I really hope Prowl looks as good without the armor as he does with it on. I'm hoping this version can take the place of the Wave 1 version but isn't *dependent* on the armor.

 

WASPINATOR IS   !
LEO PRIME IS  !
DINOBOT IS  !

 

Waspinator and Wreck-Gar are so freaking awesome. SO FREAKING AWESOME. I already have a Prowl, otherwise I would buy the new one in a heartbeat.  

But Waspinator, Leo Prime, and Wreck-Gar SHALL BE MINE.

 

Leo Prime = Mine (Totally looking forward to the "Prime claw mode" that my Cybertron Galaxy Force Prime repaint will have with this)
Wreck-Gar = Mine
Samurai Prowl = Mine
Overload ill get to, even though I have Dropshot but the CD Scattershot mold is one of my favorite molds.
Waspinator = Pass, never was a fan of Beast wars.
Atomic Lugnut = Mine, Love the Realistic bomber plane details on the cockpit, I just hope the chest problem is fixed from the previous mold.

 

The animated and deluxes look great, definate buys, but am really dissapointed in Overload and Leo Prime.

Overload went from "hopeful" to "eh" and Leo went from "gonna get" to "might pick up the box just to look at it".

 

Squeeee!

I want Waspinator and Samurai Prowl so badly now. The only thing that annoys me is that Dinobot is black instead of his usual awesome brown. I hope that gets fixed or something.

 

My thoughts:

Wasp: He looks pretty awesome. Good to know he won't just be a BB redeco.
He also has a huge chin. Nice!

Samurai Prowl: I love that they remolded his bike to be more show accurate. Although his robot mode looks a bit mistransformed. Definitely getting him to fight Blazing Lockdown.

Wreck-Gar: Our first garbage Truck transformer + Weird Al in plastic form = I am required by law to own this.

Atomic Lugnut: I am not really into thematic character repaints. This is no exception. Although he does look cool.

----
Leo Prime: Surprising. I thought they would have gone with a Lio Convoy deco. Cool that they remolded the head, but since there probably won't be a Megatron counterpart. I won't be getting him.

Overload: Again surprising. I was expecting some version og the Armada character. As it is I really have no interest in it.

Dinobot: Nice that we get a bigger picture of him and he's transformed right.
Although I'm not going to trust those color till I see some real pictures of him.

Smokescreen: Cool, I guess.


Edit: I was expecting Wreck-Gar's alt mode arms to form his hip armor. Guess I was wrong.

 

Wow, the Dinobot mold is great, but of course they screwed up the paint job. Especially since this is the touched up Photoshop version, he'll be much more dull in person. Seriously, they even molded show-accurate shoulder pads into the tops of the arms but didn't paint them. Hopefully the Henkei version gets it right.

Oh, some other nice things about the mold. It looks like his beast mode arms can be detached in robot mode. The whole piece looks to just be clipped on to the shoulder part so I think they can just pop right off for a sleeker looking robot mode.

And I'm still convinced that there's a way to better hide his robot arms in beast mode.

EDIT: Oh, and in the beast mode you can definitely see that he has claws that can be swapped out for the fists, looks like the piece can just turn one way for show-accurate claws, or the other way for fists

 

I will be getting the Wreck-gar, the Samurai Prowl, Waspinator and the Smokescreen for sure. I don't know about the Prime, I wish he was a new mold, or at least Lio Convoy colored, but I'll probably crack anyways, I love my Prime's. I wish the Dinobot was the right colors though. Why would they redo him and make the mold better but screw with his color scheme??

 

i am disappointed with overload, at the same time, i want it if it is a decepticon lol!

the rest look great.

but i am most interested in that lio prime now, since i want that mold lol!

 

All those look pretty sweet, will skip overload though. New prowl is tweaked a lot more than I thought he would be. That's borderline a new prowl mold entirely as opposed to the retool they hinted at. Awesome.

LeoPrimes new head looks pretty badass though. I'm digging that.

 

I think the most show-inaccurate thing about Wreck-gar is the fact that his fore-arms are just silver/grey.

 

Atomic Lugnutz: Looks ok, but a easy pass
Wreck-gar: Vehicle mode looks much like a Tonka toy. Robot mode redeems it.
Waspinator: Wow, that does look good
Samurai Prowl: Looks very nice, but I already have a Prowl  
Leo Prime: Interesting colour scheme, nice new mold on the head, but a pass.
Overload: Wow, they are milking that mold. Easy pass.
Dinobot: I am at loss for words... pass.
Smokescreen: Looks nice, but I am on the fence for him and Silverstreak as I already own Prowl.

 

these are looking good...the classics universe is expanding slowly, but surely...i'm very good today...

 

Can't wait for Smokescreen! Awesome!

 

Given that new head... I think it's almost a given that somehow further down the line we'll see that repainted again as Razorclaw now.

 

Waspinator is F'ing AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wreck-Gar and Leo Prime are cool (especially since Leo Prime's got a remolded head) but those'll be ones my brother will probably get, along with Samurai Prowl.
Dinobot and Smokescreen are definite purchases.
Overload is a WTF figure, considering how they already used that mold once in the Universe/Classics 2.0 line, and how it has nothing to do with any previous character with the name "Overload."
Waspinator and Dinobot are the ones I'm looking forward to the most.

 

Wow, Leo Prime is a huge disapointment.

Loving Dinobot and Smokescreen though. I think Dinobot might prompt me to pick up Cheetor as well.

 

tl;dr reply.

The new deluxes all look cool. Dinobot and Smokescreen obviously have some heavy photoshop gloss on them, but I'm still liking them overall. Dinobots colors are too dark, though.

Wreck-Gar looks fantastic. Can't wait to pick him up.

Leo Prime is... red. Very, very red. The new head is nice, though. I'm not sure why we're getting another repaint of CD Scattershot so soon after the last one.

 

Waspy Waspinator is a Wasp. I'm definitely picking him up.  

Atomic Lugnut? I prefer purple.

Wreck-Gar: Maaaaybe.

Samurai Prowl: Looks fatter than I thought. I'll still get him, though.

Leo Prime: Pass. Don't care.

Smokescreen: See Leo Prime.

Overload: See Leo Prime.

Dinobot: I don't care if he looks wrong, I'm getting him anyway.
