The Zaku head tank is far superior to the tank the show came up with, though the resulting robot a very generic robot as far as BM went.
It's a shame that design wasn't in the show, because that transformation was made to be animated. It wouldn't need to be broken up into steps. It could all happen at once. It's so smooth.
Someone has Shockwave I guess:

I'm torn on that Shockwave. I already have the Combiner Wars version of "Micro-wave", which is all I ever wanted of a tiny Shockwave, but I do love tiny spaceships.
I'll probably hold off and hope that they put out a Shackwave repaint.
It's adorable how it's a Mini-me of Stege Shockwave.
Possible Legacy Ransack. I’d personally like a remold of waspinator for the character.

Possible Legacy Ransack Revealed
Coming from Stories From the Toyshelf facebook page we may have our first possible look at Legacy Ransack. Ransack is a repaint of Kickback with a new headsculpt. Take as a rumor until we get an official announcement. This figure is rumored to be a Target exclusive in a four pack with Goldbug...

He looks fine, but for some reason I expected more new tooling

Already one Waspinator mold in that set, they don't need another.
What is this set?
Random character selection Buzzworth Bumblebwe set for Target. Like the Fangry one from last year.
Wich sucks because I really want Ransack and Goldbug and couldn’t really care about the other two.
-ZacWilliam, I really want the other Deluxe Insecticons. Especially Venom who doesn’t even have a third party version like the others do. And I know I mention it a lot but Beet Papil too please?
I really hope they give us a new Venom and the rest of the deluxe Insecticons. Long overdue...
Eh it's not bad, just not something I'd buy three toys I don't particularly care about for. Like, at reatail, I'd totally get the deluxe insecticons over the show guys. A remolded chest would have helped differentiate it from Kickback better too.
So, in regards to Black Convoy's color scheme... And the Show vs Toy colors... And this whole conspiracy of them intentionally doing this to sell you proper colors later... I'm think there might be a much simpler reason for why Black Convoy's robot mode isn't in Show colors; To make him stand out more from Legacy Optimus Prime, whose robot mode is already very grey/silver, with a black cab and legs. Releasing Black Convoy in proper RID Scourge colors would make him look VERY similar to the Legacy Optimus. Maybe it's just as simple as trying to make the two look as visually distinct as possible. It could still mean we might get Scourge later on (He's not an original mold like Soundwave was) and they might be able to get away with it becuase he will look mostly different.
My son was going through a stack of old comics and I saw my old G2 issue#1. Upon rereading it, I realized how badly I want a figure of this guy:
No name or Robot Mode is ever given as he immediately gets crushed by Grimlock, but man, that vehicle mode is one of the most 90's "extreme" things ever. Just spikes and missiles and flames everywhere.

Funny enough the only iteration of that mold I own is Bigmos.
Dammit, I don't want to dig him out of my plastic containers now.
ALSO VERY COOL OF HASBRO releasing Ransack, now that I've started the process of repainting my Legacy Kickback into Ransack.
...any other colorschemes I should do? Shothole, perhaps?
He looks like a member of a proto-DJD
Now Road Hauler. Cool looking figure. I kinda wanna see a Energon (or was it Cybertron) Mudflap from that mold.
