    OK, I finally got my MP20 all the way out here in Scotland.
    Have a look.

    Eagle eyed fans will spot the problem straight away, but this image really reveals the problem.

    The wrist/backplate part is missassembled, the same part is used twice instead of a mirrored piece.
    I don't mind, it doesn't effect transformation and is hardly noticeable, I was just wondering if this is a rare error, or if there's a whole truck of this model.

    I'll start in on the roll call. Mine is unaffected by this issue.

    This is the second time I have seen something similar online however, a few weeks back someone had a Wheeljack with two biceps of the same side.

    Yeah, the right bicep was a left one, leaving the hollow on the outside, I saw that.
    So for all I know is Chris and Emgo13 have perfect ones.

    I would assume the mess ups are more the exception then the rule for Wheeljack unlike the foot issue from Prime Dreadwing/Skyquake. Most of the reviews I have seen have the correct parts and pieces with nothing shown out of the ordinary in the photos or video. I'll admit the original post caused me to leap up and run to the shelf to check my figure however.

    That is a real bummer. I've been waiting for Wheeljack for a long time and that would aggravate me.

    Sorry, dude. Haven't seen this before. Mine's pretty much perfect. You should contact the seller asap.

    Maybe he was repaired by Hot Rod?

    I'm with David on this one, I don't mind the minor flaw and enjoy thinking it may be unique.

    You could just slice those rounded white tabs off the white parts entirely. Bot mode would be symmetrical and car mode would be symmetrical as well, slightly less accurate but not noticeable unless you were a diehard Stratos fan.
