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. Generations Wheeljack is a repaint and retool of Generations Turbo Tracks, and will be released in Generations Wave 7, alongside the likes of Thundercracker. Wheeljack is set for release in the next few weeks. The packaging image has been mirrored below!

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 :-)

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

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.

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.

No, it's not.

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

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! :KREMZEEK:

Yus!!! Looks amazing!! I have mine on order from BBTS as well!! it's the 3 pack of Wheeljack, Thundercracker and Warpath :D 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.

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.

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. ;)

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 ;)

Posted by T-Macksimus on February 20th, 2011 @ 9:33pm CST
Most certainly NOT thrilled that this is just a Tracks repaint with a different head sculpt. Wheeljack was the first Autobot I owned way back in the 80's so I have something of a bit of strong attachment to this character. The Downshift version of him is a better tribute to his original style than this in my opinion. I won't dismiss getting him entirely just yet but I've already had Tracks in hand once this last week and left him on the shelf, in part because of his body style. Hasbro better be able to impress the **** out of me with this one once I have it under my nose at the store.

wow is the guy above being serious? i see no smilies? can't please everyone :lol:

i do like the use of the tracks mold though, will probably get the generations version over the united version

not a fan of the wrench type weapons, and hope some one does and add-on kit with better wings, weapons and shoulder cannon for him

thanks hasbro, you did well

I can't wait for Wheeljack. I'm a little dissapointed he doesn't have a gun either but he has his shoulder missle which makes me very happy. :grin:

Does anyone else think this mold could make a good Runabout and Runamuck?
Re: In Package Image of Generations Wheeljack (1184970)
Posted by Stockade on February 21st, 2011 @ 6:16am CST
Looks good, but still leaning towards United version due to the metallic paint and the brighter white.
Re: In Package Image of Generations Wheeljack (1184981)
Posted by Jazz-1982 on February 21st, 2011 @ 6:46am CST
I think Transformers United have had better paint jobs across the board so far except for this guy. Hasbro's version looks much better, I don't know why Takara Tomy have used that stupid dark green metallic paint which ruins the figure.
I'll be paying extra to get the Hasbro Wheeljack and canceling my pre-order for the United one. :BOT:

Hey now! no need to get outspoken about a freakin toy man! i was just saying that I still favor United version than Hasbro version and thats my story and im sticking too it. Some of us are Hasbro fans and some are Takara fans you know.

Hey, sorry - I didn't actually see your comment before I posted mine. It wasn't meant to be an aggressive or argumentative response to your opinion or anything, just coincidence that we were both talking about the metallic paint!

I have preferred all of the United versions up until now - I live in Japan so it suits me fine. I think the metallic paint has looked good on probably all of the other United figures that they've used it on (especially Megatron, thought not sure if they needed to bother on Scourge) but I just like the traditional plain green that Hasbro have used more than the metallic green that TT have used this time.
Re: In Package Image of Generations Wheeljack (1185000)
Posted by Jazz-1982 on February 21st, 2011 @ 7:58am CST
If I seemed a little p***ed off it's because my preference is going to cost me an extra $10-15!!

I decided to cancel my pre-orders for Wheeljack and Scourge and get the Hasbro versions instead (plus I already have Generations Cliffjumper).

TT won all the rest;

Rumble & Frenzy
Blurr
Perceptor
Kup
Wreck-Gar
Jazz
Tracks
Grapple
Straxus
Lugnut
Soundwave
Megatron

I'm preferring the Takara-Tomy version still, even though I'd tend to agree with many here about the green paint. The factor is simply the white plastic; I much prefer this over the dull hue that Hasbro chose.

EDIT: Actually, going by what few pictures are available, it's hard to tell if the United version's plastic actually is a shinier white, or the same colour as Hasbro's version. Hopefully we'll see some good comparison pics soon.

Have mine on pre-order from BBTS, and my Pile-Of-Loot is on.

As for when it will be in stores?
Seriously?

:lol:

April, if you're lucky.
