Prime Wheeljack

I REALLY love Wheeljack and wanted to like this figure. While he looks terrific, if not stylized, that's his best strength. I can understand why many might like him, but everything about the arms totally hurts the fun factor of this guy for me.

Re: Prime Wheeljack

This is a very good toy but I have the same reservations you hint at in the text, here. His arms kill the toy. For me, not even the gorilla length. He carries two swords... and totally lacks either a bicep or wrist swivel to actually use to pose them. He's stuck. It's awful.

Re: Prime Wheeljack

YES! Exactly. He looks amazing and largely is, but the arms kill it.

Love the mold. Have 6 different versions of it (although two are customs)

Re: Prime Wheeljack

I know this mold is very popular and I can see why. The alt mode rocks and the legs and core are great, but man-oh-man, those arms eat me up. I gotta ask, why six versions, and who are the customs of?

The customs were of the G1 Battlechargers since the TFCC ones were more than I was willing to spend at the time so I made my own (I do have the TFCC ones now since I got the pair at an incredible price). Dead End I got right away and the Wildrider and Dark Energon versions were again really good deal that I couldn't pass up and basically made him Slicer

Nice group shot; you're only missing TFCC Chromedome from that mold.

For me, this mold works best as AM Wildrider.

No. Having Wheeljack was enough. I didn't bother with many Beast Hunter versions since they weren't represented in the show except for Prime and mcmus had to "convince" me to keep him
