I'm glad to see Wheeljack again but I still think he should have been somebody else. Although Prime Wheeljack is not G1 Wheeljack just like Prime Arcee isn't G1 Arcee, at least Arcee in both incarnations was a fighter in the front lines. That said, I think Wheeljack should have been cast as a weaponer/tinkerer of sorts; upgrading the Autobots' weapons systems and could have been Ratchet's long lost friend instead of Bulkhead. An episode could end with the kids stumbling upon a previously unknown cavern in Autobot HQ which would reveal... fossilized dinosaur bones! Now that's an homage to G1 I would like to see!

Now what would be fun would be to see the brothers Sideswipe and Sunstreaker and they could be cast as twins instead of just siblings. They could be Bulkhead's long lost friends.

Well, Wheeljack could still be mechanically inclined, just hasn't had need to act show it yet. May be the Wrecker's in-house engineer.

The Jack is Back. Booyeah.

Everyone seems to be assuming that Wheeljack is going to build the Dinobots. THe Dinobots are already built. Shockwave did it (see Fall of Cybertron). They are likely crashed and disabled on Earth somewhere and Ratchet will fix them up and revive them...or they haven't landed on Earth yet. WHo knows...but Wheeljack isn't going to build them.

Speaking of Shockwave, think he'll show up in this show at some point?

Anyway, Tony Todd's Dreadwing voice sounds eerily similar to his ROTF The Fallen voice.

There's a lot of Geewhining going on in this thread regarding Wheeljack.

It's funny that you assume that the writers give a thought about this stupid aligned continuity idea. Because at most they care about Exodus and Exiles, but WFC and FOC are completely different.

Hopefully wheeljack will stay this time !

Agree 100%. We're into season 2 now - we need to start expanding the Autobot roster. You can only do so much with 5 characters.

I have a feeling that Wheeljack is gonna get himself killed, and Starscream will get his T-Cog!

My money is that the explosion we saw at the end of the clip is Wheeljack and I'm also betting he takes Dreadwing with him.
