Imagine if Missing Link does Unicron and it's a new design instead of one of the prototypes. I'm sure they could make something that looks better but that wouldn't be the point.
I don't hate that design. The sound box is stupid. It's a fair contender to be Exhibit A for "UT critics had a fair point about the gimmicks sometimes." But other than that highly conspicuous flaw, I see the potential. The shirt and pants modes actually look pretty good.
Why is it always Ironhide?
It's Masterpiece Ironhide all over again, sorta. Instead of going from a fully toy style to an attempted blended style, in that case they went from a blended style to an attempted fully toon style. And the same thing happened. It doesn't do one thing convincingly...
I'm fully aware I'm being unreasonable, but I'm not that unreasonable. I wish we could all have an Ironhide that makes us happy. I just think those who wouldn't have been interested in a fully toy based Missing Link Ironhide would stand a decent chance of being satisfied by some other Ironhide...
Plus you kinda need to take a trip to the wiki to figure out the recommended reading order for a lot of this stuff, and at that point it's so easy to just stay there and read the summaries.
Overcharge is definitely on my "When I have money and can breathe again" list. I like that color scheme, and the design looks fine to me. Especially since someone came up with a fanmode that turns the jet mode's tank kibble into a flight stand. It's hilarious and awesome.

There it is.
JUST SAY YOU LIKE THE IRONHIDE. Don't make up jive to try to justify being happy with it. Just say it's a good looking Ironhide and you like it. It's okay. I like it too in a vacuum. Just don't make up jive and tell me I'm missing the point.
They did not make up a whole new design...
The main thing filtering all the words that have been trying to escape my head since this was revealed is that it does look good. Don't tell me it looks convincingly like a Diaclone design. Don't tell me this is exactly what Missing Link has been since day one and I just hallucinated otherwise...
I tried quitting coffee once. I was unable to feel stress. That sounds nice, but it's not so nice when you're staring at your alarm clock, realizing you're late for something, and not feeling any jolt from it. That felt trippy in a bad way, knowing I should be feeling a jolt of stress or...
