Carded Image of Unreleased Movie Trilogy Series Wheeljack

im not a fan of the movies but i would've like to have see the trilogy toy line actually see the light of day, would've been a great way to reissue/remold some of the older figures. Would really like to have seen the allspark figures or what ever they were called without the bright blue parts.

Just curious as to how much he paid for it. I know prototypes go for a pretty hefty price tag.

It's an interesting boxed sample that I'm sure most of us wouldn't think twice about because it's a repaint. Let's be honest, though, this probably would have been a shelfwarmer if it ever hit retail.

I am so PISSED we never got Leadfoot!

his head looks like matrix of leadership like to see bot mode for fun

Hmmm....
Looks like a turd.

And you know what? Even if you add sprinkles to a turd it's still a turd.


Let's face it, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who agrees this fig looks horrible. Even if it was given to me for free I'd give it away. Even giving it to charity would be sin!

Ever heard the saying if you have nothing positive to say to keep it to yourself? I am not a huge fan of the movie line myself but this is a great find.

You are entitled to your opinion but do not try to crap on my thread. Appreciate it!

sorry dude, didn't mean to ruin your parade but making an "incredible" find like this looks like a kid finding a penny on the ground. lol, but i see your point, i guess there is a market for movie figures whether it's a prototype or not.

It's not just a prototype, it's an in-package sample of an unreleased/canceled figure, emphasis on unreleased. That fact alone makes it interesting, even more since it reached the packaging sample stage along with Leadfoot.

Then again, it's mostly about what the figure is exactly. All in the eye of the beholder.

There were only 8 known toys planned for this subline:

Deluxe:

• Optimus Prime - w/ trailer, redeco of the Walmart Deluxe DOTM figure, only one released in the U.S.
• Evac - eventually released in the Universal Studios line
• Bumblebee - redeco of DOTM Deluxe Nitro Bumblebee
• Autobot Ratchet - redeco of the DOTM Deluxe figure
• Soundwave - Soundblaster-based redeco of the DOTM Deluxe figure
• Wheeljack - G1-based remold of the DOTM Deluxe figure

Leader

• Ironhide - G1-based redeco of the DOTM Leader figure, released in Canada, and released in Asia in Generations packaging
• Starscream - G1-based redeco of the 2010 Leader figure, released in Canada, and released in Asia in Generations packaging

I plan on taking very detailed pictures at the end of the week.

I still don't have DOTM Leadfoot, Soundwave, or Wheeljack.

Excellent find. I'm going for the original decoes, though.

I also like the original Decoes

Wish I had a DOTM Leadfoot Boxed I missed out on one once went for over $600

Agreed. They at least got that right from the line.

Nope, it's a pretool with a more G1-inspired head. And I would buy it, it's Wheeljack!

Honestly I'd probably impulsively buy one too

Also agreed! As has been said, it's Wheeljack, and I've always thought the pretooled head looked great.
