This is actually good news. Many fans bemoaned the idea of having open windows since it would lead to theft or missing accessories and Hasbro is answering one particular concern with how Gears is packaged. His chestplate is not pinned and so can be detached. So, what Hasbro did is have it stored in a bag within the box instead of affixed on the chest where it might be removed.
Also, we are letting you know so that you don't think the toy is missing its chest when you see it at retail.

The wave 2 toys have been found in Singapore in a collector shop by Jhund the Jester, as well as other areas in Asia, and should be hitting North American distribution next month, at least online.

Isn't that slot where his "special Circuit" went in the episode "Changing Gears"?

If I find Wheeljack in a Target store, I'll pick him up and probably keep him in vehicle mode. That backpack is atrocious and I have other Wheeljacks for the robot mode. Just like with Jazz and Bee, I like the vehicle mode much better anyway.

And Gears needs to show up on Amazon soon...

Jazz and Bumblebee's entire backsides were all kibble too:

That's what it takes to make them show-accurate.

If anything, blame the original animators for giving them all such un-orthodoxically-designed Cybertronian altmodes with robot modes that already sported their Earth altmode kibble, which no one back then ever imagined that future iterations of the Hasbro brand would ever try to recreate into toy form some four decades later.

I think in the in-hand pics Wheeljack's backpack isn't folded up all the way and can sit more flush.

And good on them for homaging one of his two most iconic stories. I prefer his team-up with Spider Man in Marvel US #3, but homaging that would mean designing a Gears toy that can shatter when dropped from the scale-height of Fortress Sinister and somehow just pop back together again good-as-new, meaning all kinds of parts could be shoplifted through the open window.

Hmmm...there've also been a few Matrix accessories small enough to fit in there, right? Gearimus Prime would then have not only the voice and color scheme, but finally the responsibilities and wisdom of PAPA SMURF!

Only slightly more. The spoiler prevents it from folding as far as we'd all like and it tabs into the hood below the windshield when folded, but isn't tabbed in that image. The image Sabr posted tabs the spoiler correctly, but the hood section isn't pushed to his back like the new image.

Does it make a big difference? Probably not much, but it's better.

That backpack on Origins Wheeljack is unfortunate…
But was anyone buying this for the bot mode???
I’m certainly not. And the front view is really pretty good.
I’m still looking forward to adding this figure to my collection.

I was. Like Bumblebee and Jazz if you look at this figure straight on it's one of the best animation accurate Wheeljack's we've gotten.

Beside, that's a regular voyager. It's not a 200$ Masterpiece figure. So of course some sacrifices must be made. For me, that's pretty acceptable for a mainline toy.

It also still has to maintain bot mode scale, there's only so much they can do to hide panels on a fairly small bot, still make it the minimum size to fit BB inside him AND be structurally sound (look at all those rivetted joints in the backpack!). This was as good as it was going to get at $35.

Yeah this Wheeljack does look good from the very front in bot mode and awesome in vehicle mode. It is just all the rest that is bad. Like others said; this is acceptable for 35$. Glad I dont need them.

I imagine :TAKARATOMY:

are thinking after putting these out, "Here they are fans, all the near impossible figures combining earth bot modes and Cybertronian alt modes. Now leave us alone about it!". lol

Also, Origin Wheeljack is up for pre-order right now on Pulse.

Couple small things mentioned in the stream today:

- Shard is female (I think we knew that already) and made of Death Crystal and inspired by Rocklord Solitaire (somehow).
- Cybertron Starscream shares joints with Siege Tetra Jets.
- Hasbro allowed Takara Tomy to show off Silverbolt early.
- They're looking into a way to get the unmasked head out there for Sandstorm.
- Next livestream is going to be another random one (merch, publishing and whatnot)

Again, nothing we haven't seen before.

Oh, and Wheeljack is live on Target.com and 20% off in Circle (have to apply the coupon to your account first). https://goto.target.com/c/1137247/81938/2092?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fp%2Ftransformers-o%20...%20A-89230403%3C%2Fa%3E

Wheeljack doesn't really bother me too much because for the Origins figures I've been leaving them in alt mode anyway, since I've already got all three in Bot mode from previous release.

Legacy BW Silverbolt looks cool but $34.99 ehhhh might wait to see if he goes on sale down the line.

Also since Hasbro has only released the S1 cast of characters Legacy BW Silverbolt would stick out like a sore thumb in a display.

I think he just meant characters that appeared on the original Mainframe BW TV series, of which - yes there is still Tigerhawk and TM II Megatron. (Transmutate I don't count because she wasn't a Fossilizer in the show)

I could see down the line Quickstrike as a Kingdom Scorponok retool. Rampage and Depthcharge would have to bee all new toys of course. They seem to be staying away from Transmetals proper though, probably because of the expense of Vac Metal. The affore mentioned Tigerhawk and BW II Megatron don't seem to suffer too bad without it. However, I know fans would probably not be happy if they started doing Transmetals en masse without the "metal"

Man, by 1:00 central time Wheeljack was already sold out...
I'm a little surprised by that. And slightly annoyed that now I'm not sure how I'll get him.
Looks like people weren't overly bothered by the backpack issue.

Also, why is Gears not on Amazon??

DO NOT give Hasbro any ideas, that would be terrible. The two have absolutely nothing in common in bot mode, they could never do a convincing Quickstrike that way. There's no real need to use the Scorponok mold again anyway, it's already been used 3 times just for Scorponok alone and again for Sandstorm and there's still potential for a Double Punch repaint at some point.

I'd be game for that as a new version of Quickstrike, but if it's a WFC/Legacy version of Quickstrike, I'd want him to be his goofy self with no proper hands.

Now that you mention it, the ridiculously proportioned arms do fit well with his rootin tootin attitude, everything is bigger in Texas after all

Maybe some minor transformation options with the arms would be the best of both worlds

He's the first Sunbow G1 toy of 2024, which is the most popular type of collection in this brand.
However, at Hasbro Pulse, he was still available.

And Chromia selling out there is weird since she is not shortpacked.

I agree, I want a new mold. I definitely want the cool hands gimmick and the scorpion claws turning into feet.

The Hasbro reps in the stream said the toys were meant to be on shelves in April, which makes sense, it's the beginning of Q2.

I am curious how soon it will be before they release Swerve, next year perhaps?

Also brings up the three final Bots Powerglide, Seaspray and Windcharger which obviously require new tooling.

Maybe they could save Swerve for a multipack release with Outback.

Here's the post for cannonball and ferak
I love the pirate lingo on these posts lol
Ferak is looking pretty cool still
I'm happy with the way cannonball turned out. The updated decal is still pretty cool, and I'm glad he's got the grimace and not a smirk

It's intriguing that the first choice was the reactivate Soundwave mold, but the robot mode proportions are so weird imo. I like the way he looks better with the skids mold, especially because I don't have anyone else from that mold and don't plan to get any other version of the mold unless they give crankcase the idw head (highly doubtful)

I'm pretty excited to get all of this subline, I like that in the instagram story he put the guardians of the galaxy song. These guys would be like the transformers version of the ravagers I suppose

I just got back from Walmart. They had 2 cybertron starscreams. I bought one the other day and now 2 more are there.

I've been examining all the new pictures of Magmatron & Tidal Wave from the Hasbro China event this past weekend.

Its a shame they didn't design AIRLOCK connectors on Tidal Wave for city-building fans like myself (at least none that I've been able to spot). Seems (after skipping them on The Ark) they went out of the way to add them to Cybertron Metroplex & The Nemesis when they really weren't necessary, but skipped them on Tidal Wave which they actually designed a base mode for. :???:
