Truth be told I wouldn't mind some slightly more inspiring swords to go with him.

This does bring me to a question. TF Prime toys have really only been showing up for a month, and already a head replacement, but a lot of my Beast Wars figures would look excellent with more accurate heads, but 3rd parties have totally avoided Beast Wars upgrades. Why?

If for no other reason than to differentiate him from my Classics Wheeljack, which I replaced with Prime WJ. I LOVE that mold!

To be fair, it looks good, but unnecessary for me and mine.

Overall though, I think this is a good move. While I doubt they'll drive sales, upgrades for Prime will solve a major issue on our end accessing the original toys (unless it's one Hasbro decided to only ship one per case).

I actually do really like the face though and really am considering it.
Are Dr. Wu's products resin or injection molded abs?

Bought. So bought.

But honestly, I'm glad this is out for people that like the maskless look, but to me, without the mask Jackie looks too much like one of the gremlins (on the show too, not a fault with this particular product).
Do NOT refuel Wheeljack after midnight!

AMEN! So THIS ^ !!!
Beast Wars just came along too early (or all these 3rd party companies came along too late) for Beast Wars to get much 3rd party love .
Anyway, back on topic. I think I will get this. It always bothered me that the figure for Jacky had his faceplate on when on the show (so far), you only see it once, and only briefly while most of the time he has a face.
The bomb accessory is neat. It's just like the one he had on his waist during his debut episode, and is the same one that he used for blowing up Makeshift (the shape changing Decepticon who tried to temporarily replace him).

Well, we have third party product that has given G1 figures more accurate heads or weapons. I'd like to see a head and weapons pack for Waspinator, a head and weapon pack for Transmetals Rattrap, I'd buy them in a heart beat too. Give be a nice, show accurate gun for Inferno and a show accurate head. Tell me these wouldn't sell like crazy. All of us Beast Wars kids are now reaching our mid twenties to early thirties, I'm sure they would do well.

IMO all the other "upgrades" they have put out pale in comparison to this. to me, this is a a sure buy and I hope they continue with the direction.

Also his "wings" aren't separated correctly.
I'm used to hasbro pix with mistransformations, but 3rd party? lol
Maybe it helps the face and grenade show up easier in pix somehow.

But the mistransformation and the head swap enhance that aspect.
