I don't like the clear windshield, so am trying to decide between Grey and Black windshield - I have some leftover toyhax labels from the Ratchet set that I figured I would play with.

Huh, I don't think I have to turn my ironhide's head.
I did notice one difference I had was the the "turntable" piece on my Ironhide that rotates the whole chest/head/arms assembly around for vehicle mode was quite stiff, to the point that turning it so that it would release and rotate required a scary amount of force. Ratchet doesn't hold up nearly as much.
And because I didn't go in for paid labels I fixed the clear chests in my Ratchet/Ironhide with a blue post-it note and bit of whiteout tape to replicate the opaque blue glass look from the G1 cartoon with the line of light/sheen on it. It's low tech and not as clean as professionally done stickers but it gets the job done. lol.
I'd post a picture but I don't have Ironhide on my shelf right now. Maybe I'll pull it out later and snap a pic.
