I’m just disappointed that his robot head is so normal. And that it has a faceplate, rendering his lollipop accessory useless.
Hmm, I wouldn’t necessarily call its robot head “normal”.
I think it has the requisite amount of detailing that makes it thematically consistent with the alt mode, like the little exhaust pipes for ears, so that’s really nice. It’s also got a head chevron (which resembles the top of the Decepticon symbol, so I kinda get why people think they should be a Decepticon or something. In my head canon they’re a reformed ‘Con, lol). Also the visor and detailed face mask make it look appropriately badass as well IMO.
So, does Bone Daddy Shaker have any place to keep the gearstick thing in vehicle mode that doesn't look like a cross between the world's second-biggest antenna topper and a Tesla coil?
That’s the one big drawback in that it does NOT.

Also the storage is super loose, as in breathe on it wrong and it flies off.
It also doesn’t store anywhere in robot mode so just has to be held.
