    Just for record, here's the pic of Wheeljack that popped up months ago on a studio's wall during the funny behind the scenes video.

    Good find. I was skeptical when it was first posted, but with that confirmation, I'm ready to say that's Wheeljack.

    HELL YEAH! speaking role as well this time and recurring part please.

    Wonder how he's going to be portrayed since he's Bulkhead's buddy rather than Ratchet's.

    So Bulky and Jack are old buds. That's interesting.
    I wonder what doesn't go as planned?

    From what I see in that pic, Yup its Wheeljack, wings and all. Wish we could make out a head.

    I hope this show lives up to the hype I got from the first 5 episodes.

    Knew there was a reason why Wheeljack in Prime sounded familiar. :lol 

    Good news and not long to go now.

    Indeed! Makes me wonder if Bulkhead turns out to be some kind of secret genius again as well.

    Bigger news than Wheeljack to me is that episode 7 features
    the return of the SCRAPLETS!

    Just out of curiousity, why does everybody think that Wheeljack is going to be the exact same guy from G1? Yes, there's WFC control/concept art for him, but regardless of whatever Hasbro clams that WFC and Prime are in the same continuity, I am keeping in mind that Wheeljack may only have the name. I mean, Wheeljack was in Armada, but only in name. The character Wheeljack in Armada was totally different and looked more like Sideswipe.

    But I don't mean to water-down the news, it's still nice to see Hasbro giving the okay to use older, more familar names such as Wheeljack. Now, bring on Trailbreaker (or Cutter, I guess...)

    This isn't WFC control art. It's PRIME art from a TF PRIME special.

    Plus so for no characters in TF Prime were nameslaps, even Arcee is similar to past Arcees (Energon bike, blue from Movie Arcee triplet)
