Amazon Japan has listed a preorder page for Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack. While there are no pictures on the page yet, the page title reveals that Masterpiece Wheeljack will come with an exclusive accessory – an anti-hypnosis device.
The anti-hypnosis device is one of Wheeljack’s many inventions that aided the Autobot cause throughout the Generation 1 series. It occupies a particularly important position in the plot of the Generation 1 cartoon, being the device that broke the Decepticons’ hold on their hypno-chipped human slaves in the three part season 1 storyline, The Ultimate Doom.
Masterpiece Wheeljack was recently confirmed to be coming out in August this year, along with our first look at the toy, attached to this story once again for your viewing pleasure.

Their prices fluctuate between now and release date. For example MP-12G is currently ¥ 5,590 but I have mine on pre-order for ¥ 4,553. You have to keep watching the listing though.

Hopefully there is a discount as that's going to be expensive otherwise.

yep, pretty much this.
Pre-ordered from HLJ for 5,200 JPY.

Bruticon
No.

Do Amazon orders include the coin as well? I'm considering picking up two but if there's no coin, then I may keep my other pre-order.

The Hypno-Chip Disruptor is a nice exclusive though.

Yeah, pictures are up of him holding the disruptor too, doesnt look like it transforms into anything though.

The pre-order is live on their site for ¥ 6,825. I just ordered one, if anyone wants to order directly from Amazon Japan use the site on my signature.

Excellent! I'm definitely set to order two of this guy from Amazon.JP (it's nice to have a relative in Japan who can then ship to the States ). Gonna display one in bot mode, and the other in alt mode. Not sure what to do with the spare hypno-chip disruptor; now I'm wondering if Generations Wheeljack can hold it (with his open fingered hand design, he just might be able to). The spare rocket launcher will be doubled up to give Jackie two shoulder missiles…. aw yeah!
Haha, it does indeed. Maybe that's where Jackie keeps his Energon-O's cereal? It could double as a mechanic's toolbox too, I suppose.
Wheeljack: "You will buy my Masterpiece toy. In fact, get two! Oh, and Energon-O's cereal! Free toy in every box, kids!"

The Amazon exclusives are only exclusives within Japan. MP figures distributed by Hasbro Asia also have the exclusives, in addition to the coins.
In short, if you want the exclusive accessory, you'll have to order either via proxy through Amazon JP or with an online retailer that obtains their stock from Hasbro Asia.

I echo the thoughts in the MP-20 thread – the disruptor looks very similar to the missile housing on Wheeljacks shoulder. If it doesn't also transform into a 2nd missile launcher then someone has definitely missed a trick.
Star Saber
The Amazon exclusives weren't that exclusive in the end. A lot of Asian retailers got them as well, including the missile launchers for Prowl.

Didn't BBTS and a few other stores end up getting the Amazon Pile Drivers for Sideswipe? Maybe they'll get this in as well?
Ravenxl7
Yeah, that definitely looks like a lunchbox, lol…

It's not enough to make me want to order off Amazon instead of Toy Arena but it's a nice exclusive.
Mixmaster
I know it's a device that appeared in an episode, but it actually looks like Wheeljack is carrying his lunch
Lazerwave
I guess I'll have to order it separate. I would have preferred one of those Dinobot brains.
Spark Extractor
My thoughts exactly. Now I'll just have to order a second one from somewhere other than the Japan sites. Darn-it, now I guess I'll just have to display a second one in alt mode. =)
