Earthrise Wheeljack Toy Review (with upgrades!)

One of the best modern updates to Wheeljack in a while, the new Earthrise toy is fantastic. But to complete his look, I've also upgraded him with labels from Toyhax and parts from TF Safari!

There was no doubt that I wanted him first. I'm a huge Wheeljack fan. I like him as a scientist or Wrecker.

Amazing Also funny, I just bought the earthrise wheeljack and the upgrade kit Thank you for the like RodimusPrimal, I've been a big fan of your retrospect on series and your like is the first time that one of my favorite KZbinrs actually does something like that

[@chuckcharlez]

Woah, that upgraded wheeljack is looking better than the actual release! Keep up the good work, friend!

Lol.

He's my first WFC toy, love him. Great review. I am impressed with your customization, this and all the others you've done. I could never do this, I have zero artistic abilities. But then again nostalgia is a big thing for me so having this near cartoon accurate one is awesome.

[@dong32117]

100% better with all the upgrades. Great review, thanks

[@justzillathekingofgames6867]

Wow the toy haux labels really help him pop. I might get those labels for my bro. My brother bought him at our local Walgreens, he really loves the figure. Great job man. Till all are one

[@davykeenan]

Great Review. I would have liked to see combiner wars Wheeljack in the video as I stopped my collection at Power of the Primes as just don't have space for the new trilogy figures. It is amazing seeing the mods too. Can't wait for the next review.

[@loutzenheiser6081]

Those Toyhax labels really change the look. I definitely like him more than his previous iteration.

[@varkadegames]

I like how the waist moves on your Wheeljack, and how you demonstrated his transformation. 👍 I scored a SIEGE Mirage at Ross for $7.99. Always check Ross and Marshall’s for Transformers. Left a Like. 😃✌️

[@donalmacthomais7584]

Wheeljack looks really good in this. He's always another fave of autobots of mine. He's the donatello of the autobots ha. Another Great video. Love your channel!

[@PrincetonPhalanx59]

Thanks for the review, he looks awesome. I already have the upgrade kit, but now I am going to have to get the toy hax labels to make him look as awesome.

[@RodimusPrimal]

Cool. As I mention in the video, you'll have to make adjustments for the spoiler but its otherwise awesome.

Hey man! Great presentation of not just the Toyhax stickers and the extra pieces that was added, but Wheeljack himself! Fantastic job on how the old and new comparison was shown. Awesome job as usual! Keep up the good work!👍👊

Love the transformation for this guy except for those front window pieces. Toyhax really adds some POP to Wheeljack and those upgrades are just the icing on the cake.

[@KatosKollection]

Man...these kits make a good figure into a great one 🤘😁🤘

[@robdrabkowski2708]

Rodimus, the reason that the car won't sit flat is because those shin gap fillers aren't on all the way. There's a trick to it. You have to insert the little tabs on the back part of the filler piece into the slot on the back of Wheeljack's leg. This is the tricky part. You have to hold the peg down in the slot while slipping the hole around the round 5mm port rim. Push it all the way down. The 5 mm rim should be level with the rim of the filler piece's hole. Now the part is locked in place and the car will sit more flush.

[@jonathonholifield5900]

All right cool man I've been eyeballing this guy on the shelf at Walmart like crazy I'm excited to see this I really am I haven't commented in awhile I hope you're doing good you seem like you're doing okay man and that's good I'm glad I know you were going through some stuff sometime back

[@AbsoluteBeta]

I’ll have to pick these up for my Wheeljack especially for the Dino Dad plate.

[@Skywarp-js9ne]

This wheel jack is amazing I just picked him up at Walmart for $10 it's so awesome it looks just like the original I love it I'm going to have to get the toy hack stickers and the TF Safari kit cuz the way he looked after that was just even more amazing they're doing a really good job with these arthritis I love them it's the whole reason I got back into transformers again

[@jasonstarprime4208]

Awesome review Rodimus Primal and I got to say this Wheeljack figure is pretty good keep on doing reviews till all are one

[@coldcutcomedynj5599]

I just received my wheel Jack as an early Christmas present from the wife. Now as far as the kingdom line toys go I have a lot not going to mention them all cuz I'd be here forever but personally wheeljack and hound are my two favorite ones. Just a clean design the lack of a backpack on both of them really hound has the fold up top part of the Jeep but even in the Kingdom cartoons for the war for Cybertron trilogy he had that that doesn't bother me and honestly love both their transformations

[@xhairstargetmaster6338]

I love Earthrise !!

