Nice to see there's an online retailer that doesn't automatically rape your wallet on a new pre-order item.

They just rape your wallet on shipping.

Indeed that's the truth! That's why I haven't shopped with them for over a year. It's not their fault though I think HK post is just generally much more expensive than JP post and it went up. I put the same things in cart at Ehobbybase shop they pretty much charge the same rates.

Robotkingdom is bullshit there charding me 26 dollars for ups Shipping when they are clearly Shipping from hong komg.

Fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath found an update from Hasui's Twitter, revealing how Masterpiece Wheeljack's weapon will stow away in vehicle mode. Unlike previous releases, Wheeljack's weapon integrates into his vehicle mode as seen below:

MP-20ホイルジャックのビークルモード後部の画像です。変形方法が、いくらか見えてきましたかね？ 写真では分かりづらいですが、手持ち銃であるハンドガンをエグゾーストパイプのように取り付けることができます。

Google translate:

This is a picture of the rear of the vehicle mode MP-20 Wheeljack. Deformation method, I guess we have seen some? It is hard to understand with the photograph, it can be installed as exhaust pipe a handgun is a hand-held gun.

Masterpiece Wheeljack is listed as an August release, until then, pictures will have to keep us going.

do the updated masterpieces feature rubber or plastic tyres?

Well that's one thing this guy has done right! The only thing I don't like about Sideswipe and Prowl is the inability to store weapons. Except for Prowl's shoulder cannons, that's sweet.

plastic

I prefer the plastic really, no dry rot, cracking, or flat spots from sitting in one position for too long.

Weapon storage too, this might be the best figure of 2014. I want someone to make a 10 piece mp Wheeljack accessory pakage.

Same here. Having problems with my G1 figs already with rubber rot. Unless you regularly apply Armor All to it. Rubber feels and looks good for the "realistic" presentation but you get the rot as a consequence.

How frequently? Don't want my MP-10's tires rotting anytime soon.
