Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Mainline Deluxe Wheeljack Found In Australia

Given how damn close this looks to the movie design, I wonder what the SS version will look like. Evidently his design didn’t change too much from mainline to the time SS hit production.

Hopefully it'll at least be a licensed VW van. That's honestly the only thing keeping me from getting the mainline release.

As for the others, I really only want Cheetor and Airazor. I'll probably skip the SS releases for those, as I don't really like them as much. Mainline Airazor looks really fun.

Are the mainline deluxes getting released in the US, or are we only getting them in the 3-packs?

Yes they are.

I hope they're getting released separately, because I really want that Air Razor way more than I want Mirage and Bumblebee…

I feel like that head would seriously interfere with transformation. The current head barely clears the windshield during conversion as is. Don't get me wrong – I want a different head for him. But I've already just decided his name is "Pablo" and he's a Junkion in my collection.

You got to pop it off for transformation yes, but it’s a sacrifice I’m more than will to pay. And if the head fits will do the same for the SS toy if it doesn’t have the fins.

Yeah no, Wheeljack’s a good figure. Not at all a dud.

Wheeljack is the other dud.  

He isn’t one either. He’s a great deluxe.

Yes, Ironhide turned from a red van to a black pickup. Ratchet turned into a green off road ambulance. Jazz wasn't a Porsche and Bumblebee became a yellow Camaro. The other characters all changed, like Sideswipe becoming a silver Corvette concept car.

I still can't stand this Urkel looking doofus as Wheeljack. ABC should sue for stealing a character and Jaleel White should be getting residuals.

Wha- I-I lost you halfway, but I'll take your word for it.

just in case your new, I'm memeing. downshift and cliffjumper had their names switched in the first few episodes of their appearances in Energon (english dub), cliffjumper is the dunebuggy and downshift is the one inspired by good ol' pablo.

I don't like how he's almost universally called Pablo. It breaks my brain. Like what if I go to the movie and end up saying "Man, that was awesome! My favorite character was Pablo." Th-that doesn't make make any sense…

Isn't that Cliffjumper?

I'm sorry but your mistaken. Downshift's best friend is the individual named Cliffjumper is this guy.

I'm pretty sure that Pablo guy impersoning energon downshift from that damned nostalgia bait intro to the Bumblebee Movie is based on energon Cliffjumper, which is confusing because there was a character based off G1 Cliffjumper as in the movie. This would not be the first time people confused downshift for his best friend Cliffjumper, as in the cgi anime for energon as halfway through the english dub of energon they decided to erroneous flip downshift and Cliffjumper dispite them getting the names correct in the beginning.
