Wire Tap V20

Wire Tap V20 is a Decepticon Real Gear Robot from the Transformers portion of the live-action film series continuity family.

"Recolored and evil!"

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 unsavory links in your browser history at work.

“	Cracking the Signal	”

Part of the fourth wave of Transformers Real Gear Robots, Wire Tap V20 is a black redeco of Speed Dial 800, transforming into a (non-functional) cellular phone with a flip-up screen/button cover. The phone-mode camera lens becomes his big honkin' singular optic in robot mode.

Like all Real Gear Robots toys, his robot mode is roughly at 1:1 scale.

This mold was also used to make Highline 1070.
