[philipho188]

Love Wheeljack, love your review!!

[EsThirt33n]

ear piping!

can do science!

: D

[hurricane567]

Do what i did, get the reprolabels wheeljack set and give him his numbers and sponsor logos. Also go ahead and get the ones for smokescreen and jazz, then buy the wal mart exclusive DotM Sideswipe and Bumblebee with their crazy sponsor logos and numbers, line them up, and make prowl the pace car

[lanceman24]

Please view my g1ish modification guide to classics Wheeljack :)

>Easter Egg

The binary code? It doesn't translate into anything.

[zilvertron]

I SOOO agree with you on a better ironhide, and ratchet of course. Hate those out there right now, and the upgrade set for the old ones just leaves the legs entirely stiff, and that "grinds my gears".

[thisisnotatroll]

SCIENCE

SCIENCE

[viraticwars]

I want him so bad... but they aren't going to release him... ever... I WANTS HIM!

[PyrozPlayground]

Slinky for a face and he talks with his ears! X'D

[BusterBrenton]

Love the booties.

[WatchThisReview]

You make a very compelling case for a figure I might have otherwise overlooked Oo

[ProfessorMoriartyx]

Someone who loves Wheeljack despite his height issue! YESSS! All the other reviews just bang on about the knees. THANK YOU.

[ilovemess]

splendid in the proper old fashioned way.

hope to see you next week.

[popculturehero]

It works better for wheeljack. Because Takara designed it as Wheeljack first. Then worked with Hasbro to make the mods for Tracks.

You can also clip the wrenches onto the back of the legs for some hydralic mecha armature action.

[frankensteinmoneymac]

@popculturehero Are you sure about that? Why would Wheejack have a flying car mode? That something tracks would have.....plus the hood has a slight dip in it that reminds me of the G1 Tracks 80's era corvette stingray. Considering this thing was built with wings....has a hood reminiscent of a corvette...and the fact that Wheeljack still has Track's feet on the back of his ankles....I'd say it's quite clear that Tracks was the original mold here...not wheeljack.

[popculturehero]

@frankensteinmoneymac Here is the quote from the Generations 2011 vol. 1 interview:

How come Tracks and Wheeljack share the same mould?

Mr. Hisashi Yuki: Wheeljack made it to the lineup first, and Hasbro asked if Tracks could be made by rotating Wheeljack's lower body. We suggested Tracks’ flight mode at that time. Hasbro's person in charge is a Transformers fan and he graciously approved.

[frankensteinmoneymac]

@popculturehero Yes but Wheeljack has the same flight mode.....so simple logic tells you he couldn't have been made first, then afterwards Tracks was made from him, with a Flight Mode added. Wheeljack would have already had the flight mode had he been made first. I'm sure this is just a confusion due to translating Mr. Hisashi Yuki's comments.....Such a thing really isn't that uncommon when interviewing those of foreign languages.

[Skullgrin140]

Generations Tracks's mold works rather well for Wheeljack, plus the new headsculpt looks sick. Its a shame the G1 toy will never have a reissue but at least now we have a proper Wheeljack toy and one that looks fantastically well made. Superb as always good sir!

[Mantax66]

I have a mangasm when I see a new Thew vid :)

[Vorahk3985]

I WANT THAT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eviltot]

WANT!!!

[grapebuilding]

Yes!

[ShowdownEmpire]

Universe Ironhide LOL

[GlasgowPhilosipher]

This toy is a triumph.

I'm making a note here: Huge Success.

[T2rx6]

Great review Buddy, we need to get on Caleb to put something new out!

[Blissy10]

are you going to Auto Assembly or bloodstock Thew?

[Bluedragon111]

GORDON FReeeEEMAN.

I need this guy. I'm not even a huge fan of Wheeljack, but who can hate him, seriously?

[robpeter1]

he is awsome i picked this fella up too, its got lots of paint aps too, looks very smart, i love the pain you express at ironhide. lol lol lol

[Geth7777]

SCIENCE!!

[OniDanielx86]

I miss your epic beard

[sifimatt12345]

I like that your transformation transition songs are now about the transformers you review. please continue.

[vh2k]

I'm very happy that I picked up Wheeljack, he's been on display since the day I got him. Bookshelves are in storage at the moment, so spots are limited!

[EricCartman421]

lord your awesome, your reviews are funny, quick and to the point, I wish there were more people like you in the white house.

[djnoeko]

Thuddy. 'u'

[TsunogaiDanshaku]

I loved Tracks, but I kept having problems with his shoulders. They'd pop off the ball joint and just NOT stay on when you tried to put 'em back. I've actually had to buy him TWICE and BOTH times the right arm popped off. Being as they use the same mold, does Wheeljack seem to you like he'd have the same problem?

[jon3pnt0]

thew, awesome review.... just as advertised.

