Prime Wheeljack vs. Generations Wheeljack

Postby DarkEnergon » Tue Feb 28, 2012 5:02 pm

Motto: "You can't harm me while Dark Energon flows through my veins!"
Weapon: Dark Saber Sword
I was expecting to be blown away by Prime/RiD Wheeljack, but found myself kind of missing the Generations Wheeljack I had all packed up and ready to return.

Which one do you guys like better?

Prime: Great sturdy robot mode with a fun and challenging transformation. But, shoulders get in way and wrists don't swivel, and windshields jutting out really get in the way.

Generations: He's good ol' Wheeljack, looks like he's straight out of G1, and even has wrenches. This mold is a little wobbly - the backpack doesn't lock in well, it's a pain to fold those arms in just right when transforming.

But - both are excellent toys. If you had to keep one - which?

Generations. Prime is a fine toy, but Generations looks way better.

For the wrenches alone, Generations gets my vote.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

The wobblyness on G Wheeljack is not an issue on mine. That Prime Wheeljack (which I do not own) looks so very G1 toy... If it ever turns up over here, I'd get him. Keep both?

Generations WJ is the winner hands down as you said he's all G1.

Prime WJ however is no substitute every thing about him and any other wheeljack to come from now on will just be out classed by Generation WJ G1 greatness.

As cool as Prime Wheeljack is, I'm going to go with the masses and say Generations Wheeljack. He's just that cool.

I however see no reason to limit yourself to just one Wheeljack. I've got Generations, Prime and Alternator Wheeljack all bein' sweet on a shelf together ( I never understoood why they went with blue stripes on Alternator Wheeljack though. Seems like it would have been easy to simply give him green and red stripes, but still a cool toy.).

Generations, if not for the wrenches then for the headsculpt as well. That's not saying Prime's toy is *bad*...but it feels such a different character in a lot of ways.
