I loved blurr, but I'm happy with my regular one.

The Blurr doesn't bother me much and I had hoped Wasp would have gotten a new head sculpt but this is great news. Pretty glad I bought the Skywarp now that we are getting Thundercracker as well.
And Wingblade Prime looks pretty nifty.

Blurr looks cool. The thin blue stripes on the tires kinda make think of Automan's car.
I like the black better than the baby blue. And since Blurr's wave never made it down here that I could see, I'd be happy to pick this one up instead.
Him and Rodimus are as good as bought.

That Wasp toy was known for a while, and it was either Wasp or Ironhide getting a new head. Yes, Ironhide is coming too, as a retool of Cybertron Mode Ratchet, who's a new mold on its own. 
That said, I'm digging Wasp and Wingblade Prime. Glad I skipped the Battle Begins one.

I still wish they would've finished the Starscream Clones. I knew Slipstream was unlikely considering the remolding involved, but they could've given us Ramjet and Thrust.
I know Thrust wasn't in the cartoon, but then again, neither was Dirge.

Very nice!
TFA Blurr is a great figure and the repaint looks slick.
Rodimus Minor looks great and Wasp is neat(I too am glad that Ironhide got the head remolding instead as I like the look of Cybertron Ratchet more than ol' Earth BB).
Toxic Oil Slick doesn't look that much different than the normal version...I'm still going to pick one up as I love the mold.
It would have been very cool for Hasbro to have developed a Slipstream figure.

Glad to see Thundercracker come out, Its nice to see a complete set of seekers come out in retail without any drama. Too bad they only do it with Animated Thundercracker. But mark my words, when Money talks, we sure enough will see a classics deluxe, voyager universe, and a masterpiece Thundercracker in retail.

Rodimus is already sold, of course. Same with Thundercracker, though I'm slightly miffed I already bought the FAB version. Wingblade Prime is a probably, but I'll reserve final judgement until I see a gallery and exactly how the new parts interact with the Voyager version.

After further Examination, Blurr does indeed look like he has silver. Specifically the hood/saw weapon, and his chest (of course being a faux hood).
The rest if the lighter areas, I can't really tell if they are just reflections on the black, or if there truly is a lighter silver wash there. I think his up[per thighs may be silver too.
I would have liked a really dark blurr though.

Looking forward to Rodimus...looks very show accurate. On the Prime though, I'm sorry if everyone had talked about it and I missed it, but is he a new mold altogether? Looking at those arms, he looks like Popeye...

Yeah, short lived, but really cool show. Cursor is the best sidekick ever.
Anyway, Wingblade Prime, is part a re-used mold, and part new mold FOR his Add-ons.
He's basically the Deluxe Earth version of Prime, the one that came with Megatron and had the black goo.
He has this thruster pack which we haven't seen full pictures of in alt mode and is supposed to be able to combine with Voyager Prime too.

Fugitive Waspinator - Meh, I was hoping he'd at least get a retool to the head for his underbite. But its a straight repaint. Boring.
Vortex Blurr - Bet they write the bio as him being rebuilt from cubism to appease the Blurr's not dead fandom. -.n Decent. Black recolors aren't nearly as overdone as OMG SILVER VEHICLE lately.
Toxic Oil Slick - Can't even tell what's different, but that's besides the point. If you didn't get Oil Slick before, get him now, the figure is awesome regardless.
Rodimus Minor - Screw that. He shall be Rodimus Prime! Sentinel will get demoted for being such a jerkass! </random babble>

I recall reading that the figure would be a retool of the Battle Begins Optimus Prime, which makes sense since the BB OP has "battle damage" and Wingblade OP gets banged up in his fight with Megatron.

As far As I knew, its the same deluxe mold. Maybe with some slight retooling to accommodate the forearm pieces, and the jetpack. Though if the Jetpack is supposed to be able to attach to voyager Prime, I'd think all the necessary connectors come from the jetpack.
Deluxe Prime
Anyway, I'm pretty sure the Prime is just the Deluxe Mold without the black goo/battle damage.

Wingblade Optimus Prime is a retool of Deluxe The Battle Begins Two-pack Optimus Prime in much the same style as Hydrodrive Bumblebee and Samurai Prowl. This retool is designed to represent Optimus as he appeared in "Endgame, Part I" and "II", and as such has his jetpack, and instead of the character's signature axe, a slightly scaled down version of the Magnus Hammer. In vehicle mode, the Wingblade jetpack folds down to become Optimus' firetruck trailer, but it is currently unknown how the hammer is stored. One can guess that it stores the same way as the two Deluxe Optimus' axes do—in between his legs. His Wingblade jetpack and Magnus Hammer are compatible with the original Voyager Class toy in robot mode, but obviously the vehicles are distinctly different shapes.

And after all that everybody is even more confused. So just to clarify:
The Wingblade Optimus Prime will be in the Voyager class size and Price Point.
However the figure itself will be a Deluxe Prime + The Jetpack/Armor
The extra jet pack is what pushes the figure into Voyager Class.
