Thanks to TFW member Nightshadow, we have a good amount of in-hand images of upcoming Combiner Wars wave 6 figure, Wheeljack! The images include shots of Wheeljack in both robot mode and alt mode, as well as comparison shots in both modes alongside his mold-mates, Sunstreaker and Breakdown. He comes with the same weapon and hand-foot-gun as Sunstreaker and Breakdown, but features a new headsculpt, new chest, and almost entirely new alt mode sculpt.
With wave 5 saturating at retail, you can expect to see wave 6 relatively soon. If you want to secure this wave though, be sure to head to any one of our sponsors in the sidebar to place your pre-orders, and don’t forget to check out the pics after the jump!

Eh looks ok I guess but just looks the same for all of them
I don't think I will buy him :/

The white looks better in these pics than others i've seen, but that's still a lot of white…. I'm sticking with my plan of replacing the elbows/shoulders/ and crotch pieces with the black versions from a spare Sunstreaker I picked up…. Looks to be the same molded parts… The only issue i can see will be getting out the one long pin that runs from shoulder to shoulder and connects the front end….

Good review !
Confirms what I already expected.
Personally, I like the all white arms.
I'd only need reprolabels for the faux windshields in robotmode.

That figure is better than expected. More paint would be welcome but Wheeljack is very well suited to that mold. I will get one for my work desk.

The remolding used on this guy should've been used on the proper combiner characters, like Slingshot, or Wildrider.
Also, i'm sure most europeans would rather get wave 2 (y'know the guys all these repaints are based off) than this.
Sucks, man.

Well after seeing it in the better lighting.. It's not remotely as awful as I thought it was.. I might have to find someone to trade my Prowl for one..

With wave 5 saturating at retail???? I fucking hate the distribution for Maryland…we just barely got wave 4. Probably won't see wave 5 until April…wave 6 will be August at this point…
Been trying to get a CW Onslaught for near to retail price, but that's not happening anytime soon…near $60 on Amazon and out of stock everywhere else
