Gotta appreciate that there's people out there making Upgrade Kits for just about every Transformer figure there is. Really makes you appriecate the layers of the Transformers figure community
Rachel Doyle the way I see it is that it’s a compliment to all the passionate love the designers put into the figure. Sure, there are going to be some occasional hiccups, but I feel as if these more or less compliment the figure. If that weren’t the case, they would probably go and make their own figures for the same price
Rachel Doyle and that’s not to say it’s bad, it’s quite the amazing figure even with the parts forming. Options are always options if you want to get a part that eliminates the need for parts forming, you go for it. But that doesn’t mean the figure is any less without it
It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. mine is in the china timewarp right now, but good to know that's it's a worthwhile buy. the standard back wings are just embarrassingly small.
I only purchased Earthrise Wheeljack, because Target had him on sale to get rid of their Earthrise Wheeljack inventory. I'm still waiting for a Wheeljack that has clear blue for the sides of his face, like when he's talking.
@@animemanXLK i remember Power of the Primes Optimal Optimus had an upgrade kit that was the same price as him which was $50 if i wanted him to look cool it was gonna be like $100
Just ordered one. Thanks for the heads up, Emgo! I've been trying to decide between two other upgrade sets for Jackie, but this one is better than either of those.
Thank you for posting the link to this Earthrise Wheeljack upgrade kit. (BTW, I love your Transformer reviews! I can never get enough blooshing and precious comparisons.) The auction site (which shall not be named) has a plethora of different Earthrise Wheeljack upgrade kits. I also dislike that some auction sellers have broken up their upgrade kits into pieces in a vain attempt to make more money.
Hey I noticed that earthrise sunstreaker retains the wing ports from wheel jack so even tho he doesn't come with a wing you could probably spray paint Jackys old wings silver and put them on streaker
I got the kit a week ago. I only kept the lights and thigh fillers. Those leg fillers SUCK in car mode and keeps Wheeljack from rolling. Just a warning.
One good thing is spoilers often don't match. Or at least in my neck of the woods I guess kids throw a giant spoiler on a Ford Fiesta and don't bother painting it. :-)
It's unlikely that it's worth a video but a few weeks ago I got my own little brown box from Matrix Workshop with the antenna plugin for Jetfire. Really improves his looks in armored mode.
ER WJ is too expensive but I will get this kit for my Kingdom WJ that my friend just got for me!😁update: Looks really good on Kingdom WJ. Those wings are worth it, and the gun is G1-y enough for me and very high quality! 🤓😎
Do the taillights go deeper into his arms? They look rather odd sticking out so far for taillights. Was that just so you can pull them out later or just as far in as they went?
I've got the kit and I think you can push them in a bit further but they'll be pretty hard to get back out. Of course, if you want them in further than that you can always trim the pegs lol
Jamie G I’ve seen the entire season of Netflix’s WFC: Siege and Wheeljack looks exactly like his Earthrise toy (probably due to Wheeljack not having a Siege toy) & his alt-mode is the same too.
I would honestly buy upgrade kids but my only problem is their prices, I found a listing for $21 and another for $17 which isn’t as bad but for only gap fillers? I’ll probably still buy them cuz they make the figure look so much cooler but I can get another figure nearly for that amount
I ordered this off the dreaded AE and received a grey coloured set. Total mismatch. Bought from DP Robot Store, so be mindful if you’re looking to buy the kit. I’d ask them to show you photos of the actual kit with the figure (though that may not make much difference as the one advertised by DP was a good colour match, yet they sent a light grey coloured kit. 🤦🏽♂️
I've seen a better spoiler upgrade. Love the tail lights, though it would be better if they were in trans-red plastic. The thigh fillers are nice, but the leg fillers need some serious help. Maybe shave off a smidge on the outside-bottom.
Very cool! Just curious... would the old spoiler halves be compatible on an original G1 Wheeljack? (And as much as I'm tempted I won't ask you to give me your old parts that you are no longer using! lol) Much love and respect to you and Mascot, EmGo!

Getting an upgrade kit is ungrateful to hasbro as they have a budget so they stick to the budget

@@tundercomet4779 or earthrise prime the trailer was small and hasbro had a budget so the upgrade kit was being ungrateful to hasbro
Rachel Doyle if they wanted to, they could just replace the trailer. But they didn’t, because they wanted to compliment what the team managed to do
The earthrise figures look AMAZING
Earth rise and siege has some amazing features and I believe it’s in a good Direction
D20 Skylynx I hope the war for cybertron trilogy will be better than chapter 1
the only problem is their overpriced and some bits are loose as hell
I still think siege looks better, but to each his own.
If you can even get them
(Cough cough EXCLUSIVES)

mine is in the china timewarp right now, but good to know that's it's a worthwhile buy. the standard back wings are just embarrassingly small.
We need a whole lot more gap fillers for arms and legs for so many transformers like they did with WheelJacks legs.
it would be interesting if hasbro started releasing upgrade kits for some of their figures instead re releasing the same mold with very minor tweaks.
When you realise the upgrade kit is actually more expensive than the figure itself...

