Lots of good Shockwave in the old Marvel comics. His constant paranoia that Galvatron was going to usurp him, and his logic breakdown when he discovered that Cyclonus and Scourge were destined to kill him in the future were great fun.
As for the Dinobots here, though, consider my childhood memories thrown in the mud and stomped on. Swoop has been my favourite Transformer since reading the Wrath of Guardian story when I was about 8, and he just looks terrible in these new comics, as do the rest of the Dinobots.
