'''Wheeljack''' is one of the roughest Autobots around. As a former member of the [[Wrecker]]s, he's seen plenty of action, and he's got the snarky one-liners to prove it. He's no scientist, but he's certainly inventive when it comes to combat. If there's anything he likes more than slicing up [[Decepticon]]s with his swords, it's hanging with his old buddy, [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] (who calls him '''Jackie'''). But not for too long. He's got places to be.

Wheeljack was a member of the [[Wrecker]]s alongside [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]], many eons ago, and took part in the Battle of [[Darkmount]] Pass. When [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] went dark, he began traveling the stars alone in a [[Wheeljack's ship|ship]].

Eventually he reached [[Earth]]'s [[Solar System]] and was hailed by the Autobots stationed there, including Bulkhead. As he was coming in to land at the coordinates provided by [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], his ship was attacked and shot down by [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]]. Wheeljack emerged from the ship and proceeded to trash the Decepticons, but was eventually overwhelmed and taken back to the ''[[Nemesis (Prime)|Nemesis]]'' where he was imprisoned. He was amused to find that [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] was in command of the Decepticons, and almost goaded Starscream into killing him.

An opportunity allowed him to kill his guard and break free from his bonds. He scaled to the top of the ship, where Starscream was waiting for [[Makeshift (Prime)|Makeshift]], who'd taken on Wheeljack's appearance, to open the Autobot [[ground bridge]]. Wheeljack smashed a bunch of Vehicons and assaulted Starscream before escaping through the ground bridge to the [[Autobot Central Command|Autobot base]]. There he confronted Makeshift and the pair dueled with swords until Wheeljack was victorious. Bulkhead tossed Makeshift back through the ground bridge along with a present for the 'cons.

Though the Autobots welcomed Wheeljack, he revealed that he intended to return to space. He invited Bulkhead along, but Bulkhead was too attached to his friends on Earth to leave. Bulkhead was sure he'd return someday... {{storylink|Con Job}}

==Notes==
* Wheeljack is said to have not taken an [[alternate mode]], but he's clearly got four tires with hubcaps. It's safe to say that when he does get an Earth mode, it'll be a white racing car with green and red stripes, like [[Wheeljack (G1)|somebody we know.]]
** The Hub's comedic making of ''Transformers: Prime'' shows concept art of Wheeljack's alternate mode behind [[Jeff Kline]] in his introduction. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3iKDbKQwKI&feature=related]
*** Wheeljack closely resembles Drift of Generation 1.
