FWI-2 Weapons Upgrade for Leader DOTM Ironhide Color Images

go back to the last post about this. I totally predicted that thos swords were capable of dual wielding! Those swords are awesome!!!

I like this but just can't justify spending 3rd party prices for this.

i'd rather spend 3rd party prices on new figures & not just weapons/accessories.

Know what Deathy? When you can't justify doing something, sometimes it the one thing you'll enjoy the most. Sometimes, Accessories are just the thing a lame toy needs to be badass! But that's just IMHO...

Even for Ironhide, I find this set over powers the figure.

only 30 bucks = mine

Do one for the voyager ironhide and also make a red version.

This is a really cool set! I'm pretty tempted to get it. Also makes me want the one for starscream . I wonder if they will release upgrades for rotf leader prime megatron and jetfire and movie one leader megatron; I would buy those!

It all looks nice but it's just too big.

Do they attach to the vehicle mode? Stealth force?If so i'll get it right now . if not a little later. Looks great options are nice.To think maybe he could have had an epic battle with Sentinel.

these pics look great
the guns really bulk out the figure and the blades add a good movement to the form

These look great, they really make the figure better.

But still, I can't get over those blue legs. And I don't like to paint my Transformers.

+ It's not such a great figure overall.

Site sponsor Robotkingdom has updated their facebook page with in-package images of the FWI-2 weapons upgrade for Transformers DOTM Leader Class Ironhide. The set can be pre-ordered by clicking here, it's priced at $19.90 and scheduled to release this month.

damn they actually look kinda awesome

Will this work on older versions/repaints from the first and second TF movie lines?

Doubt it, it's specifically designed for DOTM Leader Class.

definitely grabbing this
the price point seems on point for this

The forearm mounted guns look much better then what's actually on the toy and that sword is pretty damn cool. Might actually get these things if they keep to the $20 charge.

The weapons them selves look good and on him But ive had that Ironhide and he is a chunky figure and with those guns on his kibble heavy arms hes gonna need a shelf to himself.

It's easy enough to pop the arm kibble off.

But even if you don't, this will help hide it a bit.

The folks over at the Transformers Galaxy Hong Kong Fans Group have received their FWI-2 weapons upgrade for Transformers DOTM Leader Class Ironhide and posted some in-hand images. The set is designed to give Ironhide more movie accurate cannons and comes with battle blades. Images mirrored below.

Makes the figure look much more desirable! Good job FWI!

great shots
looking forward to getting mine

EDIT: just received my shipment notice from TFSource

Meh, I'll stick with what I have:

the molds look great, but plain plastic = plain. needs more paint.

Wow. I'm glad someone posted a 'before' pic. That's a HUGE HUGE HUGE difference. If I collected the movie lines, I'd have to cave and get this. Looks great.

No.... I just can't bring myself to use the Michael Bay explosion emoticon, in spite of how awesome these are. I'd just feel... dirty. Can't wash away... the stain.... water won't go hot enough....

these look better than i thought they would.

These just look too large for the toy and I don't see how they can be called accurate. Maybe if they were painted or something, they would look better. Nah, I'm happy with Ironhide as-is.

Thanks for helping me out there, LapseOfReason.

just got mine in
they make IHide look diesel
would have preferred a cheaper price, but aesthetically, completely worth it

I ordered my kit after the restock at RK.com Just got it today. I LOVE it! Yes, the weapons are big, but have you looked at what size they are in the first movie? He's a weapons expert. He SUPPOSED to have huge guns!

Now the swords, that's a different story. Did Ironhide use them at all in any of the 3 movies? If so, I'll utilize them on my fig. If not, I'll just keep them in the box.

BTW, RK did a great job color matching the gray. These parts blend right in. They are heavy and can cause the arms to droop sometimes, but there are some screws holding Ironhide's arms together and you can tighten them a tad to help with that. Just wish the shoulder mount could be tightened.

If the red version of Leader Ironhide makes it to the US, I may have to order a second set!

I hope the mentioned G1 repaint of Movie Leader Ironhide makes it across the pond this year, or at least available via the Electronic Bay for a reasonable price.
I would make the new version my Ironhide and use old version as maybe Trailbreaker..?
Has anyone used Leader Ironhide as a Trailbreaker, or any other character..?

Back on topic, these Fans Want It upgrade sets can be snatched up on the 'bay for quite a good price, even to the U.K.!
