86 Shockwave & Skywarp In-Hand Images of New Transformers - Shockwave Too Short?

We just saw the official Apology Tour reveals yesterday, and the in-hand images are already flowing with look at the 1986 Apology Tour Voyagers Skywarp and Shockwave. There is a lot of purple in Wave 2 and while we knew what was coming with Skywarp based on the Thundercracker release. It is Shockwave that seems to be falling short, literally with a robot mode that is shown to be smaller than 86 Soundwave. So much for scale, check out the images below with compares thanks to @BakudaBaka

Crazy they didn't paint the grey piece 

They claim it's made of plastic that can't be painted.

I like everything about the new Cyclonus, but the exhaust ports at the back.  What an odd choice.  At least the new Cyclonus will not look like he peed down his legs.

While that is true, there are better ways to say that. People do have a right to dislike an item.

And...there it is.  Toxic Positivity.  Far be it for him to give a critique of the state of things.  Just buy all the slop and be grateful you have slop to buy.  Don't expect us to produce quality for your hard earned cash, don't have standards.  The problem is, people will take this advice and then you'll cry when they make nothing because they don't realize why the fan base isn't buying. The only message you send with simply not buying is "this is something you should stop making entirely"

With these recent Hasbro waves it seems like TFs are about dead.  It's just more slight retools and reprints.  Sorry, Blitzing is an awful figure.  If Hasbro is to rationalize that it's okay that the alt modes are crappy because fans only care about the Bot mode then they might as well just made it a double changer and made 1 decent alt mode.  Just keep him as either a tank or jet.  To milk it, just sell both.  At least give us one good alt mode I stead of 2 turds.

So is it an actual tour that I can go to, or a theoretical event that only exists online?

That is NOT Siege Astrotrain. That is an entirely new mold. Siege Astrotrain didn’t have a tail fin. It’s a retool. Not a straight repaint.
