Stop Motion Review 110 - Earthrise Wheeljack (featuring 60FPS)

[@Citranite]

I don't mind the unsaturated colors. Its simply a Wheeljack thats trying to bring a budget masterpiece to the line. I'm sure there was some reason up in corporate why the colors where choosen. Personally, while I prefer the red and green to be bright, I don't mind the vanilla off white, to be it makes Wheeljack feel dusty, like he's been driving in the desert. for all the people who wanted an updated Wheeljack, this is it. Its a really good figure with a easy transformation. Great review and I love the custom paint job, I just prefer the pack in off white we got

[@elxr9434]

[@Zeggladore]

Interesting thing about ER Wheeljack: taking a look at its dimensions, the scale (apart from obviously the flattened roof) turned out to be an almost perfect 1/30 in every other aspect. In other words, THIS is how big a Masterpiece Wheeljack would be if he was measured by the actual size of his car mode rather than the height of his robot mode. The Lancia Stratos Turbo is a tiny thing. P.S. If you wanna know about replacements for those spoiler wings, Robots78's are probably the best of the best. They're available to buy on Shapeways and there's a TFW thread updated pretty much weekly.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

AH! i can't believe I missed that! that's awesome!

[@gian0giorg]

I can't find stratos group 5 (turbo) dimensions but the wheelbase (which I think must be the same for all versions) is 2,18m. Masterpiece has wheelbase of 7,5cm which give us a scale of 1/29 which is close enough. Although lancia stratos is tiny, the fact that Wheeljack form is the group 5 version (a really "beefed up" version of the original) gives a lot of extra volume.

[@vuongquocao]

At 2:42, you said that there was something that "doesn't sit right" with the design. I think that you're thinking of the step thingies that are in-between the wheels, seen at 1:44 in the small picture

[@jonathanb1987]

They are called side skirts.

[@pixelman6193]

That and the front bumper

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

someone else pointed out the reall long wheelbase as well as the car feels like a stratos that got run through a roller. there's lots of little things that leave an off aftertaste with the vehicle mode

[@SwiftpawWolffox]

I still prefer Generations Wheeljack myself. But this is a definite step up from the CW version, and certainly much more actually Wheeljack for the unfortunate people who couldn't get the Gen version. And com'n, we're in a franchise run that's all about plugging extra guns and armor made from other robots on guys, how could we not have a version of the Autobot's favorite crackpot inventor?

[@shalutosskratos1737]

I don’t really mind the look, it’s unique, and less chunky.

[@aviatordanz]

God, I love sponsorship in jokes, I love them to death on MP Smokescreen. The 60 fps looks really nice! It's almost uncanny... Edit: Nice custom green! That is the one flaw on alot of wheeljacks, ESPECIALLY the TF Prime one. I'm intrested in what this toyhax set will look like. I still really need to get that killer Mirage set with all the car details.

Being a Wheeljack fan, and having both the Generations and the TF: Prime versions of the character, I was waiting for this for a while. It's made me happy to own a 'modern' Wheeljack. And because I own the Prime figure, he can apparently hold his swords for some more playability. Hopefully, I can get the masterpiece soon, been eyeing that thing for a couple years now.

[@wallaroo1295]

@ apprx 3:30 - regarding the color: I'm a smoker still [product of the 80s, I'm legit working with the VA hospital on quitting - just, other things first...] - but, I digress. This Wheeljack looks like it has been sitting on my smokey shelf for a few years. Like *exactly* the color of the most undesirable color when it comes to white plastic... anything. Nobody wants an X-wing this color either. Almost like, they forgot to change the plastic supply from the grimy look of Siege, and just said, "Meh - f'k it. Nobody'll notice. On to more Prime and Bumblebee!" And I *really* want a Wheeljack - never was able to get one as a kid.

[@jacknighttamer2698]

wait the fact that you animated the arms going up on top of head like the g1 cartoon instead of how the toys works for your outro was so sick. Huge props on that dude. Also the animation looks a lot smoother and more natural in this video. Good work man

I spent the whole video thinking 'wow this is such a huge step up in smoothness of motion, you must really have a lot more time to take more photos for the stop motion with this lockdown' and then it turns out it just some rendering settings, so yeah I def say go for keeping those settings.

[@SigmAnalog]

So, fun fact about Wheeljack's brakes: it actually makes sense for him not to have drilled rotors. Most rally teams use slotted--but not drilled--rotors, presumably because the holes in drilled rotors can pick up dirt and mud and the like and ruin the braking system. Food for thought.

On the topic of masking over complicated surfaces, it's best to use lots of tiny pieces of maskin tape, even some Tamiya lining tape or something of the sort, it adds time to the masking process but gives you much cleaner lines once they're removed

I typically have the quality set to auto anyway and, considering the heavy internet usage by my family lately (*cough* COVID *cough*), I can barely run 1080 without some mild buffering. Plus, I'm kinda used to the lower-quality images from your previous reviews. To me at least, it's almost part of your channel, like how Thew has his word puns or Emgo has his skits. I don't know, that sounded weird. My point is, keep the 60 fps.
