Now that I have all of them in I'm going to give my own impressions and ranking. Aside from the top 3, the list isn't exactly easy, they're all good figures for the most part.
7) Blurr - Looks good and an overall good mold, even got a new head. I don't know about anyone else, but mine is really loose and one of the "wedges" under his forearm wont stay up unless I equip the blowtorch in that hand to keep it propped up.
6) Goldbug - Looks good, has the new head that we're all looking forward to seeing used as on G1 Goldbug, but isn't the SG body that any of us wanted to see him in. There were many better options out there and they went with laziest one and we're all a little burnt out on.
5) Ratchet - This one feels right and makes the most sense as a repaint, but isn't a particularly great mold, especially the back of the van mold not resembling the back of a van. Would have also been nice if they included some extras like the spare accessories from the Siege release.
4) Optimus Prime - Colors are a little off, but the figure still looks great. I do wonder if this was the right mold and maybe they should have used the Siege mold to imitate the bulkier Classics body's alt mode. But that's beside the point, it's still a very good figure in both modes and the familiar, iconic Prime look as an evil character is always going to be striking.
3) Starscream - The Tetra Jet mold is already great and we certainly got a small army of them, but the dominantly white color scheme looks nothing like all of the rest and really sets it apart from the rest and is in opposition to them rather than being just another figure in the swarm. The extra sword parts definitely add more to the mold in both modes.
2) Megatron - The colors alone really bring new life to this tired mold and we rarely see a stark white (hover) tank like this. White it isn't a great remake of the original SG figure it does do convincing enough job without just looking like a flying tank thanks to several new parts. Those parts can also be used in bot mode and even fan tank modes making him now a Triple Changer. There's so much added play value that the other uses of the mold no longer matter.
1) Jetfire - While he was always going to be a good figure he somehow feels entirely refreshed in new colors. Like Optimus there's something very sinister and evil about the new black and purple look without the need for new parts. We never officially got a SG Jetfire in the original FunPub run (that was a repurposed Japanese "Dark Jetfire" figure) making this the first actual SG Jetfire figure made, making him a great fit for both old and new SG collections and potentially opening us up to later first time figures from SG stories.

Or not, it's not like they'll crank out a new batch at the factory, those molding machines are spoken for.
