I haven't kept up with them, but there is a grimlock, Rodimus, Skywarp, Starscream, and Megatron. Many of them have just been repaints of Starscream.

Yessir! The MP line...they are doing things in-scale now for the scale nuts out there. Works just fine for me. Sideswipe is PHENOMENAL. Check out the pictures of the next two MPs coming in Sept and Oct. They both have small differences between them (the helmet, horns, waist design) and the designers paid mind to that. You can see that they took what they learned from the Alternators and applied them to this. The shoulder cannons are attached to the robot and fold back under the hood/backpack when in robot form. They are aware that Sunstreaker is another mold, so if and when he hits, he will be faithful to his cartoon design. I can't wait for these guys.

The 3 jets are from the Transformers Prime line. 1 of them was a ToysRUs exclusive, 1 came out over here, and the other came out as a regular release in JPN.
