Whe elj ack (Prime)From T ransfo rmers Wiki

The name or term "Wheeljack" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Wheeljack ( disambiguation).

Wheeljack is an Autobot and Wrecker from the Aligned continuity family.

Wheeljack is one of the roughest Autobots around. As one of the last surviving Wreckers, he's seen plenty of action, and he's got the snarky one-linersto prove it. If there's anything he likes more than slicing up Decepticons with his swords or inventing new gadgets to blow up Decepticons in differentways, it's hanging with his old buddy, Bulkhead (who calls him Jackie ).

Wheeljack doubts Optimus Prime's leadership capabilities, believing he's more of a stuffy old figurehead than a warrior. Wheeljack also chafes under toomuch supervision, which immediately puts him and the authoritarian Ultra Magnus at odds. That's why he usually takes off shortly after he's arrived.He'd rather be on his own.

Wheeljack was a member of the Wreckers black ops. After the Great Exodus, the Autobots remaining on Cybertron encountered the inventor and

engineer wandering outside Crystal City. They took him in, with Alpha Trion theorizing that he had escaped from Shockwave's facilities there. Wheeljack proceeded to equip the resistance with new gadgets and weaponry, but his true loyalty remained to science, rather than the Autobots.

"Steve! I built a machine that builds guns that shoot Vehicons.

Come see!"

Eventually, Wheeljack, along with Ultra Magnus and Springer approached Alpha Trion to propose re-creating space bridge technology on a personalscale, and using the energies from the space bridge explosion to trace the locations of the vanished Ark and Nemesis . The project proceeded, and theinventor was able to find a way of opening a brief passageway through space-time, utilising the remaining energies of the Well of All Sparks and thedamaged consciousness of Vector Sigma. Wheeljack suggested they send a message of some sort through the gateway to Optimus Prime, but AlphaTrion advocated sending an actual bot. Eventually, the Autobot called Chaindrive was sent, equipped with a device to track the Matrix of Leadership, a

piece of the Blades of Time, and a warning for Optimus regarding the Requiem Blaster. Exiles

However, early on in the war, Bulkhead left the Wreckers to join Team Prime while Wheeljack continued toserve in the Wreckers.

Eventually he reached Earth's Solar System and was hailed by the Autobots stationed there, including Bulkhead.As he was coming in to land at the coordinates provided by Optimus Prime, his ship was attacked and shotdown by Vehicons. Wheeljack emerged from the Jackhammer and proceeded to trash the Decepticons, but

was eventually overwhelmed and taken back to the Nemesis where he was imprisoned. He was amused to findthat Starscream was in command of the Decepticons, and almost goaded Starscream into killing him.

An opportunity allowed him to kill his guard and break free from his bonds. He scaled to the top of theship, where Starscream was waiting for Makeshift, who'd taken on Wheeljack's appearance, to open theAutobot GroundBridge. Wheeljack smashed a bunch of Vehicons and assaulted Starscream beforeescaping through the GroundBridge to the Autobot base. There he confronted Makeshift and the pair dueled with swords until Wheeljack was victorious. Bulkhead tossed Makeshift back through theGroundBridge along with a "present" for the 'cons.

Though the Autobots welcomed Wheeljack, he revealed that he intended to return to space. He invitedBulkhead along, but Bulkhead was too attached to his friends on Earth to leave. Bulkhead was sure

Wheeljack: determined to make Driftredundant.

Who shoots first?

After Arkham City, Wheeljack Ryder getsfixed by a Doctor.

After this, you wanna go build a Dinobot?

Wheeljack would return someday... Con Job

When Miko was trying to stir Bulkhead's memory after he absorbed the data from the Cybertronian datacylinder she mentioned Wheeljack, and showed Bulkhead the picture she took of them together before he left. Sadly, this did not jog Bulkhead'smemory. T.M.I.

During his travels, Wheeljack made contact with fellow Wrecker Seaspray only for Dreadwing todestroy Seaspray's ship. Wheeljack chased Dreadwing to Earth where they battled near a gas station,which was destroyed in the conflict as Optimus Prime's team arrived. Filling the other Autobots in,Wheeljack found himself chafing over the need for secrecy. When Dreadwing called him to arrange ameeting, Wheeljack took Bulkhead to try and trap the Decepticon. The encounter instead left Wheeljack

buried.

