DvDqNoC, it will be really tiring to compare each mainline toys to the CGI models as obviously, all the toys will have 1 or even more differences. 08 BB is the most accurate but even he is not perfect!!
Ironhide- The back wheels should be at the hip instead of just behind the legs only. That is what makes it bulky in the CGI model. But look at the overall, you will know Hasbro has really make quite an accurate version.
Ratchet- the flaw is even more glaring! No stomach.
Starscream- Lesser details, ie plainer design on the voyager. If you look closely, the voyagers torso wings are painted or fake!! Less accurate head sculpt. On the back, details are all WRONG!

But I am really jaded to list everything.

good points ironhide00. 8)

meh, i salute the toy designers at hasbro/takaraTomy for quite a good job trying to replicate the complicated CGI models into their plastic incarnations. honestly speaking, it would be DARN near impossible, for the toy sizes that we are given (deluxe/voyager/yes - even leader), to really replicate what we have seen in the movie.

heck, even leader prime is still movie innacurate - in the movie he is tall and lithe and athletic...look at what they give to us in the toy version...uber-bulky legs and torso. ah well...i guess we really have to tone down our expectations and enjoy what we are given hehe. IMHO. ;;)

though i would say that 74 BB has the WORST level of movie/toy accuracy. he's just...urgh.

imo he should be taller and bulkier and among the voger size ratchet is the most accurate in terms of bulkiness and height...

true.

though i think he should be a wee bit smaller than voyager ironhide, because in terms of scale a GMC Topkick is bigger than an Hummer H2.

I applaud then for getting the toys as close to te movie designs as they did. Not only are the movie-bots really detailed and complicated, but usually the toys are designed first, so I'm impressed at how well they managed to make it work going backards, since the ILM crew wasn't constraiined nearly as much by trying to create designs that work as toys.

Movie Ironhide is also a barely comprehensible mess. The FAB is the best version of that general design, I'd get that over the Voyager. Just means he has to be a small pickup instead of a big one.
