    DOTM Deluxe Soundwave and Wheeljack are bought on sight, and I might get Evac too if I can find him.
    As for Prime, I'm planning to get everything shown except Zombie Cliffjumper, while it is a nice idea I prefer the look of the normal version more.

    My Walmart exclusive Sideswipe doesn't have that checker pattern on the hood. Interesting.

    Am I the only one a bit disapointed with HA Soundwave? His legs look really short and skinny, what's up with that? Maybe it's the angle of the shot but he kinda looks odd to me.

    don't worry your not alone on that aspect ):(  and yes his legs are freaky deaky :p  but the deluxe and legion class do kinda make up for it I guess

    This is why i love Prime line so much!!!!! But before i say more i better leave a comment about the DOTM figures: ehem...there better be a Cyberverse Laserbeak to go with my Deluxe Soundwave or i am gonna be pissed. XD I have Legend Ravage and i need Laserbeak. :p  then...there is nothing much i can say about the DOTM toys, i still dont like them. Sorry. :( 
    But the Prime figures!!! HOHOHO!!!! They are so accurate and well done! KnockOut is gonna sell fast, you can bet that. XD Skyquake is awesome! Soundwave! SOUNDWAVE!!! Even has Laserbeak with it! Wait, was it Laserbeak or RAtbat? Oh, nevermind, its awesome he comes with the minion. ;)  Wheeljack is so gonna steal Drift' thunder with that design and weapons. XD I am back on collecting!!! Please, hurry and release these already HAsbro! XD

    I see the same as you (i.e. the head looks the same). But the pictures are a little blurry to tell, and maybe these are still prototype shots? And the WG manual had a clearly different head so maybe the final version will have it. Time will tell.

    I don't understand the hate for HA Soundwave...

    The rest of the line up looks pretty good too.

    The alternate head from the manual had facial hair too. Hopefully Hasbro will release official images soon.

    lot of excellent reveals this year imo, saw everything I wanted to see. Tf Prime toys look excellent in general and all the movie soundwaves look great as well.

    Especially excited about those TF Prime cyberverse figs, love how they all have 2 holding things hands as well as tons of weapons.

    I think we're hoping it's yet another case of really bad Human Alliance product Photography/transformation (for some reason this line has had more issues with this than most). But in the image we've seen his arms are huge (which is fine), but his legs look tiny and frail.

    It makes for a very oddly proportioned toy. The deluxe is larger below the waist. Completely the opposite.

    One of the things we tend to like about HA toys is that they often are better detailed than the deluxes. This is a pretty big deal to get so terribly wrong.

    I'll be getting him either way, but I was a bit disappointed to see this. I'm really hoping it's not as a big a problem as it looks to be.

    its the tiny tiny stick legs. whats hard to understand? im hoping its just a bad picture or something cause those are the tiniest legs ive seen on a bot thats supposed to be kinda normal humanoid shaped.

    i dont even know if that will be able to stand up for long.

    see pics...

    good deluxe http://cdn.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/1/TF-Toys-SDCC-11-106_1311285011.jpg

    Meh, I like the HA proportions better, for the most part. Accuracy aside, that burly upper body just makes him more imposing looking, and hearkens to the rest of the Decepticons' more inhuman designs a bit.

    Deluxe Soundwave looks like a scrawny Autobot.

    That said, I'll be getting both :p .

    Ooooo....

    That TFP Wheeljack will be standing in as Wheeljack on my classics shelf to differentiate him from the Tracks mold.

    The styling and aesthetic, does not look all that cartoony at the moment. I'll wait on more pictures, and possibly a review to make my final decision. However things are looking promising. Too bad we didn't get any news on more upcoming classics figures. SDCC isn't over yet though...so here's to hoping they still have some new stuff to show us.

    Is the Target car Transformer only going to be available in Human Alliance? I try to get all those in the movies, but haven't bothered with HA, and I don't really want to start now . . .

    The Deluxe will be a Target exclusive in a two-pack with a Top Spin repaint as "Twin Twist".

    And probably be a mass release further down the road, in a non-accurate colourscheme.

    But the Movie accurate versions of Leadfoot will be Target Exclusives, 'cause no-one's gonna stock a toy advertising their competitor.

    Note that Cyberverse Leadfoot lacks the bullseye logo on his stomach, so he's good to go.