Once Optimus dug him out, he accompanied the Autobotleader to the port where Bulkhead had been taken byDreadwing and attempted to remove the bomb the

Decepticon had placed on his comrade. Eventually he was forced to concede only Dreadwing couldremove the bomb, and he and Optimus played a gambit that forced Dreadwing's hand. Convinced to stayon Earth by the other Autobots, Wheeljack adopted a new alternate mode and drove off to explore the

planet. Loose Cannons He also used the time to become quite familar with the location of key DecepticonEnergon mines. Hurt

As the Autobots split up to retrieve the four new Iacon relics, Optimus told Ratchet that he'd needWheeljack's help for the mission ahead. Remembering his past experiences with the Wrecker, Ratchetwas naturally reluctant to go through with the idea, but Optimus reminded the medic that he would need a capable warrior like Wheeljack to watch his

back. Triangulation

Ratchet rendezvoused with Wheeljack by the Jackhammer , and they headed out in the ship to find therelic. Wheeljack quickly got on Ratchet's nerve by calling him "doc" and "sunshine" but soonencountered Soundwave. The Wrecker engaged Soundwave in a dog fight using some fancy aerial flightmoves, but against the advice of Ratchet, Wheeljack let Soundwave go and attacked Laserbeak. After alengthy dog fight, Wheeljack shot the Mini-Con down, but the Jackhammer was also disabled. On theground Wheeljack found Laserbeak and suggested planting a grenade inside of the Mini-Con to killSoundwave, but Ratchet had a better idea: A virus which would download the entire Iacon data base

into their systems.

Wheeljack took Miko along, concealed in his chest. That fact, and his continued refusal to follow protocol, continued to rub Ultra Magnus up the wrongway as they infiltrated the Decepticon mine. Finding themselves up against the Predacon once again, Wheeljack attempted to throw a grenade into itsmouth, but this backfired and instead brought the cavern down on them. The failure of the mission brought even more tension but Magnus , upon seeingMiko using the Apex Armor to beat the scrap out of the Decepticons, admitted that Wheeljack may have been right to bring her along. At this,Wheeljack opted to leave the team, saying that he wanted to remember the Wreckers as they were at that moment, before "the rust set in."

Chain of Command

Wheeljack returned to the Autobots' base, where he was immediately requested to retrieve another Predacon bone with Arcee. Wheeljack grudginglyagreed. When they reached the location of the bone, they were ambushed by Vehicon troopers, but easily dispatched them. While they were searchingthe area, Arcee took the opportunity to grill Wheeljack on why he liked to act like a loner, citing the fact that if he truly liked being alone, he would nothave groundbridged back to base, but would have simply hit the road. Wheeljack admitted that he didn't leave the Wreckers just because of UltraMagnus, but also because he could not bare to see Bulkhead go soft on him. Arcee convinced him not to push Bulkhead away, because if somethingwere to happen to him, Wheeljack would never forgive himself. After retrieving the Predacon remains, Arcee received a call from Jack, who was afraidthat his mother had gotten into trouble while retrieving a Predacon bone. Sure enough, Arcee and Wheeljack found June and Agent Fowler in theclutches of the Decepticon Knock Out. After dealing with some Insecticons sent to aid Knock Out, Wheeljack managed to save June and Fowler. Uponreturning to base, Wheeljack went to talk to Bulkhead. Plus One

Perhaps hoping to win over Ultra Magnus, Wheeljack recalibrated the engines on Magnus's ship. When the team went on a mission to secure someenergon, Wheeljack and Magnus discovered Shockwave's cloning operation in an abandoned mine. They blew it up, only to discover that the soleexisting Predacon had become intelligent and was now after them. The pair fought Predaking at length, but lost despite their efforts. They were onlysaved by the intervention of Optimus, who took them back to base for repairs. Evolution

When the Decepticons started stealing technology, Wheeljack was part of a team which was called out to a location but arrived too late to prevent theVehicons escaping with the tech. They were able to capture Soundwave though. Wheeljack persuaded Ratchet to let Ultra Magnus come along on their next mission to the Solaris particle collider. The team entered the Antarctic base to encounter heavy resistance from a group of Vehicons. Minus One With

the aid of one of Wheeljack's grenades, they caught up with Shockwave, only for the Decepticon to be whisked away by Predaking. Returning to base,the Autobots found that Ratchet had been abducted by Soundwave, however Wheeljack and Raf used a piece of Laserbeak to construct a small aerialdrone which they hoped would lead them to the Decepticon warship. Persuasion

