[Ktulu]

1. Onslaught - Big and bad and a great new vision still clearly tied to G1. Absolutely exemplifies what these updates should be about, imo.
2. Sunstreaker - Stunning in both modes, solid all around, like a deluxe Alternator!
3. Silverstreak - Absolutely gorgeous deco, a fine example of a mere paint swap bringing out the best in a mold
4. Sideswipe - Just as good as Sunstreaker, but I'm a little less charmed. Feels he should have had an extra gun to me, for the launcher AND gun combo. I understand that is way too much to ask in reality, but in the quest for finding as many differences between he and Streaker as possible, I wanna leave that gun on his shoulder and have another one in his hand, you know? I've fixed it myself, would've been cool to do it right out of the package though.
5. Prowl - A favorite character of mine updated rather well. I think he's better than he got credit for. It doesn't hurt that mine has no sticky paint, and I've never had his doors pop off during transformation. I think it's all in how you handle it, perhaps.
6. Silverbolt - Another toy I think has gotten way too much flack. Simple transformation? So what! Both modes look great, and the simplicity has G1 written all over it anyway.
7. Octane - Consistent in execution to Classics 1.0 Astrotrain, not absolute perfection, but probably as good as possible at the scale. I think he looks pretty good. Solid buy, especially when considering the long running Wal-Mart sale on deluxes.
8. Powerglide - The colors don't bug me so much, it's just the oddly proportioned robot mode that leaves me hanging. Feels like a leader class torso on a voyager bottom with ultra arms. Still, he's grown on me.
9. Ironhide - Almost a really great update, but the visible transformation lines all over the vehicle, a crappy distribution of color in bot mode, and the damn head looking downwards when transformed right almost ruin the potential entirely.
10. Galvatron - I love the character but there's just so much wrong with this toy. Deco is too plain in vehicle mode and too obnoxious in robot mode with the orange bits. He's floppy and parts fall off way too easily. His absolute only saving grace is that he DOES end up with a decent representation of the G1 character in robot mode...but at such a small size he can hardly integrate with the other figures properly. And no, I don't buy the "he was made for Classics Rodimus" crap.

Note - I don't yet own the Cyclonus/Hound wave I'm sure with those Galvatron and Ironhide would be off my list.
