    Both look good to me. But I mostly want Starscream right now. But I'd be willing to get Ironhide too. We'll see...

    I want that Starscream so badly it hurts. His color scheme might not be accurate to the movie, but it certainly looks better next to my MP TC and soon to have Warper. I don't duplicate molds often and the seekers are a great excuse to own numerous copies of molds without having to dupe characters too. The Ironhide looks hot, except for the head.

    Well Ironhide looks pretty decent. The red actually does a good job of showing off the details of the mild much better than the black.

    But Starscream?!? What the hell??? They actually gave him the same paint scheme as US MP Starscream, including scorch marks, insignias and where the red shoulder/intakes would be! Cool idea, but horrible in practice! Wow, I actually feel bad for my MP lol

    Man, I kind of like these, but I know they are pointless recolors that really don't have a place in my collection.

    I am sorry sir, but I could not possibly disagree more your comment - I happen to know many fine prom dress-wearing pigs, and not one of them looks even half as hideous as a film franchise figure slathered with a coat of G1-inspired paint.

    Alt modes look decent even if Starscream being white instead of gray is a bit of an oddity as with Walscream vs. MP-11. The bot modes though.... leave much to be desired with those colors. I dig both Leader molds themselves very much but vastly prefer their movie accurate decos instead.

    I've always thought that painting the movie Ironhide red was just fugly.
    Starscream in G1 colors isn't so bad, but I do prefer to keep the worlds separated.

    I don't see putting out the bucks to get these.

    if i got these, they would stay in alt mode.
    starscream's bot mode is hideous, even by Bay-verse standards.

    I have the seekers trio in voyager class like this. I wonder how the three would look in vehicle mode. I don't mind this leader SS though

    I think it actually looks better with the white tailfins, but the original photos had SS with the traditional blue tailfins.

    I'm still tempted to get these guys.

    I love the colours but There are so many other Transformers coming out I can’t justify buying the figures when I have the originals.
