Vaguely embarrassed to post this, as it's not particularly creative. The idea is not mine; the heavy lifting for this custom was done by the fine folk at Reprolabels.com with their sticker set to convert CW Wheeljack (#wheeljacksowhite) to Exhaust. I also owe props to CHILENO20 whose version of this I saw before trying my own. CHILENO20 made some bolder colour choices than I did and his is pretty darn good.

In terms of repainting, I added black to the robot forearms, the crotch, and in car mode, the front and side skirts and back "window".

A welcome addition to the 'Cons in my display at home.

The no smoking messages seem to be counter-intuitive to Exhaust's character/motif. I wonder if it was done to circumvent legal issues. I'd like to see someone do a CW Slicer though. :D I would, but... over a decade ago I bought an Alternators Wheeljack with the intention of repainting it as Alternators Slicer. Never happened. :p

I'm not certain about the reasons, but Reprolabels have emphatically stated they will never do Marlboro/Marlboor stickers for MP Exhaust. I suspect it's an anti-smoking stance from the company. So I guess the "smoking kills" labels on this set are a nod to cigarette advertising while actually promoting the opposite.

The Marlboro thing would also be a legal thing, as it's a registered trademark. But yeah, corporate ethics for the win. :) It also goes to show just how remarkably bland CW Wheeljack is to have so much white space for Reprolabels to go on! :eek:
