Hasbro has updated their archive with the instruction sheet for the upcoming Transformers DOTM Deluxe Wheeljack. The full sized PDF file can be viewed here.

Looks cool, I'll definitely be getting him. Maybe they'll list soundwave, and hopefully release these guys soon.

EDIT: Oh look, there is another head sculpt, now that i've seen that, I might wait and get the more classic looking head...or both....wow Hasbro REALLY knows how to get you to spend more money

Surprised no one's mentioned the completely different noggin they're using in the instructions. Has good old-fashioned Wheeljack ears and a mouth plate from the look of it.

Wow. Can't wait! Transformation looks fun and I always love it when a figure isn't wearing a backpack of car parts.

I'm getting this, even though I just got the Gen. one. Too bad he didn't get to use that staff in the movie cuz he died :-(

are we lookin at the samething?
it looks like transtech/animated Cheetor's head to me.

but i must say the body itself looks really good and as stated before lookin pretty kibble-free.
heres to igear/other 3rd party to make a more likable head!

May or may not mean anything.. u guys remembered Laserbeak's manual too right? Currently that has not been addressed as well..

However I really hope that he gets a new head, looks so much better, only thing that bothers me is that if I buy the remolded one, hes not in the movie.

if there is a remolded one i will buy both.

I think it's funny, because The heading added "Reveals Potential Head Mold" :KREMZEEK:

A really impressive transformation for a figure that size. I cannot wait to get him in my collection. Dang.

News Credits: 8 · Sat Aug 20, 2011 12:37 pm

the transformation process looks good but i just dont like how the figure looks, still going to pass on this one.

News Credits: 1 · Sat Aug 20, 2011 12:37 pm

I'm looking forward to picking this one up.

Would anyone buy a repaint of this TF if done in it's G1 scheme? Like they did w/ 07 target exclusive Jazz and also rescue ratchet?

I would if they use that head mold used in the instructions vice the movie head.

This new head reminds me Bionicle Takanuva. I don't know why.

Sat Aug 20, 2011 2:16 pm

Even without the new head, this figure looks awesome, what with the great transformation and weapons arsenal. Great to see one of my favourite G1 and Movie characters getting a fantastic figure.

Perhaps new-noggin-Wheeljack and "Buzzsaw" are destined for the post movie line (i.e. DOTM equivalent of AllSpark Power and NEST Alliance).

Nice looking figure, but I gotta tell ya, it really boggles my mind why they would release the toy as Wheeljack but call him Que in the movie. I mean, wth was wrong with the name Wheeljack? Or Mirage for that matter? I personally think it was one in a long line of Michael Bay eff yous to the fanbase.

News Credits: 1 · Sat Aug 20, 2011 3:09 pm

I'll definitely get this, but I don't know about the remold.

News Credits: 1 · Sat Aug 20, 2011 4:58 pm

notice that it says 2011 at the bottom left corner so that must mean its coming out soon.. i heard its gonna be released in late September but who knows..

Sat Aug 20, 2011 7:40 pm

i guess wake me when the repaint comes out then cause i wont buy this current piece of crap

Mon Aug 22, 2011 4:02 pm

I WANT THIS GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, that's interesting. At first I didn't zoom in and couldn't figure out what you guys were talking about, but now I see it. I really hope this remold gets a release, because other than the hideous movie head, the mold is pretty decent. I just hope it gets a somewhat G1-ish paint job too...

They will don't worry..they no everybody wants him. But he seems that he would be hard to make..but I think there's a really good possibability that he'll be made so keep ur head held high..
