet sometime.
The way I look at siege is that normally the robot mode is comprised in order to make the vehicle mode look good but with siege it’s the other way around which I think is good because most people leave them in robot mode.
This figure could have been a home run, but that sea of unpainted plastic-particularly compared to the version that was debuted at SDCC last year-and those unpinned panels are a real bummer. Still, it is the best main line Ironhide by a country mile. I may have to just paint those tires and wheels myself.
I found this under thr shelf in target yesterday. Didnt know anything about him so i left him under the shelve. I might go back to buy him if hes cheap
I wasn't sold on the siege line until I picked up hound and sideswipe, now every time I see a new siege figure review come out, I want it. My bank account has other ideas though.
With the new Ironhide coming out, the prices of the Siege version are dropping fast. I scored this Ironhide as well as Siege Ratchet together for under $100. Considering how high these once were not bad for rare figures from a few years ago.
Picked this guy up a couple weeks ago. Only issue I have is the leg panels that fold for the back can are extremely loose and always pop off when transforming. Other than that, great figure.
There is a easy fix. The top hole is not large enough for the peg to go all the way in. Take a small drill bit that fits into the bottom hole perfect and run it up by hand into the top hole. It will open it to match the bottom and the panel will fit much better and not pop off as easy
I agree it's a great looking figure, one of the best Ironhide we've had in a long time! The Siege line really is quite amazing, the only thing I hate about it are the prices, 29,99$ for a Deluxe class?! That's just wrong! Anyway, awesome review, Paul!
My criticism: arms are hollow, a panel would have helped The panels on his legs are weak Inconsistent Paint ("weathering" at the feet looks heavy handed) The translucent window is really distracting and makes him look more hollow. He is no where close to being a perfect figure.
Personally, I believe Ironhide is the superior figure in the entire line so far. He actually looks Cybertronian in both modes. He’s not just straight up G1 with additional mechanical detail. It actually looks like effort was out into him to make him look Cybertronian.
@@r.davidhill7639 I mean he is a good shelf piece especially with his micro masters, but his forearms really bother me. As a whole, I liked starscream more despite his chestplate. Also, both of soundwave's alternate modes were lack luster.
Something I thought would be nice for siege. Make shockwave a voyager class and have a galvatron or taron leader class. Taron is a leader of a decepticon team that hunted targets with his crew he was in the lost light series I think. I pick this cause the shockwave leader is nice but I could be a voyager and galvatron and taron I think are cool characters.
You haven’t seen the idw comics? H...how? Idw displays the most character development in the transformers! Especially in the MTMTE saga and the lost light saga!
My main issues with soundwave are his arms (does not cover his hollow space and this his hands are stationary) and he had a very poor alternate mode (I think that his "lampost" mode was not intended until they finished the figure).
He is as much of a retool of kup ( he was not a retool, they just share some engineering) as The last Knight Bumblebee was to the dark of the moon Bumblebee.
i like them bath equally, i am enjoying the siege series because it shows they are still capable of doing actuality figures, as i have become more and more disappointed in hasbro the last few years with the transformers just going down hill for the most part, in a awful downward spiral in quality..so many are turning out these chinsey flimsy plastic dollar-store-eqsue toys... sothe studio and hte seige series gives me hope
How could you possibly call yourself a G1 fan if you haven't even watched the episode "The Search for Alpha Trion"? Chromia was Ironhide's girlfriend (puzzling I know, since it was one episode)! Since Ironhide's here, Ratchet won't be far behind...
@@CayeDaws Okay, so the G1 cartoon was very long (until Rescue Bots broke that record), but still... he could have researched at least. I apologize if I was rude.

completely agree

Lol i was watching your MPM 06 Ironhide review
I have been wanting a good Ironhide figure to fit in with my Classics display. Seige Ironhide hit every note right. He very easily replaced Combiner Wars Ironhide.
His weapon reminds me of Nora’s weapon from RWBY since they both transform from explosive launchers into hammers.
THIS and the coming walgreens RATCHET to go along with future third party G1 version of
MP-44 Optimus Prime
Best Ironhide the CHUG line has ever had.
Indeed.
CHUG?????
@@araknidude Classics, Henkei, Universe/United, and Generations.
@@araknidude Articulated figures that resemble old cartoons.
It was implied in the episode, on Cybertron when we see the female Autobots you can tell when they reunite and start interactions with each other.
9:23 :to you it may be wrong, but to those who transform him the way they do, it may be just a preference ;
Stellar review as usual :)
He's a pretty solid release and a good size for a Deluxe Class TF. I was surprised to find him being more fun than he looks. Nice review. Keep 'em coming. I think Walgreens will have Ratchet sometime.
I wish I could have painted the "wear". I would have made it look GOOD! Nice dry-brushing...
The way I look at siege is that normally the robot mode is comprised in order to make the vehicle mode look good but with siege it’s the other way around which I think is good because most people leave them in robot mode.
Looking forward to prowl? That’s my guess and I am definitely picking this guy up!

ooh, that's a good idea, painting the wheels. (i just opened him today)
This might be my favorite figure from siege line. I love both the robot and alternate modes
I found this under thr shelf in target yesterday. Didnt know anything about him so i left him under the shelve. I might go back to buy him if hes cheap
This figure looks amazing! Really hope they do ratchet also; oh and btw, ironhide and chromia being a couple was a thing since g1 lol
I might be wrong, but I recal reading somewhere that ratchet was going to be done, but would be somekind of an exclusive
Rayne Kraven I hope some online stores have it because I want it.
I think Ratchet is supposed to be a Walgreens exclusive, cause he appeared on their registry
I ended up painting the inside of his window because I detest translucent windows. He looks better with a silver window.
@@SuperZiggyCraft yep or else its ebay....

