"Never do what your enemy expects you to do."
Wheeljack is the mad scientist of the Autobots. Always invents new weapons and gadgets. Most adept at driving while in car mode. Likes to show off his stunts. Flying range of 800 miles using solid-fuel rockets in arms. Shot magnetic inducer, shrapnel-needle, and gyro-inhibitor shells from his shoulder cannons. He is his own worst enemy. Often injured while experimenting with new weapons.
Knowledge: Engineering, Inventive Thinking, Stunt Driving, Making Things Explode (Intentional and Otherwise)
Bio-Historical Observational Report
Wheeljack was among the Ark crew who awoke in 1984 after millions of years stranded, comatose, on Earth. He proved one of the Autobots more at ease with Earth culture, and spent his time there building all manner of strange contraptions, including the Dinobots. In 2005, Wheeljack was among the Autobot casualties in the Battle of Autobot City...
...but now, thanks to a little mad science, he lives again!

- Shockblast Cannon II
- "The first one exploded. A lot. However, I've done some tweaking and created a new power source to compensate for the lack ventilation which I believed caused the original's intense overheating and subsequent explosion. Anyway! This one is sure to give the Decepticons one smelt of a shock!"
- Pyrotechnic Blaster
- "You want fireworks? I'll give you fireworks. This work of art right here puts together the fire and the flame, sprinkled with a dash of Terrandependence Day festivities! This'll give those Cons one seriously cruel summer! Hahahaha!"
