    Huh. First time I've seen the Autobot symbol with the eyes filled in for once.

    No, but it is almost spot on to Chris Latta.

    R.I.P Chris Latta. Your voice acting skills are dearly missed.

    This was mentioned in his g1 Tech Spec:

    FUNCTION: MECHANICAL ENGINEER
    "Never do what your enemy expects you to do."
    WHEELJACK is the mad scientist of the Autobots. Always inventing new weapons and gadgets. Most adept at driving while in car mode. Likes to show off his stunts. /snip

    His TFWiki article and Dreamwaves MTMTE entries also mention showing off his driving skills/ stunts. The Hollywood part seems new.

    I think the Hollywood part is just to make it sound cooler. I doubt he actually works in Hollywood.

    So by "astonishing" do they mean "shockblast cannon"? Because I hope so.

    Aside from the Hollywood stuntman bit that WJ stole from Hoist, WJ also stole Trailbreaker's force field bit. :D 

    Actually, I think the Hollywood stuntman thing may be a slight nod to Hollywood special effects experts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage since WJ's TF Animated design was based partly on Jamie's impressive 'stash. :lol  That and Jamie and Adam are kinda mad scientists, much like WJ is.

    "Don't mess with the geek!" Wheeljack looks like a ton of fun to play. Sad to see no shockblast cannon but they did include his immobilizer machine that can freeze enemies, so that's cool.

    The Immobolizer being a part of his ultimate attack is just too awesome for words.

    The only thing that dissapoints me about this game is wheeljacks voice. They couldnt get a better sound-a-like? Other than that, wverthing about this game looks awesome.

    This game looks (cell shading) and plays (quick transformations) so much like Robotech Battlecry.
