    She's not black. If you look closer at the pic you can tell she's a very dark shade of purple. Just looks black due to the crappy pic.

    And that's bad? It's a smaller version of the leader, so you can have a Movie accurate Voyager Prime fight Movie accurate Voyager Megatron.

    The Insecticon really caught my eye, him and breacher both look like epic scouts (but really, they are ROTF Scouts, of course they are cool!)
    Straxus looks really cool too. I like triple changers and insecticons, so this is a really promising batch of pics.
    Elita-1 is a repaint, but at least she uses the better of the two molds. Voyager Prime looks epic. About time they made a new mold, and the improvements really show.
    MP Grimmers is on my Xmas list for sure.
    The new PCC five packs are pretty cool.
    Hailstorm looks really brutish and awesome.
    Sidearm Sideswipe does look cool, but I already have his first deluxe.
    Blaster is SDCC exclusive, so I probably can't get my hands on him.

    Am I missing something? None of the toys in those pics are listed as Straxus. Which one is he?

    I would've liked a more streamlined look to Straxus as well as a Voyager size class, but I'll take what I can get.

    Other then that, I'll get Drift for the laughs, Hubcap for the alt mode, pass on the rest I think.

    Wonder if they'll do some new mold minicon drones down the line. Just thinking they could easily repaint Huffer as Motormaster/Menasor. And couldn't Smolder get a Hot Spot re-deco.

    Darkmount (Straxus) is a must-have for me this year. Looks like they took the idea behind Universe Galvatron and perfected it at the Deluxe class scale.

    Legends Long Haul looks nice, and has a good chance of getting a spot in my collection. Sandstorm on the other hand, doesn't really interest me. Though it is nice to see the name used.

    MP Grimlock looks nice. Especially since he comes with the three accesories I actually like (sword, gun, & crown). The thing about him that makes me think I'll most likely not get him, is the fact he's a TRU exclusive.

    Double Clutch & the Rallybots and Mudslinger & the Destructicons look interesting, but honestly, I don't think I'm going to get any of the 5-pack PCC's. Out of all four of them, the only one I think I have any chance of getting, is Bombshock.

    Blaster and his crew isn't at all surprising for this years SDCC exclusive. Definitely won't get it, but it is nice for those who want it to go with their Soundwave and his crew.

    Voyager Prime, eh... not my cup of tea. I've already got the Leader class figure, so I see no point in getting this one. Maybe one of it's eventual repaints. Magnus anyone?

    Scout Insecticon looks nice, though the more I look at it, the less interested I am in it. Breacher on the other hand looks really nice, and I'll probably get him purely for the fact that he's compatible with Seaspray.

    Elita-1, well, I have absolutely no interest in her. Even if she was a new mold, or even a retool.

    Hailstorm looks very intersting. I'll probably get him to go with Deluxe class Ironhide (also to help justify getting another Ironhide, lol). Looks like he might be a little iffy, but I do really like his alt-mode and his overall look.

    I have to admit, Sidearm Sideswipe does sort of look interesting. At the very least he looks like he'll be more stable than the original version of him. I don't think I'll get him, though that's mostly due to the odd paint-job. If he gets a decent repaint I might get that.

    Have we seen pictures of Hubcap?

    Ah, now I remember him. He does look really good. Not sure I'll get him, but I do really like the alt-mode. If anything, I might get it and another Deluxe Ironhide, and paint them up to look like my mother's PT Cruiser and my father's truck (my father's truck is a GMC, but not a Topkick, and Hubcap isn't a PT Cruiser, but visually they look close enough for me).

    too me dark mount just looks to junky, like he has too much stuff just hanging from him and added on. and the third mode i would like to see in person.Insecticon looks amazing and like a must have. Hail storm is fantastic and i will hope to purchase him. Elita one is a pass for me, The new sideswipe needs better pics but is so far a pass.

    The new Voyager Prime? WIN. Finally, a transforming Prime with blades that's NOT a pain in the ass to transform!

    Glad I never used my $$$ to get the Leader mould!

    Side arm Sideswipe looks awesome (a proper transformation) except for the paint job. :)  Here's hoping we see this mold with blades this time come TF 3.
