Looks great! Wheeljack really deserved a Masterpiece as his G1 toy had very poor resemblance to the cartoon

The figure looks great! I think this is the first new figure from the old designer.

My boy Wheeljack the rebel is still looking alright, actually looking Great. First thing I saw that stood out in car mode was the almost panoramic like windshield and side windows, that looks nice. But what's up with the pronounced sunk in grilll part, is that aerodynamic. This mold almost looks to good and I really don't remember giving praise to a prototype like that before.

TAKARA SHOULD MAKE ALL OF THESE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE MP SPORTS CARS AT LEAST SMALL LEADER SIZE AND BIGGER. They would make a fortune.

Leader size Wheeljack, imo. But overall, I am happy with this design.

Oh, I just hope he is at least the same size as mp prowl or bigger NOT, NOT smaller.

I have to disagree with you there.. his flashi g ear thingys were an integral part of the character on the show and if they can easily work it into the design without charging an extra £20 id be all for it. Its probably worth £5 or maybe even £10 to me

I also hope he is not smaller than MP Prowl but realistically he will be tthe same size.

That alt mode... Just so perfect.

I almost don't care if he will be decked out in proper G1 toy 'Alitalla' colors or if he will be in the simpler colors like in the animation. Although official Alitalia sponsoring would be icing on the cake.

Does anybodybelse see the potential for a HEAVY retool into Sunstreaker using the same basic Transformation as a base?

Still by the current designer. He confirmed that on Twitter.

Can't wait to see the colours!

God, I love these car masterpiece autobots. Are there any plans for US distribution?

by **RiddlerJ** » Fri Jan 10, 2014 8:25 am

I wonder if any of his inventions will be included.

Beautiful. The Lancia Stratos is genuinely one of the most beautiful cars out there. I'm wishing they hadn't shown the toy so soon. Waiting until the end of the year for this will be painful (We all know this will be delayed by several months as usual). I guess Bumblebee is next?

Will the repaint be the rare 'Marlboor' version?

SWEET!! I was waiting for this so i can cancel my BBTS pre-order and order from a Japanese site =X hehe

that looks great

Is this one based on a licensed car, like the other Autobot car MPs? In other words, is this going to be Japan-only as well? I was hoping there'd be at least one Autobot car that Hasbro could release in the U.S.

by **EagleTron** » Fri Jan 10, 2014 10:54 am

Wow, I'm still trying to pick up my jaw from the floor. That robot mode though.
:DANCE:

Why was my post merged with this one? I reported the pic and my post gets eliminated? How is that fair?

Sabrblade, you have indeed made my morning. Your timing was excellent.

I'm liking how he looks so far. I'm sure I'll be liking it more as the paint details get added. I think I'm most curious to see whether they make the wings clear or whether they are going to go with paint app on them. I would assume clear but in this day and age, even with it being an MP it not really safe to "assume" anything. I'll just hope for the best but expect the worst. It will still kick butt either way and I'll gladly snag one regardless.
