The newly-formed 3rd party garage kit company, GCI, stopped by again to share prototype images of the recently announced set of add-on accessories for MP-20 Masterpiece Wheeljack. The photos mirrored here illustrate the wing attachment accessory included and show how these cannons can connect in both robot mode and in alt mode, further beefing up the attack mode of Masterpiece Wheeljack.
Also shown is the ability to attach to other figures, such as Masterpiece Lambor G2 version shown in the images. The wing accessory allows for the attachment of the weapons that the original figures come with as well, such as the missile launcher already included with Wheeljack. This set allows for a myriad of customization simply with different weapons arrangements.
Check out the mirrored photos and share your thoughts about the set after the jump!

Ah, phooey. Well, thanks for the update. I guess I'll just swap Wheeljack's launcher with Exhaust. Close enough.
Dr. Killinger
Sorry folks, this project has been cancelled for mass production. Though ATP will most likely put them on his Shapeways store.

I was kinda wondering if since Exhaust basically came with the same/similar accessories if this had been cancelled.

I feel bad about the thread necromancy, but these have been hanging in limbo for a while. Any update on when we can expect them to ship?
Dr. Killinger
I'd just like to note, that Keoki got the prototypes from me for lending me his WJ, these are still not in production yet, but as soon as Nonnef has his abs system set up, orders will start going out to TCP.

Looks awesome Keoki420!

and on a side note….thanks for the belly button cover ATP, looks great!
autotronprime
Yes, yes it is. Like Dr. K stated it just been a bit delayed. We hope to have test shots from the mold soon.
DukeFett
This still alive?
John ofthe Dead
Keen; thanks!
Dr. Killinger
They are still available for preorder at The Chosen Prime, link on the first post.
Also, check your inbox settings, I can't reply to your PMs.
GAUGE
Awww it's a shame I never saw this until now.
I'm guessing I probably missed out then?
Dr. Killinger
Hey John, these have been pushed back to mid jan due to a change in the manufacturer.
Nonnef has these in his possession right now and should be making the mold and test shots for them hopefully next week. I will up date you guys first chance I get with some pics.
John ofthe Dead
Any update as to when these will be available? Are we still anticipating December?
Dr. Killinger
Depending on how many cannons we move, we might be able to do some other stuff you listed.

Sorry about the thread necromancy.
Here you go. G1 on the left, MP on the right. The G1 used the striped bands as a visor, much like Snake Eyes from GI Joe. The toon (and subsequent toys) treated the toy visor more like a mouth plate, adding eyes above it and greatly reducing the chin below. Personally, I much prefer the G1 toy styling with the visor instead of the mouth plate. I'd certainly drop a few bucks for a new toy-centric face for this to go with the toy-inspired missile launchers. How about it, Guild of Concoctionous Intent – you guys working on a face, too? Seems like you have at least two interested buyers.
Hey, while you're making new launchers, how about some for MP Smokescreen? I get that the stock launchers are accurate to the toon, but I kinda hate that he doesn't look like Prowl or Bluestreak with launchers. Just a thought. There may not be a market for them.
Curium
I never had the G1 toy, and can't find a close up pic. What is different? From a normal pic I can't see one.
Galaxy Of Rust
Is anybody going to make a G1 toy/ box art accurate head for this guy? I hate the toon head. The original toy & box art is what made me fall in love with Wheeljack.

i love your work dr killinger. seeing these gun designs makes me wish you would make transformable target master weapons
