MP-27 Ironhide

Masterpiece Ironhide is a new mold that transforms into a licensed Cherry Vanette. He is in the standard Masterpiece scale (since MP-09), standing inbetween MP-10 Convoy and MP-12 Lambor in bot mode and can fit inside Convoy's trailer in vehicle mode He comes with a bunch of accessories referencing many of the gadgets he used in the Generation 1 cartoon. Ironhide's character model did not include any weapons or other extra tools or devices, meaning there was little to no consistency in the depiction of his armament in the series; as such, the toy picks and chooses from the many weapons and accoutrements he was seen using. He includes a pair of generic Autobot laser pistols of the same design as the gun that came with Masterpiece Bumblebee (which Ironhide began using in "Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1") which can be stored on the underside of his vehicle mode, a larger gun based on his original toy's Static Laser Gun (similar weapons having been seen in "City of Steel" and "A Prime Problem"), a set of alternate hands representing his ability to spray liquids through his fingertips (done in multiple episodes), a set of nozzles that can be exchanged for his hands based on those seen in "Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1", a second set of nozzles based not on anything from the cartoon, but on the connector peg for his Static Laser Gun from his original toy, the back-mounded missile launcher from "More than Meets the Eye, Part 3" based on his original toy's launcher, his wrist-mounted sonodar sensor dish from "S.O.S. Dinobots", complimented by a readout image of dinosaur bones that can be slipped behind his windshield, and the jetpack seen in "The Immobilizer", complete with jet-flare effects. A peg hole on the roof of his vehicle mode can hold one of the laser pistols or the Static Laser Gun. His second release for the Asian market included a die-cast version of the hand drill tool he used in "More than Meets the Eye, Part 3," packaged in a little black plastic "toolbox." Since Masterpiece Ironhide's robot mode incorporates the entire vehicle mode, a separate "battle sled" piece has been included, based on the component of the original toy, that can store all of Ironhide's accessories, including a second face piece that stores on the underside of the sled. In an additional nod to the original G1 toy, specifically its lack of a proper head, there is a sculpted detail resembling the "face" decal that went on the seat of the original toy that is visible through the windshield in van mode, that gets tucked away in robot mode. If purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, Ironhide includes a collector coin, mounted in a card which resembles the front of his van mode. It may have also included a die cast drill accessory, based on the one he used in "S.O.S. Dinobots". The drill accessory came in a small case styled to resemble a tool case.[2] Ironhide was retooled into Masterpiece Ratchet.
