Let's not forget Classics 2.0/Universe
All this talk of Animated is stealing the spotlight. Not that it doesn't deserve it.
I was just at the Big Bad Toy Store site, and saw some of the toys. Wow. I mean, some of those look just plain dull but I already have a couple on my to-buy list. Galvatron (deluxe), Dropshot (voyager) (I hope he can shoot ALL those missiles), Onslaught is worth a shot (Ultra), Acid Storm (deluxe) (a repaint), and Legends G2 Megatron, Hound, and Jazz. All look real awesome.
Though I was kinda disappointed by some figures. Namely the ones in the Ultra and Voyager class. Also, besides Acid Storm, there are 2 repaints. I only recall one which is Blaster, a repaint of Cybertron Soundwave.
What are you looking forward to? And are there any more figures planned?

Tankor is a deluxe, man.
No longer looking for RID Dreadwind, but I still need Smokejumper. I'm also in need of Mammoth Nemesis Prime's tail piece, as my figure lacks it. Send me a PM.

I like the look as well...but then I've (for some odd reason) been trying to get ahold of Scattorshot for a while!!
I do like Galvatron and the Autobot flyers, Silverbolt and Powerglide...team them with Jetfire and they'll be a match for the Seekers!! haha.

If you can keep your head when all around are loosing theirs...you probably haven’t grasped the situation!!

Yeah, Denyer's right about that...oh, and I guess I should've said where I got those; BBTS has the set of four Universe Voyagers up for pre-order, and I, rather than noticing that they had the figures up on their own as well, cropped the pictures of the four figures shown together to get just Dropshot's modes, haha

Classics 2.0/Universe interests me very little at this point. I'll pick up Prowl and Sunstreaker for sure, and Acid Storm on principle alone. Galvatron, maybe, I want to see one in person to see if its as ugly as the pictures. The rest really have no appeal to me, and the repaints in this line are really horrible for the most part.
Update:
Ok so maybe you guys already saw this, but what the heck.

From the Universe line, Deluxe Sideswipe, Ironhide, and Silverstreak.
I don't like how Ironhide's vehicle form is so goddamn broken up, but the other figures look great.

Yesterday I had some time to kill before my Softball game, so I decided to head to the mall to check to see if they had any Animated BA's or Ratchet's. I was on my way to Toys'R'Us, when I noticed an Ages 3+ store (this was at a mall that I haven't been to in years BTW). So I went in and do you know what they had on the shelves? Deluxe Classics 2.0 toys! I got Prowl, Sunstreaker and Octane (I still refuse to call him Tankor).
I was busy all day yesterday, so I haven't had a chance to even open them yet, but when I do tonight, I'll post some pics. This was such a surprise because I wasn't expecting them until August. I heard rumours that they were released in Ontario, but I had no idea they'd be out here already.
The Canadian packaging sucks BTW, all characters have Sunstreaker on the card as the card art, and the back just has all three toys displayed. I'm assuming that they are the same as the Animated wave 1 deluxes, and the instructions have the actual profile of the character on the back of them.

How big is ultra?
Onslaught looks great. The only thing making me hesitate about getting him is the size. I don't really want a gigantic figure. I'm not too familiar with the ultra class. Just how big is it?

Starfield: here are some photos of an Ultra in hand. I own maybe only three others, so I'm not sure if this is average, but it seems like it.

Onslaught looks like he'll end up about the same height, if not a bit shorter, but with a naturally bulkier vehicle mode. Most of the size of this guy comes from the length of the jet, and the wingspan. Onslaught will be, of course, higher off the ground when set down on his wheels.
Also, I guess this is the place to say it, Onslaught is one of the few figures I plan to pick up from the new Universe lot. Wave 2 of the Legends figures look great, but none of the Deluxes stand out immediately as must-buys for me.
