No. For one he's an Aventador, not a Countach and Lockdown wasn't a Diaclone toy that was made into a Transformers character. The choice of vehicle, head, paint job, blue wings & windows, it was done 34 years ago

OK TakaraTomy, you win this round. Albeit with some probable help from Reprolabels.
Stoopid self-imposed "No doubles of same characters/molds unless there's a vaguely canonical reason for said" rule...

Oh sure, give me the perfect, as-yet-unused-in-the-Odieverse name for him too...:p

Ah well, I still do quite like Generations Wheeljack.

I haven't touched the smaller scale MP cars but this will be the one I'll HAVE to buy... Always liked the Diaclone Wheeljack and this updated version just rocks.
Gotta and gonna get this bot :)

Exhaust looks insane!

I'd love to see Slicer and an eventual 3P Action Master vehicle.

I want this. Im getting it! :) Love the head sculpt!

I am on the fence with this one.
I like the look and with some Malboro repro labels he will be smoking (couldn't help it)
But with a growing MP line do I HAVE to get him... just not sure

Hhmmm... I'll preorder this if I can do so at below RRP, otherwise pass. :o

Regarding the name, keep in mind that this toy is being marketed at a non-Anglophone Japanese market, so names like Durries, Smokes, Ciggies etc. would be meaningless to the target demographic. So would Fags (so it'd be free of controversy, but also devoid of meaning). If it were up to me, I'd name this toy High Gun (ハイガン). Seems like a plausible enough TF name for a non-English speaking JP market, but "High Gun" also sounds like "Hai Gan" (肺癌), which is Japanese for 'lung cancer.'

lol. I support this.

Tempted to buy him on the historical fact alone.

Will need to find some tampos for him though
