An image of the soon to released Generations Wheeljack has been posted on HK-TF. No shot of the card back and bio unfortunately, but this does give us our first look at his package art. The image has been mirrored below.

[Pretender Skywarp]

Got mine preordered with UK based Kapow toys, Hasbro UK pulled Generatons UK wide at wave 2, so I've had to import everyone of these, but they've been worth it

oh man he looks sweet! that mold fits wheeljack so perfectly!

[Solrac333]

I need to see this next to a United and if possible, a G1 figure.

[Mkall]

FINALLY! A classics Wheeljack! Move over Energon Downshift, there's a new mad scientist on my shelf.

Oddly enough I forsee a slight decrease in prices on Superlink Wheeljacks in the future, or at least a price flatline.

Agreed, it seems like this mold was probably intended for Wheeljack with Tracks being the repait/retool. Odd that they came out with Tracks first. Can't wait to get this guy, my custom classics Wheeljack on the other hand is less than enthused.

edit: removed my custom pics to avoid confusion.

I hope my money for March/April comes in before the pre-orders close, gonna swipe Thundercracker along with him. Wheeljack for the win!

[GetRightRobot]

Nice work El Duque! I have to say, Hasbro wins this round for me!! Those stripes are right on!! This guy is gonna be a great addition to the flood of Neo G1 products out there. Keep it coming!!!

is it just me or is wheeljack a remold of the sunstreaker/sideswipe/redalert mold?

No, the image above of him in robot mode is a custom. Wheeljack shares a mold with Tracks.

[Wheeljack35]

I'm just waiting for bbts to get this I have this and Thundercracker pre ordered

You mean the Sidewipe/Sunstreaker/Redalert/Punch-Counterpunch/G2 Breakdown/G2 Sidewsipe mold?

No, it's not.

Yeah, that was just my custom that's about to become obsolete. I removed the images to avoid confusion.

[Pr1meSuspect]

Yes! Can't wait until I get mine, hurry up BBTS!!

[retrothomas]

I can't wait for this. Optimus Prime, Wheeljack, and Perceptor are my favorite bots. I am in absolute geek excitement between preordering Takara Perceptor and seeing the announcement of Wheeljack coming to Transformers: Prime.

For once I find Hasbro's colors preferable to Takara's on this figure. That's a real relief money-wise, too. I'm in love with the mold after having Tracks, too.

YES!

[Sideswipe 00]

Yus!!! Looks amazing!! I have mine on order from BBTS as well!! it's the 3 pack of Wheeljack, Thundercracker and Warpath Also I second the notion that the mold was made for Wheeljack and they made tracks as the repaint considering no full on flying car mode.

[dirk2243]

These colors on him are awesome. Can't wait.

I do wish that the person taking the pics would take 7 seconds, flip it over and snap a shot of the back.

[Mindmaster]

Do I want? Of course I want. Do I like his box art? Hell no, I do NOT like his box art. makes him look fat.

[Rated X]

Looks great !!! Still trying to find Perceptor and Wreck Gar. And Scourge is very rare in Miami. I need a 3rd sweep cause I picked one up for my homie.

No, it's not.

It's actually a slight remold of the Tracks mold. It was confirmed in later 2010. You'll have to find the link yourself for further confirmation.

Want another homie? I need help finding Scourge AND Kup. I want 3 sweeps and a united scourge like everyone else, but SC SUCKS!!! I have only heard whispers of these two figures!!! Someone please help!! Ohyea, on topic: Wheeljack looks great.

You do realise his first incarnation was basically an extended beer gut with short legs and long gorillia arms right?

Just being fat is quite the improvement

[DJLazer]

Always a fan of wheeljack.Cnat wait for this release of this fig.
