I was a g1 guy...an old man. I saw someone mention there is a version of Wheeljack that came after g1 that would fit as a demo bot. Anyone know which version this is?

    Wheeljack was my favorite toy because he was metal and solid and awesome. I'm excited to have him on my team when he comes.

    It's from Dreamwave's Armada More than Meets the Eye catalog.

    I watched this whole episode just now...he was a Bada$$ warrior. Definitely a swordmaster synergy guy. They even mention he's a warrior class..but it's weird seeing him as anything but an engineer though. That's how I've known him for over 35 years.

    I don't know if it means anything or just someone pick of a word but for a couple different versions of Wheeljack he is referred to as a warrior in the bios I found. Neither here nor there when it comes to the game but it is all related to Hasbro and they are supposed to have a heavy influence on how things go so you never know. With all things relating him to science and engineering on average though, tech is the natural class to put him in. I don't think this armada Wheeljack is ugly, pretty cool imo, just not good looking as Wheeljack. He would be better as Sideswipe which I thought he was in some version when I first saw him and for good reason, he was modeled using SS's features according to Hasbro. With his story I figured him as a good Demo class cuz after left in a pile of burning debris and Hot Shot not coming back for him (only cuz he was ordered not to go back) Wheeljack gets rescued by Megatron, defects to the Decepticons and turns into fighting **** hell bent on getting back at the Autobots namely Hot Shot. ws8wizpike57.jpg

    This. He uses his swords but loves grenades.

    Are there other episodes in the prime series with Wheeljack? In the above episode he doesn't use a single bomb/grenade aside from the final one that gets attached to Make Shift. He is again referenced to a warrior because of "Lobbing" that big rock around because "that is something the warrior class is known for on Cybertron" as stated. I will admit, I enjoy watching episodes here and there but not really a fan of this series, it seems to be a step up from the Robots in Disguise series. As the op said, I'm old and was there for the start in the early 80s so I love all things OG and anything that follows in that style with more detail and depth. I have had a hard time accepting a new series when someone comes along and completely changes the look/art and storyline goes out the window. I still don't understand beast wars and what Michael Bay has done. I will say that I won't be looking forward to kabam bringing bots from other series, just my opinion. Anyone know if they do that in MCOC? I guess Hasbro will have the say. Sorry if I got off topic.

    This isn’t the only episode Wheeljack appears in, as he becomes a main character in Season 3 and following into the series finale with Predacons Rising.

    Here are some amazing fights, I think this is one of the instances Wheeljack shines:

    Wheeljack vs. Soundwave:

    Ultra Magnus, Wheeljack, and Bulkhead vs. Predaking:

    As for final thoughts, I think Wheeljack would be fitting as a cross between a Demolitions and Warrior.

    The point is, a lot of them are warriors. It's the way in which they fight, that gives them their class. Ultra Magnus was leader of those warriors, but he isn't a warrior class - but still a warrior.

    Wheeljack... the three most important words in the Cybertronian language.
