It appears to be a slight remold of the original with more accurate weapons.

Maybe he works with the military now. And that insignia on his door could show that he does.

I wish Ironhide would have got a new mold, but the old one was decent, so it's no big deal. Don't like the red on this one (especially since he doesn't have it in the movie) so I'll pass.

I was going to buy this just for the cannons but the right arm one looks rather oversized so maybe I'll pass. I should think the cannons can still be stowed in the same place as before to cover up the very obvious arms slung underneath...

So far, I have not seen a single new/unrecognizable mold from the leaked photos of tf2 rof figures other than the unimportant scout class figures. I would not expect anything really imaginative or drastically different for the toys of the characters that are returning from previous movie. I guess the toymakers could sort of use that as an excuse to say that since most of the characters that survived in the first movie did not have to be reformatted or resurrected, there's no need to make new molds for the toys neither!

Dude, did you see the deluxe Sideswipe and leader Prime from a few weeks ago those were all new molds, and they looked great.
Ironhide looks nice. I'm glad they gave him new cannons, But I will pass.

Plus, I'm skeptical of Starscream being a remold. I think he may well be a new toy from ground up. Sure he's just as ugly, but he comes from the same source material.
And as far as accessory packs, that would be neat, as has been lamented for decades, but they have to re-release each character in some form for this movie for all the kids that couldn't afford to buy them all during the run of the last movie.

I don't know-if you're talking about the pictures of the ROTF SS posted today, it looks a heck of a lot like the other voyager mold to me with painted details and different head. I'm thinking that's going to be the same but there may be a leader somewhere in the pipeline.

No Caelus is right about it being a new mold. The chest is wider and has that new mech alive feature when you turn Starscream's head. Also it lacks the giant missile launching arms.
Also the Jet mode actually looks like a F-22 compared to the previous release.

additional purchase.
A Weapons pack maybe packaged with the Legends version would have been better.

Going to disagree. I think that a new head and mistransformed legs give him that look. Why would Ironhide be essentially the same but not SS? He's the same mold, just updated.
Edit: OK-I am big enough to admit that this may be a rework. I had to open them side-by-side to really tell. Don't tell my wife I'm admitting that I may be wrong. She'l love that.

I thought it was a massive retool at first. Changed 'hands', changed fins, changed nose, even the mech-alive feature I could imagine being retro-engineered in place.
But the lack of visible arms in jet mode is what cinched it for me.
It's a shame that his jet mode looks so much better while his robot mode actually looks worse (though the hands are an improvement).

Yeah, unfortunately he still looks like crap. One can only hope for a great leader version this time around.

Just wait, 2 weeks after their release, we'll get the Premium series of these new figs with more accurate paint.
But wait, theres more! Another month or two will go by after that and we'll get the same figures, but in a slightly darker paint color with brown spots for Battle Damage~!~!~
But if you call within the next 10 minutes, there will be new retooled heads exclusive to Target, Are You Following Me Camera Guy???
We can't do this all day.

Anyways, the box art is good. I like Ironhide's face. That 3/4 portrait makes him look native american.
