Agree with both these sentiments. Animal/monster Transformers don't hold much appeal for me, though I may make an exception for a Supreme-class Predaking, and I love the Generations line, its always great to see new molds of old figures.
I did a thread of G1 vs NewMolds here (looks like I'll get to expand it even more this year!): http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=15361
