These look cool. I was looking for one of the helicopter limbs to add to my Superion (I know they were technically part of Bruticus but they fit the Aerialbots theme and mean that I can have one less duplicate in my collection) and I've heard that the Supercon Optimus Prime mold was pretty good.

I'm glad that Universe is re-releasing these older molds that some of us might have missed out on the first time around.

I may buy the Supercon Prime, but the copters are probs a pass.

Loving Optimus Prime, I was considering that mold from eBay. As for the other two, a remold of the decepticon logo into autobot would've been nice... now who are they, new characters? I was hoping that this line would stick with making older characters, not newbies!

I think the point of the Universe line now is just to give Hasbro an excuse to continue selling figures in the "classic" style now that they've got lines like the movie and Animated that have a more distinct look.

Which, quite frankly, is fine by me. I just wish that they had this line going when the original movie figures first hit the shelves so that I'd have an alternative to the Faceless Wonders.
