I personally prefered the more diverse, evolved designs of, say, Prime Wars or Generations, however I am still very pleased with the quality of these figures and think that hasbro has hit their stride with the SS and WFC lines...
I love this figure! My first of Earthrise and they did my favorite Transformer proud. My biggest issue is the lack of accessories. His shoulder cannon should be bigger and he needs more stuff like a pair of wrenches. I've made up for this by giving him Ratchet's wrench. I just wish he came with one of those from the get go as I quite like it's look and it fits Wheeljack nicely. Overall though they did an amazing job of essentially taking the masterpiece Wheeljack and boiling it down to a deluxe class price point. While I really like cartoon accuracy, I prefer him having all the extra printed detail. It's also why I prefer the original masterpiece over the re-release with the very plain cartoon paint job.
sees transformers video upload hits like button watches video. so much yes on this wheeljack. he was one of the G1 autobots i was never able to get as kid in the 80s.
100% agree as I also prefer the G1 Cartoon blue windows, and bright white plastic. When I got the Earthrise Wheeljack a couple of months ago, I had to repaint him within the first week of having him, lol! That said, this Wheeljack is almost everything we could have wanted, as a perfect homage to the G1 Toy. I hope someone makes a larger/longer Wheeljack shoulder cannon while the one he come with can just be a gun. =P Also, the hole int he pack can be used to create the rocket backblast effect he's had a few times when firing it. On a side note, I know you've mentioned that Wheeljack was your favorite character, and it was weird to hear your voice being so down or depressed almost, during the review. If you watch the MP or CW reviews, you were much more happier about those, even when the Combiner Wars figure was crap in comparison to the original Generations one. I hope you're doing okay, brother. Keep up the good work! =P
Great review! As a huge Wheeljack fan myself, I was really impressed with how solid this figure is in both modes. I can’t really put my finger on it, but I like this one more than the Masterpiece version (which I love). I think a lot of it has to do with this toy’s solid legs and amazing head sculpt.
They should do a 3 season with 14-29 episode of G1 Transformers set in the 80's. They can do so much things with that and touch on history that actually happen during does times. Animated style and not this CGI stuff. Think of Avatar last airbender, good story that touches current issues from past to now. Limited to 3 season can have a beginning and an end.
Grabbed him yesterday at Best Buy. Really slick figure. The parts that form the front windshield pop off really easily on minw but it's no big deal. I'm loving Earthrise so far!
@@optibotimus Best Buy dude. They've been getting a lot of Primes around here too from what I've heard. They had a few Grapples, Hoists and Wheeljacks when I stopped Sunday.
They have on shapewways different Wing panel options for Earthrise Wheeljazk to give him the MP look. That’s what I’m planning on doing, since I agree with you regarding the wing panels being short
Lancia stratos. A legendary offroad rally car. Supposedly very uncomfortable to drive though. The pedals are in the center of the car lol.. I think it was designed as a center single seater. Then they squeezed in 2 seats last minute. beautiful car tho!
Now this is a very nice new version of Wheeljack, the Generations version has a slightly better looking race car mode, but not by much, it's just whiter than this new one. They really should have given him better looking weapons, Wheeljack deserves that much at least, and on a side note, I really like the packaging for Earthrise, must be the color scheme. If you watch the Transformers Cyberverse cartoon, you'll see Wheeljack! He's pretty funny and he's an inventor like his G1 counterpart, check it out, Paul! But the Prime Wheeljack was also really cool as a Wrecker, not afraid of anything, now there's an idea, let's all watch Transformers Prime during this Covid-19 crisis, it will pass the time quicker! Awesome review, Paul!
I got him today and am having issues with transforming him into the vehicle mode. His shoulders/arms don't want to tab in without a LOT of effort. Any advice?
Mushroom pegs that would slide out fairly easily seems to have been a thing since at least Titans Return (that little Muppet McBastard SKULLCRUNCHER). I'm surprised you didn't compare it to the old Generations Wheeljack. That was a really good figure, too...and still stands as my Classics Era Wheeljack until I can get the Earthrise one OR KuBianBao gets off their collective roody-poo candy asses and makes a "MP20D" downsized KO of MP20 Wheeljack. (Now THAT would be awesome, much like MP10V, the Voyager sized KO of MP10 Optimus Prime 2.0...yesss.)
And his shoulder cannon has a hole so you can extend it and make it look better like this >>www.tfw2005.com/boards/attachments/20200207_083151-1-1-jpg.28530011/
I’m 42 years old and still LOVE collecting figs!! It’s an obsession 😁
I don’t judge.
You say 'slavish' to the G1 look as if that's a BAD thing 😁..personally I'm in freakin' heaven!! VERY happy with this entire line.
I personally prefered the more diverse, evolved designs of, say, Prime Wars or Generations, however I am still very pleased with the quality of these figures and think that hasbro has hit their stride with the SS and WFC lines...
I feel you, I'm just glad they're getting it out the way now for some hopefully more creative takes in the future
Seriously. There’s a reason why these are flying off the shelf while others end up as peg warmers. G1 above all!
Earth rise is the best line transformers !
I got him today, and amazing figure !
Glad to see a such a sleek new wheeljack, my first ever autobot right there (but he was called downshift in that line lol)
I’m happy with this wave! Gotta get him and cliffjumper
If you switch the wings around, then they sit closer together because the peg pivot points are at an off-set position. Pic: i.imgur.com/TBzY2E9.jpg

