Transformers Wheeljack Teased on War for Cybertron Siege Springer Box

Wonder how big Astrotrain will be? Shockwave (Voyager) or Magnus Big?

Here’s to hoping Wheeljack’s altmode will look like how he appeared in the first episode of the G1 cartoon.

Spinister just got revealed so high chance that Wheeljack will be on WFC2 line.

Not good enough for me. Trailbreaker AKA my favorite bot needs an original mold, but similarly sized to Ironhide. He needs to have size and presence.

i find it weird, but it is welcome. I may be one of 12 people in the world who liked Rebirth, so I am OK with cartoon faces for all from those episodes.

Isn't it enough that we have to get three exact copies of the same action-figure in order to get the full character?

BTW, anyone got him yet? Any good?

I did! Got 2 of them last week in stores, still trying to get my 3rd.

They are really cool and really fun. As individuals they are great, but I really want to see the camera mode. That is the mode I plan to display them in and use for photos. (haha, puns).

I plan to focus on my new Siege guys next week and the week after for my deskbot shots and thoughts, I'm on the Beast high right now.

I am with you. Wheeljack needs wrenches and such! and he needs a spare wrench so I can give it to Nautica!

I think that in Wheeljack's case that won't be happening. If it does it will involve shellforming shenanigans.

But I think Wheeljack might be more in line with his original transformation scheme (or that of the Generations toy), with Sunstreaker as a reshell.

Yeah, this being the kind of line that tries to double as vaguely Earth mode-esque, Wheeljack will definitely remain a car. Maybe a much more cubic one with details that call back to his pilot episode altmode but there is no way we're getting that cubic hovercraft thing. Unfortunately.

Exactly. They could pull it off well enough with a Cybertronian robot mode, but because they're using his Earthly robot mode with its rounded windshield chest doing the boxy car mode would take shellforming.

I'd love to see some front/hood decal or moldings which reference the front of his Cybertronian mode, as well as a big square spoiler in the back to vaguely evoke his 'floating box mode' even as a car. Or just making him a very square car.

What the hell!!?!?

I posted about wheeljack four days ago on the siege thread and was told it’s old news and nothing new.

Guess it just matters who’s running the site on certain nights....

did you submit it to the news team?

Well that’s lame and I lost track of that amidst the news of the day. I’m just as responsible as anybody and I apologize. Nothings ever done to sleight anyone deliberately I promise you. Hey, I am truly sorry and I want to say we always appreciate any and all help with news. I think things do get mixed up as humans are apt to do.

This isn't new at all, Wheeljacks been showing up in siege artwork ever since the optimus prime siege poster handed out last year...
