One of my bigger complaints about the recently re-released DotM Shockwave is that it's so DULL, you can barely tell it has any purple at all. I also figured I could do a slightly better job on the Brains and Wheelie minifigures. (The paratrooper isn't worth saving.)

The new molds look like they're trying to make more like Scorponok, where they sort of have individual altmodes. Like, not only does it look like an entire Snarl has his head rammed up the cloaca of an entire Grimlock, Slipstream has her own wings which make her look like a plausible jet on her...
