Am I the only one that thinks Ultimate Prime actually looks a million times better with his wings down a bit?

What's going on with that Leader Ironhide's face? Does he have a faceplate now? And no truck mode pics of that mold?
I can't freaking wait for Sentinel Prime though. He looks like all sorts of sweetness. His head sculpt is so very much like Optimus too.

Hide's movie design has always had that large nose bit, at least in the movie renders, but he also has a lower jaw, little tube thing under it. I think it looks weird here either a) because he doesn't have that lower jaw bit in this figure, or b) we just can't see the lower jaw from here.
But yea, that "faceplate" has been there since the first movie. It doesn't help that it's painted bright so it sticks out here.

It's great that we finally get a leader class ironhide. But where are his weapons?! The paint job on him looks ridiculously simple for a leader class. Hope they fix it before taking our money.

I know I may be the only one saying this, but the DOTM is looking better and better. The Green Wrecker, Skids, leader class Ironhide, Sentinel douche, and even the new deluxe Bumblebee look fantastic!! (I still want some leader class Megatron/Shockwave though)

Is it just the photo or is the new Sideswipe a matt sand colour? Looks a bit rubbish...

Damn, they all look pretty darn gorgeous on display there. A leader class Ironhide? Very temping as he's still the most badass looking Autobot design ever. Really liking the looks of the wreckers, and that Prime 'angel mode' looks a lot better there for some reason.

I just want to know if the trailer turns into a weapon platform as stated or if it just turns into another robot or both. On the box we see what the Omega Form looks like, and then we see the powered up form with it and Prime. But does it turn into a regular attack station? I hope it does.

Finally the DOTM is starting to look cool !
I have some key questions to the News Crew:
How tall is the new DOTM Ultimate OP (with and without armor) compared to ROTF Leader OP ?
What about the alternate mode ? Are the semi trucks of the same size, or is DOTM alternate-mode (truck only) smaller ?
How tall is DOTM Leader Sentinel Prime compared to ROTF Leader OP ? Are the alternate modes of DOTM Sentinel Prime and DOTM Ultimate Prime in the same scale ?
Is the new DOTM Leader Ironhide more or less in scale with the ROTF Human Alliance figures ?
Thanks for the info !

I really like that Leader Ironhide.
If he isn't as oversized as Leader Bumblebee and closer to Voyager size and in scale with the Prime Leader figure from ROTF i will definately get him.
Instead of making him ubersize they should make him in scale with the regular line(s) and just pack him up with a good transformation, detail, paintjob and articulation. I am also hoping they will include the movie weapons and not just the crappy mechtech gun.

I am wondering why the AMP Wrecker is so less detailed & armed in his alt mode than the Lowes Wrecker ![:???:]( "Confused")
All he's got is his mech-tech weapon; the Lowes guy is armed to the teeth. And I wonder if the third one will be a repaint of one of these two, like they did w/ the Arcee sisters.

Curses. ![:-?]( "Confused")
Just when I thought towards the Ultimate Optimus Prime "oh, I can pass on this one, after all, I've got my custom RoTF Prime which looks great", my mind gets changed by seeing his great detailing and paint job in these Toy Fair images. And the truck mode looks great too! Oh well, another Optimus for my collection it seems, and a large one at that! ![:lol:]( "Laughing")
