Wheeljack is packaged in the standard window box for the line, including images, logo’s and the number of steps of transformation on the front, images on the sides, and the back includes a description, and a screen shot from the movie.
Wheeljack is a repackaged and dedeco release from Transformers: Devastation Wheeljack, along with a redeco of Transformers War for Cybertron: Earthrise Wheeljack, and this release is much more cartoon and movie accurate. This release does not have the Transformers: Devastation cel-shaded deco on the windshield that last years offering had, as that is the major difference between these two releases. In addition, he comes with a second blaster that was offered in the Autobots Stand United multi-pack of 2024. His Autobot logo is seen on the upper portion of his chest, which is red and white.
He comes in his G1 accurate colors, including white, charcoal, red, green, a light blue windshield, light grey, silver hubcaps, and black racing numbers 638 on the sides of the legs and doors in vehicle mode.
His articulation includes a ball jointed head, swivel-hinged shoulders, swivel-hinged elbows, swivel wrists, swivel waist, swivel-hinged hips, swivel thighs, hinged knees, and swivel ankles.
His head sculpt looks great and accurate to the source material, including the three pieces sticking up on the top of the head, blue eyes, and a charcoal and grey head sculpt.
Wheeljack includes two blasters, a long one, and a short one. They can be placed in either hand, and placed on the 5mm ports on the forearms. The short blaster can also be placed through the slots on the sides next to the head, so he has a shoulder mounted blaster as seen in the cartoon.
Here is a comparison of Wheeljack with his War for Cybertron: Siege and Earthrise releases. You can clearly see the differences in deco as this is a far more G1 accurate release.
Wheeljack transforms into a race car, which retains all of the colors as his robot mode. As stated above, the cel-shaded deco from the Devastation release was removed from the windshield, which is now all in light blue deco. The small blaster can also be stored on the hood.
Overall, Wheeljack is an excellent figure with a great likeness to the source material, along with a great and accurate vehicle mode. This is an excellent release and one you need to own if you don’t have the Autobot Multipack of 2024. Make sure to grab him now at BigBadToyStore for $27.99.
