Breakaway, Longarm and Rampage are identical to their original releases. While Sideways seems to have 'battle-damage', the changes compared to his original release are minuscule.
Galleries of these figures can be found here on Seibertron;
Rampage
Breakaway
Longarm
Sideways
'Autobot Strike Mission' gives new fans a chance on picking up 2007 Movie Longarm, however the other three figures are recent releases. This set will most likely not hit main retail. It can be assumed that this is either a Sam's Club Exclusive or a Costco Exclusive. Since Sam's Club Exclusives usually involve Deluxe Figures, and since Costco Exclusives usually go for bigger figures at lower prices, it can be assumed that this is a Sam's Club Exclusive.
The original link to this set can be found here.

sorry for the rant i just don't like battle damage, it seems pointless.

My suggestions for Hasbro:
Silver Breakaway, green/orange Longarm (call him Hoist), reversed black/silver Sideways (call him Wildrider) and red Rampage.
I'd totally buy that.

I believe Longarm was in the prequel novel, The Veiled Threat.
I want this. I hope it's at Costco.
I don't have any of these figures, so this would a great way to get them.
Plus, I really want Longarm.

If it's Costco, you're gonna have it in Canada. I believe Sam's Club has some chains in Ontario, but that's just it.

That is correct, he was, along with several other guys that were toy only (some renamed) from line one, and a few newer ones. I recall Knockdown, I'm still reading it. He is also, like several of the other non-movie Deluxes from TF1, semi-based on one of the 'drone' models from the video games.
Breakaway is used in the games. He's the flying and sniper type for the Autobots in the console ones.
Overall, I agree that these should of been repainted or something to make them more exclusive. About the only thing to gain here is the Longarm for people that missed the first one.
I could see this as being an 'off-camera' accompliment to the fight in the beginning of the movie, though. Sideways was running -away- from someone when he was spotted, and as the Constructicons exist reusing their body forms amongst members.

I was going to say they should have made an exclusive version of Sideways that "transforms" from a car into...two halves of a car

Have you been reading the same thread as I have?
That's been mentioned multiple times.
