That's good timing, I've been playing with this set for the last hour. I'll stick up some pictures.

It's a nice set. I don't think I have any of the molds already so it's all new to me. Nice stuff, despite my early trepidation over the amount of/colour of translucent plastic. The only thing that's slightly off to me is the extra pink on Cyclonus arms when standing next to the other 2 as their forearms are covered. Scourge and Sweep are slightly different colours on both the clear and solid plastic, there's also some finishing touches on the outside in alt mode. Cyclonus only has a solid pink gun, Scourge and Sweep have the same 2 part gun (possibly in slightly different tinges as with their own colours) that I suppose replicates the Targetmaster when put together. Here's a few pictures with some details: Box is standard Platinum stuff.  Inside. 'Are we making ourselves clear?'  The 3 faces of evil. Don't know why Scourge is out of focus.    Light piping works well even against all the see through.  Leader of the pack who came with his very own Stress Mark tattoo straight out of the box. It's on a part not involved in the transformation so it's happened at build. It's also on top of the alt mode so it's visible all the time.   Guns don't kill Autobots, Decepticons do. Cyclonus:  Scourge and Sweep.      We are family, I got my Armada with me.  |

Lovely pics, thanks. They do look very nice.
Disappointing that at a premium price point, that Cyclonus mould no longer includes the Targetmaster companion each previous version of the mould has had.

Yeah, doesn't clip on to anything, just plugs into the top of Cyclonus. Don't know if this was a feature on the original mold but Scourge and Sweep guns stowaway in their wings, they flip open and each wing has a designated space for a specific half of the gun. |

It's worth it, probably not worth full price of you've got any of the molds already. Kapow had the pre-orders at £45 so as long as it doesn't sell out I can see it hitting that again in the future.

I did not realise they were re-releasing THS-02 Prime. Now that's interesting. I won't bother, since I have the original. But that's more interesting than a lot of things they've re-released of late. Just as well it's not in wacky colours or I might have been tempted.
And that Unicron does look nice, but I'm still not getting it. I don't need to spend several hundred pounds (I'm guessing, but we're living in a post-Brexit, Trump world) on a mold I already have...

I did not realise they were re-releasing THS-02 Prime. Nobody knew till this morning when it was spotted on shelf! |

Not really interested, but nice to see that we can still be surprised with stuff when it arrives on the shelf.