@@Kooster69 Take a look at the decal upgrade kit from toyhax.com for this figure. It includes metallic blue highlights for the sides of his face.
I was looking at an upgrade kit for potp dinobot combiner volcanicus cost around 85 quid!!!
@@Kooster69 toy hax has a great set that will fix that look for you wont be clear but gives it that blue color

That's a great kit, looks good, except the color difference, but it doesn't look horrible.
You handled the lack of Blooshing very well.
Just ordered one. Thanks for the heads up, Emgo! I've been trying to decide between two other upgrade sets for Jackie, but this one is better than either of those.
Nice to see a transformation from robot to vehicle mode !!
I do that in the Just Transform It videos that accompany the reviews !!
This is my favorite RUclips channel to watch and you r the funniest Transformers toy reviewer in my childhood
I love the rear wing.
Drs is now enable.

I actually ordered this kit on Amazon and it is arriving tomorrow, thank you for this video Emgo it is going to come in handy.
Just got my upgrade kit today. "Jackie's" G-1 animated style now! Thanks for letting me know about this cool upgrade kit!
The Nonnef upgrade kit for Earthrise Wheeljack comes with a hand blaster and the shoulder cannon, which both are bloosh compatible.
I just got my upgrade today thanks to this video and @Emgo for the inspiration.
I like my wheeljack the way it is
Cool
Love that new shoulder launcher! Have you seen the Netflix show yet?
Hey I noticed that earthrise sunstreaker retains the wing ports from wheel jack so even tho he doesn't come with a wing you could probably spray paint Jackys old wings silver and put them on streaker
Thumbs up! I think I might get this. Wheeljack is my absolute favorite character form G1!
Ok, NOW I want this figure. Thanks, Em🙄
I watched him so much as a kid broo
Same

Jackie looks awesome wit his new upgrade!!!! Me like alot!!
I got the kit a week ago. I only kept the lights and thigh fillers. Those leg fillers SUCK in car mode and keeps Wheeljack from rolling. Just a warning.
Mentioned that in the video. I did manage to get the wheels to hook up (not in the video unfortunately), but it is doable
One good thing is spoilers often don't match. Or at least in my neck of the woods I guess kids throw a giant spoiler on a Ford Fiesta and don't bother painting it. :-)
It looks awesome but i will always go with tfp jackie
wow looks way better. I have wheeljack I wonder if I should get this.
Hey Emgo, I just got this upgrade kit from TF Safari, and it is an improvement.
Jackie is now a man with those big wings
It's unlikely that it's worth a video but a few weeks ago I got my own little brown box from Matrix Workshop with the antenna plugin for Jetfire. Really improves his looks in armored mode.

