Diaclone CarRobots No.18 Lancia Stratos Turbo 'Marlboro Edition', aka Marlboor Wheeljack - with MP-23: Exhaust

This is just a pictorial of the beloved Marlboor Wheeljack together with Masterpiece MP-23: Exhaust.




This photo came out odd. The Diaclone Marlboor Wheeljack is not yellowed, its just a little cream, but next to MP-23: Exhaust which is a very white share of white (is there such a thing), Diaclone Marlboor Wheeljack actually looks yellowed! Weird.

    Thanks for the side-by-side pics. It's really striking how, while the original is indeed a bit smaller than the MP version in vehicle mode, when you transform them into robot mode, the original looks *particularly* short. Those orangutan arms certainly don't help....

      It's quite certain the original cannot compare with the MP in terms of design and proportions, but I think the original has its own old-school charm which is quite undeniable - solid materials, die cast, launchers, and all-round G1-weirdness!

      Thanks for the comparison shots, created this meme based on the Marlboor commercial and the Simpson's episode

      Thanks for the kind words.
      That's an interesting meme! Is there a Marlboro commercial?
