Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack from Takara Tomy

Is this really the most iconic Wheeljack accessory? How about those energon conductors from the first episode? The immobilizer? Maybe even that rocket launcher that blew up in his face in one episode. I don't even remember this thing

Sloppy, the Japanese has a typo: It's supposed to be ヒプノチップ (hipunochippu) or Hypno-chip, not ヒュプノテップ (hyupunoteppu), which is just nonsense.

To be fair he may already come with one of those in package, much like Sideswipe included a set of pile drivers. His amazon exclusive simply added a second, different, pair. I don't think we have enough info to know yet.
Here's hoping!

That was my thinking as well. He may already come with a Wheeljack-specific accessory, and this is just icing on the cake. Weak icing, but icing nonetheless.hinomars19 wrote:To be fair he may already come with one of those in package, much like Sideswipe included a set of pile drivers.

That head sculpt is to die for. The bot mode looks OK, but I think it will improve with color.

I feel like there's something about this one that takes it a good notch or 2 down from MP-10 through 19... I'm not quite sure what though.

I hope that split in the roof is due to mirror casting for the prototype and the final mold is one piece. Also, am I the only one that feels that the shoulder rocket is a little to, um, phallic? Or is it a tampon launcher now? Either, way it doesn't look right/appropriate.

Looks pretty sweet. I love the head sculpt but i'm really excited for that car mode and some colour photos.
I hope for a pristine Takara paint job on this release. A real primo spare no expense type of paint job.
Wheeljack has my favourite alt mode of all the car formers......ever.

Re: Official Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack Discussion
I think once the painted design is on the roof, the split will be less noticeable.
I would like them to simplify his hand guards to be more like the g1 toy and also g1 animation.
I hope the wings are the clear smokey gray just like the G1 toy!!!!!!
Shoulder cannon is g1 accurate...so its all good!

Might I suggest something a tad more attainable which would also provide enhanced MP interaction and display possibilities: the reformatted brain module he developed for Grimlock?

Car mode is pure sex, coz the lancia stratos all beefed up just is.
Robot mode is okay. Couple things right, couple things eh... like those thighs being super thin. I'll take the Generations robot mode over this, even if it ain't as G1.
