Where is Wheeljack?

Realistically, I think I'd like Wheeljack to return in this way:

The Autobots on Cybertron give in and hand over the keys.

Megatron revives Cybertron, and the Autobots send the kids home.

The Autobots are captured by the Decepticons, and then imprisoned (with someone being killed).

By way of a tracking beacon on the containers the kids were in, the Decepticons learn where the Autobot's base is, and attack it.

Wheeljack shows up, rescues Ratchet and the kids, and escape.

Season 3 involves Wheeljack and Ratchet trying to rescue the captured Autobots.

im assuming since this mission required stealth, wheeljack was left out since stealth doesnt seem to be his thing. also it seems contacting wheeljack seems to require some barganing, which would require time the team didnt have.
also wheeljack only really works well with bulkhead and doesnt seem fond of the rest of the team aside from miko since they shared that nice little revenge mission together.
which brings me to the next point of, he took miko along on a revenge mission. which endangered a human. optimus seem to have a cardinal rule about involving humans in their species civil conflict. had he brought miko back and only sought revenge on his own, that would have been different, but sadly for wheeljack i think he's been written off due to his following of personal agenda, insubordination, and poor attitude towards the team and its leader.

Maybe the Autobots did contact him, but he was in the middle of his movie-night.

OP: "Wheeljack, a new revelation has been uncovered, and we are presented with the chance to resu-"
WJ: "Sorry Prime, not now. I'm watching The Dark Knight Rises."
OP: "But we could use your assita-"
WJ: "Look, you never called me about that new guy or crazy-zombie-Breakdown or all the other crap you guys do, so just let me watch my mov- *CRUNCH*- Aw, NO! You made me miss Bane breaking Batman's back! Go away!"

Ratchet: "Well?"
OP: "...... He wasn't there."

The writers forgot about him, most likely. That, or they were too lazy to write him in and hope we forgot his existence.

Or he'll show up in a big way next episode. Who knows?

made lots of new friends
got a bit sick, a bit shot
having a pretty wonderful time
bye

This was the first thing I thought of when the Autobots were leaving.

"We need to use all of our available resources."

So Wheeljack doesn't exist in your mind?
