My mate got barricade and Jazz.

Jazz is a little pants, apart form the perma-bent knees, barricade isnt band.

Form the looks of them, they are pretty muchlike the LoC, hit and miss, some very good, some very bad.

I have them all. They aren't bad for what they are. Barricade is the best, although I wish he had elbow articulation. Prime isin't bad either.

I believe these figures are designed to look best in alt mode.

i have the first 4 and i will give you my thoughts on the other 4 as well
rachet (owned): i gave him away. seriously. i even had the more tasteful variant. but i still gave him away.
jazz (own): he's cool. only middle of the range, but still decent to fiddle with.
bumblebee (own): i wasn't too hot on him until i performed my knee mod(see tfw) on him, and now he is awesomely posable and has so much character
barricade (own): not much of a hide in pocket fig as a put with blackout as they are in scale figure. the posability is great and the 2 panel arms are better than dx jazz's and still convincing. best of the lot straight off the card and still ahead of modded bumblebee.
optimus (i want): he seems decent. has little to no chance of adding needs but he looks like a decent you-stand-and-shoot-over-there commander. the truck looks very good.
megatron (i want): he sems to be spiffing fun in bot mode and his alt mode looks better than any other movie megatrons alt mode.
blackout (i want): he seems to have decent leg movement but he looks very leggy. not evac leggy but stil very leggy. his arms seeem good even if they missed out on the opertunity to give him elbows by changing the upper arm swivels to balljoints. the helicoptor looks decent.
starscream (eh): his jet mode seems ok and his bot mode proportions can be forgiven because of his well jointed arms. chicken walker legs bug me but it is forgivable. plus he is cheap
i will be completist on this line as far as molds go and probaly repaints as well.
