They need to release a version of this with a button for sound clips so we can hear him say "F@$# you Huffer!"

lol. I love Dr Smoov's impression of Wheeljack!

I am surprised that this has an August release date. They seem to be ahead of schedule with the painted prototype. This is going to be a long 5 month wait.

End of August for online Japanese shops to be exact.

makes sense that they would. they like to release the least anticipated versions first.

back to the figure... i could stare into those blue eyes for hours

Actually, you should think real hard. Where have the KOs for Sideswipe, Red Alert, and Tigertrack been coming from? The larger consensus is that thy are coming directly from the factory. :-B

So Robotmel was making a joke. Even Grimlock could figure that out. :roll:

but without 100% proof you don't know where the KO's come from... so till you have 100% proof for fact, stop blowing noise out your tail pipe.

The point wasn't that I can verify with 100% certainty where the MP KOs are coming from. My point was that Robotmel was making a joke based on that speculation.

Calm yourself.

There will be a Hasbro version?

We don't know if Hasbro will do one; they haven't released any of the (2) licensed cars to date. The next MP on their list is another Grimlock reissue.

Unless I've missed some news, Hasbro will only be releasing Prowl & won't be releasing Sideswipe, right?

We don't even know for sure if they even are releasing Prowl at all or not. It's still in the rumor stage at this point.

Gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed. Sure I'm not going to cancel my pre-order, but this is too far removed from the cartoon deco for my taste. But pretty nice for car enthusiasts I guess.

Sure it looks cool, but I want a cartoon accurate deco.

Take your own advice. And like Megatronus said, calm yourself. I don't care for your attitude and I want it put in check. You can have a discussion without being mean to other people.

Nope. The prototype clearly shows both.

Once you see it in person, you'll probably change your mind DM.

Btw, concerning the other post

where'd that come from?

The production process doesn't work that way. Just because the prototype is finalized doesn't mean they have thousands of these already molded, assembled, painted and packaged.

What are the chances of Hasbro doing the toon accurate version?

Wheeljack had soooooooo many gadgets in the show...

So let the speculation begin. Outside of Megatron and Grimlock every mold has been repainted or has significant chance of being repainted. Who will he be repainted as?

Slicer, of course.

And hopefully a show-accurate "MP-20A Wheeljack Anime Ver." redeco.

Grimlock was repainted. Granted, it was still into Grimlock but the coloration is completely different!

I forgot. Happens when you get to my age.

So a correct Wheeljack and Slicer. Anything else? Lambor got two additional repaints. Prowl...well, let't not go there. WHat I am going to say is that Masterpieces are chosen by the number of repaints they can make, not popularity. Bumblebee can get at LEAST two additional repaints easy...five, more than likely are coming.
