Even better! I have that bumblebee!
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.

speculation seems to be:
So it fits but only if you fold it up a bit.
-ZacWilliam, which feels like it could *just* work.

I'm looking forward to the inevitable arguments about it when he finally drops.
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.

So we can't spin a damaged BB around like a hockey puck or have him sit inside in his robot mode? Hasbro has destroyed my childhood. DESTROYED, I tell you...
What do you mean, Leader-class Astrotrain can't actually fit all of the Decepticons inside with room to spare and enough space to also form Devastator? RUINED FOREVER!
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.
I was gonna say Wheeljack needed to be a leader to really nail the look as good as the first two, but if you can actually shove Bee in there, I'll take it.
Shout out to everybody who thought he wasn't coming.

Also, yeah. Seige not being this was weird, but what can you do.
Part of me would prefer Wheeljack to have just been a Deluxe with an altmode Bee minifigure, but this is nice to have either way.
Tidal Wave looks great, but I'm not able to find and house any more Titans at this point so I'll have to do without.

I like the new head and the weapon being a triple-barreled ancient Chinese hand cannon but I dunno, the mold's not that great and the remaining knight parts clash with the theme.
I'm still gonna be like first in line for this. This looks great.
Year of the Dragon Crimsonflame. He was revealed at the same toyshow and I believe was the silhouette on the first teaser for the event.

If he's reasonably available, like on Pulse or something, I'll go for it, but I wouldn't pay a huge premium for it.
It'll probably come out at the usual places like previous Chinese New Year releases. It's listed at Voyager price and also includes a flight stand.

Apologies. Local retailers listed it as Legacy and I admittedly wasn’t very thorough looking through the threads.
