Jetfire vs. Wheeljack: who to get?

Curious what some of the top players think. I haven’t used JF since his update. Should I grab a 5* JF tomorrow and take him to r4? Or wait till WJ comes around? I’m in no rush and don’t need either for high level AM. My concerns are resources and grinding out all the achievements in order to unlock their signatures. Hate to do it twice. Thanks guys

Thanks in advance
Well you can't get a 5* wheeljack anyway but honestly I'm greedy and want both.
For me I've always loved wheeljack's force shield and I just find Jetfire fun to play
If you get Jetfire now, there’s a chance that by the time Wheeljack finally comes around as a featured bot, you’ll have another 1m chips.
Uhh no. Maybe without nanorepair but otherwise WJ has amazing utility if played correctly. You also need to parry to be able to heal regularly with JF which is risk vs reward.
There is a reason 4* WJ is still used in d100+.
You need to hold block for 1 to activate the heal (which is only available once his health drops below 75%). That healing effect does consume Energy charges, so it may backfire if not used carefully.
I see. What I dislike about WJ's kit is the randomness of gaining Upgrades and inflicting Debuffs on his Specials, while nearly everything in JF's kit is guaranteed to proc.
I saw potential in jetfire to start but WJ still wins out in most situations. Approaching sig 100 his heal may be better but that’s a long way off for just about everyone.
