I just want to put the idea out there hoping someone with the resources will run with it:

A sticker set to upgrade Generations Wheeljack into Diaclone Malboro Wheeljack.

I know TFCon did a very limited custom class set with a new head. (Or was it Auto Assembly ?) I dont care so much about the new head, but is there anybody with an unused label sheet from the custom class that wants to share it with the rest of the world ?

I understand Reprolabels doesnt want to touch this because they think it would be promoting smoking to minors. Even though most of Reprolabels customers are adults. Find me one kid who could apply the Hercules Heavy Labor set or Fansproject Explorer set without ripping out his hair. Whatever Reprolabels...

Anyways, are there any customizers who can design a new set (or KO the custom class one) and sell it to the masses ?

The sticker set provided was apparently just a reprint of the Diaclone Marlboor sticker set, so not designed to actually fit the contours etc of the new Wheeljack mould. For my Marlboor, I am actually going to use some Scaelextric decals which I bought off eBay - I can live with the 'proper' spelling

Hmmm, interesting tidbit about the stickers for the set.

I'd actually really like an upgrade kit with new noggin and all.

Given the one that just came out homaging the custom class Longarm/Shockwave, I can see this as a possibility.

You all missed the Auto Assembly Marlboor upgrade kit for this year somehow then. It's for the Generations mold of course and requires some paint. The kit came with painted or unpainted heads and an uncut sticker sheet. There were other slight variations of the kit too. Waiting on mine to arrive.

RatedX mentions that class in his original post. I think what he is looking for is some reprolabels style sheets, and maybe a Dr Wu/Renderform head.

I didn't miss it, I was there. The creators of the kit told me in person that they had just repro'd the original Diaclone sheets, and not designed new stickers to specifically go with the new Wheeljack mould. The head is nice though, and the tutorial was a blast

Botcon would do well in releasing a Diaclone / Microman set one year. I know we have some guys from Shattered Glass, but it'd be cool to have more.

That and a GoBots set.

Yeah thats what I meant. But I was under the assumption that the stickers were custom made to apply with ease to Generations Wheeljack. If it's just the old Diaclone sheet, then we might as well just print it at home on label sheet, spray gloss, and cut it out ourselves ? Anybody got a scan of the label sheet they could post up ?