They launched the probe and monitored it and Optimus's progress from the base. Though the probe was destroyed, Ratchet was able to send them thecoordinates to the Decepticon warship, and Wheeljack and the others geared up in preparation to assault the Nemesis . Synthesis

The three Wreckers were ordered to take the bridge, however no sooner did they reach their target than Soundwave bridged them to another part of theship. By the time they reached the bridge again, it had already been captured by Jack and Miko. With the warship until their control, the Autobots flew itto Cybertron and used the Omega Lock to restore their home world. After Optimus's obligatory speech, Wheeljack and the others shared a mutualsalute with Fowler before returning home. Deadlock

Tales of the Beast Hunters

Wheeljack was contacted by Bumblebee, who had located a potential cache of weapons in the asteroid belt. Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 1 The pair soon blasted off in the Jackhammer Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 2 and despite Wheeeljack's skepticism, found the derelict starship in question. As they wereabout to start loading up with weapon crates, they were soon faced with Megatron and Predaking. Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 4 Wheeljack was able toget a distress call off, resulting in Optimus Prime coming to their aid via GroundBridge. Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 5 Prime was able to hold the enemy off long enough for Wheeljack and Bumblebee to make off with a number of crates. Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 6

Wheeljack (Deluxe, 2012)Series/number: 1 / 003

Japanese release date : 10-27-2012 Japanese ID number : AM-23 Accessories: 2 swords, Arms Micron "Wuji" (TakaraTomy only)

Part of the first wave of Prime: Robots in Disguise Deluxe Class toys, Wheeljack transforms into a modified 2011 Lancia New Stratos Concept (http://www.new-stratos.com/en/#/downloads) . He comes with two swords which can stow underneath thevehicle or attach under the front bumper to create an attack mode. In robot mode,Wheeljack can either hold the swords, stow them on his shoulders (both via 5mm post), or

they can be inserted into slots near his wings. Surprisingly, there are no Autobot insigniason Wheeljack whatsoever.

In wave six of the Prime toyline, Wheeljack was put into new packaging, which came with a DVD featuring the Prime episode, "LooseCannons".

The TakaraTomy version of Wheeljack, part of the seventh wave of the Japanese Prime toyline, has some significant differences from the Hasbrorelease. He features a warmer shade of white plastic, his warm light-gray plastics are darker and cooler, his cool-gray plastics are lighter andwarmer, his wings, knee spikes, and swords are cast in a much softer plastic, and many of his paint operations have been dropped in favor of

customer-applied foil stickers from a separate sheet. (This also gives him some Autobot insignias in the process.) As part of the Arms Microngimmick, he has also been retooled with extra 5mm posts and holes on his spoiler and hood/legs, respectively. Unlike other Arms Micron releases,

He's here to slice and dice.

Wheeljack retains his original twin sword accessories, albeit unpainted and cast in a cooler shade of gray, and he additionally comes with his Arms Micron partner, Wuji, whotransforms from a humanoid robot into... a rather bulky weapon that vaguely sort-of resembles his normal sword, if you squint.

Notes

At BotCon 2011, it was stated Wheeljack is meant to be a mechanic as with other incarnations, but it has yet to be explicitly mentioned in-series.[1] On the other hand, he seems to do his own repair work on both the Jackhammer and himself, and he's gotta get those explosives

somewhere ....If one does the math, after Ratchet returned to base in "Triage", Bulkhead came through a few seconds later. When Arcee, Bumblebee, and

the kids return from New York, Ratchet is just reviving him. A short while after Optimus returns, Arcee has contacted Wheeljack andAgent Fowler has yet to leave. Wheeljack arrives shortly after Fowler and Miko leave. So it's a possibility that Wheeljack repaired the

Jackhammer in a timeframe anywhere between 3 hours and 20 minutes . How's that for a mechanic?Wheeljack's "one grenade, one shot" strategy is hinted at by the fact that he does carry a single grenade on his hip.The Japanese dub of Prime gives Wheeljack a traditional samurai speech pattern to go with his swords.
