    Freeway Jazz looks pretty cool! I'd originally planned on skipping that one, but I'll definitely be getting one now.
    I'm tempted to bid on that Breakdown, too; that's a really neat Scout.

    I wonder what the repaints will be named?

    Freeway Jazz looks good. Kinda nice that they tried something new instead of the default Ricochet repaint in black&gold.

    Gotta like Energon Express Rollbar.

    Whatever they call him, and despite him being a Decepticon, that Depthcharge repaint will totally be Seawatch in my collection.

    black depth charge and Brakedown look pretty slick! I might pick them up on a whim.

    Jazz: obviously Blue/Silverstreak inspired, will probably need to pick him up if possible.

    Breakdown: Show me good bot mode pics and I might be sold for another new Classics Decepticon.

    Rollbar repaint: I like this deco MUCH more than the original one. Bought!

    Depthcharge repaint: That is one EVIL boat. Must have!:D

    Absolutely.

    Now that I've seen a clear shot of Breakdown's face - I'm sold. I was scared it was gonna be another nutty melted alien face or something equally ghastly. Proportions of the body are a little weird but not bad overall.

    I thought I might like Breakdown from the SDCC pics and those pics cement it. I think Hasbro/Takaratomy have really stepped up the Scout class this time. Even Black Depthcharge looks nice, although the boats are not my cup of tea.

    The seller has Breakdown's robot mode instead of Rollbar's, but I'm still sold on him. :D 

    Actually Freeway Jazz is the only one out of these that I may pass up, if only because I already have Jazz.

    EDIT: What I want to know is if these are indeed the Wave 5 Scouts, when will they start showing up in stores?

    Rollbar repaint looks like he's carved out of butter...

    I've not got roll bar yet and I have to say I'm kinda happy I waited.

    Break down looks awesome and will be on my must buy list

    I like the brake lights front and center on the chest. Fits his name well!

    What the HECK is up with that Rollbar? Hasbro needs a new dude in repaint team, badly.

    Yay, scout repaints! I've really enjoyed the ROTF scouts, and will gladly pick up their repaints.

    EDIT: Oooo, except for Rollbar.... just went to look at his robot mode, and that's fairly icky. Cream-white and light grey do NOT go well together..... hopefully that's not the final deco. I was hoping he would get a Huffer or Pipes deco.... ah well.

    Breakdown looks like a great little guy, too. Love the car mode, and the taillights on the chest. I wonder who HIS eventual repaint will be?
