Also glad we're seeing some of Rhinox's bot mode. His head on the figures here makes me think he might look the closest to his og Beast Wars self in the movie (unless this is a stylization like we saw with Cheetor's toy versus his Studio Series figure).
Rhinox is pretty cool here, at least the look of the alt mode and robot mode. I am super surprised that he seems so faithful to his original design and from the little bit we saw in the film, it looks like he will indeed look that faithful.
As for the armor formers, while the deluxe class ones in Cyberverse were not great, the more core class ones were very good for what they were. Like Ratchet and Skybyte. Those were very well realized. These are taking it a whole other level though.
If anyone is curious about a kid's POV on these, my 5 year old is really excited by them. While those beast combiners did impress him, he really likes that blue wolf that comes with optimus. He likes how the face is very organic and he likes that Optimus ca get a beast buddy. That's the one he wants most. He likes the Arcee but is puzzled as to what kind of animal she comes with, it's not as clear to him.
And he wants that offroad Bumblebee (the simplified deluxe one).
So his wish list is the 3 beast combiners, Bumblebee and the wolf/optimus combo. We'll se eif he still wants them by the time they come out and when it's his birthday.
My personal favourite are all the Rhinoxes and that little croc gun, it's such a cute croc mode.

Like I said, a new low bar for triple changers. Shockingly expensive too...
I'm shocked your shocked since every kids line has a big simplified electronic toy with lights and sounds at that price point. It's just standard fare.
The triple changer bit is misleading on their part though, I'd expect a full transformation into a bird mode but it's not the case here.

Luckily, there's very little of that here. But don't check our Facebook page.
