Wheeljack


 

Alliance: Autobot
Identification: Autobot Engineer
Year released: 1984
Accessories: 2 shoulder cannons, 4 rockets, 2 clear wings

Comments: One of the first year Autobot cars, Wheeljack looks nice. He always was a strange vehicle. But it has a sharp look none the less. One thing I did notice....when he's still in the box...he looks a bit plain. Probably because none of his major "colorful" stickers are placed on him yet.

His transformations were very well balanced. You flip down the arms, pull the legs down and apart, twist the head, and presto!! It's Wheeljack. Once in robot form you place these HUGE shoulder rocket launchers on his body. Boy they're HUGE. They really add to the look of the figure. Wheeljack must have one hell of a strong back!! Inside the launchers go black rockets (which don't fire...just for decoration).

I'm glad they made sure that his face and head were identical to the comic/cartoon version. He has those lights on the sides that blinked as he spoke. Cool!!!

All in all, the Wheeljack figure looks nice. He's made very well and the uniqueness in transformations make him a worthy Auitobot car!!!

 


"Never do what your enemy expects you to do"

Wheeljack is the mad scientist of the Autobots. Always inverting new weapons and gadgets. Most adept at driving while in car mode. Likes to show off his stunts. Flying range of 800 miles using solid-fuel rockets in arms. Shoots magnetic inducer, shrapnel-needle and gyro-inhibitor shells from his shoulder cannons. He is his own worst enemy. Often injured while experimenting with new weapons.
