    Lots of characters I'm interested in on the show but I want to see pictures first. A figure like deluxe Prime I'll likely skip because I'm sure there will be a better larger figure later on.

    Figures like the Arcee and Starscream already shown are a must. If I can get over hating Bumblebee I might even pick him up.

    Patiently waiting for a voyager or leader Megatron. The best bot design in the show needs a big ass toy!

    As far as the deluxes we've seen I probably won't get any of them, but the Arcee looks to be the best to me, Optimus is the worst, and the rest fall somewhere in between. Starscream is the biggest disappointment for me as I really like the character on the show. I just can't get with that turd hanging between his legs, the bulky triple missile rack on his arms or the fact all his fins don't stick up on his back high enough. Oh and he lacks the stabby-looking evil hands he's got in the show.

    I plan to try to limit myself to one toy for each character, no having 7 Primes or anything like that. I intend to wait to see Prime and Megatron's Voyager toys, Starscream as well. The only one I plan to get multiples of are Vehicons for obious reasons ^_^

    Unless my financial situation changes, this may be the first line I completely go after besides MP and beast wars.

    Of the ones we've seen so far, I might get Arcee (as Classics Chromia), but probably none of the others. However, I plan to get Cliffjumper (I'll probably use him as Windcharger in my Classics collection, since I don't like RTS Windcharger and they have similar colors and vehicle modes), a Vehicon, maybe a larger Megatron (if they make one). I'm also really looking forward to a Knock Out figure, assuming they make one.

    So far...... none. I just don't like what i've seen so far.

    I don't feel short-changed in anyway...Hasbro and Tak have turned out plenty of interesting product over the last few years. These just aren't for me.

    The deluxe Starscream looks pretty good. I'll probably just be dabbling, like with the DOTM line.

    Oh, I'll be getting the TCC Shattered Glass Drift as my Classics Knock-Out. If that counts.

    Soundwave. Hopefully the toy does the design justice.

    Probably just Starscream. Are they making a Voyager sized one too?

    A couple of people have asked...we ARE getting a Voyager Starscream. He has one missile per arm. Very little else is known. I'm just assuming that the bot mode will be at least as good and the alt mode will be better (cause there's nowhere to go but up, man).

    They are fugly and every time they move in the show, they make me giggle (rarely good when you're listening to Megatron's dialogue).

    I think that the only two failures of design in this show are the faces of Optimus and Megatron. And Megatron's is worse. (Not counting the absurd proportions on human female characters because that is a plague on all animation.)

    Waiting for reviews and galleries!

    DOTM is still my top priority. If Dino, Soundwave, Hatchet and Crowbar look good, I might just skip TF: Prime altogether.

    Probably Arcee and maybe Starscream. Movieverse and Animated are my teo least favorite aestetics and since Prime is basically a mashup of the two I'm not too into the designs. Maybe some more will come along to pique my interest but for now I'm going to skip most of the line.
