He gets two launchers and Wheeljack doesn't?

Which begs the question: Why? I mean, I can understand the need to re-use the mold in order to make more money from the investment, but even so...
Although, I guess, at least this isn't another Acid Storm. Bloody Acid Storm...

Not only that, he gets two with missiles the right size. Outrageous!
I don't think I need this. I didn't need G2 Sideswipe. I think my Masterpiece collection is for characters I know and love.

Yeah. It's nice and all but I'm holding out for Slicer. They've used Sideswipe and P/B/S four times each with minor mods, so he's still on the cards.
Still no sign of Mexican Prowl though, eh?

I'm happy with it being there as it at least means that the Masterpiece line is continuing to only release repaints that should come from the original mould and in this case Diaclone was the only real option for a main stream repaint/remould. Slicer I'm sure will be some kind of exclusive down the line.
As long as they aren't going to start using classic style repaints or worse Binaltech I'll be happy. MP Hound, if it happens will be the test, can they resist the urge to do Swindle from it?

Exhaust looks ghastly! But I don't begrudge them for doing it. The launchers situation is quite ridiculous though!

To be fair I think he actually looks really nice. And I do really like that headsculpt. I just have no love for the character, so will save my pennies for other things.

I absolutely love the head sculpt of this guy and he looks very interesting, but the origin of the paint job is the thing that may put me off this toy.

Oooops www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/1000681-takara-mp-23-exhaust-63.html#post11848926Turns out Exhaust has some Marlboro registered trade marks on it. BBTS have had letters from lawyers and as a result have had to remove it from sale Hi - We wanted to update you about a new development in regards to your preorder of the Transformers Masterpiece MP-23 Exhaust figure from Takara. We were just contacted by a law firm on behalf of Marlboro & Phillip Morris USA. They informed us that the MP-23 Exhaust figure infringes on their trademark and trade dress for products marketed and sold in the USA.
The mark in question is generally shaped like this:
| |
|/\|
This mark is found on the hood/roof of the MP-23 car in red, and also in smaller green shapes on the left and right fenders. They are concerned because these marks cannot be used on products that could be intended for children as dictated by the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement (Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
We must comply with the requests they have made in order to avoid legal action with Phillip Morris. We have removed the MP-23 listing from our website. Your preorders have been transferred to a generic unpublished listing in case the product is changed or modified before release and would no longer be infringing. If the product is not changed, we will cancel all preorders and we will not be able to sell this product.
We apologize for the trouble on this item.
Thanks!

Pretty sure "Thanks!" is not the best way to sign off an email with such context.

I think that "love and kisses" might have sounded a little insincere...

Might have softened the blow a bit though.
I got to open Wheeljack last night and I must say he's superb, but not superb enough to drop another 50 quid on a variant. A variant that isn't an established character. A character that isn't Slicer.

I'm surprised it took the Marlboro lawyers this long to get in touch, to be honest.
