We some new in-hand images of the upcoming Transformers Dark of the Moon repaints Lunar Fire Optimus Prime and Cannon Force Ironhide.

First up we have the Voyager wave 1 Ironhide repaint Cannon Force Ironhide, which finally gives fans a red version of movie universe Ironhide. Images come to us from eBay seller riflescopeshop, unfortunately no robot mode images.

Next we have Lunar Fire Optimus Prime, a repaint of the Wal-Mart Exclusive Deluxe Optimus Prime featuring the MechTech weapon from Voyager wave one Optimus Prime. Like the original figure this guy will also we a Wal-Mart exclusive. Images courtesy of HK-TF.

Ironhide is Trailbreaker, no?

Are there robot mode pics?

It sucks that they FINALLY made a red Ironhide and it's THAT mold.

I've always considered him more of "Trailbreaker", thanks to his blue repaints (Trailbreaker had a blue version in Diaclone). And that red repaint is mine. Red and blue are my favourite colors don't you know

Damn, I wish I hadn't bought Wave 1 Voyager Ironhide. I love this repaint.

I'm glad I didn't buy the Deluxe OP yet. I figured a better version would come along, and I love the addition of the oversized MechTech weapon(s), giving him awesome firepower!

He comes with one gun. The poster just gave him an extra for the pics.

I hope those black bits on top of the side windows get fixed on the final version for Ironhide, but knowing Hasbro they probably won't...oh well, I'll get it anyway since I've been waiting so long for a red Ironhide. Not interested in Prime.

Hmm, and now that you guys mention Ironhide looks like Trailbreaker, it's kinda true, and that makes me more interested...

The two tone paint job sucks. Why must it have black ??? And who took the time to produce and edit beautiful vechicle mode photos but was to lazy to transform him and take robot pics ???

I figured that was the case, but he looks good with two.

Really like how that Ironhide turned out, can't wait to see the robot mode.

I'm gonna save a lot of money on this DOTM line with all the crappy repaints that are coming out.

That Ironhide still looks **** with those mechtech nipples.

Well, those are terrible. >:oP

This makes me think about how cool it would be if the packaging for figures came with a cardboard foldout base that was perhaps different for each figure, just so that you could give each of them a varying backdrop to pose against. The PCC inside cardboard has got some cool technical art that I have already used.

why is ironhide orange? its close enough to red for me to buy it but why is hasbro so against making a red ironhide? its either pink or orange with these guys

Thu Aug 25, 2011 3:35 pm

I think I'll get both...........

To quote Christian Bale..."NO!!!"

You know that the Cyberverse playsets all have a diorama to do just that.

Thats pretty awesome. Too bad I don't care for cyberverse... it'd be nice to see that implemented into voyager figure packaging.
