Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack Design Sketches

does the missile launcher double to be the hypno ray device? They both look similar shape and size.

Really hope they make a toon-accurate redeco later on since I really don't care for the real life car-accurate deco, but the mold itself looks fantastic.

August cannot come soon enough.

Nope!


This deco is based on the real life Lancia Stratos instead of Wheeljack's cartoon colors.

There will be a Hasbro version?

We don't know if Hasbro will do one; they haven't released any of the (2) licensed cars to date. The next MP on their list is another Grimlock reissue.

At any rate, this deco doesn't look bad at all. Especially considering the original toy.

I think Prime is the only MP not to have tinted windows... I guess they're trying to hide their holo-drivers

Looks great! Looking at the photos I can almost hear Chris Latta's voice.

The windshield are consistent with the other Autobot cars.

It appears that the "wings" are made from clear plastic as a homage to the G1 toy.

The black is all dandy with me. I can even tolerate some of the excessive green.

My problem is with the bit of the hood still under windshield in bot mode. That is the biggest let down for me.

They need to release a version of this with a button for sound clips so we can hear him say "F@$# you Huffer!"

lol. I love Dr Smoov's impression of Wheeljack!


I am surprised that this has an August release date. They seem to be ahead of schedule with the painted prototype. This is going to be a long 5 month wait.
