Bumblebee looks good.

Looks like Spacebrick is still causing a ruckus on the forums ( ). That said, as long as those in the "know" say he's accurate to the cartoon then awesome. I'm not even going to touch the subject of what looks good, or not, to someone's personal sense of aesthetic.

Oh man, now I want a B-25 Transformer where the turret forms the head!

I was thinking the same thing. That would be boss!!!haha

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

The only thing that matters is "does it look cool." And to that I say, no, having a giant head sticking out of your alt mode does not look cool, it looks stupid.

hahaha

There are always peek-a-boo parts to be found somewhere.

True. At least there's not an entire robot hang-gliding on the underside of Star Saber.

[Gakken85]

Looks soooo goood.

[Kurisama]

I'm really not feeling it. I feel however, if I had grown up with this or owned the original - then perhaps a nostalgia buy.

So from an engineering and sculpt point of view it is very impressive - but there are too many design and sculpt/detail cues that just do nothing for me - unlike how the 1/60 VF-1 or MP Optimus' bold design strokes and strong silhouettes make my peepee tingle.

[JB0]

As a fighter, I'd like Spacebrick a lot more if the Beta wasn't so awkwardly proportioned, with it's squared-off front and tiny vestigial wings.

It's a stark contrast to the Alpha, which forms a relatively competent airplane.

This post hopefully marks the first and last time "the Alpha is a competent airplane" will ever be said here on MacrossWorld.

NY just emailed saying they're prepping WJ for shipping.

[Gakken85]

I wish HLJ would hurry the hell up.

Got an ACT stand, an Alto, and a yf-30 sitting there.

Only a week left to store the Alto.

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

got my mp wheeljack payment request from hlj

[Gakken85]

same.

$98 bucks for 2

Got 2 Frontier valks, a stand for my destron cassettes, and 2 wheeljacks for 4,090y shipping fedex.

So the two frontier valks are about $20 bucks a piece, and the rest rides for free

WJ is shipped, now the waiting game.

[Dangard Ace]

NY shipped mine as well. Went with SAL so it's gonna be awhile but still faster and cheaper then what TRU will end up charging for him.

[xrentonx]

Just put in the ship request for WJ in my HLJ warehouse! I could've waited for the new YF/VF-22 Valk book but I got impatient

[jenius]

Will UM be out in time for me to ship WJ with him?

[David Hingtgen]

No way.

[myk]

True. At least there's not an entire robot hang-gliding on the underside of Star Saber.

*glares at Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire*

Lol. One of my greatest disappointments of all time...

[Gakken85]

UM is like Dec. Probably late Dec.

[Dangard Ace]

Just watched through 2 1/2 Transformers Victory DVD's. Can't stand the first 1/3 of the series as everyone is happy and joking all the time even while fighting the Destrons. Series seems to pick up after the arrival of Greatshot and LioKaiser as "Superman" Victory Sabre finally gets his ass whupped instead of easily owning every Decepticon/Destron in town. Maybe I'll like SpaceBrick enough after a watch through to pick him up. Maybe.

[mikeszekely]

Apparently, if you take apart Wheeljack's head, there's a face under his mask.

[anime52k8]

wasn't that also the case with MP01?

[Gakken85]

He looks... wise. haha

[mikeszekely]

wasn't that also the case with MP01?

I don't know. There are a few photos floating around of MP-01 with the mask removed and a lipless, skeletal mouth with exposed teeth under it. Then there are people claiming that they took their MP-01 apart and confirmed it, and that it was remnants of a scrapped feature where the mask was supposed to be removable, and that it was supposedly based on something like an exposed speaker inside Prime's badly damaged head from an issue of the Marvel comics. Then other people started taking saying that they took their MP-01s apart and there was no face, and other people were saying that taking Prime's head apart resulted in permanent damage, so it could be a thing, or it could be a hoax. I'm not taking mine apart to figure it out.

[anime52k8]

finally found a picture. damn that's creepy:

:edit:

seriously, the moving puppet-faceplate on MP-01 was such a strange gimmick.

[Gakken85]

Prime has seen some crap.

[treatment]

from Charles/OptimusPrimeSG (not sure if he's a member here):

enjoy!

[treatment]

[abbadon]

That's a nice surprise! Cool 'stache WJ!

[JB0]

:edit:

It was an awesome gimmick.

He looks... wise. haha

This is not canon.

Wheeljack being wise, I mean. The face is TOTALLY canon... now.

...

Why did they give Wheeljack a face?

...

Screw it. Personal canon says this release isn't Wheeljack, it's Alpha Trion in a Halloween costume.

[Gakken85]

His voice doesn't work with that face.. at all. haha

[technoblue]

I like the face gimmick, but I don't know the source. Is there something in the Japanese material? A lot of guys on tfw2005 are saying this looks like the T:Animated version of Wheeljack, but I don't see that likeness at all. It actually doesn't look like any other Wheeljack that I've seen, but if I ignore the lips and the mustache, the closest version is T:Prime Wheeljack.

Maybe it is T:Prime Jackie all grown up.

[RD Blade]

[Gakken85]

Doesn't he come with a toy accurate face? That's what I want anyways.
