You could always check out my picture above, and pick the "Sideswipe " you want.
Also, Gigawatt is pretty nice and would fit in a G1/WFC collection. It's also still easy to find.

You should have no problems with Spinister. However, Wheeljack may be a problem because of those two clear triangle windshield parts that pop off too easily. Clear or not, that is a problem.

The old Generations Wheeljack is pretty nice AND is solid. Plus, he should be dirt cheap as an "outdated" toy.

Depend how young. A toddler should only play with Rescue Bots, but a 5/6yo and over will have no problem with Legacy Skids. Appart the inevitability of losing the guns, of course.
Also, what do you think about that old Generations Wheeljack? You asked for a good Wheeljack toy, I suggest one, but you didn't tell me your thoughts about it.

Mkdlmr wrote:Seriously considering Generations Wheeljack. Height looks good. He's a little bit wider and thicker than I'd like though. Are there any other Generations that come with your highest recommendation? I'd sure like a solid Jazz and Ratchet... Thanks!

Despite the clear plastics, you can't go wrong with Generations RTS Jazz. He was THE classic Jazz for nearly a decade.
As for a Ratchet, you really only have ONE option. Get to it before it's too late!

Surprising.
I will only buy the Dead Ironhide & Prowl set on clearance Because I already have Ss86 Ironhide and I'm satisfied with him. And for some strange reasons, I don't fear his clear plastics. That's why SS86 Ratchet is also on pre-order.
BTW, 8f you want a G1 Jazz without any clear, you have ONE option. BWBB Origin Jazz. He's pretty awesome.

"Also, the hinge that connects Jazz's vehicle roof to the rest of the backpack may cause the translucent blue plastic to crack, especially on the knurled side of the pin."![]()

Sigh... I guess I'll have to live with what I've got. Really tempted to pre-order the SS86 Ratchet, but even PrimeVsPrime mentioned the clear plastic issue. /Shrug

Well, they are not supposed to.
Especially since the original BZ is plagued by GPS.
Still, I'm not ruling anything out because GPS cases goes as recent as Unite Warriors Motormaster.

Ugh, now I'm concerned..

Sigh... I guess I could sell my Black Zarak+Roritchi+Upgrade kit and get Earthrise Scorponok, Fasttrack and the two DNA kits... ugh... that would be at least $450 though... eBaying it may be a pain because no one likes to pay shipping. Thoughts?

I wouldn't worry about any GPS on Roritchi or BZ.
I think the "possible GPS in 20 years" is just a pretext you tell yourself.
The kit you REALLY want is ER Scorponok and FastTrack, with the first 2 DNA kits if possible. So, just get what you REALLY want.
NOW.
It will be expensive, but it will be a price to pay.I will be STILL CHEAPER THAN IF YOU WAIT ANY LONGER.
Meanwhile, keep all the BZ stuff sealed and stored in a dry and dark place. Keep it for at least a decade.
Only then, either open it, or sell it. It will be worth much more.
In this hobby, sometime, one must bite the bullet to get what you really, REALLY want.

I've been collecting since 2009. Since the years, I had toys that are nearly indestructible. Some other aged badly. Not counting clear or gold plastics. Some toys in supposedly HARD plastics ended up shattering like glass when things bent the wrong way. Others, who seemed "cheap" have the same feel as if they were bought yesterday.
You can NEVER know how a toy will age. No matter what it is.
So, I say "F it" and I just enjoy the NOW.
