Courtesy of eBay seller lena81822 we have some in-hand vehicle modes images of the upcoming Asian market exclusive Transformers Generations GDO Leader Class Ironhide and Starscream. The auctions can be found by clicking on any of the images mirrored below. At this point there has been no confirmation that these two will find their way to domestic retail.

Ironhide - Pass, the paint job just isnt doing it for me.
starscream - WANT, missed out on the hftd version. Sooooooo hoping it hits the states.

They're actually packaged and and placed in Dark of the Moon. That pretty much guarantees them not hitting the States.

The upper tailfins are laying down when they shouldn't. What happened to the photos of the robot modes?

Wow, they gave Starscream his US Masterpiece paint job ... Complete with burn marks, logo placement and what would be his shoulders/intakes. Cool idea, poor execution though, it just doesn't look right on this mold. Ironhide though look pretty decent, really glad he's not just all red. The red shows off the details of the mold a bit better than the all black, in my opinion.

Good lord... Why the hell there's all that black watering on Starscream?
Why?

Oh, I know why: So that I spend my 100$ elswhere.

That Strascream is for Asia only and will cost a pretty penny.

Even if you still buy that version, get the HftD original also. You can find it loose for a good price if you know where to look. One such place if Seibertron's Buy Sell Trade forum. another is on http://boards.4chan.org/toy/ . Look for the "BST" thread. Ebay should be the last place to look.

At worst, if you are a MISB collector, I do have one for sale. I warn you that it will be expensive.

Good luck!

Love the vechile modes and color schemes but the robot modes are what kills me

Perhaps if they had given Iron hide a more cartoon G1 head Id be interested but Ill pass on these for now

I own the original version with the FWI updates, but I wouldn't mind getting these down the line if they were at a somewhat reasonable price. I see the FWI stuff comes with Screamer but I don't see it with Ironhide. Will he be getting it as well?

Erm, getting a little non-PC guys... And I thought it was Organization, not Operations, but the whole thing is one big mystery. I don't even know where we heard that's what they were called.

More like directly off the factory line. :p

Anyway, Ironhide looks great and I almost wish we were getting him. But I have the voyager, so don't really need a leader. Is it sad that I'm really happy about painted wheels?

Starscream, meh. I never liked that ugly off-white shade they keep using. Needs to be a bit more silver. I can easily pass.
