He's clothelining pedestrians and has to siddle through door frames sideways, but there's no such thing as too much shoulderpad.
The new one is probably a better figure from the look of it, but I'm sad it looses a lot of the little detail in the original that was designed to look like a long captain's coat with epaulettes and tails. The "pirate captain" design touches were stronger there.
-ZacWilliam, but the original was garbage in beast mode so I'll take the trade off if this one's better.

It's this one.
Yeah, seeing it side-by-side, the loss of the gold shoulder claw bits is really unfortunate.
Thank you. I already posted it here and am too lazy to move it. I'll pretend I'm leaving it here on purpose to drive people to the other thread.
Tidalwave has finally appeared, also, pre-earth Jacky finally getting a toy:

Cybertron Fest 2023 Coverage – Legacy United Titan TIDAL WAVE & Origin Wheeljack Revealed + More!
Just in from Cybertron Fest 2023 at Singapore Comic Con 2023 (via Ben Custom Toys, Toy Scope, and Baidu) is our first look at the highly-anticipated Legacy United Titan Tidal Wave and Origin Wheeljack! Both are looking very accurate to their OG designs and are shown off here in their various...

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.

I'm kinda bummed they don't turn into a mini-Tidal Wave.
Mini Tidal Wave would be too much fun. I would throw the big one back in the box and forget that it exists.
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.

Pre-Earth wheeljack is ugly as hug in all the right ways, I love it.
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.
It's what he would've wanted.
Can we fit pre-Earth Bumblebee inside Wheeljack's vehicle mode?
It appears he might? Someone posted a blurry pic of the back of the box that shows his roof opens up so you can put 'Bee in... but now I can't find it.
edit: Here we go, Unicron.com posted it.
