Takara Tomy Transformers MP-20 Wheeljack Amazon.jp Exclusive Anti-hypnosis Device

That amazon exclusive accessory is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
It should come with an "explosion" pice to simulate his stuff exploding in his face.

umm look at the comparison pics, he is 100% exactly as the real world car down to the vent count on the hood.

Seiberton.com's most negative poster having a go at others for being negative?

Of and shame on you DM and your sarcasm.

My work here is done, and so I shall disappear into the night like a phantom

They could have also went with the Immobilizer.

Or the remaining four MP Dinobots, either would be fine I guess.

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.

Masterpiece Wheeljack with Amazon exclusive Slag,Sludge,Snarl and Swoop? That'd get me to Amazon!

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!

They should keep these Amazon exclusives stupid shit nobody wants anyhow...

he should come with his own laboratory

Amateurish attempt at translating:

"Transformers: Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack Amazon.co.jp Limited Special Offer Hyupno-chip counter device (temporarily) 1 with each"

Like JelZe said, they typoed "Hypno-chip" as "Hyupno-chip".

his patented Bat-Anti-Hypnotising Micro-chip Signal Device? I say, old chum.

If you have to declare that you're going to disappear into the night like a phantom, I don't think you've accomplished what you've set out to do (that is, disappearing into the night like a phantom)...

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.

I would have thought the Amazon exclusive for Jack would have been the double Black Shoulder launchers like the g1 toy???

And if they do a yellow-eyed Marvel variant, Amazon could tack on the MP Aerialbots.

Maybe they're saving those for Marlboor Wheeljack?

Site sponsor TFsource just uploaded several new images of recently revealed Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack! Check out the great new prototype images below, they give us good looks at the highly anticipated figure in both modes. Pre-order yours at TFsource by clicking here.

Update: Shogo Hasui has also tweeted an image of the prototype from a slightly different angle. It's been added to the images below.

The TFSource Facebook page has posted five additional images to give us a better and clearer look at the MP-20 Wheeljack prototype. They give us more angles to study this newest Masterpiece in both robot and alt modes. It even shows us Wheeljack with out his weapon in hand. Check out the pictures mirrored below.

OMG, I can't look any more. This what it seems like to be Transformers perfection is blinding me.

I am seriously excited for this figure. So far, it looks awesome.

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

Looks great from the ankles up.

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.

I looked really, really hard and I don't see it... Just looks like a rocket launcher to me?

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.

So nice. I do agree his thighs are looking a little skinny, and somehow he could use a bit more detail, but otherwise... so good. I can't wait!

Hope he comes with his shock blast cannon!

The designer posted a photo, too:

Wheeljack was the 2nd ever tf I owned. It was an Italian GIG diaclone import with the big orange dumbbells. I think I was quite disappointed with his robot mode and he definitely was kept in his car form most of the time. I remember also losing the things on his back and in play, I'd imagine the side thingies on his head light up as he explained his latest crazy contraption to prime.

i said to myself that i will stop buying masterpieces - in fact I haven't since they introduced mp10 prime and skipped rodimus too. I wasn't too enthused with sideswipe etc... but somehow I just ordered smokescreen and well this wheeljack will probably join him as will soundwave and ultra magnus

"Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in."

Pre-ordered from HLJ! I have good experience with them.

But Anime Export is even $8 cheaper. Has anyone ever tried them?

Wow!!! Sure, there are a few minor things...(thighs a bit thin and rocket is a bit too fat at the tip. Don't remember any "knuckle guards" on the hand covers either) but...I DONT CARE. This is freakin awesome lookin!!! Can't wait to see it painted!!! The screw beneath the windshield will doubtlessly be painted and far less visible when finished.

The Amazon extra IS a bit tiny, but it comes from the early, classic Ultimate Doom serial...so I think it's fine....unless of course Slag, Sludge, Swoop and Snarl ARE an option!! =D. The Negavator or the Immobilizer would have been cooler lookin no doubt. Or Maybe a Teletran 1 console.

I love the way the wheels hide in the legs and the body. Transformation seems simple enough. I like.

This is yet another home run for the Masterpiece line. It makes me even sadder that the current designer has left and we are getting the original designer back.

I brought two MP smokescreens from them with no Issues so far. Only difference is you have to pay for it in advance and when it comes in stock they will invoice you for the shipping. Oh and no private warehouse.

I pre-ordered two MP Wheeljack from Anime Export cause I didn't want to wait for HLJ

Haven't used them yet, but what are the shipping charge differences between the two shops?

Well that didn't take long! Just yesterday we reported that Amazon Japan purchases of Takara Tomy's upcoming Transformers Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack would come with an exclusive Anti-hypnosis Device accessory, we now have an image courtesy of the Planet Iacon Facebook page.

For those unfamiliar with this device it was one Wheeljack's many inventions from Sunbow's original Transformers G1 cartoon. This device in particular appeared in the "The Ultimate Doom Part 3" where it was used to counter the effects of Doctor Arkeville's hypno-chips.

Check it out below!

Looks like you could store your sandwiches in there while you go welding.

That accessory looks cool. It really gives Wheeljack a going to fix the ship after a Decepticon attack feeling.

And I'm happy that I just got my two preorders in at hlj, like a boss.

And suddenly I want it.

It was an attempt at referencing a show I just recently got back into. And yes that's the joke behind that line XD


Oh yea, pre-ordered this babe just now over hlj, I can still get that little part later, just like all the other amazon extras.

There are the essential accessories like: the characters' signature guns, shoulder weapons and Prime's trailer.

There are the "must-have" accessories like: the "Megatron" gun, the energy axe, the pile drivers and Red's sensory sparks.

I don't think this device is either. But I appreciate those kind of references though!

Influence wrote:Haven't used them yet, but what are the shipping charge differences between the two shops?

I found this chart if it helps: http://www.anime-export.com/page/faq#qq60
And checked their Smokescreen page for a weight reference.
It says: Packed Weight: 610 grams (1.34 Pound) • Weight: 270 grams (0.59 Pound). (And thanks Mooncake!)

Those anime export prices aint bad!

I normally end up ordering a bundle (I've got G2 Sideswipe, Jackie, and Bee on one order) of MPs from RK, since they throw in the coin and the Amazon jp exclusives.

Well its no negavator but still pretty cool. I do hope they add Chip Chase.

its stupid to put this thingy as an exclusive, since it was seen only once. that lunchbox is just a piece of plastic...

Hero Alpha wrote:I do hope they add Chip Chase.

keep hoping. we got a green/gray, blue, white and black versions of doc arkeville, and a lime-green pilot for acidstorm.
we got nothing with the cars.

I would love to have chip, but it would be to good to be true.

Oh hellz yes he looks like he is carrying a toolbox

Jackie's first day at mechanic's school!

Getting better and better. Pre ordered at hobbysearch..........still available.

I can't say I'm interested in Wheeljack's clutchpurse.
