Yep, that's won me over. I was hoping for boxier shoulders like the original but that is just sublime. I really hope the change back to the old designer isn't going to cause a drop in quality because the cars we've had have been absolutely awesome.

I'm just filled with wonder and awe. Soundwave. the Cassettes. Sideswipe. Prowl. Bluestreak. Wheeljack. They're giving me the toys that I've always wanted (light-weight plastic aside, overpriced-ness aside (but everything overpriced...)). Incarnations of nostalgic G1 characters in their 'ultimate' form. Keep. Them. Coming. So long Classics.... hello circus folk (for the purposes of selling various children to fund the new collection....)

I know I am the only person this bothers, but I still feel that he needs his other missile launcher. Just like the Classics version, where I slot the two drumsticks/escrima sticks/pens/hammer things onto the weapon mounts and have him carry the large gun. Wheeljack just doesn't look right to me without the second shoulder mount.

Yes the launcher isn't black, the missile is too long and there should be two. Would proper Wheeljack launchers on that figure make it look top heavy? Possibly, but I agree I would rather they were right. I'm sure Dr Wu won't let us down though. I stuck with the Amazon missiles for Prowl, but I'd easily buy more accurate ones from anyone who'll make them.

Yes only one launcher is unfortunate, but expected. I don't mind him with just one actually, looks-wise, but it'd be nice to have the option.

There needs to be a Slicer. Then some enterprising company can make his pink death buggy.

Saw some photos in the MP book and immediately got annoyed at the whole "only one launcher" issue again!

Can't. Still bugs me about the Generations version. I stole Tracks' gun to give Wheeljack two launchers

I have the thunderclap kit for my Prime Wheeljack. So he's not only got two launchers, but also metal katanas and a new head!
I've no doubt Dr Wu will provide in a similar vein for the MP version.

Duplicate the existing launcher or two new ones to replicate the original toy look?

Now you see, where I would rather have a two launcher Wheeljack, my first experience of the character was the one launcher cartoon version. It was only later I got my hands on an actual two launcher toy Wheeljack. So, I'm breezey on the launcher issue. 'Sides, Dr Wu, will come through!

One launcher is Ok for me, these are supposed to be cartoon accurate any way!

It would still be nice to have the option for those who prefer MPs to resemble the original toys, like Grimlock with his red/blue eye rotation feature.
