Not really into Robot heroes, but I may just make an exception for Blitzwing.
Seems theres a Sunstreaker there too.

Beast Wars Heroes are officially the cutest thing ever. ever.
EVER.
Rattrap especially is super adorable! And nice to see some cool often-ignore G1 characters like Blitzwing and Hound getting some attention (that's the kind of G1 homages I like!)
Hound I think is the cutest Robot Heroe to date (take that Ravage!), that expression is priceless!

Cripes, what utter crap. How about some new LEGENDS! Beast Wars Legends would rock.

i have a feeling that, well since galvatron and sunstreaker will be in classics 2.0 and blitzwing (would have been in classics 2.0)is in animated and so I think Hound will be too!

Yeppers, they are some seriously nice looking figures. Bet they come in seprate packs, so you have to buy both!
I'm not 100% sold on the Beast Wars toys though, I bet they will look far better when coloured properly. Wonder who the 4th toy will be...

All of these will be mine!
Passed on the movie figs, but I like these, RatTrap and Megatron look real weird though, still I like them!
It would be cool if they made these that could transform though. I know they did the PlaySchool thing, but I want these guys, same size, 2 modes...
That would rock!

NICE. No objections from me...in fact, it may just be another excuse to take up more space around my monitor at work.

RATTRAP IS AWESOME!
i appologise for my unrestrained use of capital letters i assure you that it wont happen again.
But seriously great to see beast wars getting some love.
Given the recognition in the 10th anniversry line, the new sculpts created from it, blackaracnia in animated and these cute little buggers it makes me hopeful that classics/universe will reimagine some of the beast wars characters (with repaint potential as pats of predaking perhaps)

Absolutely Awesome
I bought up all the G1 RH the second I saw them.
the movie ones never worked for me but BW RH are AWESOME!
I love the new G1 molds as well.
I hope they continue this line for a long time to come.
They are like mini tributes to our faves, and my girlfriend loves them.

Both my daughter and I approve, though I wonder if this is a prelude to more waves...(like who is the 4th BW, what about Optimus Primal, etc)

The more I look at Galvatron...I do like it, but I'm wondering about the decision to have his arm out sideways like that. Not that poseability is foremost with these little guys, but while he'll look nice when his head's turned to match that direction, there's not much else I can see him doing if it rotates 360 at the shoulder. I think the cannon should have been at more of an angle, or maybe straight forward from his body.

Hehe, my girlfriend is SO addicted to these things. Well, the G1 figures that is. She keeps asking when or if Ironhide will happen - her favorite character

I'm happy about all 4 of these new figures, but am VERY pleased to see Hound in there. Talk about an unexpected surprise.
Fingers crossed that we still eventually get Wheeljack, Cyclonus, Ironhide, Ratchet, Prowl and the other 4 Dinobots. I'd kill for a Reflector set, a Constructicon set and the other 2 Insecticons.

I wonder if this is one wave with Beast Wars and G1 being sold together or two seperate waves being previewed at the same time.
The fourth Beast Wars toy would be a predacon and most likely an episode one show character.
i'd love to see T-Wrecks, Packrat, Detritus and Alternators Dead End repaints of these (although Sunstreaker's G1 form doesn't quite match up to Alternator Dead End's appearance).

Thank you Raptorjesus! I've been waiting for these! I'll get them all.
Hound's looking a little bloated, but I'll still get him.
Rattrap looks like he's saying 'WHAT did you call me?'

Augh! I was thinking I'd probably at least get the Galvatron because it'll be the only G1 Galvatron I'll ever own, but that weird smirk on his face really ruins the figure for me. Looks like he just cut the Energon, blamed it on Cyclonus, and is trying really, really hard not to laugh about it.

Sweet. I really like the Rhinox one. I just hope they end up releasing even more Robot Heroes.. heck an Armada series would rock.

I think that this bizarre group of G1 Robot Heroes is a hint of things to come in the G1 reissue figure department. I know all those have been reissued by Takara. I can dream. North American release of lava bath Galvatron anyone?
