Transformers RISE OF THE BEASTS Deluxe Class WHEELJACK Review

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Let me know how I can improve my reviews down below! Some feedback would be much appreciated 🙏🏻 thanks guys! 🤓

[@smallstudiofilms6632]

Okay now hear me out, since he is a van, I wouldn’t have minded if he was a small voyager. By small voyager I mean a even bigger than bumblebee but not as close to Prime’s height.

[@mrmanpersonguy5812]

The problem I have with Wheeljack being a "new take" on the character's design is that it's the only one of the Autobots in the movie that we've seen do this. Arcee has differences in her ROTB design compared to G1, but she's still recognizable as the character. All they really had to do was either have the Bumblebee movie head on the body, or just not call him Wheeljack and it'd be fine. It's just strange to have him not look like Wheeljack among characters who look like the characters they're supposed to be.

[@SlickZero1028]

Exactly, especially as it’s not like Wheeljack has been used to death in the live action movies.

[@The_Toonami-AdultSwim_fan2002]

Well I've been trying to tell you guys that we should've renamed this Wheeljack by his product codename "Barcelona" since his Deluxe figure's vehicle mode has a logo that says "TV Pablo" the whole time but since y'all never listen?? I decided to no longer make Wheeljack my favorite Autobot anymore since I already said I'm only seeing this movie for the Maximals,Mirage,Scourge, and Battletrap, and no one else since it's obvious Wheeljack's the "only" Transformers character that the ENTIRE fandom cares about.

[@tylerferron9019]

I think the thing with this Particular wheeljack is that it is supposed to be the same wheeljack from the BB movie, so a lot of the anger about his design comes from the fact that he changed his design between the two movies so drastically. I really like the fact that he's a brown van, but for continuity's sake I wish that his head at least had the side wings.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Yeah I can see that point to be honest. Doesn’t really make sense for Prime, Bee & Arcee to be similar but for wheeljack to be so different :( I wonder why they changed him

It’s also worth remembering that this is a mainline deluxe, not studio series. Looking at the trailer, the body is totally different and considering how Arcee’s toy used the concept art/control art head, there could be a chance wheeljack in the movie looks more like wheeljack

[@PrimeVsPrime]

That’s very true! It could be quite different in the movie

[@Sbungo61]

The body is not different at all, the roof is 8n the back, the car door wings are there and the wheels in the shoulders too. What are you smoking?

[@somerelativleyuninterestin4763]

@@Sbungo61 I mean to say he’s very much visually leaner in the few bits we’ve seen. Plus while you’re right about the wheels and wings the roof of the van isn’t on his back

[@Sbungo61]

@@somerelativleyuninterestin4763 yeah that's just because the screen design cheats a lot and the same can be said about arcee, who's just a red robot with two wheels on the back, and bumblebee who's car hood shrinks while transforming. The toy is better than the screen model and looks as it should

Ironically mainline Airazor is more accurate than the studio series. These mainline deluxes might end up far more accurate.

I'm hoping that the Optimus primal figure isn't horrible, he needs to be like In the trailer and I hope he has the chain thing that connects the swords.

[@The_Toonami-AdultSwim_fan2002]

Even if Primal's figure would be good or not? I'd rather get him over Barcelona, also I decided to rename this character by his codename "Barcelona" since I couldn't stand the Wheeljack fans' whining over this anymore and also his Deluxe Class figure's Van mode says "TV Pablo" on it.

[@Bmontepeque11]

In terms of the design I don't really mind the redesign :) But I think the problem comes from seeing the Cybertron scene of Bumblebee! That scene is just glorious and promised us to have vibrantly colorful Live Action G1 designs and that still carries on to most characters except Bumblebee and Wheeljack, but we still saw Bee as a Beetle on his movie, so I think thag difference between "Cool G1 Wheeljack in Cybertron" and "Nerdy G1 from ROTB" is what causes all of this backlash 🤔 If this was the Bayverse or anything else I think no one would mind :)

[@kingnewcomer2029]

I'm still not entirely sure as to why most of the other Transformers veterans have kept their classic designs, but, Wheeljack doesn't? Maybe they'll explain it in the film, which I hope they do, and perhaps even his new glasses will become his iconic side-speakers, that'd be awesome! If that does end up being the case, then I hope they start off with the glasses first, and then later down the line they end up becoming his side-speakers just to show the veteran TF fans that G1 WJ isn't completely gone! I think the figure itself is also rather interesting. I do wonder if his weapon can also be stored underneath his Alt Mode since there is a pretty big gap below the van?

All they needed was to give us a few more Wheeljack details. The van is callback to being that cubed van from the first episode of the G1 cartoon.

[@schmidington]

It's a cool looking figure. I rather like the transformation. Like most, I'm really hoping they offer an acceptable explanation for such a drastic change in design between the Cyberton and Earth versions of the character. I understand your point about possibly leading to fresh character designs for newer fans, but we still got Bumblebee as a VW and a Camaro without the robot mode changing that much. The alt-mode really does make sense, especially considering Lancia is not a manufacturer known for having an automotive presence in the U.S. It never made much sense to me how G1Jazz and Wheeljack *maybe even Smokescreen?) got their alt-modes unless there was some rally event going on when scanning began.

[@usermessless8335]

[@PrimeVsPrime]

I agree! Would’ve been cool had they got the license

[@grand_max66]

I'd be fine with the redesign if he shared literally just 1 single element with his BB design. The fins or even the faceplate was all he needed, but there is absolutely 0 design consistency between the two designs or even 90% of all other Wheeljack designs, instead it's just a downgrade to the "Nerd" stereotype from a far better design. This would be like if AOE Optimus didn't even have an Optimus-like head but instead one that just looked like a human wearing a Football helmet, or like how TLK Megatron looks absolutely nothing like AOE Galvatron with no explanation, and once you start drawing parallels to TLK that's a problem. Cause if there's one this franchise has remained consistent in the past 40 years is that if a character got a new form from scanning it and not from an external source was they shared at least 1 design element with the previous body mainly in the head.

Solid deluxe. Engineering and detail really brings back the feel/intracity of the ROTF line which has been missing for a good long time now. I like how the focus of these modern day figures is keeping the articulation consistent and non restricted. Nice to see arms/legs not hindered by obnoxious kibbly bits as well as a propper waist articulation. My thoughts anyway on this and the Legacy Bulkhead which is pretty decent. Loved the action shots at the beginning and the teaser for Leader Class Scourge. That looks like all kinds of epic and can't wait for the review.

I think redesigns are good so long as they do not completely remove any sign of the original source material. They're supposed to be the same character, so it doesn't feel right when this iteration of Wheeljack bears no similarity whatsoever to the countless other versions we've seen in the past apart from the name. If the redesign is so drastic to the point you can't even tell it's Wheeljack by looking at it, then why call it Wheeljack in the first place?
