RtS Tracks/Gn Wheeljack question

Just a small question regarding the RtS Tracks / Gn Wheeljack mold.

I want to pick up one of these and I prefer Wheeljack's remolded parts and colour scheme. However, I like Tracks's leg transformation and feet more.

Is it possible to mistransform Wheeljack to make his legs resemble Tracks's?

Afraid not. Wheeljack's legs have the inner parts retooled as well to make them shorter, despite what the instructions may indicate.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

I just watched Peaugh transform both of them. Despite the sculptural differences on the legs, the only difference in transformation seems to be a waist swivel. Does Wheeljack have a waist swivel and can his hood-chest flip up during transformation?

They sure do. The legs just don't extend as far on Wheeljack, so Tracks has the longer legs, plus the covers for the knees are only present on the latter:

Oh great, I don't mind the shorter and slightly different legs. I just didn't want his feet to be plain car parts. Thanks a lot.

if you got one of each, presumably you could unscrew the lower leg parts/shins to give a mistransformed Wheeljack some knees.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Prowl, Astrotrain, Ramjet, Skywarp, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Blurr, Perceptor, GDO Wheelie and Springer, or 3rd Party Motobot Arcee, FP Springer, iGear Ratchet and Ironhide, City Commander (and/or Ultra Magnus), Starscream (deluxe) Coronation add-on, or Spike and Daniel in their Exo-Suits.

Just be warned that this mold is very hard to turn back into a car. I own Gen Wheeljack and the arms just dont want to fold back into th trunk, no matter the advices people give me.

So, forever-a-bot. :/

Bat, how is that possible? Didn't it come already transformed in car mode when you bought it? Or did the alt mode not fit together properly from the start?

The trunk has a nasty habit of not lining up properly thanks to the arms having to be tucked in there as well. The arms use a tab and slot system (on the arms themselves and on the trunk) when folded in, but it's hard to make it all work.
