I guess since they spent the paint budget on the red and green, there was no money left for white? Not overly fond of the unpainted white plastic, but it's a minor issue for me. Otherwise, this is an amazing figure.

He looks so good. The paint job looks great. I was a little worried about how clean the lines would be but those fears have been put to rest. I can't wait!

Wheeljack? skinny legs, and too small head maybe is missing some fat on his body... I find Smokescreen the most accurate MP till now.

Wheeljack looks great as a Masterpiece, very nice indeed! I will be waiting for a trusted supplier via Ebay for this chap, but not too long of course, as we have seen how fast these MPs are getting knocked off. Original is always best, where possible.

Don't buy from Toyspark if you are worried about the paintjob, he doesn't take returns whatever the condition of the toy. I bought several of his items without problems, but then i bought the MP Buzzsaw with Frenzy (or is it Rumble?) and it had paint issues and he refused to take a return although he does offer it. eBay and Paypal were no help at all.
If you know someone trustworthy to buy from please let me know.

The heel gap is there in some pics and not in others. Looks like there's an extra panel in there that covers up the gap pretty nicely.

In a fun bit of Friday trivia for all of you Seibertronians out there, we learned this morning that the just-released Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack has a secret behind his face shield. Thanks to Weibo user ZEUX1S, we get to see that Wheeljack has an actual face behind his mask. Those clever designers at Takara are definitely having fun with the Masterpiece line. Check out the pictures below.

Just like MP-1 Convoy. Cool!
Now I'm curious are MP-13 Soundwave, if there's anything behind his mouthplate.

Yikes!
Glad this was never a part of the cartoon, where Wheeljack's familiar and likeable face was his "actual" face.
Kind of reminds me of the guy that the Robo-Smasher subverted in The Secret of Omega Supreme.

The face under the mask looks like Animated Wheeljack.
Clever...

I can just see the G1 voice coming out of that face. Maybe the goatee does it?

MIND BLOWN. That is awesome! Too bad you gotta take his head apart to see it. But cool nonetheless. I also wonder about Soundwave now... Man, Takara is really doing wonders with MPs these days.

It's cool to see how much Takara has been stepping it up. The MP line is going strong!
Now how about some more G1 Decepticons?

Wheeljack have a glorious mustache!
Some may whine, but I love that new trope that every transformers have a face, covered by a mask or not. This make them more alive.
I like it a lot but I don't need to see a face behind every face plate.
Arent you just a wee bit curious?

To actually mold an actual facial feature? That IS going an extra mile! And yet accessible only if you disassemble him..........that void's Wreck-gar's warranty alright

I'm not crazy about making every bot with a faceplate have a "real" face underneath -- or rather the implication that there's a certain "normal" for Transformers and anything that doesn't fit NEEDS an explanation -- but this is fun! A neat little hidden detail and an Animated homage. A shame, though, about the giant hole in his head...

I think it's a big stretch to call the face an Animated homage. I don't think the two look similar in the least.
