All hail the Space Brick!

Never enough space brick.

Just opened Wheeljack. Beautiful piece. The best Car they've done yet. Car mode is just a pleasure to look at. Love the big thick wheels and the paint job.

The Transformation is really elagant and satisfying. Everything feels blocky and secure, unlike a few spots on Lambor and Prowl. The ankles are a little open but overall it's a tank.

Also, seems they fixed the gun locking issue in the hands. The blaster is in there super tight. I think they made the groove deeper and a bit longer on the gun itself.

Great paint job. Great head sculpt. Everything is super tight.

Very pleased.

Your display needs moar Grimlock

And yes, Wheeljack is chock full of awesome!

[Gakken85]

Needs more other dinos

Just brought MP Wheeljack back from the store. There's a bit of "fuzzy" overspray on the top of the Alitalia A logo on his right door. It's the hazy lines customizers purposely try to achieve when painting cammo patterns on a tank by keeping the stencil a small distance above the surface.

Does anyone know if methylated spirits are strong enough to remove TF paint? I'm planning to mask the part up with tape and carefully swab off the overspray with a Q-tip dipped in methylated spirits or whatever that's not too strong for the plastic.

@Gakken: I wish I'd pulled the trigger on the TT Grimlock reissue, or at least got the TRU Grimlock. He'd make the perfect accompaniment to MP Wheeljack. FOC Grimlock's way too small.

Gakken, that pic just makes me think one thing every time I see it.

"We Grimlock no like Wheeljack!"

I mean seriously, they look like they're sneaking up behind him to stab/bite his sorry backside.

[Gakken85]

Grimlock was always a bit testy.

[Valkyrie2008]

Got my MP Jackie last Thursday, it came with some goodies. I do agree with Gu-11, the paint on some area could use focusing, but the engineering is a marvel. Any, enjoy my photos!

[Kanedas Bike]

Nice Wheeljack updates and pictures.

We need a Masterpiece Jazz. Seriously.

true that. jazz would be great.

[RD Blade]

Yup. Because this little dude doesn't quite cut it.

[abbadon]

I'm fine with the recent releases, and stoked about MP-21 Bumble, but yeah we really need Jazz.

Mirage would be awesome too!

[Gakken85]

Good stuff Valk08

I really like these Act 4 stands to show off my Destron Tapes. Only really need 2 and I can use the other one for something else. Maybe Spike when he comes in?

Anyway, for 10 bucks it's the only way to fly.

Finally got a pose out of Soundwave that I love too.

[Kanedas Bike]

^Nice pic Gakken. A Masterpiece Megatron and MP Starscream would really push that particular shelf over the top.

-b.

[Gakken85]

Yeaaaaaaaaah.. I dont like the Seeker mould. They just don't seem to fit.. and the Alt modes are lame.

Also.. no megatron

[Valkyrie2008]

As much as everyone loves Jazz, I could live without, but if TakTom do release one in the future, then I will definitely pick one up.

Now I wonder what MP will be after Star Saber. I would love to see the triple changer, especially Springer and Blitzwing.

[Gakken85]

Blitzwing and Mirage are my two big wants next.

Jazz is a close third.

I'd love to see more official Dinos and a new Megatron/seeker set.

[Smut Peddler]

Insecticons

[Gakken85]

Yeah that would be cool. Easy to do too.

Springer would certainly grab my attention, I think TF:TM needs more attention from the Masterpiece line (Rodimus and Ultra Magnus aren't enough).

Blitzwing and Mirage are my two big wants next.

Jazz is a close third.

Jazz, Mirage and Hound + updated molds from Megatron and the Seekers.

Insecticons

Those too.

Screw it -

Takara, just do everyone in MP form.

[JB0]

Masterpiece Pretenders. Callin' it now.

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

lol

[Gakken85]

IE - how to tank the line completely.

Wallets in disguise.

OR

Action Masters

Action Masters

Considering how many people ask for hyper-articulated figures that compromise EVERYTHING for the looks of robot-mode, that's not far off from what some people want.

They're all "Ultra Magnus doesn't even really need a trailer, much less a working one---he's just going to be in robot mode all the time anyways".

[Twoducks]

More KO MP Primes, now in three new flavours!!

[Gakken85]

I think the next release should be Long Haul with an accurate Alt mode.. Same size as Ultra Magnus on Alt mode, and you can just fold his load area over 5 or six times to make him to scale with Lambor.

The fanboys will love it.

Neat! I wonder if these will fix the last of the fiddly bits or if they are just straight repaints of KO version 2?

[jenius]

Awesome. BAPE, EVA, and UM Toy version... great to see. Maybe I can skip hunting down an exorbitant priced legit BAPE now

[RD Blade]

Jetfire arrived today. So of course I had to brew up a quick Photoshop dogfight.

[Gakken85]

That's cool

Damn that EVA MP-10 KO is even uglier than the real one.

I think that picture of the Bape is the legit one...

The white "UM" might be worth grabbing as it will never be made. Maybe somebody can cut up a spare MP-Ultra Magnus and make an armored version that looks good.

Would be a hell of a project.

Generations Deluxe Arcee arrived today. Pretty good.

Honestly, it's what I've always wanted from Transformer toys. It's why I like the DMK releases from Takara so much.

I don't really care about rolling a truck around on the floor, or running around the house with yet another jet. Not as a kid and certainly not as an adult. I want Transformer robot modes that look exactly like they're shown on the cartoons or on the big screen.
