My take on all of this:
Shadow Blade Megatron: Well, we just saw him at SDCC so no suprise there. Totally uninterested even though it is a nice re-deco of the mold. However, I already promised myself that I wouldn't buy repaints from this line that aren't brand new characters.
Roadbuster Ultra Magnus: Again, not really interested in any repaints that don't represent an all new character... too many same character repaints coming pointlessly in this line IMPO.
Inferno: Saw this guy already. Looks like he's the only new mold Voyager coming up. I need to see more pics than what we saw at SDCC before I can make up my mind on him, but he does look good to me.
Overload: Well, if this is a re-release/repaint of Armada Overload than I'll more than likely pass on him. He looks awesomely powerful, but his lack of knees and elbows really kills the mold for me. So, probably a pass as I already own the original and the OTFCC Sentinel Maximus repaints. Only way I'd buy a new version of Armada Overload is if they repainted him as The Fallen (which was rumored awhile back) as I think that, even with the articulation issues, it would make a really good Fallen with the right paint scheme.
On a side note I'm kind of hoping for this to be an all new mold of Armada Overload as they are giving us a new Hot Shot in Universe. Still, I won't hold my breath for it.
Vector Prime: I'll probably be skipping this. I already have the original and for a short time I had the GF repaint (in the gold colors... which were supposed to be his 'golden age of Cybertron' colors) and I just can't fathom what they could repaint him into now. Unless the Vector Prime name is just an early place holder for someone else that he's being repainted into based on the mold being used (we've seen this a couple times before, but it's not very common). More than likely I'll be passing unless it's really good.
Leo Prime: If this is a redeco of Leobreaker in Lio Convoy colors I'll be all over it. That Legends figure was awesome and I'd love to get my hands on a much larger version. Only thing I'd like better is a domestic release of Lio Convoy as Leo Prime... though I just don't see that happening for some reason unless they made him another Nemesis ala Big Convoy to Nemesis Prime.
Also, sense we seem to be getting one of the Legends to larger repaints that everyone was clamoring for during the first wave of Classics... bring on Ultra Trypticon from Cybertron Scourge and Ultra Perceptor from Cybertron Defense Red Alert.

In the US MSRP is Leaders $39.99, Ultras $24.99, Voyagers $19.99, Deluxe $9.99 & Scouts/Basics/Minicon Packs/etc. $7.99. Anything you see on eBay would never even be remotely indicative of the actual retail price of the item as the guys whom buy to put on eBay are attempting to make a profit off the toy.

Agreed, Lio Convoy is a very very retarded sounding name... but Big Convoy officially takes the cake of idiotic sounding names for the Japanese Convoys.
what, we had 4 releases (3x Armada variants and Cybertron) in classic Prime colors, Nemesis and Magnus. oh and Japanese Crystal version...
