Classics Wheeljack

Is Wheeljack on Hasbro's short list of characters that they would like to see updated for the Classics toy-line? It would make sense for Hasbro to end up making one as he was the first Transformer to be seen in the first episode of the original cartoon.

I did do a forum search looking to see if this question had been asked, but most of the results that came up were custom Classics Wheeljack threads.

Cheers.

I use Cybertron Downshift as a stand-in. Energon does a good job too.

I posted a picture in the Universe discussion thread, but I'd love it if Hasbro used the Fenomenon Stratos as the vehicle base model since G1 Wheeljack was a previous Stratos model.

I would be highly disappointed if this weren't so. Especially when Hot Rod remained the Dome Zero for this line.

At either SDCC or Botcon Hasbro representatives said It's "Too early" to talk about Classics Wheeljack. That indicates they're getting to it.

We might have to wait until after the 2009 movie line, but suspect we'll get him, Jazz, Red Alert, Trailbreaker, and others in Classics. It's what the line is FOR, after all.

With any luck after the movie will be long enough to do Universe Blitzwing to round off the Decepticon triple changers. That and Trailbreaker would complete my Classics shelf by themselves.

If Hasbro makes a legends of Wheeljack only, I'll be happy. I'd prefer a deluxe more, though. Heck, a simple re-release of Energon Downshift would be good enough for me.

I'm fairly confident there will be a new deluxe Wheeljack mold. We may just have to be patient though.

I'm hoping for it, and praying that it's just a little more Wheeljackian than the Downshift figures were. More G1ish ears, wings, shoulder missiles, that sort of thing.
Let Hasbro know you want a Beast Wars Neo Unicron! Sign the petition at http://www.PetitionOnline.com/3dhouse/petition.html

I think it's highly probable we'll see him when Universe returns.
My Mate just said he "cant deal with that now!!"
