I know Wal-Mart has the $35.00 Rollback going on right now, but I would gladly pay $50.00 for that one.

Absolutely, without a doubt, one of the best TransFormers I have ever seen and comes a dang close second to Optimus.

After seeing what they're capable of doing, there's absolutely no excuse for Megatron's design. (And I love my Leader Class Megatron figure. I do!)

Though, I'll say this...for Optimus, Jetfire, and Starscream...their awesomeness makes up for what Megatron lacks.

It's real dude... prepare the $50-60 you're gonna drop on it!

Damn. Talk about a must have. This thing looks amazing.

Well, now that the alt mode's been revealed, it's a definite buy for me.

Still, I find the cockpit canopy to be unusually flat compared to the real FA-22 Raptor. Also, the area around the intakes look kind of bulky. But...it's overall detailing and superb bot mode accuracy is good enough to forgive the small flaws. Plus, the fact that the designers made his left arm convertible into a missile rack really impresses me. Hopefully, the gimmicks actually STAY on the toy this time, instead of being taken out in the final product like the Voyager.

And finally, no more limbs sticking out of his thrusters! And no gaudy transparent light-up barrels!

There really is a God! :grin:

Looks good so far, but still want more pictures to make sure it doesn't have giant testicles first!

$50-60 for this will still be cheap here in Norway. We have to pay $130 for Leader Prime and Leader Megatron. Devastator was a wopping £258.

So..no need to complain, dudes

Can we say AWESOMESAUCE!!! like someone said, now lets start with Skywarp, Thundercracker to add to the collection, and once thats done, lets do Ramjet, Dirge, and, Thrust!!!!!

Yeah, this figure looks very promising. I liked the Voyager version, but this looks to top it at all levels. I think we'll definitely see some Seeker repaints, the Brothers love to repaint those Leader Class toys.

No, I'll get him. I very much consider him to be a 'Classics' toy. They pretty much lifted his design elements straight from IDW's Stormbringer.

I wonder if you can pull of his arm and have Optimus beat him with it

Sat Oct 24, 2009 12:48 pm

Damn, I want this figure so bad! He looks better than leader Optimus! Now if only Hasbro would make a decent Megatron...

Sat Oct 24, 2009 2:31 pm

This is so f*ckin awesome! To of the best transformers ever in one line!

Sat Oct 24, 2009 3:32 pm

I will have to wait until I can see under him. I customize them so the window and the landing gear I can change, but if you look under it...and well you know....I doubt it would be as bad as Jetfire, but so far not looking so good in that area. I will only by one to have one. I still rather find a leader class Brawl first though. I just wish they would of made all of them leader class. No offense to the huge bumblebee, but why the hell didn't they make an Optimus or Megatron that size????Not like it wouldn't of sold...

Sat Oct 24, 2009 10:06 pm

So awesome...should have sent... a poet!
seriously though this looks pretty dang good! that would be cool if he had other features like his chainsaw, drool, or removable arm for megs or prime to beat him with, but i am very happy and grateful that hasbro made this awesome figure. cant wait for his release!

Well, I just finished watching ROTF again (love the added scenes and dialogue) and I have to say that Leader Class Starscream is a must.

He still won't beat out Optimus as the best figure of the line, but he'll come close.

I'm more angry that Megatron got the short end of the stick again. I wasn't at first, but after seeing the other Leaders...man, he got shafted.

I still love the figure, but dang.

I agree. As far as Megatron getting the shaft..he got the shaft in the movie from the get go.

On a final note, this looks ridiculously awesome. They might repaint Leader SS for TF3 without Tattoos, or perhaps a Thundercracker/Skywarp homage, as that is something that never, ever gets old.

Love this mold.
