Re: Dumb question: MP Ironhide?
I agree that Shogo Hasui (the dude who did it right) was probably the Wayne Gretzky of transforming toy design. That said, Mr. Kobayashi (MP22, MP11 among others) is no slouch. Ironhide is not like sideswipe or prowl or wheel jack or even bumblebee, but he is still better than anything else out there that resembles Ironhide IMO. Maybe we, as collectors, need to adjust our standards? I don't know, but I've heard that Hasui still works for Takara, but is in a different section now. Maybe we should petition?
