    This makes me very happy. Also this needs to be repurposed as FoC wheeljack, he's too perfect.

    I love how it looks and it's a must-have/instant buy for me.

    This Wheeljack looks great, I'm very happy to see it, I love that it's "smallish" especially next to the BB seekers. I really like that they took it so that it's the same size as BB. I agree that it's smallish for the price (damn the ever-increasing prices) and they should have a few add-ons to compensate.

    Yes but Bay also produced the movie and he also produced Bumblebee and also A Quiet Place 1 & 2 which all 3 got great reviews. Honestly just wait till we actually see something from the movie to just say it will be bad or just don't watch it (and go on about how it will be bad when we haven't seen anything). Or just post this in a threat that actually is related to ROTB instead of a thread that has nothing to do with the film.

    Looks great!!! Im not buying this. :lol 
    These toys have no resale value at all, which is surprising. Im a huge fan of Cybertron toys, but ur looking at $15 for the previous two movie cyberverse toys (B-127 & Cliffy). Meaning that there are far fewer fans of these than the boards would have u believe...

    "But u shouldnt make purchase based on resale!" Very true... in 1995. In 2021, deluxes cost $23, and Hasbro promised to not raise prices AGAIN in 2021... That means a new price hike can come in as little as 2 months! :D  So yeah, if I cant sell this, its just a waste of $$$, imo. Im a longtime collector getting squeezed out by $25 deluxes!

    If every one of the characters are done like this Wheeljack... SS BB will be my crack for the next year... damn it, I was trying to be good and not spend too much for the next year as Legacy has failed to impress me so far. I really look forward to see how the toys look!

    That exacty what they are
    They do and they also recently have been letting famous reviews/social media people reveal and review figures like the green and red hulk mashup ML figure and let Boog ACBA review they’re new classic Dr. Strange figures.
    The SW teams biggest weakness is just they rely heavily on the Original Trilogy and also don’t do characters people want - from PT and ST. Also just overprice stuff like the Deluxe Cobb Vanth comes with less accessories that the regular Boba Fett (in the Tuskan Raider look) figure and it cost more.
    Yup Brawn and Ratchet are the other 2 deluxes in the wave and Soundwave and a Junkion are the voyagers of the wave as well so I wonder if PVP has WJ I wonder does he have the others?
    Honestly he not that tiny on a head smaller than ER Wheeljack

    What I do is wait for the reveal to be posted them wait for TFW2005 and others on here to post screencaps and I just look at those mainly so I can be suprised by the transformation still.
    I like Siege but this does Seige better than Seige.
    Gives us a G1 accurate bot 33AE0941-7C28-4732-A65B-0465641DD97B.jpeg With an alt mode that is alien yet futuristic as well FC5409CB-218F-4588-A5D7-322CB627C7E0.jpeg
    Does it kind of better than Seige Prime and the others

    Same I will probably be in on all them (and I like the look of Legacy). Brawn is the one I want to see the most but the one I’m most interested in it Arcee cause I was planning of passing her because she’s getting a new G1 look in ROTB. But if she looks as good as WJ I may have to pick her up.

    I’m all in for these Cybertron BB figs if they match Wheeljack’s screen accuracy. I never thought I’d be invested in Bumblebee toys, but focusing on the only part of the movie I actually liked, I want every single one of them!! Plus it’s a bonus seeing their alt modes finally.

    I’m hoping flimsy parts and broken tabs won’t be an issue for this guy.

    All great ideas (especially override considering where the parts go in altmode and the blockiness of the torso), but the one I'd really like to see is exhaust, even if it was just the green parts replaced with red.

    Wheeljack looks great! I gotta have him and I\'m looking forward to Brawn and Arcee as well.

    So this is the design we loved, with the vehicle mode we never saw! This looks AWESOME! Shame Jackie here is changing from this into a VW Bus (WHICH SHOULD\'VE BEEN IRONHIDE) in the next film... I guess we\'re ready for some more Cybertronian modes. Get ready for Siege 2: Cybertronian Boogaloo. (Can\'t wait for Arcee...)

    I don't really collect movie figures, but this guy honestly looks pretty awesome. Personally, designs like this are the route the movies should have used from the begining.

    I didn't think I was going to be interested in any of the "TF6 BB" listings that were leaked out a while back but that Wheeljack is looking way better than I thought it would. I might have to pick him up once I see him. It also has me excited to see how the other TF6 BB characters might turn out, especially Ratchet.

    Based on how perfect Wheeljack is, I can't wait to see the rest of the BB movie figures! Not only is this Wheeljack incredibly screen accurate but he also appears super solid with thick plastic, very few hollow spaces, virtually no kibble and appears to hold together really well but the sorcerers at Hastak managed to incorporate an incredible new altmode to a character that wasn't designed with an alt mode in mind in the first place. If the rest of the BB figures are this good, this will easily be a contender for best SS wave ever(hell, just for the designs being used I would already nominate it for that but that's my own stylistic bias, also most SS figures have a lot of thin, transparent plastic and boat-loads of kibble)

    I’m super curious to see how Arcee is handled. I’m hoping it’s not a complete shellformer this time.
