    I have messaged him about plans for this. I would like to offer a complete collaborate kit if possible.

    Since you said for us to let you know, I would like the windshield piece to be black...I'm not sure from the video how exactly you cut the small pieces from the car hood, so if you could elaborate on that, it would be cool. I would like to buy this Wheeljack kit, one for Cliffjumper when you design it, and one for the future Trailbreaker as well. Great job on these!

    edit: I also like how you modified your Classics Prowl/Sunstreaker/Smokescreen mold...I would like some details on that as well.

    Carry on...

    The rounded windshield looks so much better. I’m suddenly unsatisfied with my default ER Wheeljack now.

    This is not just an amazing rework, but also goes to show how fucking stupid the new earthrise designs r... I mean this is ALL it took to improve this figure, and in fact requires less plastic and less pieces to mold, making a cheaper production cost. Wtf hasbro...

    By far I much prefer these designs over the past iterations in the original classics line in a lot of ways. So personally I don’t see your issue with this. Other than that it’s your personal preference at the end of the day, you do what you want with your money my dude.

    I mean that the new earthrise designs r so lazy and awkward that I don't understand how people r defending it. There's a figure with the alt mode arms just hanging off of it's bot mode arms for fucks sake. The new figures can be improved with such little effort by fans, y weren't they like this to begin with? The earthrise line is just a mockery of G1 designs.

    Do you think you could take a picture without the leg extensions? I like the chest plate, but the legs look really gappy now and I'm fine with Wheeljack's original height.

    Thank you for your kind replies and criticism. I am happy that many of you share my view on these figures.

    For now i have the files available on etsy as a DIY STL pack for 3d printers. Until the lock down is over in my country I will have to be limited to digital files only :(  STl files for Transformers Earthrise Wheeljack improvement

    Thank you. I like the classics version but i might pick up earthrise Sunstreaker just as a challenge to show what it could have been.

    Thank you. Right now digital files only i'm afraid :(  Untill lockdown is over.

    I have replied to your message :) 

    I will try to post some additional pictures. I think i prefer the black one also but the blue one is more visible to show what has been changed on pictures and movie. As for Cliffjumper I saw people making some nice kits already. I myself have an idea for a upgrade for him but in making it i would incurage people to buy a figure that has an unacceptable design so i do not think i will go trough with it. In my opinion partsforming in cliffjumper is a bad decision in the design stage and i think the company making it should see that in the form of low sales.

    I will make some pictures

    I thought about that but it would involve a more serious modification and my goal is to make these easy to make at home.

    Thanks for replying. I would also be interested in the additional piece for Hoist, because I wish he was a little taller as well. If you print it, I'll buy it. :cool: 
    carry on...

    I look forward to a complete set with wing expansion and leg covers. Can you put it up in shapeways?

    Awesome job, and I love what you did with this overall. I hope you get success one way or another getting those pieces out to people. Sharing the file is cool, but hopefully when this whole thing lifts you can find a way to get your printed pieces to us fans. :)

    Probably buy the files then find a local 3D printing supplier - it's how I got the head for my custom Thunderclash and Scorch printed off.
