It has been a long time since Hasbro has shown this much confidence in a new show's toyline. They are giving it a marketing push unlike anything we have seen in a decade (neither 2015 RID nor Cyberverse ever got this much attention) with a big presentation at SDCC and a reveal of a new toyline. They have a full breakdown of the toyline, showing the various classes and revealing the gimmicks behind them. It is very varied with a return to form for traditional type toys in some classes and completely new gimmicks in others. Also is it just me or is that shot of Megatron giving some IDW Lost Light vibes?
Check out the info below on the various classes followed by the images:

I love Megatrons alt mode
That Terran switch character is pretty interesting
And that deluxe Bumblebee looks pretty good. May just have to pick that up and throw it in my generations collection

Even the 1 step wheeljack has a better torso than wfcs haha. Only really liking the Drone thing with the cthru plastic, could be some kind of rid 2015 fixit use for me.
My only major dislike is that simple change boxy optimus that reminds me how really bad simple 80s robots were better than most of these simple changers (motorised robot line or I might be thinking of something else). There's probably happy meal toys that have looked better. Some times things can be dumbed down too much.

This is all very heavily stylized, which is fine for a cartoon toy line but I personally don't know that I like the style.
The red flyer has major RB:A Whirl vibes. And she is close enough to facial proportions I am going to throw her in. Bee and the Seeker feel very much like they were ported over from Cyberverse.
I love Megatrons alt mode but the head doesn't sell it for me. Mega0lex maybe?

That red drone guy is my most anticipated toy from this line.
At last, something FRESH!
Is the gray one Megatron? Because if yes, he became "younger" and "sexier". Maybe he finally took his rivalry with Starscream a bit too seriously and became part-seeker.
Bee is pretty great looking and I'll be adding the deluxe to my hive. Too bad it's the giant one who come with the human minifig and she can't even ride the vehicle. Too bad that last category is not similar to ROTF's Human Alliance. But we have to consider the main target audience for that line obviously.
Optimus and Elita-1 are a big FAT "meh".
I'm looking forward to see this line on the shelves.

I find the Cyberverse Seeker reuse...interesting. It doesn't look like it has any new improvements, seeing that the legs still look as limited as ever. But hey, hopefully I'm wrong.
The rest do look quite snazzy and the more kid-oriented figures look cute. The finger puppet ones seem like they'd be some nice fun.
I do quite love the Animated-inspired Megs alt mode! Looks like something I'll snag, and could maybe pretend to be "Legacy 'Animated-Universe' Megatron" for my Generations collection, hah! The resemblance is just as dubious as some of those Prime figs, eh?
I might also pick up BB and Terran, Bee's alt mode feels like a really nice change of pace from the Camaro alikes and Terran is something fresh.

I assume the character's name is "Twitch" and that "Terran" just denotes her birthplace, since that seems to be a key plot point for the series.

At least this time around, Earth will actually have a human population instead of being a creepy no-mans-land filled with ghosts like in Cyberverse.

With the exception of the drone one, this is another "easy pass" line which is fine. Makes it easier to save my cash for the MPG trainbots.

OK, time out for a second- I have major misgivings about the show itself, and the gimmicky stuff is just that, but the "older kids" figures look...actually good!?! Twitch looks like a fun little toy, Megatron looks nice even if he is probably way too small, and that Elita I might actually buy over the Legacy version (I want Minerva from that mold). Top marks Hasbro, you did good.

I think Elita 1 is the Windblade.
And yeah, Terran is the new "faction" of Earth born robots. The Terrans are integrated into their human families so their full names are Twitch Malto and Thrasher Malto. I suspect this is Hasbro's way of using common names while still getting a nice unique trademark combination (even though they seem to be using Terran Twitch instead).
Twitch looks like a promising figure and I'm glad we're getting Deluxe figures again. Really curious about that new Cyberverse Seeker repaint, it's like a mashup of Skywarp and Thundercracker. I don't think anyone was expecting anything more than a new Cyberverse style toy line but I'm glad we aren't getting less.

This is cool. I even see some recycled Cyberverse. The Bumblebee figure looks perfect, now Cyberverse Bumblebee goes down the drain. (Just wish we could get a g1 Bee 
)
Megatron reminds me of animated. But why is Optimus not a flatnose! There is no disadvantage of being a flatnose, it means less kibble! If I was a kid, I'd likely think Optimus was cool and unique for being a flatnose, because we dont see much of those anymore.

