Love Ironhide's new canons.
Ratchet's better in premium TF1.
ROTF Leader Prime amazes me with the accuracy and I'm sucker for swords.
Voyager TF1 Prime for bonecrusher.
ROTF Megatron Reminds me of Bonaparte, so I have legends of him for now. But I do much prefer his ROTF incarnation in leader scale. Seems more an intricate transformation into a neat scifi tank.
ROTF Swerve is pure awesome too. But where's the yellow variant?
Starscream I'm starting to lean leader scale, but for now I'm not really fond of his mold really. Or Brawl for that matter. I love the new Bumblebee head, but the remolding of his arm to a pure cannon annoys me. He's a transformer who needs both hands. So TF1 got that right.

So it's really a mixed bag it seems depending on what characters you like and who appeared when, but the ROTF toys seem far more intricate and complicated while staying easy and being accurate. Though some exceptions do apply like prime for accuracy, but it pays off. That sideswipe mold is badass too, it needs to start being repainted. Some molds also are the same as previous, or just not different enough imho.
Ratchet is indifferent, Jazz has already been through the rainbow, Bumble bee (really none/all, but you need to swap parts), Ironhide's canons. And voyager Prime.

I haven't gotten chromia yet to judge her though in comparison to Arcee from TF1, but I'll save final verdict upon seeing her combined too. ICT is already a winner.

The twins over the drone car easily as well design-wise. I think the same principlese are there as before, but are better put in practice design wise now. Makes me wonder what kind of innovation movie 3 toys will have. Prime with matrix cavity and super armor trailer? Ultramagnus? Megatron combining with the fallen? Power Master Optimus Prime and engine bot. Etc. They've really outdone themselves in a lot of instances for detail makes me wonder what'll be their way of topping it in movie 3.

Human Alliance though wins hands down in my book. Now if only they do the constructicons to scale in this manner.
