Protectobots are a must buy
Devastator is so tempting, he's just out of scale for my collection

They're all beautiful. Devastator's combined form, robots and vehicles are perfect. The pure cartoon and toy accuracy trumps the 3P Devastators easily, in my books. Cyclonus is nice, but a pass. RTS will be fine. All of the Protectobots look fantastic in both modes. Blades and Hot Spot look the best. The combined form is pretty nice. Looks solid.
As freaking awesome as Viper looks, I'll be skipping him, since I have no place for him. Warpath is good enough to get though.
Ultra Magnus, with Devastator, is the star of the show. Minimus Ambus fitting in his chest? Fantastic. IDW proportions while keeping the G1 blockiness? Perfection. Looking forward to it.
The RID stuff looks decent, but nothing I feel the need to get.

My wallet is going to hate me. There is too much awesome CW stuff. Argh! I love it!

Devastator is beautiful; especially the individual Constructicons. Makes me want to display them as individual robots, but I know I'll display them combined simply due to space restrictions.Ultra Magnus looks pretty awesome too. Adding Minimus Ambus is just excellent!
Cyclonus -- robot looks rather chunky, but jet looks great. Doesn't personally interest me as I have both Universe and RtS Cycloni.
Warpath -- nice retool, but as I already have Generations Deluxe Warpath, I'll pass.

Holy freaking hell!
Oh man, I am going to be so freaking broke this year! For the first time I ever I've decided to buy doubles as I am loving the individual combiner wars figures as well as the gestalts. I NEEDS ME THAT Defensor and Devestator!
While it would be nice for Devestator to be in scale with the rest - I'm sure as hell not complaining that he is nice and huge! Plus the individual Constructicons as Voyager size makes sense compared to the rest of the line. In that sense its perfectly logical for the likes of Long Haul to be twice the size of First Aid. Groove becoming chest armor is a fanstastic idea!
Magnus looks brilliant, but I'm really excited for that Cyclonus - he look sexy as!
Massive props to you Hasbro - you've done very fricken well!

Ultra Magnus is the undisputed start of this show as far as I'm concerned.
Some of the Protectobots are very nice too, especially Streetwise, but Hot Spot and Blades are great too. Nothing against Rook, as he looks like a good figure, but the lack of a deluxe Groove is a big disappointment. The vehicle mode of First Aid as a rugged emergency vehicle instead of a traditional ambulance is fine, but the robot mode has an ugly backpack.
Cyclonus works in every respect expect the head design.
I'm reserving judgment on Devy. As has been mentioned, some of them have very suspect-looking elbows for such big figures. Long Haul's elbow joints appears to move sideways instead of up and down, for heaven's sake. Wish his head was black too. Not sure that size-wise there is a spot in my collection for these Constructicons.
As for RID, I know I'll be caving and getting a few of the deluxes including Jazz, Sideswipe and drift. Reckon I'll be combining Prime and RID collections and pretending they are one line.

It's.....it's like we are living in 1985. But an alternate version were transformers toys look just like the ones on the TV on Saturday mornings
Seriously though this is all outstanding. I give lots and lots of respect to hasbro for all of it. The amount of G1 product to choose from is actually quite incredible. My boys love the G1 DVDs so this has been met with a lot of excitement on viewing the pics on the ipad. Orders are going in for birthdays and Christmas as we speak.
Do we have any knowledge if most will hit Australian retail shelves?

Devastator is a must buy for me, can't wait for that one. Defensor is very disproportioned, but it is good that people here are happy with him
I still function.....................while killing threads. ;-)

The constructicons are so beautifully g1. Simple and blocky. But "scrapper itself is bigger than g1 devs"... Why couldn't they make them smaller!
