It is surprising in many ways, the amount of stories, big or small, that do just End, rather than resolve. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
Snow Crash? Kinda. Glad you got through It Cal.
So, what’s next?
While the robot modes look pretty good. Optimus more than Starscream, as he ends looking way to spindly. The Ox and Cart mode just… doesn’t work in my brain. I love the idea of feudal era Transformers. But the execution just doesn’t sell it to me. I mean, they aren’t bad, just not for me...
Outback looks amazing! That‘s more retooling than I expected. Plus the new head looks great. And Wheelie is… unexpected. I wonder if, since this is in the Retro, Hasbro might actually do Wild Boy repaint of tjis.
Also, this might be the first Wheelie figure I ever buy.
Also also, give in to...
I like the fact that this mechawhalewave isn’t just regular bot mode Shocky either. I mean, he’s still recognisably Shockwave, but modified and stylized to fit the new look.

For me, he just looks ‘off’ to me. The gun and shoulder cannon look both chunky and squished at the same time. The tape door looks…um, too big. There’s a lot to like, but .
The birds looks decent, but Ravage to me does not look great. However, perhaps more pictures, when they come, will help.

Roller: Ah… Yeah, about that…
