They all look excellent. 
Based on those covers, the following are guesses as to which comic issues are included with each toy:
Dreadwing - RID #17
Goldfire - RID #18
Waspinator - RID #19
Skids - MTMTE #22

Waspinator is the only one i plan on getting, goldbug & skids look good but unless hasbro changes their ways they're getting very little of my money.

He does look the biggest but I think that is due to the upper torso, those shoulders and wings are quite wide.

Waspinator: I can not wait to get him! 
Skids: Not crazy about the mold or the color choice, but I need a Classics-verse Skids for my display.
Goldfire and Dreadwing: I already have BB and Megatron, and the molds really aren't that great. I'll pass on these two.

Not a huge fan of this IDW BB mold, so Goldfire is my least favorite (I already have the United BB w/ Beelzeboss Goldbug Upgrade, which is more Classics-y). I also thing Dreadwing makes WAY better use of this mold than Megatron.

Skids' shoulder articulation still concerns me. May have to wait until some in hand images or video reviews to consider my purchase.

What's that you say? You like the in-package images, but you would rather see them freed from their plastic prisons? We can oblige! Well, we can for two of the four, but luckily it's the two new molds from the series, Waspinator and Skids! b8921061 of the HK-TF boards has posted the first in-hand images of the eagerly awaited duo. Enjoy the images mirrored below. Waspinator and Skids along with Goldfire and Dreadwing make up the next series of Transformers Generations Deluxes, which will hopefully be showing up at retails sooner than later.

The amount of firepower Skids brings is insane for a Deluxe Autobot. Both he and Waspinator are looking very sharp.

Waspinator's thorax is a mess, but his robot mode is simply divine.
Is Goldfire supposed to kinda look like Movie Bumblebee? The face, I mean.

Those shoulders are worrisome, but I'll still get Skids. I like how his feet have the actual car wheels on the bottom and not fake ones like Hasbro has been known to do lately.
Waspinator is a pass only because I don't collect BW characters. He looks pretty good though.
