Carded Image of Unreleased Movie Trilogy Series Wheeljack

Can we see a shot of the back as well?

im not a fan of the movies but i would've like to have see the trilogy toy line actually see the light of day, would've been a great way to reissue/remold some of the older figures. Would really like to have seen the allspark figures or what ever they were called without the bright blue parts.

Hmmm....
Looks like a turd.

And you know what? Even if you add sprinkles to a turd it's still a turd.


Let's face it, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who agrees this fig looks horrible. Even if it was given to me for free I'd give it away. Even giving it to charity would be sin!

Just curious as to how much he paid for it. I know prototypes go for a pretty hefty price tag.

Ever heard the saying if you have nothing positive to say to keep it to yourself? I am not a huge fan of the movie line myself but this is a great find.

You are entitled to your opinion but do not try to crap on my thread. Appreciate it!

It's an interesting boxed sample that I'm sure most of us wouldn't think twice about because it's a repaint. Let's be honest, though, this probably would have been a shelfwarmer if it ever hit retail.

Yet it never hit shelves. Now if only Movie Trilogy Ratchet and Bee would show I would have all of the Deluxe Series Wave 7 figures. At least I am halfway there and have Leadfoot Target Deluxe to go with them

I am so PISSED we never got Leadfoot!

Nope, it's a pretool with a more G1-inspired head. And I would buy it, it's Wheeljack!

his head looks like matrix of leadership like to see bot mode for fun

sorry dude, didn't mean to ruin your parade but making an "incredible" find like this looks like a kid finding a penny on the ground. lol, but i see your point, i guess there is a market for movie figures whether it's a prototype or not.

It's not just a prototype, it's an in-package sample of an unreleased/canceled figure, emphasis on unreleased. That fact alone makes it interesting, even more since it reached the packaging sample stage along with Leadfoot.

Then again, it's mostly about what the figure is exactly. All in the eye of the beholder.

Honestly I'd probably impulsively buy one too

There were only 8 known toys planned for this subline:

Deluxe:

• Optimus Prime - w/ trailer, redeco of the Walmart Deluxe DOTM figure, only one released in the U.S.
• Evac - eventually released in the Universal Studios line
• Bumblebee - redeco of DOTM Deluxe Nitro Bumblebee
• Autobot Ratchet - redeco of the DOTM Deluxe figure
• Soundwave - Soundblaster-based redeco of the DOTM Deluxe figure
• Wheeljack - G1-based remold of the DOTM Deluxe figure

Leader

• Ironhide - G1-based redeco of the DOTM Leader figure, released in Canada, and released in Asia in Generations packaging
• Starscream - G1-based redeco of the 2010 Leader figure, released in Canada, and released in Asia in Generations packaging

Awesome find dude! I got one of the loose Soundblasters from that wave and it was an excellent redeco. This looks to be the same way. If you ever open it, we need pics!

Also, as Sabrblade mentioned earlier, some pics of the back of the card would be awesome stuff

I plan on taking very detailed pictures at the end of the week.

This reminds me....

I still don't have DOTM Leadfoot, Soundwave, or Wheeljack.

Excellent find. I'm going for the original decoes, though.

I also like the original Decoes

Wish I had a DOTM Leadfoot Boxed I missed out on one once went for over $600

Man, I know a lot of people got sick to death of it, but I still think that DotM packaging was just excellent. Everytime I see it I get reminded.

Agreed. They at least got that right from the line.

Also agreed! As has been said, it's Wheeljack, and I've always thought the pretooled head looked great.

Can we get another 5 Bumblebee's with slightly different decos ? I really want more Bumblebees...

It does look great packaged. Really no reason to ever remove him from it.

Nice rare find. And nice rare collection pic of all those later hard to impossible to get deluxes. Thanks for sharing.

Eh, looks neat. Loads better than the original figure, but if I saw this in-stores, I'd probably pass on it.

That's pretty ugly. I tend to get the movie bots but not touching this one.

Can't say I would've bought him, but it would've been pretty amusing to have a G1, Movieverse, and Prime Wheeljack all released within a year or so of each other.

Other unreleased / prototypes I have are Calvin Johnson Megatron , The Original Henkei Ultra Magnus , SDCC Prototype Nemesis Prime and Blue Henkei Bumblebee.

Did Leadfoot have a second deco planned for this Movie Trilogy line? Or am I getting confused? As you say Dotm Leadfoot is unreleased??? He was released, just not in North America.

