That's a fugly Blaster. Prowl / Sunstreaker look good.

"And also the US-and-elsewhere released Soundwave, but that doesn't sound as exotic..."Autobot Blaster is a repaint of the Japanese Soundblaster
Yeah, it's not a draw. I've seen some folk do kitbashes of Soundwave into Blaster involving a new head, and it works a lot better that way...
...Ah! Found it. It was the super-awesome Japanese kitbasher whose pages I can't read.
Galaxy Force Blaster w/scratchbuilt Steeljaw and Twincast w/work in progress pictures of Steeljaw.
That Blaster might just be the ugliest new toy I've seen in years. The other Cybertron repaint (that's the Quickmix mold, right? Pity they didn't do him up as G1 Quickmix, then...) is much better, but so bland and generic that I can't imagine wanting to buy it.
Octane's robot mode doesn't look as good in this shot as it did when we saw the prototypes. He doesn't look much better than Astrotrain, but he's still not bad.
Sunstreaker and Prowl both look awesome in colour and properly transformed.
Powerglide doesn't look bad, but he really, really needs more colour and less white. I know they wanted to give the alt-mode a realistic colour scheme, but he's just so plain. Just making the silver detailing a bit darker would do a world of good.
Onslaught still doesn't inspire me as an Ultra, and his head doesn't look right in that pic. Too narrow, maybe?

EDIT: Dude, in order to mirror them, I'd need to be able to access them first... The site is simply not loading due to EXTREMELY high traffic. Sorry.

The Autobot cars look pretty sharp and Galvatron? Those are the three I'm looking forward to most. Powerglide looks cool, but I'm starting to pick and choose my larger tfs, and I'd rather have Galvy. Probably won't grab a whole lot of large ones, aside from major players and cast members from future movies. After Skylinx and Omega are out I probably won't snag too many more large reissues. Just give me Ramjet and Thrust, Takara. They're the last two seekers I need. Then I'm set with G1 unless they find or recast Mirage, Wheeljack and Sunstreaker. Maybe I'll pick up Overlord.
EDIT: Weird! The attacked images in Denyer's post are causing the left portion of the posts to get chopped off after editing. Is anyone else finding that? I got plenty of space on either side, but it doesn't stretch the field like it used to.

Keep checking back the ASMzine link Denyer posted. I've seen their images, and they're cool. Just not finished yet.

Out of this wave, Sunstreaker, Prowl, Galvatron and (surprisingly) Powerglide are on my "Gotta Get" list.
Octane/Tankor is a definate maybe.
Any idea who/what Heavy Load is supposed to be?

As a professional tanuki (I'm a Japanese mythological animal, and a good luck charm), I have an alarm clock built into me somewhere. I also look like a stuffed animal. And you thought your life was tough......
