And now that I know...
Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!
- Thread starter Ave Destron
- Start date
It's an entirely different design, but I half wonder if I can repurpose one of them as Daytrader or something.
One on the left still looks to me like he should be palling around with Lightning McQueen and Mater.
I see faces on the roofs of all three. The middle roof's face looks particularly frightened.
The middle one looks like a Pinhead McBoo pail
The backdrop I ordered arrived today. Now you folks don't have to see my disaster area of a desk.
Ordered thinking it would be two but I think one works well enough for my purposes. They're really big and my desk is decent enough floor.

Yeah I was about to joke about just using a wall, until I realized how terrible my walls are.
That's actually the only reason I own that one.
I have the Weaponizer, minus weapon. I’m surprised how nice he is, piddly wheels and all. Going to use him as repaint fodder though. Considering trying to give him G1 Jack’s colorscheme.
I saw a custom somewhere where someone did just that, and swapped the head for BBM concept Wheeljack and it looked so good.

EDIT:
I dunno if emerald green drybrushing is paleontology-accurate but that teal really pissed me off today. Considering removing the tan towards the neck and crotch area for the sake of robot mode but the texturing’s gonna make that a headache.

All those comments geewhining about "THIS is what he should have been in the movie!" or "Now THAT'S Wheeljack and not Pablo!" just make me sad.
On one hand, the movies are clearly their own thing, so using the name Wheeljack to not be a G1-esque Wheeljack doesn't bother me any more than, for instance, Armada Wheeljack.
On the other hand, there are like 14 very different guys in the live action movieverse all named Wheeljack, which is a bit odd. Maybe it's the Cybertronian equivalent of "John Smith" or something.
It's a decent look, though, and probably closer to what many fans expected.
That said, I like the Wheeljack we got in RotB. I wouldn't want him replaced with a "Moar Geewun" version; I would happily buy both, and they could both be Wheeljack, just have to come up with some clever way to differentiate them. (NOT going with Pablo, and the vehicle mode color is out for similar reasons)
I like the cUstoms I've seen-- of the Core figure with I think the Cybertronian Wheeljack head and the other with a Cybertron Downshift head. Colors kept as is.
