The head sculpt, forearms, and shins look good so far. Bicep/shoulders, ankles, and waist are not looking so hot from this angle. But I am holding out for more details.

Wow, lots of stuff I'm not liking with this...
Wings are too skinny (I want my Wheeljack with large wings). Thighs too skinny. Hips too skinny.
Those panels (wrist guards?) that stickout at the hands are in the wrong place, and probably should be fused to the forearms instead of the hands...
His feet look really hollowed out in the back.
Its funny, I thought he would be one of the easier cars to pull off?

Looks OK to me:
And just for kicks!
Remember, a lot of people had problems with the width of MP Sideswipe's chest relative to the animation model. When all's said and done, I think Wheeljack will be an excellent addition to the MP lineup.

Masterpiece MP -20 Wheeljack Image Sighted

Shoulder-Mounted Mega-Blast Missile Cannons
Over at TagHobby.com we've spotted a listing for a pre-order on Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack, showing a release date of August 23, 2014.
This is the first look we have had of the figure, other than the teaser silhouette shown previously. The image is a bit rough, but it gives a pretty clear indication of what the figure will look like. The pre-order price is 6,500 yen, and hopefully this will be just the beginning of more detailed pics we will start seeing.

OK, fine. More talk.
