It was always so weird that they modeled that toy's head and deco off of G1 Skids despite the obvious homage in the rest of the body.

Yeah, it is a campaign item. A yellow recolor of his sword, "Rexcalibur (Special Color ver.)". Available with early preorders of the figure:

He plants his hammer in his enemy's face! :p

"It says, 'If you can read this, you are too close.'"

Totes jelly. (the young'uns still say that these days, right?)

Wild King is getting a sequel line. Transformers: Wild King W (that's "W" pronounced "Double", like with Kamen Rider W). A whole bunch of new toys featuring new molds and redecos of previous molds. https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/3003770/ WKWM-01 Energy Master Rexblade WKWB-01 Energy Beast...

Now the question remains if this really is Shockblast resurrected or if this is a new "UT Shockwave".

It has been done before, too, even:

Yes, it was. Well, Ratchet's sled, anyway. ;) And technically, Ironhide's was kept inside his vehicle mode when he had Bumblebee use his sled's cannon in Episode 2:

One could call it an "Aaron Archer era" thing.

But why did they name him "Soundwave" of all things? It would have been understandible if they named him "Shockwave" since "Shockblast" was just a trademark-friendly stand-in for "Shockwave" at the time, and Shockblast's Japanese name was "Laserwave", the same Japanese name as G1 Shockwave, and...

Well, the Core class Shockwave mold might not be able to fit inside it anyway, which would defeat the point of including it.

Instead of a Hot Rod redeco, Nemesis Star Convoy comes with a redeco of Core class Shockwave in the colors of Energon Shockblast, but named... "Soundwave"? Huh?!!

The... The drone-style robot mode is named "Respect Mode". :ROFLMAO:

I did say "robot mode".

The red one's robot mode reminds me of Sideswipe, while the blue one's robot mode reminds me of Alternators Mirage.

Like Ricochet, there is no comic included in the instructions, but he does have some story content in both his packaging blurb and toy bio:

My Yolopark Decepticon Avatar Megatron just arrived in the mail from Agabyss, and now I have him in-hand.

That's why people are suspecting that the forthcoming "Unicron Soldier" toy might be made from this mold.

I feel like the original plan was to treat those toys as living robot characters all along, since the Microman Micro Change toys were scooped up by Hasbro at the same time as the Diaclone Car Robot toys, and the Micro Change toys don't look like piloted mechs like the Car Robots do.
