I'm really surprised that someone would say that - they've always been two of the best movie molds in my eyes - especially Ironhide. They're fun to transform (unlike most of the other movie molds) and look great. They even balance well.

Starscream might be neat, but I'm torn on either the 2007 Movie silver or the ROTF/DOTM Cyber-Tattoos.
Soundwave is definitely one I could get at some point, but I do hope he isn't lacking paint apps.
I would get Ratchet, but I'm happy with my DOTM release. Same goes with Shockwave, but I'm slightly more into Ratchet.
I could really go for Ironhide, having skipped out on the HFTD release's pale baby blue gaudyness.
And at last, we finally get Megatron's ROTF Voyager mold repainted! What went wrong with the other releases?!
Don't care for Bee. Bee's just...weak.
Evasion Prime has me mixed. I might be into getting him, but I already have 2 variants, and I'm more into getting Wei Jiang's M-01 Commander.

You should seriously look into getting the movie leader 'scream

The backpack is unweildly and the right arm is virtually useless due to the mech-alive gimmick wherein, by moving the arm, the blade is slowly unsheathed - it really killed the figure for me. The legs are pretty immobile, and the spindly arm is kind of laughable and nearly wholly rubber, but the tank mode is so nice and chunky, but all his limbs kind of just squish together under his backpack, there really isn't a set place to set everything, I'd say avoid it unless you really want it - the head is truly glorious though.

Actually the right arm is designed so that it can be posed while holding the blade in place, as the gears are on a spring that stops them getting stripped when you move it. The sword can also be extended with the arm bent as well. The figure is actually really fun, although the backpack is huge. I'll definitely be getting this version though as it is worth a new deco.

I gotta echo NovaSentinel. Except for his legs being a bit wonky, he's really good and one of the best live-action Megatron's we've gotten.

I really find myself liking this version of Megatron a lot. The figure looks cool in both modes, and despite some limitations on the design it's fun to play with in both modes. I am a bit mystified by the choice of colors since they don't look at all like how the character appeared on screen. Still, the colors look good so I can't badmouth them too much. I guess I'm a sucker for well done spray ops! Given everything, I have to list this as a definite recommended, only losing points for the back kibble in robot mode and colors.
