Via Twitter user @WildJackMedia we can report that the new Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Mainline Deluxe Wheeljack has been found in Australia.
This figure is the individual release of the Deluxe Wheeljack mold included in one of the Target exclusive Rise Of The Beasts Jungle Mission 3-packs (together with Cheetor and Nightbird). It has showed up at some stores in Australia. We also have some in-hand images to share with you.
What do you think of this Wheeljack mold? Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Definitely going to pass on this. Maybe a G1 Cybertron mode Wheeljack though
Boss Borot
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.
Beemer
I was wrong. His name is Pablo Pick-Ass-O.
TF Hot Rod
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…

Are the mainline deluxes getting released in the US, or are we only getting them in the 3-packs?
TF Hot Rod
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.
Mercurius
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.
TF Hot Rod
Yeah no, Wheeljack’s a good figure. Not at all a dud.

This made me chuckle out loud, garnering some coworker stares. Thank you!
Purple Heart
He isn’t one either. He’s a great deluxe.

Wheeljack is the other dud.

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.

This thread…is suprisingly tame for the topic.

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.

Wha- I-I lost you halfway, but I'll take your word for it.
BWIguanusfan2
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.
