In-Hand Images - Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack

I guess since they spent the paint budget on the red and green, there was no money left for white? Not overly fond of the unpainted white plastic, but it's a minor issue for me. Otherwise, this is an amazing figure.

i like what i see

*slow clap*

Wow. Next week is gonna be fun.

he's glorious!

He looks so good. The paint job looks great. I was a little worried about how clean the lines would be but those fears have been put to rest. I can't wait!

More in-hand pix on this Instagram page.



And here's a mistransformed pic from Takara's Twitter:

Thanks to a tip from fellow Seibertron.com user Cyberpath, we have a different set of in-hand images of Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack, via Instagram user Transformers46! We've mirrored a handful below for your viewing, and more can be found here including dynamic poses, size comparisons and more.

Wheeljack? skinny legs, and too small head maybe is missing some fat on his body... I find Smokescreen the most accurate MP till now.

Oh, you sexy beast. How I love thee...

Wheeljack looks great as a Masterpiece, very nice indeed!
I will be waiting for a trusted supplier via Ebay for this chap, but not too long of course, as we have seen how fast these MPs are getting knocked off.
Original is always best, where possible.

Don't buy from Toyspark if you are worried about the paintjob, he doesn't take returns whatever the condition of the toy. I bought several of his items without problems, but then i bought the MP Buzzsaw with Frenzy (or is it Rumble?) and it had paint issues and he refused to take a return although he does offer it. eBay and Paypal were no help at all.

If you know someone trustworthy to buy from please let me know.

Damn. That heel gap.

It looks so f***ing glaring.

The heel gap is there in some pics and not in others. Looks like there's an extra panel in there that covers up the gap pretty nicely.

MP Wheeljack has been the masterpiece figure I've been waiting for the most this year and looks like he won't disappoint. He'll be out just in time for my Birthday too

In a fun bit of Friday trivia for all of you Seibertronians out there, we learned this morning that the just-released Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack has a secret behind his face shield. Thanks to Weibo user ZEUX1S, we get to see that Wheeljack has an actual face behind his mask. Those clever designers at Takara are definitely having fun with the Masterpiece line. Check out the pictures below.

Um... Well, that's unexpected. Especially the mustache.

Just like MP-1 Convoy. Cool!

Now I'm curious are MP-13 Soundwave, if there's anything behind his mouthplate.

Yikes!

Glad this was never a part of the cartoon, where Wheeljack's familiar and likeable face was his "actual" face.

Kind of reminds me of the guy that the Robo-Smasher subverted in The Secret of Omega Supreme.

thats pretty cool

The face under the mask looks like Animated Wheeljack.

Clever...

Cannot unsee!!

That's pretty neat though.

I can just see the G1 voice coming out of that face. Maybe the goatee does it?

I wonder if the intention was a welding mask

An Animated homage! YES!

Haha..I love it.

Kinda thought that it could be a reference to Q from DOTM ... But whatever I think easter egg is really cool!

MIND BLOWN. That is awesome! Too bad you gotta take his head apart to see it. But cool nonetheless. I also wonder about Soundwave now... Man, Takara is really doing wonders with MPs these days.

It's cool to see how much Takara has been stepping it up. The MP line is going strong!

Now how about some more G1 Decepticons?

Wheeljack have a glorious mustache!

Some may whine, but I love that new trope that every transformers have a face, covered by a mask or not. This make them more alive.

I wonder... what face would be behind THIS mask?

This makes me want MP Wheeljack even more!

Now Wheeljack joins Optimus in the "Secretly had a mouth but we never knew about it until later" club.

Interesting little feature, there. I hope BBTS gets him in soon!

Nobody knew who he was until he put on the mask...

This release just keeps getting better!

I like it a lot but I don't need to see a face behind every face plate.

Arent you just a wee bit curious?

To actually mold an actual facial feature? That IS going an extra mile! And yet accessible only if you disassemble him..........that void's Wreck-gar's warranty alright

Megatron=check
Seekers=check
Cassettes=check
Soundwave=check
Exhaust=check

Next in line? G1 season 1......Redesigned Megatron, Reflector, Shockwave, Insecticons, Coneheads, Dezaras?

Now that the cat's out of the bag, do you think Exhaust will also sport a hidden face?

foreal! and who would complain about this? it requires disassembly to even see. s'not like its just going to loosely fall off and leave him exposed

Here's a video review of MP-20 Wheeljack

http://youtu.be/ZuRT2GWJiO8

I'm not crazy about making every bot with a faceplate have a "real" face underneath -- or rather the implication that there's a certain "normal" for Transformers and anything that doesn't fit NEEDS an explanation -- but this is fun! A neat little hidden detail and an Animated homage. A shame, though, about the giant hole in his head...

Thanks to atip fromfellow Seibertron.com user mesh, we get a look at an early review of Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack! Find out more about the scientist with a beard beneath the mask, and his Lancia Stratos alt-mode, in the embedded clip below.

I think it's a big stretch to call the face an Animated homage. I don't think the two look similar in the least.
