Leader Class Ironhide is latest incarnation of this popular movieverse character, preceded by 2007's Voyager Ironhide, HFTD's Deluxe Ironhide, and DOTM's Voyager Ironhide. This version is armed to the teeth, but is the biggest the best? You decide by checking out Ironhide's latest gallery below.
Ironhide (Leader Class)
Dark of the Moon
While our first new gallery saw Ironhide get supersized, our latest Sentinel Prime gallery does the opposite. We've already seen a Leader Class version of Sentinel Prime in the initial wave of DOTM figures, but latest wave of Voyagers brings us an all new smaller version of DOTM's new Prime. The Voyager version of Sentinel Prime trades his sword and shield for a fancy new MechTech weapon. Take a look at his gallery below.

Dark of the Moon
Lastly we have Voyager Fireburst Optimus Prime, a repaint of the wave one DOTM Voyager Optimus Prime with a new MechTech weapon that coverts from gun to axe. Check out Optimus Prime's new axe wielding gallery below.

Leader Ironhide is legit, but the weapons are way too small. And nothing comes close to Buster Optimus Prime, so, no thanks.
Not being hypercritical of DOTM toys but these characters have all seen better days.

I have to disagree, my friend. Sentinel Prime is actually a pretty cool "smaller" version of the character. Leader Class Ironhide is pretty awesome as well. He's got a bunch of weapons and some other pretty cool gimmicks. He looks great. Plus you have to look at both galleries for some major DOTM spoilers if you haven't seen DOTM yet. I didn't like either toy until I had them in hand. If you don't have them yet, I'd highly recommend both.
Fireburst Optimus Prime is a pass if you're not a completist. HFTD Voyager Class Optimus Prime is the best Voyager Optimus.

Does anyone know what the problem is with Fireburst Optimus Prime's weapon? I removed the spring from mine thinking that might solve the problem with the axe parts not lining up properly in axe mode, but that didn't fix it either. Must have something to do with how the notches are lined up. Open to ideas and suggestions on how to fix the axe mode for Prime's MechTech weapon.

De-di-ca-tion.
You can reattach that wire back, right?

Mine doesn't line up either, but I figured it was just mine. Hell, the weapon is the only reason I bought this guy.

Good! I'm not alone on this one after all. I'm hoping to get Voyager Sentinel because I just like the way he looks, but everyone has tried to convince me otherwise.
I'm not sure about the Voyager Optimus mold in general. He intrigued me at first, but I haven't bought any version of him yet. I haven't really heard any opinions on him since he hasn't been bought up much.
Leader Ironhide looks cool, but I just can't see buying him. I really don't need an oversized figure for $45.00, but he is basically in Human Alliance scale, which I like. I love Ironhide, but I'd rather go ahead and buy the voyagers from the previous movies that I don't have.

I bought VC Sentinal Prime and am very satisfied. Why spernd 45 bucks on the Leader when by September it will be in TJ Maxx, Ross, and Marshalls for 25 bucks ??? I just saw Leader Class Starscream in one of those stores recently for clearance price.

Mine were completely misaligned from the factory. The first time I deployed it, one of the gear's teeth fell off. I replaced it with one from KMart, and have no problems. The first one was from HTS.

I guess I shouldn't be suprised since I haven't seen DOTM yet and it has been out 2 weeks now.
Just bummed I guess.

Voyager Sentinel...LOOKS AMAZING !!! NOT !!! He looks frickin horrible...Heck I think the Commander class looks better than this piece of crap. The cannon is way too huge for him and his backpack...Just oh my god...The chest looks worst than his commander class...I have more to say but you get the message...
Fireburst looks amazing but I dont like the huge tanks...Seriously if they remove that I would be all over this figure in a heartbeat.

Are the Hasbro and Takara versions both mixed into the same gallery or something? Sometimes he has a grey face and sometimes he has a gold face.

It's the same version ... I bought two and removed the face shield on the extra one so that I could provide comparison pics to all of you.
