Greyryder Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I'm glad, they aren't clear. They've never been shown as clear, they just blinked when he talked. I do wish he had his original Ladyhawke visor, I always thought it looked better than turning it into a mouth plate. But, that's something that will probably never happen again in a toy, just like Trailbreaker's mouth plate. Quote
jenius Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I hope you can recess the mirrors into the legs. They should make an aftermarket screw cover for inside the driver's compartment that includes a tiny hula dancer on top of it. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 What did the hypno-chip disruptor do? did that turn off the dinobots? i forgot if i've seen that on the show. Quote

Kurisama Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Wheeljack up at HLJ!!!!http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT80319/Sci Quote
Gakken85 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Wheeljack up at HLJ!!!! http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT80319/Sci I saw them slowly updating their page all day. Finally haha. Now I can go to BBTS and cancel Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Wheeljack up at HLJ!!!! http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT80319/Sci thanks i just pre-ordered, i guess i won't have that lunch box that i don't know what it does.. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) wheeljack looks glorious!!! it's perfect almost the flaps around his fists are supposed to be on the bottom and no the side but i guess its shown both ways? either way its awesome. however, if ever there were a need for a light up gimmick its him but since its carbot size and pricepoint we won't get it. any third party ppl listening? get on this pronto!!! i don't need his lunchbox even if do remember that episode so i preordered 2 at AE... i figure if i really want it later i can pick one up off ebay like every other amazon special pack in.

danth Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I do wish he had his original Ladyhawke visor, I always thought it looked better than turning it into a mouth plate. I agree. The visor is part of why G1 Wheeljack was so cool. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 needs concentric circle effects parts cool! so the lunch box makes circles. i better start looking through my dvds and find that scene. just want to see if it's worth hunting down the amazon jpn bonus. i'll prob find out watching but wondering if this counteracts hypnotic spells like bombshell's cerebral implant or mindwipe's power.

danth Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Actually so many TFs come with swappable heads/faces that I don't see why a visored Wheeljack isn't an option. Quote
mikeszekely Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 I agree. The visor is part of why G1 Wheeljack was so cool.You mean the visor I didn't realize the original toy even had until recently, despite Wheeljack being a very prominent character in the first two seasons of the cartoon? Hey, I'm all for options so that everyone can be happy, but to me it was always a mouthpiece, and Wheeljack's always had eyes. Just like Rumble is blue. The cartoon I watched religiously as a child trumps toys that barely resemble anything remotely like the animation model that I probably didn't have in the first place. Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Yeah, but Rumble is still red. Edited January 14, 2014 by anime52k8 Quote
mikeszekely Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Yeah, but Rumble is still red. You FIBRIR-ers keep on thinking that... Edited January 14, 2014 by mikeszekely Quote

Greyryder Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 You FIBRIR-ers keep on thinking that... I had the toys. I was there, man! Quote
mikeszekely Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 I had the toys. I was there, man! Toys could have been a mislabel, especially because once they're out of the packaging they're not wearing name tags. Or some other reason. Kind of like how the packaging called the Universe triple-changer with a tanker truck and cargo plane alt mode Tankor, but we all know he's Octane. That said, I'm pretty sure Soundwave wasn't getting mixed up every time he called for Rumble and the blue guy came out. Especially when blue guy self identified as Rumble. Two seasons and a movie don't lie. Rumble is lavender. Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Rumble is lavender. By that definition frenzy is black. :P Quote
close313 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Have you guys seen the TF4 Prime toy? As expected, a shellformer... Hope grimlock won't end up like that. http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-9/transformers-4-age-of-extinction-premium-edition-optimus-prime-revealed-179069/ Quote
JET7 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 at first glance, i thought wheeljack was carrying this.. Quote
mikeszekely Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 By that definition frenzy is black. Also acceptable. FIBRIL. Have you guys seen the TF4 Prime toy? As expected, a shellformer... That doesn't look too bad... for a fast action battler. For a Premium figure, that's just awful. I'd be more upset, but I'm not a fan of the Bayverse aesthetic in the first place, and have bought very few toys from the first three movies. Quote
Gakken85 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Speaking of bayverse... who the hell would pay 2 grand + for this thing: 3 feet of polystone haha. It looks like something that Image comics would have releases in the 90's.. by a 15 year old. Edited January 15, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 the same people who bought the stupidly expensive Optimus Prime Maquette they did a few years ago. Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Toys could have been a mislabel, especially because once they're out of the packaging they're not wearing name tags. wait, yours didn't have name tags? decepticon corporate training day by Mike - drowning in plastic, on Flickr Quote
Dangard Ace Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Those two are troublemakers and would NEVER put their own names on their name tags. Swapping names like they did above is exactly what they would do. Quote
Dax415 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 The Amazon exclusive hypno-chip disruptor. Was just curious if this was a Amazon Japan exclusive or can you get it through Amazon here in the states. I might be in the market for one with a lunch box.....now what do I got to do to get the thermos? Quote
