Hasbro ID number: WFC-E6
TakaraTomy ID number: ER-03
TakaraTomy release date: May 30, 2020
Accessories: "Magnetic Inducer Launcher"
Known designers: Shogo Hasui (TakaraTomy), more»
Released in the first wave of Earthrise Deluxes, Wheeljack transforms into an Earth-based car resembling a Lancia Stratos with some portions of the vehicle’s design being similar to the Lancia Rally, while his robot mode features proportions and colors more accurate to his depiction in the G1 cartoon. The only accessory included with Wheeljack is his shoulder launcher, based on his original 1984 toy’s, which can plug into any C.O.M.B.A.T. System 5mm port or onto either shoulder using a slot and painted tab. His spoiler/"wing” halves are also attached via 5mm posts, so they can be easily removed and placed elsewhere if you want to do that. We won’t stop you.
His side doors and spoiler are tampographed with the Japanese text サイバトロン ("Cybertron”), Takara’s classic name for the Autobots, as well as several Transformers references appearing as "sponsor logos”. These include the places: "Velocitron Racing 1984”, "PRAXUS”, "protihex”, and "IACON”; and characters: "Swerve”, "OVERRIDE”, "ricochet ricochet”, ""WHEELJACK” INVENZIONE” (Italian for invention, likely to Lancia being an Italian company), "AUTOBOTtracks”, and "Aerobolt”. Other tampos include "modulator”, "CYBER TRON CON”, the different racing number "638”, "W MOTORS”, "Lucky!”, "rallyX” (likely due to the car mode being based off a Lancia Rally), a stylized A symbol, and an Autobot sigil. These tampos can be easily scratched, so care must be taken to avoid paint scuffs. Although renders show the figure cast in a crisp white plastic, the actual figure is a slightly green-tinted white.
Like all Earthrise toys, the inside of the back of Wheeljack’s package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Wheeljack’s piece of the map contains the labeled location of the planet "ANTILLA"
This mold was also used to make Selects Decepticon Exhaust and Shattered Glass Collection Decepticon Slicer.
