Nemesis Wheeljack
Finally! A true Wheeljack! Sweet robot, sleek car, TWO fantastic combination modes! called Wheeljack in Japan! Takara has done it again! His ancestor must be prowed! oh yeah. I bought TWO to see how they looked combined together! A+++

God made the Wheeljack, and he saw it was GOOD!

Excellent headsculpt but ugly colors and boring transformation. Can hardly stand up in pants mode. Poseability is not very good either.

Looks great, like G1 Wheeljack. Has some design elements that remind me of Alt. Deadend. The only things that could be improved are the paint (the back of his head is all clear red), and the articulation in his legs.

Yes, I'm on board with the re-naming to Wheeljack. He's awesome. If they made his head translucent part blue (keep the rest orange) then he'd be perfect!!!

Great homage to G1 character. Stylish car mode. TFn scheme is simple but works well. Feet are loose: Will he tip over? Like upper body powerlinx mode though. I put weapons on top/bottom of fists. Leave spoiler on back and half-turn: Looks good that way.

he overall is freakin sweet. In fact he and Omega Supreme are the only Autobots that i have, even though i have all the decepticons. His gun could be better. And Random Hero you could call Armada Wheeljack Downshift

Random Hero.
just got him an hour ago and hes one of my favs. He looks like Wheeljack, but his tech spec is nothing like him. But to me he aint Downshift, hes wheeljack. now what to do with my Armada Wheeljack...

This is a very cool updated version of Wheeljack. Not quite as much articulation as some other figs but certainly more than G1 Wheeljack. For those of you who never had Wheeljack I highly recommend this figure. He's an awsome homage.

I think this guy is cool. Yeah, he doesn't have much articulation, but he gets points for being a new Wheeljack.

Love the color, but the guy is basically a brick. There is not much to his transformation at all. Still is a better addition to my collection than some of the others.

Wow, I have Reissue Wheeljack in my hands! The only gripe I have is the vehicle mode. Kind of looks like a knock-off. The hands and feet could also use a little work.

I had to get him just for the great G1 Wheeljack homage. Transformation is a little too simple, and chunky legs and backpiece hinder lower-body articulation, but he's still quite impressive in both modes. Best Powerlinx top so far.

MegamanX
Its odd how torn i am on this one, Awesome car mode and homage, love the door design as well, robot mode is iffy 'specially the legs, best head sculpt since landmine, terrible pants mode but torso mode makes up for it, can't complain though, he's great :)

CapnScumbone
Gotta love fan pleasers! Solid in both modes, limited articulation, but he's got it where it counts. Needs a few color tweaks here and there. For a powerlinx TF, he's outstanding. Can we get a Skids homage next?

DS2
Fan wank! Awesome sculpt and paintjob, decent PX modes. The paint job and head sculpt grabbed me and won't let go. It looks superb and is a lot of fun to futz with. Don't miss this one because, well, it's like G1 but not.

Transformation is nice, and the Wheeljack homage is great. He can Powerlinx with others. He looks great in both modes, but I wish he didn't have to hold his weapons sideways.

why doesn't hasbro give the tfs their real name (downshift, bulkhead, megatron etc.).

Outrider
Great homage to one of my fave characters, but they shoulda made the green blue instead, and the beige grey. The paint scheme would just 'pop' more that way, I think. Still a great figure, although the weapons mount wierd to his car mode.

FlimFlam
Whoa. Whoa. Wheeljack Part 2. Whoa.

AirKing
The good: great design, good arm and shoulder poseability, good execution overall, and of course IT'S WHEELJACK. That alone is all I need to hear. The bad: rotten leg articulation....better than G1 Wheeljack's, but not much.

Downshift has lots of firepower.
