Talk:Wheeljack (Armada)

Teleportation?

I don't recall him teleporting anywhere in the cartoon, nor is it referenced in the summary, so where does that note come from exactly? Is it just someone jumping to conclusion from some continuity error?--MCRG Again 19:28, 18 October 2009 (EDT)

No, he does. It's in Past Part 1, I think.

Hall of Fame

How is this Wheeljack being counted as a hall of fame member? We've already got Energon Downshift as Wheeljack (as I can't imagine who else he could possibly be) and this Wheeljack has nothing in common with any other incarnation of Wheeljack (not appearance wise nor in terms of personality/function) so who are we counting this guy as? --BlackStarscream (talk) 19:27, 31 May 2014 (EDT)

Unless Hasbro says otherwise (like with BW Megatron), all versions of Wheeljack are covered by the Hall of Fame entry. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 19:52, 31 May 2014 (EDT)

Yes, but does just sharing a name make two characters "versions" of the same guy? Mini-Cons Sky Lynx and Shockwave certainly aren't "versions" of the original bearers of those names, for example. Was Armada Wheeljack included in his HOF video? I've looked up pics of the HOF display case that year and didn't see this guy's toy included, but if he was in the video than he would have to count. --KilMichaelMcC (talk) 20:48, 31 May 2014 (EDT)

So far the display case is the only thing I can find as well; they have neither Armada Wheeljack nor Energon Downshift, but from what I've observed they tend to do roughly one of each mold used on the character, and SG Wheeljack happens to be there but Armada Wheeljack isn't. I agree with KilMichaelMcC that we need to see the HOF video; sadly I can't currently find it--BlackStarscream (talk) 23:49, 2 June 2014 (EDT)

To revisit this matter, I once again propose that *Armada* Wheeljack have the Hall of Fame marker removed from this page. If at the least Hasbro can acknowledge Beast Wars Megatron as a separate archetype from Generation 1 Megatron in the same timeline, then I think they could acknowledge Armada Wheeljack as different from other holders of the name based on the faction and function.

Alternate mode

Because I think it's worth bringing up here, a recent edit suggested that his alternate mode could be an Keonigsegg CCXR Trevita - while it sure looks like that car, from what I can tell, the Trevita was only released in 2010, which would be way too late for Wheeljack to be based on it. --abates (talk) 15:31, 9 November 2016 (EST)

Homage To Ricochet

Recently, while looking through the article for Ricochet (Headmasters), I noticed that his design seems very similar to Armada Wheeljack, and was wondering if it's pure coincidence or if there's a connection.--Waspscream (talk) 19:51, 25 January 2020 (EST)

They barely look alike aside from sharing some colors. No connection. --Nu-Priest (talk) 20:04, 25 January 2020 (EST)

Plus, Hasbro wasn't in the habit of making G1 homages, let alone obscure Japanese ones, back during Armada. --Sabrblade (talk) 21:44, 25 January 2020 (EST)

Adding a new category

Since he did appear in one Energon comic wouldn’t that make him an Energon Decepticon? And that mean he didn’t just appear in one portion of this continuity? T9ol-Fun3e (talk) 08:38, 9 April 2024 (EDT)