[@johnrazvaliaeff]

I think I'm going to get that upgrade kit now. I absolutely hate stickers. It makes it look super cheap in my opinion but to each their own. I do really like how that kit fills in all the gaps and it does make a good improvement. The new spoiler does look cool but it takes away from the series look.

[@171QA]

I have Earthrise!Wheeljack and I do think the transformation is a little tricky but I do agree that I like his design a lot and maybe I’ll get some Toyhax stickers for him later on.

[@jessicawright9021]

Hi 171QA

[@jessicawright9021]

Hi

[@frankmarzig1972]

I had G1 Wheeljack and I have this and wow earthrise is superior! just watch those little windshields, if you want to transform him a lot that is a weak point and they will break quickly. I'd say buy a second one to transform often.

[@jackharpe3rd233]

Sorry for being late again Rodimus! Life's been at me again and I just became 26 two weeks ago. But hey we know what the great Prime says. ”Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing.” But another great review nonetheless! Also thanks for including the transformation again as well which is helpful in case we have difficulty doing it ourselves. And man the crafts man work on this is so well done, I have the feeling that if any newcomers to the series see it, they might mistaken it as a original G1 rereleased! The accuracy to the G1 show is so up there, it looks pretty much Identical to me at this point!

[@jackharpe3rd233]

Also because his name is Jack like me, feel like I should introduce myself a little more now, but I hope I don't sound offensive when I say this. Yes my account's name is in fact my name in real life, and I'm sticking to it unless I ever become a KZbinr someday, which I hope I will when the time is right. Unfortunately unlike you or WheelJack, I am not Italian. But I really Love Pizza, Stilleto Switchblades, and when it comes to Vehicles I do want to drive and maybe own a Isseta which was basically an early day Smart Car from the 50's and early 60's by Iso Motors who sold the rights to BMV. Also cause Squeeks looks Adorable, I would like to own a Vespa as well eventually.

[@michealcormier2555]

The one big thing I wish they would have done for G1 was to add a dioclone minifigure of Sparkplug, Spike, Carly, Daniel and Chip to the line.

[@AbsoluteBeta]

But what about Raul (I don’t know how to spell his name) especially since it looks pretty likely that we are getting a Kingdom Tracks.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I totally agree with you that this version really scaled with the others

[@CannonFodder93]

He's on my top priority list. I'm looking forward to getting him when I have the chance. Even without Toyhax labels, he looks pretty great. 😁

[@raisethe3]

Good review! Its a great Wheeljack figure.

[@TFfangeek]

Epic review RodimusPrimal!!!!!!!! :D Those upgrades really help make Wheeljack shine. :D Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D

[@decadeprime8116]

Awesome toy review and decals review too and I leave a like Rodimus your still awesome and cool and I hope you stay safe

[@TravTrevTV]

I reccomend tranforming the wings and legs first, then bringing the chest down, rotating the torso, and transforming the head and arms Its much faster

[@tchallaomoro8281]

The WFC trilogy is without a doubt the best mainline Transformers iteration to date. This is the best WHEELJACK figure ever next to the MP version. However, he does need upgrades as most HASBRO figures do. I do not like how WHEELJACK has no proper weapon out the box. It’s HASBRO BS clearly and typically. But thank goodness for third party to correct that. Also, I’m a firm believer in reprolabels. One should always strive to make their figures look as best they can, especially since so many of us really love and appreciate these robot action figures.

[@JohnWilliams-wl9px]

I keep the default blaster as a wielder instead of a blaster, it’s Wheeljacker he’s a weirder he needs something to make his crazy inventions

[@honestlyimhappy615]

I have siege wheel jack and it’s pretty cool, although I don’t get why siege transformers toys are so hard to transform, it might just be me but it’s very hard to transform siege Cliffjumper. nice review!

Nice review!

[@karlmueller1980]

He looks great I want to get Him for my collection and I also want to get the upgrade kit for him too.

[@dryceraidfanficksyoutube]

A word of advice, before adding the feet fillers: To make sure that the front part of WheelJack's vehicle mode is flat, so that the front wheels touch the ground, is to *sand them flat* , before adding them on. Emgo316 has the same problem with those upgrade parts....

[@RodimusPrimal]

I might not keep them on his legs. But it is something to take note of.

[@minitower]

Great review

[@RodimusPrimal]

Thanks!

