The Takara United Wheeljack has a very nice vehicle mode. Very clean lines that are well concealed and not very noticeable.
I compared the paint job & general quality of this Takara figure against the Hasbro Generations version and there is no contest. The paintjob by Takara is definitely superior.
The plastic quality for the Takara version is much better too.
Instead of the flat red and green paint used by Hasbro, this version here has metallic red & green, which makes the car look very striking.
The side exhaust pipes are pretty cool too. They can become separate
tonfa-like weapons or be clipped onto the vehicle's underside like I have done in the picture.
Now... meet Stubbie (a.k.a Wheeljack in robot mode).
Here I see that Wheeljack paid the ultimate price of having a gorgeous vehicle mode... and that is to have an epic fail robot mode.
He actually has a decent number of articulation points but I still couldn't pose him in a stylish manner because he looks so squat.
From the back view, you can see that the entire rear third of the vehicle forms his backpack.
I am definitely going to be displaying Wheeljack in the vehicle mode.
TFP RiD Wheeljack vs United Wheeljack.
Definitely loses out to TFP RiD version in posability and coolness factor.
All said and done, I don't regret getting the United Wheeljack because I like Transformers toys with great vehicle forms.
Cheers.
