It took a couple decades... but they got it right! Certainly an improvement on Energon 'jack.

Looks awesome!! Still hard to tell if that's actually totally white, or if it's the same duller hue as used with Jazz. Looks amazing though, I might even get this instead of the UN version.

Another must have and a long wait.

Fantastic. Wheeljack is one of my favourite G1 characters, and they got it perfect. Looks even better than tracks - they've even gone and painted the insides of the doors silver! Not quite digging the spanner idea, but I'll store them on his back panel, and I may even use Track's gun as they have here.

Both Hasbro and United versions looks good, but im finding out im leaning more towards the United Wheeljack cause of the brighter white, the Green metallic stripe and the painted silver ear tabs. Or i may get both and keep the United version in MISB!! sooo many options out there.

Yes! So right on. I'm thrilled about this toy. The Tracks mold is excellent, other than being a tad short, and I'm very glad this doesn't have a stupid rubsign but instead has a proper Autobot symbol. Wheeljack can't get to my desk fast enough! :KREMZEEK:

Nice.
I`d hit, but i`m not sure i will ever see him alive (shops in my area iz still full with 2007 movie toys).
Shame that he is repaint - he`s gonna be first and only for this mold. This car model suits Wheeljack best.

I think I'll be getting the Generations version, the white is really nice pure white unlike what we've been used to from Hasbro lately, but the main thing I prefer over the United version is the clear ear bits he has, a shame their not blue (along with his eyes which are also not blue) but atleast their clear!

Looks awesome. Can't wait to find this at Walmart next year.

Hands down, this is a must have. I actually prefer him in a dull, off white, as apposed to the snow white of United Drift and Jazz, makes it look like he's had a few incidents and paint jobs.

Damn you Hasbro for not continuing Generations in the UK! :sad:

The perfect Wheeljack!! Well done Hasbro & Takara Tomy.

I'm going with Hasbro on Wheeljack as I prefer the white they've used and love the red and green stripes.
I'm personally not a fan of the metallic green used on United's.

Loving the looks of Wheeljack here. It's not often, but I'm going the US/Hasbro route for this one. *phew!*

Yeah, he looks good, but does he come with both guns as shown in the pics? I don't see both in the official photos.

Both guns?

He has both wrenches/missiles. You can see them on the vehicle mode. That mold only has one proper gun.

Can't wait until I get mine! He'll look so good with the rest of my autobots. Hurry up BBTS!

Have they removed Tracks' knee caps? It looks like they have! Between that, the head, the wrenches, and the feet, this a substantial retool! (Well, not a retool since I'm sure all the parts were on the original sprue, but you get my meaning).

Looks amazing, nice bright white. I can safely say I'll get the Hasbro version of this guy.

Hasbro, thank you for making this for me. You heard me, it's just for me!

Im honestly confused about all this talk with guns and wrenches and the right numbers of them. But I was not a fan of the tracks mold...however this retool is glorious.

Posted by T-Macksimus on February 23rd, 2011 @ 11:01am CST

*sigh* Looks like I need to suck it up and admit that, after grumbling about the initial pics of this guy, I'm actually impressed. I'm not 100% giddy or anything but I'm a LOT more impressed with this new figure than I was initially. Since I'll probably have him in bot mode more often than not, I'm ready to add this to my 'Buy on sight' list.

That vehicle mode is beautiful...Too bad you could get side by side photos of him next to Tracks

Yeah, that's my fault. :lol:

Wheeljack comes with two wrenches and one gun. The toy in the picture is shown with two guns, one's from Turbo Tracks, to imitate a 1980s Wheeljack look.

So, to re-iterate, Wheeljack comes with 2x Wrenches and 1x Gun.

Sorry for the confusion :KREMZEEK:

Love this guy. Not a huge fan of the feet. don't hate them, just could have been a bit better. Still swooping him up asap though.

Re: Toy Images of Transformers Generations Wheeljack (1186153)
Posted by ShardFenix on February 23rd, 2011 @ 4:08pm CST

ok the whole time i was like...i swear wheeljack only had one gun...which was true..so know its all cleared up sweet.

On a sidenote I am getting tired of transformers having lame weapons(wrenches) or no handheld weapons at all(perceptor) I mean was making a sniper rifle just too much?

I feel the same way! I got into Transformers recently and watched the G1 cartoon with the wife. Wheeljack became one of my favorites right away, and then this toy was revealed. I was psyched. I can't wait to scoop him up!

Looks great !!! Thinking about keeping the rocket launchers tucked inside his backpack and looking foer a shoulder cannon that fits. Or maybe just keep the right rocket launcher out. It works on Tracks.

Excellent alt mode. WJ always had my favourite paint job of any of the G1 cars and this release is no different. That car and it's retooling look amazing!! Great bot mode too. Near perfect classics representation.

Holy crap on a cracker.

As a Classics/Neo-Classics collector, I think this was definitely worth the five-year wait. Bravo, Hasbro. :APPLAUSE:
