The local TRU got in a crapload of Universe stuff yesterday (of course, it was just the first assortments in bulk, but it was still the most new TF stuff I've seen at TRU since the movie launch date), and I was able to pick up the three wave 1 deluxes (Octane, Sunstreaker, and Prowl), as well as the G1 RH sets (Blitzwing vs. Hound and Galvatron vs. Sunstreaker). Plenty of the 2 BW sets hanging around, as well as two pegs full of the little "Legends" toys.
Prowl is easily the winner of the deluxes, although he isn't as nice as the prototype pictures made him out to be. The transformation on his doors and front fenders is a little wonky, and due to the leg construction, his feet don't hold him up very well, but otherwise, he's a great toy. Sunstreaker is so-so, although it's very noticeable how they're going to turn this into Sideswipe (as you can literally turn the pertinent body parts around and make another unique figure), but that doesn't detract from the toy. I do miss the shoulder rocket launchers, though.
Octane...erm..."Tankor" is a little weak in bot mode. The plane mode is great, and the tanker truck mode is acceptable (far better than Astrotrain's "train" mode to say the least), but the robot mode is very weak in design and execution. He feels like the equivalent of the SL Battle Droids in that he's very flimsy, with very thin limbs, and he probably won't stand up on his own for too long. Definitely the weakest of the three.
No sign of the Ultra assortment (Powerglide and Onslaught), nor the Voyager repaint-o-rama, which I'm not touching with a 10 foot pole.
