In the latest in a line of formerly Asia exclusive Transformers making their way across the Pacific, the Movie series GDO Ironhide and Starscream Leader class recolors – sporting decos based on their Generation 1 releases – are Canada bound. Listings (linked above) have popped up on the Canadian Toys R Us website. Plus, new and official pictures are up for your perusal.
Will these two movie series Leaders also make it to the US or will they stay north of the border? Reports indicate that they will also grace store shelves in the US so keep an eye on the Toys R Us US website and your local store shelves.

It's been a bit since we heard this news. Have the US releases been scrapped?

Ironhide looks nice.
Starcream's knee joint is a horrible color mashup. Why does Hasbro insist on doing authentic battle wear on the wings when the rest of him crafted in dull grey plastic? It's a shame.

When we first heard of these, I was excited. Not anymore. I'll stick with my mpm-01 Starscream and black Ironhide

I'm glad the Bayverse line didn't START OUT like this. If everyone was in their G1 colors, I might have been tempted to buy them all… then be a completist with the movie lines.
Instead, when the movie line came out, I was put off by the non-G1 colors (and voices, and faces, and personalities) and I skipped four years of toys. Now, it's way too late to get me to jump on board.
Funny, because four years ago I would have REALLLLY wanted these versions… just as being some small nod to the old G1 fans.

These figures look pretty sweet. Might pick them up if I ever see them in stores…

yeah man, releasing old movie molds, repainting more old figures rather than giving us breakdown, jet vehicon, voyager unicron, a new mold of Prime smokescreen.. etc.
i see this as them going in the wrong direction.

though i dont live in canada and USA, i am happpppy there will be more movie figures!!!

Agreed on that one. Doesn't look that appealing at all anymore.
I could see a possible purchase of the Leader Starscream, but maybe if I sell off my Voyager version from the first film. Don't need two G1 re-decos of movie figures.

That Ironhide is about 5 years too late for me to care.

US release? Thank you Hasbro! Seems they're making quite a few good decisions this year
Buying Starscream!

It's only $45 in Canada right now beacause TRUs having a 30% sale on all TFs(Oct12-Oct18)

If these are coming to North America maybe I preordered that Classics Seeker set a bit too soon.

I like them both I wonder if the Black Megatron will show up too. If the Brawl Mould is still available i'd quite like a Tankor blue one.

Preordering from TRU: The surest way to not get something.
