Official Images of DA15 Jetwing Optimus Prime and DA16 Ultimate Ironhide

Argh! What the heck did they do to Ironhide's legs?

I think they just put some jeans on Ironhide and called it a day. I christen this version "Levi's Ironhide."

Ironhide looks identical to the Hasbro version I got recently.

I would like some clarification as to what the hell the differences are from Jetwing to Ultimate - people keep saying that Ultimate has the trailer, (I have one on preorder at BBTS, whether I'll keep the preorder on when it starts to ship, I dunno, I haven't made up my mind yet)

This Jetwing Prime in alt mode looks more and more like the trailer/back section/whatever it is, is 'mid-transformation' of the truck-trailer into this kind of 'not quite whats in DOTM, but it'll do" re-use of the Leader Prime mold.

Now, if we just knew what on earth this 'Ultra Prime' for $200 is from Takara, we could make a 'best choice' out of the 3....

I think the Ironhide should be the same as Hasbro's one. I would guess is these pictures are photoshopped and perhaps have lighten the values too much causing the picture to look a little to light.

Jetwing Pirme and Ultimate Prime are completely different figures. Ultimate Optimus' wings can turn into a trailer, like it does in the movie, but looks hideously non-screen-accurate, furthermore, the actually Prime toy is a completely new mold.

Jetwing Prime is a retool of Buster Prime with a new stomach and slight remolding to the back to allow for a tighter fit to the wings as well as Mechtech-ports on his arms. The wings can't transform into a trailer but look pretty well perfectly screen accurate.

Wow. I already have Leader Ironhide and like him much better than what I'm seeing here. Also, I will pass on the Prime.

Jetwing OP is unacceptably priced.