Interesting stuff there. The deluxe bee looks nice. Wonder If they’ll want to release him in blue like with Prime and call him Hot Shot.
Megs has really different Alt mode. Kind of like it.
Terran Twitch looks really nice. Might have to go out and find her.
Tell me, there’s going to be a deluxe Wheeljack.
Prime is super bland.
And that dark Starscream, is just straight up Animated SS.

Skywarp is just a straight redeco of Cyberverse Warrior class Starscream. LAZY!
The three Deluxes (Twitch, Bumblebee, and Megatron) look great, though.
No mention of the Mandroid Build-A-Figure?

Hope is just undiscovered dissapointment. You won't be wrong.
You are correct.
Not a fan of that Prime either but he's par for the course in the way Hasbro's been treating the character in the kid show toylines. Face us extra rough this time though.
Wheeljack has the same design as the SS deluxe one that's currently on shelves, so just grab that one. It's one if the best Wheeljack toys ever made.

Similar head… entirely different alt mode.
SS is great, already own him and love him. But I’m a Wheeljack fan, would like a Wheeljack with a rounded windshield chest and the sports car alt mode if possible. And before you say it, yes I already own Earthrise / Netflix / Kingdom / Legacy Wheeljack.

Why do one-step Transformers look so bad now?
Less articulation than a one-step figure from 1996??
Also, Prime... Why the long face

Because limiting articulation ensures a smoother transformation and that's what Hasbro prioritizes for that class. It means a 2 year old could transform one step RID sideswipe but have a much harder time with BW rattrap.

I think that's a bit of a disservice to the the 2 y/o. I was 2-3 around the time of Sunbow. None of the original line were beyond the ingenuity of a child. I think the ethos to those one-step figures is Hasbro being cheap and getting away with it. By trying to imply the basic transformers were ever too advanced for their target audience.

Forgive me for not being so pessimistic like most people, sometimes I am genuinely surprised with what is given to us by HasTak.
I think in this case it will probably be the same as before but I'm keen to see if maybe they'll change something up.
Kinda surprised they went with this mold instead of the other 'Screamer one that had all the blast effects - aside from cost reasons.

Hope is just undiscovered dissapointment. You won't be wrong.
Forgive me for not being so pessimistic like most people, sometimes I am genuinely surprised with what is given to us by HasTak.
I think in this case it will probably be the same as before but I'm keen to see if maybe they'll change something up.
Kinda surprised they went with this mold instead of the other 'Screamer one that had all the blast effects - aside from cost reasons.

Ah, thank you. Completely flew over my head that they're in different classes. Now that makes more sense!

I get similar vibes from these Earthspark toys that I did from the Cyberverse line, which I skipped completely. Cyberverse was made for younger folks. They were simpler and a bit tougher, which makes sense because with children, they are handled more roughly. Earthspark seems to be of a similar sort. I didn't really like the look or feel from Cyberverse, which means I probably won't collect Earthspark either. But it's still early, they may pull some surprises. We shall see.

You can't really call someone "daft" and other immature expletives if you're not specific with your statement and/or move the goalposts each time.
There's no reason to be this aggressive!

Elita-1 looks horrid. THat vehicle mode....it's like they didn't finish it or something, and there's just too much pink. It detracts from the figure.
I am getting that Megatron...what a unique alt mode for him! I love it! So different from anything he's ever been (save for IDW stealth bomber Megs).
Why does that Optimus look like he has dad bod?
Bumblebee...My wife was looking over my shoulder and said, "Again? Good God, I wish he'd just go away." I agree.
Twitch...Twitch is interesting. Not sure how I feel about it, but again it's a very unique alt mode (with a horribly disguised head). May pick it up because it's a new character.
The Seeker...well, Hasbro had to milk the Geewunners somehow and another round repainted Seekers is always good for that. Otherwise, meh.

Closer to SG Skywarp when you look at that color scheme, may have to pick him up just for that.

Absolutely nobody thinks calling someone a retard and asking if they're daft because YOU keep changing what you mean is "fun".
You need to start being clearer with your words and stop being a jerk to your fellow board members.
