If you are itching to know what comes between MP-22 Ultra Magnus and MP-24 Star Saber, Taghobby has the answer in a newly revealed Masterpiece MP-23 Exhaust. Being a Decepticon, Exhaust is a redeco of the upcoming MP-20 Wheeljack with a new head. The figure also seems to come two new shoulder rocket launchers and the Wheeljack Instant Immobilizer. The deco is based on a Diaclone retool of the toy that would one day become Wheeljack. It has also come to be known as Marlboor Wheeljack by most fans.

Oh yes - beautiful and bought. Glad I waited for them to do something better with the mould. (Also, hilarious name, considering the car's former sponsorship.)

I went to the TF wiki page and its already been edited from 'unnamed' Decepticon to Exhaust.

I wonder if this will be like G2 Sideswipe and come with different decals cause I want to put Marlboor on mine.





That headsculpt is awesome...

[VERT]

Yes. Sold

Bought. And strange that they've gone down the route of giving him a new number rather than what they did with G2 Sideswipe or Tigertracks.

And a much better accessory than a lunchbox

The Masterpiece numbered line shouldn't have retconed characters in it. Put them in the exclusives bucket. And a Decepticon because why? I don't fully believe this news, partly because there's no numbering in the pic. Not interested in this thing.

I am on the fence, I hated g2 when first came out.
But I question this character? Is there such a decepticon in this mode or just made up?

I may pass on it.

Okay I read more on it but still on the fence.

Finally another decepticon! way too many autobots since soundblasters release.

I totally get what Paulbot is saying, this should be a MP-20M or something.

On the other hand, I really like the head sculpt and the paint job is a very interesting throw back to the darker days of tobacco advertising in motor sports and how it followed through to childrens product marketing.

I'm tempted.
