I don't recall this mentioned on this forum before, but we have good pictures and official names for these guys now. Shadow, Ultra Warp and Thunder.
After getting Flame and Screamer, I can't say the gun modes were very good, but the robot modes work as Legends. Might be the fastest and easiest way to get all four as Legends sadly.
I'm conflicted if I want the Skywarp pack.

Argh, the split on those makes me a sad fanboy. Would have been nice to get repaints of all four rather than one guy from each set done twice.
...Was actually hoping for "black repaint" versions of all four so they'd be more like G1 TMs. All four characters have precedent for that too.

Nuts. I may have to get that Ultra for my Magnus shelf.
Crap.
Crap.
I want Screamer and the Warp pack now. Still want Megs and Prime too...

Don't worry next we'll get Crystal and Dark Hot Rod and Classics and Black Megatron.
The Prime mold is the best of the targetroids, imo, in that it's only one I think really feels like it transforms from a robot into a gun. The Megatron mold is a close second. The Shadow and Ultra deco above look really nice. The solid more uniform colors definitely make them look more like a gun than Prime, especially the Shadow deco.
The Starscream mold is one of the weaker targetroids, but the black/blue deco on Warp and Cracker make them look more like actual guns too rather than a seeker folded up. The Rodimus mold has a fantastic bot mode. Actually, all the molds have fantastic suprisingly articulated bot modes, and the QC on the first wave is quite good too. But the Rodimus gun mode is weak because they didn't know what to do with the legs, and the back of the gun is way too wide and fat.
Some quick pics I had for size comparison:

I might be interested in Nemesis because I'm a fan of Evil Black Recolors, but not interested enough to buy a two-pack.
Although I'm picturing Magnus and Nemesis talking to Prime as his shoulder angel and devil.

Well, the repaint wave was just accounced as a convention exclusive at double price. Sad, I wanted them but not that much.
