    Wow. I didn’t know Brawl was an arguing point… Is this another Rumble Frenzy Bombshell Skywarp situation? :lol 

    Looking forward to Wheeljack!

    People are happy for it. No harm no foul.
    Personally, while I dig the alt mode, bot mode doesn’t do anything for me. Kind of a mess IMO. But it is what it is.

    I’m a sucker for Cybertronian modes and picked up two extra Origin BBs to keep in case my opened figure goes limp. He seems to be holding up well. Send me a DM if you’re interested in a purchase.

    I might get this and just for the vehicle mode. That bot mode is an absolute mess. I'd almost rather the whole back end be removable like a trailer.

    I don't think we are going to see new tetra jets anytime soon. The ones we got in siege were blunted on purpose due to child safety concerns. It's the same reason reissues of g1 prime can't have long smokestacks, ect. Any hopes of a proper, pointy tetra jet would be via add-on kits or third-party offerings.

    Don’t be so sure - the last Walmart G1 Prime reissue has the long smokestacks.

    Sure he looks a bit weird, but that's honestly because going for a Cybertronian Alt-Mode gives the designers a good bit of space to be creative with the design and honestly, G1 designs are pretty boxy regardless

    I guess I’d like to know which G1 WJ doesn’t have weird proportions outside of MP.

    With a street date of July 21st for the Target Legacy Multipack, we won’t get a reveal from Hasbro until sometime in the fall :)

    Speak for yourself. This isn't what I wanted. If this is what you wanted, then I am happy for you.

    Seems like a Unicron-sized compromise to make a gimmick that still even requires bee to be mistransformed in order to "work" but to each their own.

    You can put a backpack on top of his backpack. Nothing is stopping me from buying this, lol! :p

    Can the Blast shield be turned into a mini road that wheeljack can go on top? I could've sworn I saw that either in promo pics or marks bts

    That picture alone is going to prevent me from getting this.
    I have Bumblebee and Jazz, which are both quite good and don't seem to have any compromises nearly as egregious as the massive amount of kibble Wheeljack has.
    I get the end goal they went for, and appreciate they did it in the first place, but the bot mode is too off for me to want it for an alt mode alone.

    The amount of spit-takes in this thread over one mistransformed photo literal months after this figure was revealed, put on sale at Singapore Comic Con, and given a designer desk post is absolutely baffling. Media literacy isn't in the drain in here, it's all the way down in the septic tank.
