Like them all very much except for Skeletor ... err. Blue Original Prime Fallen. But I'll likely only pick up Optimus, and Banzaitron.

Man, I gotta say - the HFTD line is shaping up nicely. That blue Fallen is seriously gorgeous 
. Reminds me of Cryotek a bit. Banzaitron looks amazing as well, even though I know next to nothing about his character (aside from his brief stint in the IDW-verse). Even though the HTFD line is almost entirely repaints, it honestly has me more excited than the ROTF stuff. The packaging is a lot more attractive, and despite popular opinion, I tend to like the repaints even better than the originals. Payload had me drooling when I saw him at Target, and the new red Sideways repaint looks a thousand times better than the movie version. I also like that they're sort of injecting the G2 vibe into a lot of these, as well - whether that's been intentional or not.

Nice photos but I think it's sad that whoever took the promo photo for Banzaitron in bot mode didn't manage to get the sword in good shape. Banzaitron looks less intimidating with a wibbly wobbly sword.

Pass on all.
I might get Banzai but i already have Bludgeon so i'm not gonna go out of my way to get him.
Highbrow disappoints me was hoping for a Classic Headmaster.

Well I was right about Highbrow's faction. these will all make it to my shelves, I do love this aesthetic(if the scripts were half as good as the designs, the live action films would be unbeatable). And Banzai-Tron's sword isn't crooked, he just decided to use his kriss that day instead of his katana.

HFTD isnt really doing it for me. I know there are new molds and they are pretty sweet and i might get them, but generations and pcc are way better. especially since we are getting a bucnch of repaints

Only 2 of those are Repaints. and Banzaitron is a very good repaint.
So really only one is worthy of being "Meh-ed". That's not bad. 1 out of 4.

Even in a photo shopped picture they still have Banzai-Tron's rubber sword all bent out of shape. I appreciate Hasbro's honesty, but the rubber sword really sucks. Wish they just would have made it plastic. So much paranoia about how a small child might poke his eye out like if pencils, pens, and toothbrushes arent available to do equal harm in any household.
Ill buy Fallen just for the spear, and Highbrow strictly for plane mode as I hate his head sculpt. Who needs a voyager prime when I have leader class already ???

I might get 2 out of the 4 above. If I can find him, I'd much rather prefer Bludgeon over Banzai, and the only thing that entices me about Fallen is his new head, hands, and staff. Not worth $20 to me. I'm impressed with this new Prime, and he looks light years ahead of previous versions. Highbrow is the best out of the 4 to me, but his awkward arms in bot mode have me...sceptical.

The only ones that are calling my name are Highbrow and the Fallen. Highbrow, because I may, emphasis on MAY, put him with my Classics, just because of the G1 name. Not official, but it's a possibility. And for the Fallen, since I don't own his mold yet, and he comes with his iconic staff. He would look great next to ROTF Voyager Starscream.

Banzaitron I might get a hold of... I'm liking the colours, but'll have to see him in person.
Prime, eh. I've yet to buy into the ROTF line except for Classics-esque characters, and I won't start now. Besides, if I had to get him, Takara Buster Prime all the way.
Highbrow, undecided. That face sculpt is ugly as sin, but that alt mode is sweet as mama's shoo fly pie. Might have to suck it up for him.
OMFG IT'S A G2 THE FALLEN
Now let's see all the people who went to BotCon '10 scrambling for him :3

Would it help if I pointed out that Highbrow is a fairly blatant Gobot reference, in form if not in name?

I will get Highbrow, then be annoyed when a cool repaint comes out. I bet one will have the monster mouth on the side of the plane like they used to do back in WWII. Like this... http://www.adchobbystore.com/sharks-mouth-y-side-sm.jpg
That new Fallen looks cool. I may buy it. I already have the crappy original one though...

Highbrow looks pretty cool, I may have to pick him up when he hits the shelves. It's just too bad they didn't make the propellers his hands or something like RotF HA Jazz or TFA Shockwave. I think it would have looked a little cooler that the weird hand thing he has going now.

Looks like the props can rotate forward to be used as weapons, like ROTF Incinerator should have been.

Wait...what...I don't understand...you didn't buy Bludgeon? He's the sh*t! Why not?
Ehhh, I'll most likely buy all these guys cuz I'm a completist, but I'm really only excited about Banzai-tron. I want to pose him up next to Bludge-boy. Highbrow's alright too.

Hmm, good point. Alright, Highbrow's probably going in Classics as a generic Autobot, I suppose.

Highbrow is the only one I'd even consider out of this bunch. At least Hasbro tried on him.

Well, lets see here
Banzaitron i like the colors for him, but no knew head mold so PASS. Unless a 3rd party does a new head for him, then ill pick him up.
BB Prime no need since i have the LC figure which is better anyway.
HighBrow No G1 homage there, but i love the alt mode totally awesome, but bot mode is freakin stupid looking. God i hate the props on the arms!! Hasbro could have done a better job.
The Fallen Prime I like the colors, the staff and the "give me your face" helmet, but thats it and i still think the Burning Fallen looks better.
The Sum is PASS + PASS + PASS + PASS = $$$$$ saved!!

Is it just me or is Hasbro making most of the new molds super tiny? Like for example I just picked up the deluxe Ironhide and the new voyager Battle Blades Optimus Prime and these guys are small! 
Very small, atleast compared to some of the other voyagers and deluxe ones I have. Like my deluxe battle blade bumblebee is as big as the voyager optimus prime. So its like the figures seem to get smaller and smaller yet the price stays the same lame!