I love how they brought in aspects of the new "Lancia" Stratos in this one!! ^w^

watches video. so much yes on this wheeljack. he was one of the G1 autobots i was never able to get as kid in the 80s.

Earthrise Rules!
Flying Scotsman productions5242 that also Rules.
Maybe it's not l, but maybe the reason the rims are the off colored red is brake dust. Just a thought.
Great figure! But the question is? Wheeljack never transformed in the series
His card will make a fine addition to my collection
I wish they given more blue windows!
For those complaining about the lack of accessories and short wings, check out Nonnef Productions Wheeljack upgrade kit...
Wheeljack’s Gun Reminds me of TF Devastation Grenade Launcher
This wheeljack is fantastic..
Found mine at Best Buy , weird days these been

I got this one today and I love it I love how his looks it’s so 80’s it’s so beautiful
Recommended to watch this video review
I needed to consult a review when I thought I was about to break the tab his head is on. I hope it does loosen because wow that's way too tight.
I got this guy today in Walgreens lol
Grabbed him yesterday at Best Buy. Really slick figure. The parts that form the front windshield pop off really easily on minw but it's no big deal. I'm loving Earthrise so far!

NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT THE GALVATON ON THE TOP OF THE BOX
Heya, Paul!!
I can't wait for this. Unfortunately it's the pandemic
Yeah the same thing that happens to my wheeljack the arm pops off

Looks like the Generations and United Wheeljacks will be cheaper now that this one's come out. Good.

Ever sence the Siege figures was made I have wished for a WheelJack figure, but now when it's out but as a earthrise I need to get it.
I love the earthrise figures in The Siege could you maybe do a display shot of all the 1984 Autobots from Siege and earthrise.
definitely will get a repaint with cartoon accurate probably will b a walmart eculsive
Nice
Any further advice on swiveling the head down? Mine's being extremely stubborn.
I got this today, and I'm honestly happy, but I feel like the arms are too long. I think the hands should be where the tires are.
Mushroom pegs that would slide out fairly easily seems to have been a thing since at least Titans Return (that little Muppet McBastard SKULLCRUNCHER).
I'm surprised you didn't compare it to the old Generations Wheeljack.

That's great! The robot is the one that i really like to have.
I wish his paint job matched the Netflix wheeljack... do you prefer mp20 or this one?
Yes this is a really nice piece. My right leg is stuck on mine tho
I think I do prefer the combiner wars head scuplt
Stay healthy and safe Paul! Keep making great videos. It helps bring smiles to us especially through all this
Yo why is the head not going down you said it shifts it’s not moving
Wheel jack was dirty off white
What song do you use for the intro and outro?
Is it white white like in your video or like off white?
Wuts ur intro song
What's with the @Transformers Official tag on your newer videos?
What do you mean?
And his shoulder cannon has a hole so you can extend it and make it look better like this >>www.tfw2005.com/boards/attachments/20200207_083151-1-1-jpg.28530011/
Do hot toys endgame thanos
I’m debating getting this or cliffjumper
why not both? lol.
Junior Amador I wish. But if I get any more my family may scrutinize me lol.
@@jaredjameson3707 lol feel you. haha i just recently picked up ultra magnus and my gf just stared at me all weird 😂
Junior Amador lol
Junior Amador maybe I should wait until earthrise is over to get a better scope of what I should get
Need to fix the exposure of the video. So much blowing out.
Great figure otherwise
Okay
