Don‘t know what I was expecting, but Wheeljack didn’t turn out as…elegant…as I was thinking. I think it’s the big boots he ended up with.

Tidal Wave looks fantastic, in a general sense. My biggest nitpick is that the head feels a little too tall and thin. He’s always had a tall, rectangular head, but it feels the design goes a bit too far here, especially without anything around the base to “even it out”.
That said, the rest looks good, and I’m a bit bemused at the decision to, basically, include “mini Tidal Wave parts” for the Megatron/Galvatron combination.
Speaking of, the combined Armada Galvatron and Tidal Wave should look gorgeous.

The combining parts for Megatron look a bit tinier than I was expecting.

The extra parts execution is an interesting choice, but I'll gladly take it so I can have my cake and eat it too in terms of display options.

Honestly, I feel that all they really done is upscale the original toy on tidalwave for the most part and he feels like they were being lazy, it might be because I have been starring at the Enegron figure for years now as he never gone into storage, but given what they done for Megatron, overall, I think this figure would of been simply better at the commander class size than titan class

I like it. He’ll make a nice foil to Omega Supreme. Better than Devastator or Trypticon at least.

Wheeljack looks like something from Minecraft lol.

Upscaled AND articulated - which is all Tidal Wave needed as far as I'm concerned.

As for 'Jackie, I agree he's not quite as clean as I hoped. It seems like they did a slightly better job with the first two, but I recognize there was way more alt mode to deal with and they did an admirable job over all.

I think it’s more of a towing arrangement. Using the Bee outline they have there, there’s not enough space to fit inside and the opened trunk looks like it corresponds to Bee’s front bumper

Yeah, I don't think physics would allow Wheeljack to be big enough for Origins BB to fit in the back without him being, like, Leader class. This is a pretty acceptable compromise.

Loving Tidal Wave. As others have said, he's basically just upsized and better articulated, but it's really all I wanted.

Tidal Wave is.... a mixed bag?
It looks amazing honestly but a big part of my nostalgia for Tidal Wave is him becoming weapons and armour for Megatron. I don't know if these smaller pieces will hit that same spot for me.

As for Wheeljack... this feels like it should have happened in Siege 😛 Not that the blocky 80s "whatever just draw it" design would have fit with the "battle hardened halfway to Earth modes" look but they specifically used MtMtE ep1 scene1 to describe what the inspiration for Siege was 😆

He looks a bit too blocky but it's probably as close as they could get it at a retail price point and that blockiness will be more than forgiven if he can actually fit Origins Bumblebee in his back.
