I'm very tempted as a one off, you know. It's very hard to resist a Shockwave.

I'm still trying to work out what that alt-mode is supposed to be. The closest I can envisage is that it is some sort of Cybertronian equivalent of a large antiaircraft gun - (88mm Flugabweherkanone) or artillery piece (like the US M1 "Long Tom"). Which I guess would be fairly appropriate in either case.

I just thought it was a mobile gun emplacement.

I think in terms of design flair, the Beast Hunters one is the best of the two. Although I note from these newer pics that the gun arm does fold in a bit on the new one so it isn't quite as unwieldy looking as in those first photos.

The had being pushed so far back makes this Shockwave look like he has a giant mono-boob.

Agreed. Well, about the head being pushed back at any rate. I think these pictures are hiding that.
But then the head is well back from the chest on the original too.

That Sunstreaker's not too bad, as a concept. What I do find offputting is how that unbroken yellow just looks cheap, as does the lack of wrist articulation. I'm also slightly put off by the possible amount of clear plastic used in this. Whilst I'm generally a fan of clear windows over opaque ones, I don't like the fact that rather than clear sections, these days whole chunks of the robot are made out of clear plastic - including hinges and joints. And that just puts the fear in me. I'll be waiting for reductions on this one, I think...

I can't figure out what's going on with those shoulder pad. Nothing about them matches up with the car, and they look too big to not be part of the car.
Current theory I'm putting up to Phil Review is that they're the front end, and what we're seeing makes up the underside of the front end. I also think the front wheels are embedded in his biceps, but due to colors and angle, we can't see them in this picture.

Hmm. I thought the "bumper" were his feet, but you're right. So much bright yellow plastic washes out all the detailing in these pictures.

Also, i thought the wheels were yellow with the hubs painted black, but that's not it at all!

He's a bit chunky on the back, but he's okay.
If you squint.
Or put a bag over your head.
Or his head.
It'll be fine.

Holy fucking shit, RotB Wheeljack is a bloody nightmare!
Unless you are a Studio or RotB completionist, I seriously do not recommend! The "mainline" deluxe is so much better. A way more fun toy to transform.
This very much seems like it would have benefited from being a small voyager.