Lots of similarities and lots of differences, like the near-absence of Yellow. So kind of Night & Day, but also not really.
It translate to Optibotimus rules!

Optibotimus lost for words! 😄 great review
Chromia and ironhide being a couple is a g1 cartoon thing
Nooooooooooootttttttt
wilder but it was though, it literally was
I agree it's a great looking figure, one of the best Ironhide we've had in a long time! The Siege line really is quite amazing, the only thing I hate about it are the prices, 29,99$ for a Deluxe class?! That's just wrong! Anyway, awesome review, Paul!
Deluxe, if you buy from the store is 19.99. Online, he is 30.00
Lol 150$ now
Thanks for the review. Do the leg panels fall off easily?
Awesome video! You've done it again, Paul!
Ayyee that ending speech was amazing
But Primeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
I feel like iornhide should be a voyager and starscream should be a deluxe. Either way great figure,great review, well spent money
Still and will always be the best review
They did have a thing durying the G1 cartoon.
Those dislikes are from the g1 toy fans
I have been watching your videos since 2009
Damn this looks like a great figure
I have it and I must say its a 50/50
Parts fall off easily but its transformation is satisfying and it feels good to hold!
Yeah it's 50/50
My criticism:
arms are hollow, a panel would have helped
The panels on his legs are weak
Inconsistent Paint ("weathering" at the feet looks heavy handed)

Today i got ss 14 ironhide yay
So in your opinion which is better? Siege optimus prime or the studio series bumblee movie optimus prime?
What are you using as a light to reveal the writing on the box
I can’t get my light to cooperate any suggestions
Siege line will not replace my Classics figures. I was hoping Sideswipe would but he's too small.
I picked him up the other night. I'm digging him so much. Oh I think the other you're looking forward to is Soundwave!
I was actually very disappointed with the Soundwave. I prefer Starscream.
@@CayeDaws Soundwave disappointed you? I'll take that under advisory.
@@r.davidhill7639 I mean he is a good shelf piece especially with his micro masters, but his forearms really bother me. As a whole, I liked starscream more despite his chestplate. Also, both of soundwave's alternate modes were lack luster.
i would love to see the armada designs in the siege toy line.
does anyone know where to get a siege Ironhide I missed out and I would love to buy one
Hammer weapon suits Ironhide's warrior power type character.
Hope we get a Ratchet based on this mold
Man I need this figure.

Do you mean Tarn?
Chroma was his girlfriend in the G1 cartoon series. She appeared with Elita-1, Moonracer, and Firestar in the episode "The Search for Alpha Trion".
4:21 How are you gonna be a G1 GOD when you didn't even know Ironhide and Chromia were a thing SMH lol.
I HAVE THE IRONHIDE AND IT IS AWESOME
its a damn good figure
I have this figure and he is awesome. to bad I can’t find his blaster
Chromia was his girlfriend in the g1 cartoon
In the idw
comic it was a thing but ironhide had to arrest chromia
is ironhide the low stock of wave 2. he's not available from amazon and everytime i've been instore i never see him.
I like your intros
hey optibotimus are you gonna review ratchet when he comes out?
Did they confirm a ratchet?
@@bulbafett5787 they need to
@@OldAccount-sm2iq But has it been confirmed yet?
@@CayeDaws I hope so
@@OldAccount-sm2iq According to tf wiki Ratchet will not be part of this toyline, meaning that he was not listed.
Siege needs to make a bumblebee figure
You haven’t seen the idw comics? H...how? Idw displays the most character development in the transformers! Especially in the MTMTE saga and the lost light saga!
This is cool!
Someone needs to make an upgrade kit that gives him more better wheels, movie like cannons and probably maybe more posible feet
The side panels on his leg on my figure is loose and pops off really easy..
Just got Starscream and Soundwave today!
Both fantastic but haven't transformed Soundwave as I don't care for its alt mode.
Use his secert lamppost mode
I really did not enjoy sound wave that much. Starscream however, despite his chest plate is way better than siege Soundwave and his cassettes.
Soundwave just looks good as a G1 robot and stands nicely on my display.
My main issues with soundwave are his arms (does not cover his hollow space and this his hands are stationary) and he had a very poor alternate mode (I think that his "lampost" mode was not intended until they finished the figure).
The figure is also a retool of kup from titans return
According to Tfwiki this is a new mold.
He is as much of a retool of kup ( he was not a retool, they just share some engineering) as The last Knight Bumblebee was to the dark of the moon Bumblebee.
I kinda visualize how Ratchet will be like...
Have you seen the new Siege Omega Supreme ?
Yesssss
The classics Prowl and Jazz are still vastly superior to the new versions but otherwise Seige are blowing the old classics out of the water.
i like them bath equally, i am enjoying the siege series because it shows they are still capable of doing actuality figures, as i have become more and more disappointed in hasbro the last few years with the transformers just going down hill for the most part, in a awful downward spiral in quality..so many are turning out these chinsey flimsy plastic dollar-store-eqsue toys... sothe studio and hte seige series gives me hope
Keen figure and review
You praise G1 yet you barely remember it.
Like dude, it was the only episode that even HAD Chromia in it!
good toys
im betting the second figure in wave 2 is sixgun
He looks Like Kup.
why zephyr and josh nilk say play the box?
Generations/Classics Ironhide wasn't bad?
Have a word with yourself :D
Please make Jazz!
Just nailed a siege ironhide+reprolabel for $16 total free ship on #ebay

There are 100 episodes to that show, and each episode is half an hour. He missed one episode, get over it
