Wreck-gar looks great, good proportions and a good likeness to his TV show appearance. Waspinator is perfectly fine, but nothing to shout about. Samurai Prowl looks a bit too bulky, especially with those giant shoulders. Atomic Lugnut looks quite cool but, like most, I'm not a fan of random repaints. I like Smokescreen and will pick him up (Question: Was Smokescreen a repaint of Prowl/Bluestreak in G1?). Dinobot and Overload don't interest me in slightest and Leo Prime is actively s**te.

g1 smokescreen, prowl and bluestreak all share the same mold.
quite fond of samurai armor prowl. better than the traffic light accessory .
With waspinator being a beast, would it be likely that the beast character would somehow turn up in the cartoon? (yes i know wasp is some car-like robot the same as bb in the cartoon, before any smarta.. trying to make any intelligent comment about that)

I like Wreckgar. Don't like Waspinator. Disappointed by Prowl, as I was waiting for the sidecar version.
Good to see Dinobot's legs transformed properly. Leo does look a bit crap.

What the hell have they done to Leo Prime? He's supposed to look like Lio Convoy, not fecking Primal Prime!

Overload is a possibility... need to see how the ailing finances hold up, though!

Wreckgar's looking awesome but I agree about his alt mode looking a bit plain and boring. Dinobot looks pretty snazzy. The rest -meh.

Dinobot looks about 50 times better than he did in the magazine scans. Colours are still a bit off though.
And I'm still waiting for a BW Blackarachnia!

Now that is totally taking the piss, even for Hasbro. You've got all four of the Galaxy Force 'Armada' remoulds with yet another Bendy Prime repaint in one box, and a damn repackage of Crumplezone and that Cybertron Prime repaint that should have been (by all rights) a proper black repaint.

i think there's only the Animated Waspinator that I'm half interested in.
Leo Prime, that feckin' awful Leo/Nemesis Breaker 'lump' from Cybertron. Utter turd.
As for all the re-releases... these figures have been reissued and re-deco'd and recoloured and re-re'd that I'm sick of the sight of them. Fair play to Hasbro for making them available as giftsets, but surely these figures are so recent that most folk will already have them? (if they wanted them in the first place, natch).
Suffice it to say, these are not for me.

Wreck-Gar has a very cool robot mode but the first thing I thought when I saw the alt-mode was Playskool. Still doubting if the robot mode is good enough.
Don't like Dinobot but Smokescreen is of course a must-have for me. I also like Waspinator and Prowl quite a bit.
What the F is up with that Overload?? That mould was released as Dropshot less than a year ago, and now again?? And I guess Hasbro has no rights to the name Flak because it just IS Flak.

Loving Waspinator and Wreck-Gar.
Will pick up Smokescreen obviously!
Kinda getting sick and tired of the same mold being used every month for a new character!

Smokescreen for me too! (And Prowl, Sunstreaker, Ironhide, Hound, Cyclonus, Sideswipe [well all the G1-based stuff, really] when I can get 'round to buying them).
Wreck Gar and Waspinator look lovely too. He'd look nice next to Black Arachnia!

This does seem to becoming more and more prevalent in recent lines. I can understand this from Hasbro's point of view, as I'm sure molds must cost a bit to produce for these kind of toys, but its really becoming tiresome and its really putting me off.

It has only got to be a matter of time before the entire Cybertron catalogue joins the list of 'destroyed from overuse' moulds. Are they really that desperate for our cash?

I know what you mean. For me the Cybertron figures weren't great becaue of the figures themselves, but because of the characters they represent. Galaxy Force is my favourite TF series of recent times and as a result I'd have loved to own all the figures. Some were outrght great figures like Galaxy Convoy and Vector Prime but there were others I liked purely because they were who they were (e.g. Soundwave - the figure was a bit poor but the character was great). When it got recoloured into Blaster it then wasn't Soundwave anymore and it lost the appeal for me.
