Artwork of Alpha Trion (via ZMultiplier):
Alpha Trion looks rad, but not an insta-buy. Can't wait for alt mode.
Astrotrain looks phenomenal, but no cartoon colours (unless he's silver or something and it looks white-please just once Hasbro). Looks like Takara for me, or tracking down a Henkei. If Hasbro release two versions, one with white and one with grey (kind of like Onslaught), that would be cool.

I'm seeing a good deal of speculation that a redeco into Lioconvoy is planned for Alpha Trion. It'd make sense, since in theory Hasbro wouldn't even have to tool up a new head - they could just use PMOP's.
Ok, so I'm glad to get new versions of most of these characters and hopefully I can now stop wanting G1 versions of the Headmasters and Headmaster Jrs.
Because it's so extensive I think Fort Max looks less like a remould and more like they used the same basic design.
I might actually look at third party guns for the guys that are Targetmasters in G1 just to have something a little more like I remember.
As usual I'll wait to see Takara redecos of them and probably end up buying Takara's version.
I'm betting the Takara Tomy version will be cartoon accurate like the Henkei was. I have noticed on my Henkei Astrotrain that the chrome hasn't held up well, yet another bad application of chrome from the late 2000's.
I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.
Fort Max's armpit looks a boit like the back of Metroplex's arm, with the sliding hinge, where metros arm flips around the corner. Maybe they've adapted Metros body using the back as Max's front.
I think Brainstorm is a bit, meh, but the rest warrant investigation. Alpha Trion is interesting. I look forward to a beast mode, and probably a Razorclaw coming out as well.
Hopefully Scourge is a space speedboat!!