[Shinakumiatsu]

I WANT THAT SONG! It's gonna get stuck in my head :(

[juise99]

Awesome review as always! Odly enough even though he was released first, Tracks is the repaint and Wheeljack is the original.

[PyjamaPrime]

there's actually a set of reprolabels for Wheeljack that gives him all of his sponsors and the 539, as well as a license plate that says "The Jack". it's pretty awesome :)

[Vdecepticon]

Sweet review bro :) I need to find this guy.

[firearm99]

I thought you got rid of universe ironhide 

[BigDVulturous]

I saw Sergeant Kup...... Why isnt there a review for him yet?!

[tbx76]

AAAAHHHHHH! Just seeing this review has me going mad.....can't find this guy anywhere! Great review as always though!

[MentalMyles]

@tbx76 I hear that Hasbro will be rereleasing Warpath and Wheeljack near the end of this year (as they were released just before DOTM)

[marwinout]

thews is aweMsome

[TFaddict86]

Yes!! Brilliant sir....simply brilliant...WILJACK!? Omg teh lolz...ur quick wit and humor make me proud to collect robots...Dude, seriously u have made my millenium...U are truly welcome Thew...(Thelcome?) Coming soon: That chunky red fecker whose really happy to see u :-D

[exillionXLR]

science and also trackseseses back end, wheyy x

[doddi1984]

Yes, they finally managed to make a proper Wheeljack figure. The car mode is probably the best one in the Generations line, and he's on Top 3 for me in best figures in that line.

539 number, I know the answer to that one: Repro-labels. They have those, right?

Thew-tastic stuff there, mate.

[kite973]

Look arond you Thew. Just, look around you. Have you worked out what we're looking for? Correct. The answer is : Transformers!

[DeadMeat2208]

I dunno man, I always find your review fun to watch. Do keep up dear good sir :)

[Susanowo2402]

:D THEW!

[Metalix01]

My wheeljack has two left hands ... :(

[JediJennifer]

poor ironhide xD

[drsyn]

SCIENCE!

[EVAUnit4A]

Oh BTW, tribute-or-no, Downshift is one of my absolute favorite TFs OF ALL TIME.

[EVAUnit4A]

Love teh rethew was always!

Damn I missed Jazz, Perceptor, Laser OP, and Lugnut all because my region jumped from Universe wave-1 right into DotM wave-1. WTF.

[ZeltraxMillenium]

@EVAUnit4A

Well, doesn't that suck? I was only able to get Perceptor/BTW Paul Eiding is AWESOME and RTS G2 Laser Optimus only from the time I went to Botcon. I never found these suckers in my area. Hopefully when DOTM dies down, we can get some Transformers Prime toys/Looking forward to that Cliffjumper and Vehicon drone and some more Generations toys.

[swindle2345]

thew you just made my day and i thank you good sir :D

[waspshot23]

damn, can't wait to get mine thru the door now...jacktastic!

[WolfKang1]

Yeh... He is pretty awesome is he not?

[Eucep]

Happy Hardcore music in my monthly Thew, preposterousius.

Awesome review again. It's one of those figures where some reprolabel upgrading is quite pleasing, same for tracks. But I believe they are bloody expensive for both.

[mattr75]

I have him as well, and he's awesome! Nice review, by the way.

[durge12]

definately one of my targets at auto assembly. energon downshift can rest easy. bit of a short arse though isnt he?

[ShiyojinRommyu]

Wheeljack brings the science, I'll bring the beer, and Thew brings the Beard.

[rumrunner777]

I once survived for two weeks in the deep desert on nuthin but Gen Wheeljack and Pips. That's how damn tasty this lil guy is!

[Davadino]

im so stoked for the prime wheeljack

[thesorrow777]

I want to have your babies, I'll call them Thewbies

[infectedflinch]

Why Ironhide?! WHY!?

[Segaman19]

Another stupendously awesome review, sir!!!

[Hucklebubba]

Royalties!

[MentalMyles]

Wheeljack rejecting Thunderwing's stupid ideas? Not a good move! XD

[roni134730]

Actually it seems Tracks was the retool of Wheeljack, he just ended up coming out first for some reason.

[SharkNinjaBlueStar]

God I wish I could find this awesome bastard...

[bbeve29296]

as always a brilliant review my friend and i am pleased to say that your reviews have even entertained some non TF friends of mine!

[NTLReviews]

Yes more reviews more power!

[hobbitninja]

2:27 I love how the wear on G1 Wheeljack just makes the car mode looks battered and awesome

[TekTheEpic]

YAY! NEWTHEW

[starscream789]

Third muvva fucca!!!!

[edwardpoppy]

<3

[ZeltraxMillenium]

Very cool review of WheelJack, my friend. BTW, it's my birthday today.

[dylandior123]

Happy Christmas, Zeltrax! Hehe :-p

[BusterBrenton]

Squeal like a superior repaint!

[Mattersmasher]

Whoo! Fist comment! Fist IN YOUR FACE!
