Cherubim are the only angelic beings mentioned as having four and six wings, four faces each, with eyes covering their entire bodies, with whirling wheels that contain the spirits of each of the four cherubim, as well as several other features.
The cherubim are apparently a different kind, type or rank of heavenly beings. These are the ones that are flying and crying out to one another saying:
"Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty, who is and who was and who is to come."

I didn't notice any such scriptures, why don't you point them out for us?
If we are given no other references to the appearance of cherubim, why would we conclude they all look the same. That is merely assumption.
I believe the highest order of angels are cherubim, as Lucifer was a governing agent before his fall because of evil. Ezekiel 28:14 "Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire." Mountain being prophetic of government.
If they are the highest order of angels, that would make Michael and Gabriel cherubim also. Gabriel appeared as human in appearance couple of times (see Dan. 9:21 and Luke 1:26, 29).

Actually, some are mentioned as having four wings, while others have six. Those mentioned in Ezekiel and Revelation have eyes covering their entire bodies. These are clearly different from Archangels and other types of angels. These particular ones are mentioned as being four in number.
Neither Michael nor Gabriel, or others are mentioned with the characteristics of those referred to as cherubim, seraphim and as living beings. They are obviously a different type or rank of heavenly beings.
However, this subject is nothing to become upset about, as it is just the description of heavenly beings.

Everything in God's word is profitable, because it is the word of God. He wrote these things for us to known.
Just fyi, neither Michael nor Gabriel are described as having wings, eyes, nor having wheels intersecting wheels where their spirits dwell. My point is that, these "living beings" are a different type of heavenly being then other heavenly beings and are mentioned as being four in number. These are also the ones associated with the opening of the first four seals.
