A noted tinkerer, the cartoon version of Wheeljack is noteworthy for his part in the creation of the Dinobots; conversely, Wheeljack’s consistent production of new weapons and gadgets, and his compulsion to test the weapons himself, makes him one of the most danger-prone of the Autobots. Wheeljack is most efficient in vehicle mode. He can fly within a range of 800 miles by virtue of the solid-fuel rockets built into his arms. Wheeljack’s shoulder cannon enables him to fire a variety of artillery including magnetic inducer, shrapnel-needle, and gyro-inhibitor shells.
