Now that I've picked up a few more of these, I'm pretty satisfied. There are some minor qualms I have w/ some of them, but nothing too distracting, and I plan to end up w/ most of this line.
I'd say lugnut and blackarachnia are my two favorites, deluxe prime, lockdown and prowl are above average, and ratchet is ok. The others I own I haven't opened yet.

Finally opened starscream, soundwave, and voyager prime. Here're some quick reviews:
I think voyager prime is my new favorite: the transformation is fun (I actually kinda like the "whirling" tf gimmick), and I like the way he looks in both modes. He's just a lot of fun to fiddle with. My only complaints are his faceplate (it just sits below his chin when down) and his axe isn't anime accurate (which is pretty minor). I give him a 8.5/10.
Soundwave is pretty good, w/ a fun transformation. I was disappointed by his proportions, his goofy-looking hands and his wobbly legs, however. Also, he has a hard time holding lazerbeak as a guitar in bot mode; he loses some cool points for that: 7/10, and that may be a bit high, what w/ my soundwave nostalgia and all.
Starscream may have the simplest transformation of any voyager figure I own. There're only three steps or so: pull out feet, flip his legs forward which automorphs almost everything else, then adjust arms. I do like his bot mode more than I thought I would, and my only problem w/ his alt mode is that his guns don't attach to the wings; they hang underneath the plane, still attached to his arms. He does look great otherwise though: 8/10.
The animated line as a whole is a great one in my mind; not the best, but definitely in the top 5 tf lines. If this trend continues, it may break into the top 3, imo.
