    I just gave this guy a big update. First, this guy with a hydrogen peroxide whighting process, and let me tell you, it works wonders! Anyways, I also put on a fresh set of Reprolables. And thanks to Wikkid for the idea, I gave him some toon accurate eyes, missle, and launcher. I also gave it a new pivoting mount, that allowed his shoulders to come in more, and since I was there, I gave their balljoints more movement too.

    I have been looking at these bashes for some time, but never commented. Your work is amazing, all of them so far are for Classic than the recent Classics.

    Wheeljack was one of my first Bots, and as Smog pointed out, one of my least fav due to his weird bot mode. This update brings it all together nicely. The added eye paint works wonders as well.

    Nice update, the stickers, new shoulder mods and shoulder cannon all look great.

    dude, is there anything you can't articulate? I'll bet I could mail you a rock, and 3 or 4 days later, it would be posted on here with moveable arms and a ball jointed neck! You do GREAT work! Like others have said, I would not have the testicular fortitude to attempt the things you do to the G1 toys!

    Thanks for your comments guys!


    Thig guy took a while, but uasually they take me around a week if I work on them for around 3-4 hours a night. Id say this one took about two weeks of work total, between the first time I posted, and the recent update.

    Im almost done with the Autobot cars, but have patience, hes comming.:wink:

    Old thread, I know, but I had a question about the hydrogen peroxide whitening. I've read that this process works well, but that within a year the parts turn yellow again, some claiming that they end up more yellow than they were before the whitening. Did your Wheeljack return to yellow?
