    I got all 3 versions of the Jack mold (Exhaust counts) its one of my favorite MP molds. I do wish I was good with paint so I could "fix" Exhaust

    Check some YouTube videos or some of the tutorials on the boards to see if you can use him as a test figure for painting. He’s not hard to find. You should be ok

    The fact that this release didn’t come with the anti-hypnosis box was a disappointment, glad I already had it. Especially glad I have Ratchet to share his tools with, & 44 Prime’s trailer makes for a wonderful lab.

    The interplay options with Ratchet and Wheeljack are great, indeed!

    As for a re-do, while I love MP-20+ there are certainly a number of areas that would benefit from another go around. No harm in the other Latta-former getting the remake treatment.

    shit I forgot about that, yeah that was a cheap shot. same with the MP Datsun Shoulder Rockets and the Sideswipe Piledrivers. I got all mine on the secondary market so I don't know if they are legit....however I'm not gonna cry over a small accessory being legit or a KO

    I found MP-45 for 7000 yen at Mandarake and gave my wife my first MP-45. She liked his tiny size.


    Everyone has their own way to collect and I’m happy with my Wheeljack.

    Forgot to update from earlier on, but got MP+ Wheeljack a while back (opened him up since he was pretty much an almost straight replacement for MP-20 proper, huge motherload is all still in boxes). Fucking love him. Painted deco instead of straight plastic is nothing short of damn sexy on him, but the kicker for me personally is the set of Nonnef ears I got with my original MP-20 off of eBay. Wish I had an image on me as we speak, but all I can say is, while it takes a bit for my black light to activate them, it’s well worth the wait.

    TLDR: Solidifying my already existent love for MP-20 with a great deco to boot.

    Now I just gotta get Prowl and Smokescreen and I guess i’m set, haha.

    Be careful what the rubber hose touches. I posed my Wheeljack next to MP-10's trailer a few years back, and the hose was touching the white stripe. Totally melted a small bit of the paint off. Apparently other people know that rubber can do this, but I have never heard of it. So just be careful.

    Is it’s only use for the trailer? If so, maybe just a picture with a pose for a moment and that’s all she needs.

    See, I figured as much, though I wasn’t 100% sure. That’s why I’ve been hesitant to pull the trigger on this.

    They made a wacky (but cool) Nightbird from Arcee so there is no excuse now Takara. It is time to redeco Wheeljack into Slicer, get on it!

    look at the photos of their auction for a Megatron cannon for that 3P Brawn to get an idea of how rough that can look.

    their purple turret for Starscream is pretty damn cool though I must say :cool:
