Torture! I can't wait to see colored pics! Btw, I have a bad feeling that this will not make the end of August release.

Given the size difference between him and MP Frenzy, reenacting his famous use of this weapon in Marvel US#9 will seem kind of mean. But if it actually fires, that's what's happening as soon as he's out of the box.

I've been holding this back for a while but I'm going to say it.
I know they're going for cartoon accuracy but I really did love the double shoulder mounted launchers that the G1 toy had.

I'm sure someone like Dr. Wu or Before & After will fill this need.

You're gonna think I'm crazy, but I'd really like someone to give us the toy head. Even as a kid I thought the cartoon eyes thing was dorky compared to the medieval-knight visor the toy had.

The toy head has no eyes. The mouthpiece is in fact the entire face. Always loved the masked look it gave him

At the point where we're seeing test shots 7 months in advance, I think the August date is for real.
Remember, this was rumored to be for Q2 2014, so I think (hope) the official August release date is already the pushed back, final date.

I'm not saying WJ doesn't have the hand guards, I'm saying the one on MP WJ look nothing like the g1 toon or toy.

This has nothing to do with MP-10.
I'll need to be convinced that WJ's hands are that way because of the transformation. Otherwise it shouldn't have been that hard to match the toon and G1 toy model for the hands and those stupid wrist guards.
They should have just gotten rid of them to begin with in the MP design. He didn't always have them in the g1 animation, it depended on the scene and episode.

Finally missile launches again.
In the pic on the last page, the drawing shows the back of Wheeljack's legs as covered. I really hope that stays that way. One of my peeves of the MP cars is the hollow legs.

His eyes make him look more relatable; optics being the window to the laser core and all.

I really hadn't noticed until now.
Can't get on board with your crusade though, definitely like the eyes.

Yeah, without the eyes, he looks mean.
Like someone who'd nonchalantly beat you into a pulp.
