The Prowl one would be a fun way to distinguish my Hasbro and Takara versions, may look to pick that up.

I always thought Prowl was the security specialist not a military strategist.

The Security Officer is the lovable paranoid Red Alert. Though Prowl was Security Officer once, during the Machine Wars line.

Licensing would still have been a problem though. Here's the loophole though: by outsourcing to Ocean Designs who may already have the proper licenses (or have an easier time getting one), Hasbro has no need to acquire a separate license for their own sticker sheets.

well yeah. heavily liscenced stickers like those, but the average MP would just need regular 'ol goofy 80's designs.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Licensing would still have been a problem though.

Damn it, now I need a second Prowl. I'd buy these sheets for the Wheeljack set alone. Hasbro finally beat Reprolabels at their own game.

actually... the stickered prowl in my pic is reprolabel'd. which after comparing the two stickers sets, RL wins hands down in my opinion.Trikeboy wrote:Damn it, now I need a second Prowl. I'd buy these sheets for the Wheeljack set alone. Hasbro finally beat Reprolabels at their own game.

I'm not sure I'd jump to that conclusion as we don't really know the quality of these stickers.

Quality is topnotch.........factory produced level. I have this:

They are kind of a pain to remove. A film of sorts covers the decal which you have to pull off first then carefully peel off from the mounted card stock. Use tweezers if need to.

Such as an even more Floro Dery style stripped down deco? Maybe a TT Mall exclusive like Diaclone Bluestreak in the future.

It's precisely that. For the same price, you can have these 3 deluxes or MP Hotrodimus shipped from HLJ http://hlj.com/product/TKT84468/Act?utm_source=seibertron.com&=&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=news%20post
Between the two what gives you more bang for your buck? I dont know.
PS: The answer is MP Wheeljack
Sure this is but one of the many opinions that give praise to the mold but iirc, some people (not wj88) previously were saying that WJ wasn't MP enough. How a few months does change ones opinions.

A poster on TFW2005 said that when they purchased a KO Wheeljack Masterpiece recently (they didn't say from whom) that it came with Rubber tires (just like Tracks and Road Rage's KO also do).
I thought I'd mention it as it might be of interest to people looking for Rubber tires or looking to avoid them.
I wonder if the lambor moulds or the Zed-cars will be the next to get a possible rubber tires treatment ?
Strange that they'd decide to make a modification like that to the toys and yet not think to do something like a unique character like Slicer or Deepcover.
Anyway I hope this news was useful and if anyone happens to get a rubber tire one too please provide some video evidence or such or any details on packaging changes that might tell a buyer which version they are getting !
--------
[P.s.]
If anyone has any information on the difference or benefits of the add on labels i'd be interested in more information on that as I see the Ocean ones on ebay going cheap sometimes and wonder if they are worth it.
Is it true some of the decals are designed for Exhaust and Generations Wheeljack too ?
I am very impressed by how Prowl looks stickered up I'd like to do that but again what is the relative merits of the available stickers ocean or reprolabels.
Last question - do you have to buy two MP jackies to get two launchers ?
----
[P.P.s]
I'd really like to see what a fully stickered MP Jackie looks like in Robot mode too - I was a little worried he might look cluttered.

As expected, it sports a more cartoon-accurate (and hence much more conservative) deco compared to the old MP-20, featuring a few splashes of red and green as opposed to the larger and more intricate designs on his older self. It seems that both silver and smokey clear have been subbed out in favor of a light gray for his missile launcher, face and "wings" as well. The panels on his hands also sport a far different deco of black with orange tail-lights, rather than white with red.
Finally and perhaps most noticeably, he carries a large, bulbous object with a spike on the top. This is obviously some invention of his or another from the Generation 1 cartoon, though it's not immediately apparent which one. If you recognize it, share it with your fellow board members in the Energon Pub Forums! Share any other thoughts you may have about this new deco there, as well. And as always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news, including more from WonFes (like Masterpiece Hound, check it out)!!

He's the first one who needed the MP+ treatment before all else!

Hmph, it's yours and WreckerJack's fault that he can't be my boy too. We can't have three News Crew members who all idolize Wheeljack; it simply isn't right

I was here before EITHER of you. You can't have him.
Hey, I have G1 Jack, Wrecker has Prime, you could have...uh...Armada? Cyberverse? We could have a holy trinity. The Knights of Wheel.
