Why is it Hasbro can never pack an Optimus character with Megatron? And why can't they pack Rodimus with Galvatron? I mean, wouldn't these match-ups have made better sense?
Then again, this is Hasbro we're talking about.

Any word on a release date for these packs?

It's simple marketing. Packing Primes and Megatrons seperately with other third-tier characters forces you to buy multiple packs, thus making them more money.

I've been a little "whatever" on the character choices for these so far, but I definitely want that adorable Hound/Blitzwing set.

The yellow on BlackArachnia is blinding, but it works!
I got all the G1 figs, I skipped the movie versions, but I have to say I've been eagerly waiting for these!
So once again, when they hit the shelves I shall wave them tauntingly infront of the 3 inch Titanium shelf warmers

I'm going to get them all. Looks like they reduced the size of Miss Arachnia's upper chassis.

Curse them!
Still, I love the fact that they based her on an Asian Striper!
We'll never get something that cool again

Anyone else wonder if they'll make Transformers Animated Robot Heroes? Their designs are so simple and smooth, they'd be perfect for the Heroes line.
Nice stuff, packaging is sharp - Hound and Blitzwing are adorable, maybe one of the best Heroes sets yet. I LOVE the Beast Wars guys too, but why is Megatron blue with a purple face? He looks like he's wearing a children's snowsuit...

These look great. And like others I do dig the packaging with these. Looks like we get a first look at what the new "TF Universe" logo will loook like.
I've got all the G1 RH (skipped the movie set) so these are a no brainer for me.

Didn't he have an exclusive repaint? Like a Convention exclusive or something? It was black and looked badass!

Shocktaract, repaint as a new character doesn't count.
