The official Transformers Game Facebook page has posted some lineart of one of the five playable Autobots in the upcoming game, Transformers: Devastation. This lineart, drawn by well-known comic artist Guido Guidi, features front and back views of Wheeljack, who is on the Autobots’ roster of playable characters, in both his robot mode and vehicle mode. Something to note about the back view of his robot mode is that one design (left) features a more G1-accurate, backpack-less design while the other (right) features a backpack formed by the back of his alt-mode, which is more accurate to his Generations figure from a few years ago.
Transformers: Devastation is slated for release October 6th and can be pre-ordered on the official Transformers Game site or at any game retailer and will be available for Xbox One and 360, Playstation 3 and 4, and PC.

Maybe a toy made from this at some point. I don't hate the Generations figure but I wouldn't object to a new figure that looked like this.

That's how the Generations back looks, granted, the art has the pack smaller.

Wheeljack looks awesome! I'm just happy that my fave Bot is getting so much love (Masterpiece and Classics treatment, not to mention his great TF Prime RID mold) as of late, and now we get the chance to play as the mad scientist himself in a video game! It almost makes up for him getting killed off-screen so casually in the '86 animated movie.

Not at all, they merged the original cartoon look with a Generations/Masterpiece hybrid, which seems to be the style of the game.

Wow they….copied the cartoon. Good for them.

The backpack formed by the alt mode rear looks to be based off MP Wheeljack.

The Generations nose doesn't flow with the Lancia based more boxy lines. At least it doesn't to me.
And yes, i know its a drawing…

cool! And the style of the art seems to be more smooth and more "classic" for a cartoon drawing.
