    I like it. In a little test of celverness of the toy, I had him next to Tracks and asked the missus if these looked the same and she said that they were completely different toys! Noice, so I switched around Tracks' legs and asked what she thought now and she kinda went 'oooh yeeeh'

    Clever engineering!

    i wish he had an actual handgun rather then wrenches... *idea* he should of had a handgun that the wrenches could both clip onto and be something like generations scourge's weapons.

    the only other complaint i have is that i wish he (and tracks) had a more defined hip

    Well his missile launcher can be a handgun and the "tools" can become shoulder mounted weapons... but yeah, I prefer having the handgun on the shoulder (since it looks more G1 like) which of course leaves him with nothing to hold in the hands other than the tools. Mind you, G1 Wheeljack never had handguns. <shrugs>

    Picked up this little dude today, very nice
    I have not found his height which alot have complained about to be an issue but if anyone finds its intolerable its easy enough to remove the rear of his calf and file down the slide on his knee which will give you easily 5mm more height. But I personally will not be doing this.

    Great figure who is very different from the figure he shares his mold with.

    Head sculpt is fantastic, and like Tracks, the Transformation is simple and clever.

    I got him out of the box to play with last night and as I was transforming him, I thought, this looks familiar - Generations Turbo Tracks!!!!!!

    Very smart of Hasbro/Takara to design them so that it is subtlely different.

    Good transformability. A bit fiddly with the arms and the folding rear, but once you get the hang out it you are all good.
    I'm walking away from Transformers. Check out my sales thread
