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...

Now this looks good!
Other than Prime, this is probably the one Missing Link figure I want. Well, this and any hypothetical Powered Convoy repaint in the future.

Relics indeed.
That’s the worst part really. While Studio Series dips into the WFC/FOC and Devastation designs. Those four figures will likely be all we ever see. Rise/Reactivate certainly had a lot of potential.
I mean, unless the do see the potential of delving into the concepts, like the Hearts of Steel...
