They don't look bad, Alpha Trion could be a bit more manly looking maybe, but really, $40 for each one? Not a chance.
edit: please bare in mind that my sig details the fact that I want to complete the cast of The Transformers: The Movie, and even then I won't be buying these.

The only IT figure I own is Arcee, and it's pretty fragile. These 3 figures seem more suitable for the old PVC line that was released years back. I'm with others in this thread, not worth $39.99/ea. Even bundled at this rate, I'd still do some serious consideration before purchasing.
I don't like how these came out. Something in the design that just doesn't win me over. A3 looks like he was made out of Play-Doh (R)!
Maybe if we got some pics of them posed with actual movie figures from the 80s, they might fit in. But there's no way they fit in with other lines.

I dearly want Quintessons, Shark and Alli - cons, Arblus, Kranix, the freaky little Lithonians, that dude who got fed to the Sharkticons, a dozen completely different Junkions with interchangeable parts, the weird Nightcrawler looking Decepticon who runs past a bunch of times in a loop when Unicron attacks Cybertron, the whole shebang! BUT, I'm only interested in paying for quality product, mang, choo hear what I'm sayin'?

I feel the same way. I have all of the Quint figures. And the Baliff and Executioner were very weak. They had little articulation and could barely hold their weapons. I am surprised Impossible Toys can't evolve into something more.

The planet Unicron first devours in the opening sequence of the movie...I have always wanted more detail about them...what was their society like? They seem to be a scientifically-enlightened society, maybe a pre-war era sister-planet to Cybertron?
I always found it hard to swallow that in the TF universe there would be an alt planet populated by a bunch of NON-transforming robots...maybe given my above statements they should all have "science-y" alt modes...like distant relatives of Perceptor.
ZOMG they could even make an Omega Supreme-esque leader class guy who turns into, like, and LHC or something...(okay admittedly now I am just nerding out here, sorry)
But yeah, 40 bucks for a non-transformer who doesnt even look (from the posted pics) like he would be very well articulate is a disappointment....start the movement NOW! Cry out for Kranix to be given a real mold!

That said, they didn't transform int he move, so I'm fine with these, but ... I wouldn't object to a better option.

Why? What's wrong with some variety? In our universe not all life forms have opposing thumbs. Or walk on two legs. Or walk. I could go on.

of course YOU are going to preach "variety"...coming from a guy who includes a rabbit (??) among his collection of autobot leaders

Looking at the pics, I can't really tell..................are they even poseable? They don't look like it to me. The price drives me away, even though I would like to have Kranix and Arbilis...
