New Gallery: Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-23 Exhaust

It's too bad the all the legal craziness makes it unlikely Exhaust will ever appear anywhere else anytime soon, he's got a cool head design I'd like to see done on a (cheaper) Generations or Legends figure.

Those smoke effects are hilarious! Nice touch, Seibertron!

Ha! Great touch with the smoke and the black and white immobilized Wheeljack. Interesting to see that they gave him a face behind his mask, too, just like with Jackie.

Glad you guys all enjoyed the "smoke" effect pics. The pics turned out far better than I had hoped. I like that the Immobilizer can double for a Cybertronian Bong. ;D

Hey and Acidstorm can be smoking buddies!

As far as buddies, I think he has more in common with Smokescreen, even if he's on the other side

That smoke effect and back drop made me envision him as a Con assassin from Sin City.

I imagined Exhuast's first person narrative in Marv's voice about tracking a mark through a dirty, filthy cybertronian slum filled with scum and whore bots. Then he turns on the Immobilizer and everything becomes black and white Sin City style and proceeds to splatter some bot heads. After all is said and done, he disappears into the smoke with an evil laugh. Then Nightbeat shows up on the murder scene in a fedora and trench coat... a deadly game of cat and mouse begins

Be nice if there was a filler for that gigantic hole in his face between his eyes (that's not his mask). The eyes and mouth are cool looking minus that.

Cool pictures. The immobolizer is a cool accessory too. I'm also glad I was able to get in on this figure. It was a fun day getting Exhaust and Star Saber in the mail...

Lovin' masterpieces. Now I still have to put together my classics version of Exhaust (with Auto Assembly exclusive add-ons and stickers from a few years back).

Nice effects Ryan.

They are "unlicensed" sticker sets from China that are extremely official looking stickers, complete with Hasbro packaging and all. If they are official Hasbro Asia stickers, please let me know ... but last I was told they are not official.

This figure has quite the sorted history, what with legal issues and rumors galore of cancellations.

I think you mean "sordid history", not sorted. No biggie, just now you know.

Hopefully whoever wants Exhaust is able to get one, best of luck to everyone, and a big f you to Phillip Morris.
