MP12+ Lambor/Sideswipe for November

[Other]

I can see them doing an MP+ of Wheeljack when they have a figure to pair him with. So far all MP+ releases have been released alongside a figure they were connected to who had a different enough aesthetic the original release might clash with the new MP. Although I couldn't hazard a guess as to who that could be given who's left of the 84-85 characters.

That could be Bumblebee, done in a pale cartoon yellow... since those two were the first two characters seen in the cartoon universe on the first episode.

I agree, Wheeljack's toon markings differ quite a bit from the actual car he's based on , Wheeljack is one that feels like a matter for time for this silly new toon obsession MP's are going down.

Who knows, maybe they will make MP Perceptor and re-do Wheeljack's colours then for your Autobot science and engineering team.

I have my fingers crossed for a cartoon accurate Wheeljack. The difference between the cartoon and the MP have always bothered me. As for Bumblebee, I'd like a heavy remould to make his alt mode look more like the Penny Racer he was in the show. Maybe we could get that with a MP Cliffjumper.

I personally like my current MP Wheeljack. Simplifying it for slavish cartoon accuracy doesn't appeal to me at all. But anyway, here's a comparison between Wheeljack's cartoon model vs MP figure.

I suspect that licensing issues might prevent that from happening. I personally prefer realistic looking vehicles as they look more like robots in disguise.

A Penny Racer design should be unlicenced just like the original G1 toys so no issue with licence there.

EDIT: On further inspection while most Penny Racers are unlicensed there are a few that are licenced including VW's by Tomy. So unless transforming Penny Racers are a specific issue (which they always could be) it should be fine.

Given that the image posted on post #1 has text written in Japanese, I'd say Japan.
