I love Wheeljack! Who doesn't? But the Combiner Wars toy really left me feeling, meh.

Has/Tak did such a great job re-tooling the Lambo mold to be Jack. After a close inspection, I'd say at least 85% of his surfaces were re-sculpted. Which probably ate up all of the paint budget.

But have no fear, Some intricate taping and cutting, a quick spray, and Wheeljack can really shine!

Oh how I love peeling tape! :x
It's like Christmas morning.

The spray coating makes a world of difference. I still don't really like this look of the figure, but you made it appealing to the point where I'd consider giving hi a glance. Good job.

Thanks Slasher! :D
They really did do a good job of re-tooling the figure to be Wheeljack. They just dropped the ball on the paint.

Great job with spray and masking, that extra bit of black's just what the doctor ordered for this figure.