Leadfoot was part of a 2 pack from a Target Exclusive with Topspin that was cancelled. It was part of the DOTM line. I am only mentioning it because it is another cancelled / unreleased figure I own that is part of the movie line.

The only place where Leadfoot was released was in Japan where he featured none of the advertisements that Nascars feature or paint apps that were on the Target Exclusive version Hasbro had planned.

Leadfoot was indeed released in Japan, but with the markings like the Target logo removed. We went unreleased in the US, he was supposed to come in a Target-exclusive 2-pack with an unaltered Topspin.

Just did a search for pics etc, never knew this 2pk was on the cards, never mind finished production samples in packaging lol boy I love this hobby

I know about the Takara deluxe as I picked him up back when he was released. Got the Reprolabels sets for all 3 deluxes as Leadfoot really needed his missing Target logos etc.

I tend to be a prototype / unreleased collector in several hobbies. Transformers , GI Joe and Video Games.

My goal is to have every significant unreleased figure from the last 8 years.

Here are some pics of the Unreleased Leadfoot in packaging

I was secretly hoping for them to be in warehouses somewhere, and be bought up by liquidators... Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?

I really wanted this back then, the mold seemed pretty cool, plus this deco and the head just made it look pretty cool.

But this is not a prototype, it's simply a packaging sample of an unreleased figure.

So jealous

I collect Transformer prototypes/unreleased as well. I'd love something like this for my collection too.
If you ever come across another

I'm always skeptical of these types of unreleased figures. I can't help but hope that we'll have a warehouse cleaning and we'll be able to get our hands on them, similar to those Target Energon repaint Movie exclusives a few years back.

I kinda like it

I highly doubt this figure is going to pop up again. This is a one time deal. If it were to be leaked it would of happened before now.

Also wanted to address something while I was at it. I cannot defend myself on another unmentioned site due to having issues with moderators over giving me credit on prior Prototypes / Unreleased figures. I have continued to share this info at no gain to me but as information to share with the community as a whole. This is now the 3rd Confirmed Figure that I myself have sourced and acquired and shared with this Hobby. If you want me to continue to do so I would suggest a little respect when it has been proven again that I am legit and have come with the goods time and time again.

If you wish to remain immature and bandwagon with previous hobbies who have questioned my legitimacy that is your choice. Also you should base your assumptions on facts. I have Delivered those and will continue to deliver those as long as I am part of this hobby!

Can you take more pictures of wheeljack?

There is one low res image only?



Also can you explain where you got these rare figures?
Your explanation is vauge.

What is this a reaction to? I don't see anyone questioning your legitimacy, the only real negative comments I see are like 2 typical "Bwah stupid bayformers!" you get in every movie related thread.

I will take many high res pics later this week. I have bought all of my figures from ebay from various sellers over the last 3 years.

Man, I LOVE that Wheeljack. I woulda bought it without a moments hesitation. One more example of how Hasbro F'd us on the DOTM line.

One can dream that they'll vindicate themselves and release this in the later waves of AOE toys.

I haven't seen said post, but I think I can pretty well guess which site it was posted on.

I'm guessing it starts with a number and rhymes with "ran." Of all the people on the internet, don't let those kinds of trolls get to you, TC.

I was thinking of a legit TF site.

I am still amazed I have been able to find as many figures as I have in such a short time. Setting goals and reaching them makes me happy. The figure that intrigues me the most right now is the Movie Trilogy Ratchet as I am fond of the G1 deco and the White looks much better then the ugly movie Green.

Congrats! Looks like a great figure.

I am more excited to share the packaging pictures with everyone more then anything.

Look forward to doing that within the next day or so.

wow.. the ego around here is palpable.

why is it that people want "credit" for any little thing..

and why is it that whenever anyone has something that someone else doesn't have they wield it like some special power..

seems rather immature to me.

it's cool that you posted this.. but we've all seen the hasbro photo's of this thing before. it's not some special figure or special prototype of something completely unknown.

like i said.. it's cool that you posted it, but the ego and the "they hurt my feelings, i'm taking my toy and going home" attitude is crazy.

First off this was not posted on this site. Second you did not see what was posted was slanderous and hurtful and not true.

I would appreciate you keeping out of it as the admin from the other site already removed the negative remark.

This has nothing to do with Ego I was addressing an issue within a public forum which was resolved.

And if I chose to not share anymore pictures and go GHOST then that would be my choice. I am not holding anything over anyone's head. Just bringing up the point that doubters continue to talk smack although I have proved legit time and time again.

Do not dip in the koolade without knowing the flavor?
