Wire Tap V20 is a Decepticon Real Gear Robot from the 2007 movie franchise in the live-action film continuity family.
"Can you fear me now?"

Wire Tap V20 is a jerk. Pure and simple. He's a master codebreaker, capable of hacking wireless carrier signals. He could be moving billions of dollars in currency around the world market, hacking nuclear command satellites, and causing panic and misinformation on a planetary scale. Instead, he uses his powers to make it look like you sent embarrassing emails and then puts porn in your browser history at work. Watch out: He's got a camera built into his face, and you can just bet your private "happy time" is going on the internet.

Gives you cancer on purpose.
Wire Tap V20 is a black redeco of Speed Dial 800. He transforms into a non-functional cell phone with a flip-open screen displaying the time 3:35pm. Like all Real Gear Robots toys, his robot mode is apparently at 1:1 scale.
This mold was also used to make Highline 1070.

Notes

  • Please note, in the robot-mode picture above, his legs are backwards. The flaps that hide his face for transformation are correctly open, though. The picture at Speed Dial 800 has the legs right and the face wrong.

Foreign names
