Wheeljack is by far the most talked about design of the film. Not only because of how different it is to the G1 design but how different it is to the one we saw in the Bumblebee film, which shows more disregard to continuity (for those still clinging onto that within the live action Transformers films). Well we have more images of the Rise of the Beasts mainline deluxe toy below coming from both Reddit and kentan99 and we can see that the giant glasses can be removed. They are clear plastic though, so they did break in half in one instance, as we see in the images (may have been intentional, rather than accidental, we do not know yet). We also have a shot from PrimevsPrime showing what it may look like with the suspenders part properly transformed. As of now, no one has the instructions, so the accurate look/transformation is not 100% certain.

Let us know if this sways you into probably picking it up if you see him.

I LOVE every single aspects of that Wheeljack. And if people just can't accept him as "Wheeljack" just call him "Larry" or "Bob." No matter the name, it doesn't change the fact that the bot is a brilliant design with a very groovy vehicle mode.

I think it's a neat figure as well. The only two things that bother me are

1) The duck mouth. He doesn't need to have the G1 grill/mask. I get it; they want to use mouths to emote. But that particular design is off-putting to me.
2) I wish they had made the highlight color green instead of tan, as a reference to the G1 Wheeljack. A vintage army-ish green would look great on a camper van.

This is one of the dumbest things I’ve seen. Removable glasses on a robot. Gotta show people he’s the smart robot, we’ll make him a nerd, by giving him glasses. This is such 1980s frat boy thinking it’s ridiculous.

I don't see these as glasses now. The way they are designed, they are more like safety goggles and are similar to the kinds that scientists wear in the laboratory. That kind of adds to that "mad scientist" vibe. I'm curious to see the SS version compared to this one.

Removable glasses? Great now we can recreate all our favorite scenes from the movie, like this one:

We should probably wait until we see how he looks in the movie, I doubt the toy could do proper removable glasses without them being big and chunky on a non-SS figure. That's assuming they were meant to be removed in the first place.

Hey this is a bit of false advertising, This guy has a giant square peg hole in his forehead, the photo showing him with no hole is photoshopped by half screen mirroring the image making it look like he has a full face under the glasses

Wheeljack the type of silly bloke to say "you wouldn't hit a guy with glasses!" to an ultra-triggered Geewunner/BB movie fanboy

I don't think it's photoshopped, more like half of the glasses/goggle got snapped off.

Actually they're right if you look at one of the first pictures with the glasses off you do see a square hole

Yeah, the pic I quoted to make the DBZ joke is definitely photoshopped.

Still sucks ass, still a joke design that doesn't fit in a pg-13 movie about preventing the chaos bringer. Not that difficult to think of a design that fits the narrative. They're not goggles either, they're big dumb Beetlejuice glasses.

An easy nope. Baybots are a hard sell for me in the first place, but calling this Wheeljack just tells me they're just using names at random and really don't actually give a shit about the character. Y'all can have mine.

I’ll be passing on this one. So far the only non-Beast toy I’m interested in from this movie is Mirage and maybe Scourge.

And I just finished watching the ep of 'Scooby Doo and Guess Who?' where they met Urkel-bot, so I'll never be able to dissociate him from this version of Wheeljack.

Vicegripx on Instagram posted several more images of upcoming toys for Rise of the Beasts. They include Mainline Wheeljack and Cheetor along with Studio Series Airazor and Battletrap, showing you how they all scale with eachother. He also showed that it is possible to put the Bumblebee Wheeljack's head on the new Wheeljack, just as a fun mod. Here is what he says about that:

Look! I did a thing!
It’s a loose fit, so you’ll want to cram something else in there to get BBM Wheeljack’s head to stay on RotB Wheeljack’s body. You’ll also need to turn the head sideways to transform him.
