Following up on our Generations toy news earlier, Toys2mail Station has updated their Facebook page with a new look at the upcoming Asia exclusive Generation 1 repaints of Hunt for The Decepticons Leader Class Starscream and Dark of the Moon Leader Class Ironhide. This new image shows the back of the boxes for these two figures from a catalog scan. As opposed to the first time we saw these figure way back in March, the boxes are now coming in Generations packaging and not movie-style packaging.

Take a look at the image after the break!

We've seen them, but no release date was heard. Will be nice for those who are interested in these.

ironhide actually doesn't look that bad IMO. he just needs to be transformed right and painted with a gold stripe and he's perfect

I was looking forward to the G1 Starscream deco, less so now. The Target exclusive from movie 1 is fine with me.

Digging that Ironhide, though. I hope he makes it stateside.

it seems those may be japan generations exlcusives instead of Movie trilogy as it says generations there

If it could be gotten for *super* cheap, I'd get the Starscream to leave in jet mode and pretend it transforms into E.J. Su's IDW Starscream.

Starscream looks okay, but the Ironhide looks nice (a bit better than the DotM Cannon Force toy). I'd like to pick both of these up, but I'm not going to stress it. I can't imagine these selling out very quickly.
ThisGuy
I hope that pre-orders for these Asian markets exclusives come up soon. I want a lot of them.
NEST SOLDIER
I like SS, but I'll pass on Ironhide. I liked the cannon force Ironhide color scheme better.
Max Rawhide
Ironhide is meh at best.

The leader Starscream mold is so good it deserves to get multipe repaints. This, however, is not an interesting repaint. There already is a movie Starscream so why would I buy one in the G1 colors (that look bad on this mold IMO).

Now, if they'd release it in a Blue Angels deco (Thundercracker) or a stealth black deco (Skywarp)...then I would definitely buy.

If they would have given Iron Hide a G1-ish head sculpt, that would have been the shit. So pass. The Starscream just doesnt work, for me. Pass on that too.

Perhaps. I'm not really sure of that at all though. After all, while the jury's still out, the Asia Exclusives like Springer, Cliffjumper nad Brawn that did as you suggest have been described as 'Frankenseined'.

There's not a single thing that needs redeemed from "movie anything"

I dig both of these quite a bit, I'd pick them up if they weren't exclusives
kajobaldisimo
these are awesome molds and these are awesome repaints! i'm buying.

These will remain the movie characters for me, not the G1 characters.

Still, these are the color schemes the two should have had originally.

This is what Shattered Glass tfw2005 looks like.
Rijie78
Interesting, and I'm sure there are those that like them, but (as usual) proving why the G1 colouring wouldn't and doesn't work with the Movie aesthetic. Will be sticking with my MPM Leader Starscream, personally.

Repainted Movie Leaders uinthe Classics line? No thanks. Movie character designs have their place and it ain't in the Classics line.

1. These are Asian HASBRO market releases (as in, China, Singapore etc.), not "Japan".

2. We've known that for a while.

No in Shattered Glass TFW2005 people are allowed to express their fondness for a toy w/o someone feeling compelled to dump on their preferences.

Generations is not Classics. There's a subtle hint in the fact the name is plural.
primetimeguy
i wanna get ironhide so bad
Stormcrow
Starscream in blackface?

Bad form.
CelticMutt
I like G1. I've grown to like the Movies aesthetic. And for some characters mixing the two works, like Thundercracker, or toys only Powerglide (who's AWESOME) or Guzzle. But I really don't like the G1 colors on Starscream. It just looks, I dunno, too cartoony. Which doesn't really work for the Movie aesthetic.
RedAlert Rescue
Shame that Ironhide mould has far to many design flaws as the idea of a red one is a good one it's just the mould is beyond terrible with far to many issues with the way the product is designed. the nicest thing I can say about it is the truck mode is nice.

Personally I'd rather of had a Leader Thundercracker with a new head. Or a straight repaint as Skywarp or Ramjet - I tend to feel Ramjet looks the the least bland colour wise with the F-22 leader mould but the other two would be neat too. a 3rd starscream leader toy seems a bit redundant to me.
FatalT 71
Movie Starscream just looks weird in the G1 scheme...maybe more pictures would help.
Galvatron Rage
I'm kinda surprised that people are so "meh" for that Leader Ironhide. I thought that figure was really cool as-is, but to FINALLY have a movie Ironhide it in solid-red G1 colors - and it's Leader Class? Love it!

EDIT: Oh, and the Starscream? I don't know.....it looks fantastic to me in F-22 mode, but the colors seem a little bright and gaudy in robot mode. Ehhh, I guess I'll need to see more pictures.

LOL.
Dansproject
I hate F-22s even more than I hate Movie Starscream, yet I desperately want this repaint. TC and SW would be awesome, too.
plowking
I think I want that SS....
EnerJohn
Here we go again! I would love to have these!! I would love to have a movie 1 leader Starscream, instead of the tattooed 1, but it's all Asia exclusive!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Autovolt 127
They do look sweet but not sweet enough to pay a lot off the internet ,uch like DOTM Que.
The Bucket Kitten
They look nice, but I don't like the Leader Ironhide Mold and I already own the Leader Starscream mold in movie accurate colors.

Those dirty rotton sons a' bitches..

Ive wanted a G1 colored leader scream and red IH.....SO BAD..

If these dont come over here...I dunno...I'll...I'll do SOMETHIN....I'll...RELEASE THE KRAKEN...
avengerboy123
hmmmm no Asian writing on the box makes me think...
Ultra BuckNutz
I've never purchased a Leader class from overseas. What is the typical markup? E.g., a deluxe is about three times the cost ($40 instead of $13). Is a Leader going to set me back about $130?
Barricade24
I have wanted a G1 colored Starscream for years now and finally one comes out. Starscream is a must. I'm unsure about Ironhide though.
Bountyan
Not interested in these at all. The only time G1 colors for a movie figure worked was with 2007 Jazz.
GeoKaiser
Ironhide is awesome! Hopefully there will be a recolored cannon add on set.

Starscream's head bugs me. Looks like The Gimp. Jet mode is cool tho.
Ceasar121
When a preorder goes up, these are bought. Really loving that Starscream.
SpiderVenom13
Starscream looks pretty sweet, not so sure about Ironhide though.
Thenames9
They look horrible.
Batman
I am pretty fond of red Ironhide from the ROTF game. That mold is horrible though.
Exodus
And Hasbro is kicking this out? Fail.
Timesynch
They look neat with the quirky G1-inspired decos but I doubt I'll pick these up. I'm perfectly happy with the more movie-accurate molds I already have.

You are right. G1 colors look so out of place itīs not even funny. These molds deserve better.
BlueAngel_Bolt
Those look awesome. I always loved the Raptor in G1 colors. Ironhide is a bonus and the mold is simply fun in my opinion.
Satomiblood
The jet mode looks great in those colors, but the bot mode is awkward by comparison.
knoted
Moving targets. Always something to b1tch about.
Fallout
starscream would be a lot better if his head was retooled like the first movie's target-exclusive voyager. his normal movie head looks bad in black.
