I like how Wheeljack's torso mimics the Autobot symbol. The head is nicely reminiscent of the G1 character. Good stuff!

One thing that I notice is the lack of apparent support structure of a pelvis. A simple triangular form below the torso and between the hips would give the figure a more sturdy appearance.

Also, the relatively long legs and uniform rectangular shape of WJ's silhouette is a bit visually flat. You may want to consider broadening the shoulders or narrowing the waist a bit to give the robot mode a more dynamic looking form.

However, if you want to homage G1 WJ's background, you may want to hold back on broadening the shoulders too much. He's a scientist/mechanic so having him look too much like a barrel chested warrior may not be the best approach.

Things like inadvertent resemblance, like how I see the Autobot symbol in Wheeljack's torso, in art are often nice "happy accidents".

Please don't take my suggestions as things that need to be fixed at all. I just wanted to give you some constructive feedback as "Good work!" is great for the ego but doesn't really help you improve your artwork.

One of the fun things in art is the revision process. Some people don't like it, well, a lot of people don't like it, but I think it's a great way to let your imagination go on a jog and it's the best opportunity to push and pull a design to its limits to see where you can go with it.
