Only if......you like the ghastly colours.:eek:

I have to keep resisting the urge to buy Wheeljack because I'm waiting for Dead End to be released.

Who am I kidding? I'll probably buy Wheeljack anyway. Release Slicer while you're at it and I'll buy him too.

It is always worth buying

Got him because he was free when I bought Arachnid. Why we cant get a general release G1 inspired Dead End I don't know. I would not have bought him if he would have cost me any money as he just looks like an acid trip gone wrong

The colours have grown on me, slowly... to a point where i actually like the little gremlin.
I purchased him when he was on sale at the W for $10. Cant complain :)

Mine is a gift for buying Ker-o when I was in the HK comin con.

I really like this release of the Wheeljack mold, although it took a while (not that long though!) for the garish combination of colours to sit well with me. There's something beautifully 80s about the colour scheme, I could see it as an enemy car on Knight Rider or MacGuyver!

Feels more early 90s to me (re: late G1, G2, 90s GI Joe etc.) :o
