God I wish this line had more budget, because the unrestrained imagination is so refreshing. I have no idea what to expect for any of these. Shockwave Dino? Scourge Pirate Ship? Hound Yeti? Toto, I've a feeling we're not in 1986 anymore.

Then Toto turns out to be Wolfang in disguise.
Huzzah! We're in 1996!
The way this line is going, it's probably Depth Charge.
The sheer madness of this line is fascinating. I still don't know if the toys are for me, but I'm glad it exists.
A lot of this line is too kid-focused for my collection (not a complaint at all. After all, as Randy Watson always says, "children are our future"), but there are definitely a few of these that I want. Very excited to see what some of these are. The complete inability to accurately predict what they will be based on the name is half the fun!

While true, this is also the line that's making Megatron a cow, Galvatron a dragon, painting Snarl like a Junkion, and turning Scourge into a pirate
Yeah, but those are wild, outlandish decisions that lean into "rule of fun". This is just "Wheeljack, but he looks like Jazz", which isn't anywhere nearly as out there or fun.While true, this is also the line that's making Megatron a cow, Galvatron a dragon, painting Snarl like a Junkion, and turning Scourge into a pirate
He's even got Jazz's helmet instead of his own recognizably Wheeljack-eared one.
No, but this line doesn't really care about being "correct." There are tons of homages and references to the past, but they are in no way constrained by them. They will make any character only as similar to their previous counterpart as they feel like.
For instance, while Scorponok there is very reminiscent of G1 Scorpy, design-wise, the colors are just whataver the hell they wanted. It would have been just as easy to make him in roughly G1 Scorponok colors, but they just plain didn't because there was no pressure to do so.

Reminds me of Cybertron Downshift. But in Wheeljack colors.
That Insecticon!
