Toyhax/Reprolabels dropped by again and gave us an update for their newest label sets. Here is what Delta Star of Reprolabels has to share with us:
“March update!
Take a look at the shocking difference this set makes for CW Wheeljack and the rest of his team mates: CW Smokescreen; CW Trailbreaker; CW Hound.
We also have great new sets for MP-14C Clampdown and MP-26 Road Rage.
The balance of the Unique Toys Ordin sets: UT Hagen and UT Siegfreid
Planet-X Vulcan (Look at those teeth!).
GT Scraper, MT Rover, FP Dinosan.
Finally, a fantastic new product! The “Stickerfixer” allows you to revitalize old stickers that lost their stickiness, as well as add holding power to difficult-to-adhere custom labels. You’ll want one for your customizing toolkit! Stickerfixer Adhesive Applicator”
Thanks again to our friends over at Toyhax.com for stopping by and sharing their news update with us! Make sure you check all of these out!

Same here.
(you'll get an automated response saying that they got your message, followed up immediately by an ERROR email, lol, but they got it. …and they respond promptly.)

You gotta use their contact link on the website. I think I got an answer in 2 hrs.

I wanna buy some of these new CW sets, especially Wheeljack, but I've been waiting for over a month now for my last purchase from Toy Hax and they haven't responded to my email.

I have to say, Wheeljack's set is a 110% improvement. As much as I was hesitant to get yet another set of Autobot limb bots, I'm on the fence now. That set is amazing. And yeah, sadly Hound's mold gives few options for sticker surfaces, but what can ya do?
Also, I gotta say…Clamp Down's set perhaps offers the least visible improvement. The existing tampos already look fine, and the ones there do almost nothing… I'd much rather they'd have made a set for Ironhide.

I have to be careful with Jacky. I don't usually reprolabel and I don't want him to look too far from the others.

Well, the Swindle/Hound mode in alt mode is a tough one….not very many flat spaces that can hold a sticker very well. Especially in the hood area where that gold stripe would be.

is it possible you can create stickers set for Cloud 9 QuakeBlast?

God I LOVE Reprolabels. I really do.
So in regards to that new sticker pen….I've always used a toothpick dipped in superglue to gently run underneath a peeling, or stubborn sticker; works well.
How is this different? Or is it?
Autobot Burnout
The sets for Smokescreen, Wheeljack, and Trailbreaker look amazing in alt. mode…but I honestly think they could have done better with the robot modes all around in terms of providing more colors. As it is, I still find even the reprolabeled robot modes of those three utterly bland for the most part compared to the earlier, non-reprolabeled Universe 2.0/Generations versions.
And Hound is just disapointing in that, if you look at the Swindle stickers in the CW Bruticus set for him, you'll see Hound's stickers are just Swindle's with changed designs – by itself not a problem given they share the mold, but they didn't bother adding stickers to actually signify it is meant to improve Hound. Case in point: not a single gold sticker despite how promiment the gold stripes are on the original toy, a detail that every G1 Hound set offered by Reprolabels except this new one has provided full sheets for, regardless of whether or not the stock toy actually has the stripes to begin with (I.E. Alt. Hound). Even some small stripes or something for the mostly flat jeep hood panel, and for the raised lines on the shoulders (which are around the same place as the edge of the G1 toy's trunk would be, which had gold lining) would have been better than nothing.
But damn if Wheeljack's alt. mode stickers make just his car form look unquestionably superior to the Generations version, even with the comparatively spartan and only partial Reprolabels for that toy applied (the gap between the hood stickers and the windshield not having the black lines due to no sticker coverage just ruins any improvement the set could offer me).

The only one that really impresses me is Wheeljack but wow, what a major difference it makes to him!
Purple Heart
This is why I bought CW Wheeljack, and I am not dissapointed.
Afterburner
The stickerfixer is great, since they don't actually make any new or in demand reproduction labels anymore. It sure would be nice to see them even have one release a month of vintage replacement sheets. I can't even remember the last time we saw some.
Koldskool
Those Wheeljack and Smokescreen labels are fantastic. I'll have to get those soon.
Any word on the Smolder set for CW Ironhide? Or am I the only one interested in it?
unexistance
Diaclone!!! Now they need to redo / add that option to the rest of the MP release
Starscream 91
I need that Wheeljack set, just got to wait for my Wheeljack to ship and arrive.
AutobotAlvaron
Toyhax/ReproLabels actually makes CW WheelJack look almost Masterpiece-like in alt-mode, WOW! I'm holding out hope for an improved Takara SkyReign set, but if that doesn't happen, these sticker sets will make Hasbro's plain-Janes OK. Well done ToyHax!

Clampdown's Japanese police looks good (but usually they don't have "Tokyo City" written in English. The only English word would be "police" on most Japanese police cars). I also wish they used a white sticker over the original bonnet and added a smaller, more accurate chrysanthemum (gold flower) symbol instead.
Also, why has Road Rage's set got a Decepticon symbol? Surely it should be a shattered glass Autobot symbol?

Infinitor needs a set

I was tempted by their sticker fixer, but then I realized the superglue I've been using for years is cheaper and has the added bonus of being able to glue more than just stickers.
Anyway, I was disappointed that they still haven't jumped aboard the OS bandwagon. I wouldn't think it would be that difficult to just OS existing sticker sets for MPP-10, OS Predaking, etc. Or maybe I'm overestimating demand for those.
Still, I was happy to finally use my coupon code I got back in January. Sixteen sets for $50 after coupon is a great deal.
Spether
Just ordered the set for CW Trailbreaker. If I owned CW Wheeljack I would be all over that one too.
