Do yourself a favor and watch this review. I've been waiting for some side-by-side comparisons with the HA Autobots- he looks AWESOME with Bee and Jazz! And OMG, I didn't know the cannons were activated in alt mode like that, totally cool. The leg dagger is pure win, the little pistol somewhat less so.

I wish the feet were more accurate, such as having heels fold out of the rear of the foot instad of just a chunk of truck back there. And I'm pretty sure I'll be making his arm and back kibble removeable. And putting some black or silver/gray on some of that blue.

For me, it looks like the pluses far outway the minuses, an absolute must-buy. And the reviewer is hilarious, esp. his cat. Heh.

Ok optibotimus, you win, you've convinced me. I'm gonna pick him up over the voyager. Sad I didn't get to see the other HA figures in you group shot.

Well, now that we seem to be getting all of the normal figures in Leader class or HA scale, I am thinking about picking them all up nowand making a new shelf for all of them. So to answer your question, just the rest of the HA autobots in robot form will do. I'm guessing that Sideswipe, Mudflap, and Skids look just as good with Ironhide, OP, 'Bee, and Jazz but a group shot of all of them would be epic. Looks like I'm going to be dropping some more money. lol

Ok so the figure looks great. If its so in scale with the human alliance line then why didnt they just make a human alliance ironhide with lennox in the first place????????????? :grin:

They might've been planning to do that...The Human Alliance boxes have WAY too much space for the cars on their own. They must have them at that size for a reason! (You never know, they may be planning to do a HA Ratchet, which I seriously want, seeing as he is slightly smaller than Ironhide!)

Anyway, they review was great! Peaugh may have some competition! Haha loved how it turned into 'CSI: Cat Scene Investigation' (But just to be picky, I know for a fact that the the Leader Prime is the same scale as Voyager Ironhide and Deluxe Bumblebee, etc)

But yep; that's another on my list!

I'm much less impressed after the review. Excessive kibble in both modes (especially alt mode,) blue legs are a turn off, and so are the feet. Transformation is also lacking (IMO) for a figure of that price point. About the only things left I'm really impressed with is it scales decently with the larger figures and the knife is pretty sweet. I can see the gimmicks being a plus to some, especially kids, but they generally don't factor in too much with my decision to buy a figure as I don't really get much "play value" out of a figure beyond transforming it...I actually find the gimmicks a detriment to the figure much of the time. Anyhow, the figure went from one of the few of interest in the line to a fairly weak maybe.