Now you just need to repaint him black and green like Cybertron Downshift lol

Great review....Aww no love for CW Wheeljack. 😉

[@RodimusPrimal]

Nah. No love for forced combiners.

[@diegos7337]

I got this Wheejack an the Master Piece Version! They are so awesome! I think this ER Wheeljack is the best of all Wheeljacks aside from the Master Piece one! This is a MUST GET! I don´t think on getting the Upgrade kits, but they look amazing! I am definitely getting them for Exaust to make him a totally diffrent character from Wheeljack!

[@robertj.3383]

Those openings on the legs probably wouldn't have been there if the upper legs just slid in and out. And I might get that upgrade kit.

[@Huneidu]

I hope kingdom gives us all five of the G1 Dinobots so he can be a Dinodad and Ratchet a Dinomom.

[@marcshep77]

I bought both Siege and Earthrise. Siege is a tad more sturdy. Earthrise Wheeljack arm joints are a tad weak and fall out joint after awhile

[@myriadmediamusings]

The one I wanted the most in Earthrise after Sky Lynx, and I’m annoyed I didnt get him sooner because he’s a lot harder to find for me now.

[@RodimusPrimal]

Hope you can still find him in stores. If not, I have an Amazon link in the description.

[@tchallaomoro8281]

I have a custom idea to buy another GRAPPLE once he gets clearanced down in price at Walmart and Target and paint him green to create HAULER.

[@RodimusPrimal]

You never know if he will end up as a Generations Selects by this time next year though.

[@tchallaomoro8281]

RodimusPrimal that’s true. But I love to paint and customize, so until then I’m gonna make my own. LOL

[@nightblockprimecraft9284]

personally wheeljack should have the gorilla hands we see in bumblebee that are an homage to the original G1 wheeljack figure

[@Attunahbrix]

Nice review Rodimus. ~Dex™.

[@pauld3694]

I'd have to say he's certainly one of the best modern Wheeljacks as well (I've got several). I was excited for the previous Generations Wheeljack, but I couldn't understand why he's so stocky... I even just recently got the Tracks retool of that mold, and Tracks stands just a bit taller... I think they made Tracks thighs longer. Why couldn't they do that for Wheeljack? But Earthrise Wheeljack is also great (I too think he's a tad short), but my biggest problem is those windshield pieces always falling out... I wish there was an upgrade kit for that. I might just try to mod it myself. That's the worst thing about this version; even more so than short wings IMO. But it still is a great version of the character, even stock.

[@shamimsultana3990]

Can you please use the old spoiler as blades for wheel jack

[@Demondscott]

Wow! This wheeljack is awesome! Are they still available? I’d like to get one.And that mirage as well. I was going to say something about his stock numbers because I know the G1 had”539” on the side.But wow with the added stuff he looks amazing(except the coloring of the windshield) just my opinion.But your review was amazing and informative. I definitely want one.Could you give me a link to the place where you got the decals?Thanks!

Can you review earthrise optimus and ironhide because I see you got better lighting and a nice review.

[@warriorking4ever]

I was putting serious thought into adding Wheeljack to my collection (him being one of my top three autobots alongside Grimlock & Optimus Prime), but heard he will be released again as part of the Kingdom line, would you recommend picking him up now or waiting for the re-release? The Golden Disk collectible gimmick does sound more fun to me than the Star Map gimmick.

My Wheeljack legs are loose and the window piece on the legs tend to fall off easily when transforming

I was kind of a fan of unite warriors WheelJack based on its deco and stature but the overall mold didn’t fit the character. Earthrise is def my favorite.

Both look great. I wanted one that had the wings and spoiler work together though. The Nonnef one looks good but the wings would need labels or paint since in car mode they aren't as hidden. I do like the weapons it comes with though.

[@trycon40]

@@RodimusPrimal true

[@shamimsultana3990]

Also can you add the new upgrade kit on exhaust

[@RodimusPrimal]

You can but the color is slightly off since Exhaust is more of a pure white while Wheeljack is an off-white color and the upgrade parts match the toy. However it will work him though. I'm hoping for a designated one soon.

Genuine question as Im not familiar with the Earthrise line, why would people collect this and not say Masterpiece?

The fact that you have to spend more on upgrades than the original figure itself to make it look decent is just a travesty!

I agree and with everything rising in cost overall, its becoming more difficult to do so. However, the upgrades do make the figure that much better.
