I haven't had much time to fool around with the COV set (I've been playing Overwatch a lot after we got back, given that Doomfist was released about a week ago), but I'll try to do a good review. I'll be ranking the set from least good to best (I would say worst, but there isn't actually a figure that I dislike in the set).
5. Rodimus Prime. He isn't necessarily the worst figure in the set, but he has so little to offer compared to the other four figures. I kinda feel bad putting him at this spot, though, since he's a pretty cool little dude. Only thing I don't like is that his joints are excessively tight (might be due to the diecast, though).
4. Fastlane. Kinda the same logic as RP. Isn't bad, but has so little to offer. He's pretty neat, but I don't like how simple his transformation is (the box says 7 steps, but you could honestly boil it down to 5: turn head 180, connect legs, flip up feet, flip up hands, and flip up shoulders), and the shoulders on mine don't complete the full 90 flip to alt-mode, so you're left with the wheels facing slightly inward.
3. Laser Prime. He's cool. The joints are a good deal tighter than Retail Prime, and this version also has the proper deco. However, the stickers on mine are absolutely horrible, with cuts and air bubbles in a lot of places. If they used paint instead of stickers, he'd take the number 2 spot.
2. Quickswitch. Pretty great. Slightly tighter than Sixshot (still kinda loose, though), and it looks like he has more paint. Only gripe I have is the aforementioned slight looseness.
1. Nautica. I have very few negative things to say about Nautica. The colors are great, joints are perfect, and the turbine things stay in pretty well. The only gripe I have is that I think her forehead looks a bit too big compared to the rest of her face, but that's a very minor gripe.
All in all, it's a pretty great set, and well worth what I paid for it.