if not you could cut some depth of of them to adjust before insertion id think
Transformers earthrise look amazing than ever
Was kinda hoping this would involve showing me how to get the head flipped down. The hinge piece collides with the back panel and it just won't go.
When you finally get it to move down just shave down that tab a bit.
@@emgo316 Oh, groovy! I'll try that when I get home. Thanks Em!
Nice improvement. Thanks Emgo!
Jakie is transformers prime nickname from bulkhead
That's a terrific upgrade
I would shave down the taillights to make them flush, but all in all a good upgrade.
I have the figure but I do not have the upgrade kit but I'ma get it later alongside the ultra Magnus kit
hi emgo, I love your videos
All autobots figures this is my favorite robot mode wheeljack it's look cool😇and also Netflix version I want this soon💪
SO YOUR TELLING ME
I COULD USE THE NEW SHOULDER CANNON
AS A
HAND
HELD
GUN
I WAS GONNA WORRY ABOUT THAT
Waiting for that killer review of fanstoys Hunk!
Spoiler needs some decals. Wonder if Reprolabels'll do it?
Ironically, this upgrade kit makes Earthrise Wheeljack inaccurate to Netflix’s WFC: Siege cartoon!! 🤪
Yeah, but now he is more like the g1 Wheeljack which is better.
Mattimus Primal then just don't use the parts that make it inaccurate
Anonymous _Sg wave Then that’ll only be the leg covers & fillers. (but even that is inaccurate)
Maybe he’ll be accurate in the actual earth rise cartoon with this cause its not a siege toy after all
Jamie G I’ve seen the entire season of Netflix’s WFC: Siege and Wheeljack looks exactly like his Earthrise toy (probably due to Wheeljack not having a Siege toy) & his alt-mode is the same too.
I really like the new weapon and the leg fillers, I’ll miss the little tail lights things
If they gon' make a SS86 Wheeljack, they better change the shoulder blaster
I would honestly buy upgrade kids but my only problem is their prices, I found a listing for $21 and another for $17 which isn’t as bad but for only gap fillers? I’ll probably still buy them cuz they make the figure look so much cooler but I can get another figure nearly for that amount
Now he can have TWO shoulder guns!
emgo316 when should we see another mascot review from the man himself.
when the inspiration strikes
Hey emgo do you plan on making a video on your thoughts on the Netflix show
no
Can't wait for Sunstreaker!
You ever wonder if the Figure and the filler kits are designed by the same people with the way things work?
Aren't those legs filler actually leg supports? They are supposed to stop his legs from collapsing!
Hey emgo what did you think of the Netflix series?
I ordered this off the dreaded AE and received a grey coloured set. Total mismatch. Bought from DP Robot Store, so be mindful if you’re looking to buy the kit. I’d ask them to show you photos of the actual kit with the figure (though that may not make much difference as the one advertised by DP was a good colour match, yet they sent a light grey coloured kit. 🤦🏽♂️
It looks much better! Will you get the one for Sunstreaker?
I like the gun and spoiler, but I have a different kit for Jackie.
Does it come in Exhaust colours?
I knew there was an upgrade kit
I've seen a better spoiler upgrade. Love the tail lights, though it would be better if they were in trans-red plastic.
The thigh fillers are nice, but the leg fillers need some serious help. Maybe shave off a smidge on the outside-bottom.
I have a problem. My wheeljacks arms disconnected at the shoulders! What can i do about it
Is there a budget kit that only includes the Spoiler Wings and the Shoulder Weapon?
I need this kit for my copy of Jackie
I just realized that Mascot is just Emgo from an alternate universe
Emgo, a Serious Question... Does this kit work with Exhaust? Asking as he is Wheeljack Remold.
I would guess so, but don't quote me on that.
@@emgo316 Eh, I worth testing if you plan getting the Mercenary?
Very cool! Just curious... would the old spoiler halves be compatible on an original G1 Wheeljack? (And as much as I'm tempted I won't ask you to give me your old parts that you are no longer using! lol) Much love and respect to you and Mascot, EmGo!
Is the new shoulder gun fit in the port loose?
No. It’s snug
I learned about Gladys Knight and the Pips from a Denzel Washington movie. Not pimps, slow turn.
Hi
really just want those wings and thats it.
The spoiler looks kinda weird for me
Would the upgrade kit work on siege wheeljack
do you will do a review for the netflix siege series?
No
@@emgo316 and a review of your g1 jetfire?
Hmm do I need that?... I think I do but I’m gonna need Jacky boi
Why does Mascot hate boxes so much?
If you see the same thing over and over again, you would probably be angry too. Plus I think it's because of the skit too
@@MrWesternAUS I know I just asking why he hates it in the lore.
That is the lore
Have you tried to sand it (the additional part) so it can roll better?
Eh, not for me. The only real appeal I personally find in this set is the larger wings, and there are better alternatives for that IMO.
How does this kit look on the Netflix version?
Emgo somone else pointed this out
And I wonder this as well,
Why does mascot hate boxes?
Emgo’s wife must have all the best toys
Every time I see these upgrade kit videos, I say to myself “Why didn’t Takara/Hasbro think of that?”
I may pick this up
Am I the only one waiting for a intro to an upgrade kit to be, "Upgrades people, Upgrades."
so cool
I’d have preferred a kit that put Wheeljack’s wheels back on his shoulders, but oh well.
Kits like this aren’t about reengineering the toy. They just add extra touches.
Nice
I have this and it’s great
The underside pieces should have been thinner and the spoiler looks too big
Can I get this in Australia?
where you buy it i want it for earthrise wheeljack
link in description
Yessir
If only the cannon was available separately...
Can someone give me a website link where I can read the book : Transfomers Covenant of Primus ?
6:00
*Sad bloosh noises*
I don’t get the point of the red parts.
Tail lights
I like upgrade four whelljack
Kits good but it almost costs as much as the figure :-(
probably just skip the leg panels on mine
