I might grab him just so he stands apart a tad bit more from my generations Wheeljack.

He's also SLATHERED in paint...at least compared to the rest of the line. There is really quite a bit of paint on him though.

Yeah. They went above and beyond on the paint apps with him. Drenched in the stuff.
He's well worth purchasing if you have any doubts. A real horror show.

why are the figures made when the character on the TV show doesn't even exist?
Same with Prime Ironhide...

Transformers Prime isn't the first line to do this. In fact, every single toyline had characters in toy form that never appeared in their on-screen media. Transformers Animated is really the only exception when you don't count the convention exclusives.
Of course, a lot of them appeared in comics or tied in media. There isn't one PRiD toy that wasn't in Aligned fiction (whether that be the games, novels, or TV shows).
To answer your question, it's a marketing strategy as well as a way to fill in the toyline when you have a small cast.

Yeah, makes sense.
Although I like owning characters/figures that at least had 1 episode of screen time.

An it's a great way to give us some updates of our favorite characters in a new style.

Yes, I'm always happy to see updated versions of my favorite characters. Especially since I'm a fan of the more obscure or "unusual" characters, seeing them return in modern continuities with bigger roles cannot be described in words!
