His numerous accomplishments include designing the Aerialbots, adding concealment panels and driver mannequins to his fellow Autobots' vehicle modes... and standing up to Grimlock when almost nobody else would!

Don't worry, boss! If Jazz doesn't know, Wheeljack will be happy to improvise. It's my specialty!{{#if:|{{{quote2}}}}}{{#if:WheeljackDIS-Integrated Circuits!|Wheeljack{{#if:DIS-Integrated Circuits!|, DIS-Integrated Circuits!|}}|}}

Marvel The Transformers comics

[edit]
Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.

Early in Cybertron's civil war, before Optimus became leader, Wheeljack was a member of the Magnificent Six, a strike team comprising himself, Jazz, Inferno, Sunstreaker, Prowl, and Stampede. Together, they were tasked with infiltrating Decepticon territories to sow chaos from within. During a mission to the neutralist town of Yuss, they defeated a small band of Decepticons and were hailed as heroes by the locals. A retaliatory attack proved harder to repel, as the team found themselves facing off against Megadeath's elite cadre. The Magnificent Six held Yuss's borders for a week, but the once-grateful neutralists grew to resent the Autobots as the violence took its toll on them. The siege ended with the neutralists selling out the Autobots.

As Megadeath's captives, the six were subject to tortures and humiliations for seven days. In one of his sadistic games, Megadeath gave five of the six blasters, and offered them a chance to win their freedom; they only needed to stop him from killing Stampede, the only unarmed member. Wheeljack and the others failed to even take up arms, so thoroughly had Megadeath succeeded in breaking them by that point. Megadeath then gave the Autobots two hours to find his neutralist prisoners before he detonated five Neutronic bombs to obliterate the entire region. Finding their mettle, the Autobots forewent any attempt to rescue either themselves or the civilians for the Decepticon's entertainment. They instead hid, and ambushed Megadeath when he came to investigate their lack of action. Though Wheeljack and Prowl nearly died in battle, the remaining three Autobots crippled their torturer. Megadeath refused to divulge where he had stashed the neutralists, so the Autobots left him behind to die to his own device. When later questioned about what had transpired during their mission, the survivors lied and claimed not to remember any of it. The Magnificent Six!

Throughout the war on Cybertron, Wheeljack rescued fellow Autobot Sky Lynx numerous times, earning him the latter's eternal gratitude and friendship. Spacehikers! He was present at the battle of Jan-Ja where Optimus Prime rallied the troops in the defence of Iacon. Surrender!

They thought I was crazy, absolutely mad.

Wheeljack was one of the select Autobots chosen by Optimus Prime to travel aboard the Ark, and ended up in stasis lock for four million years at the base of Mount St. Hilary with the rest of the crew. Once the volcano exploded and the Transformers reactivated, Wheeljack was rebuilt to transform into a race car. As the Autobots counted their ranks, he apologized to Ratchet for being "the guy you've had to patch up most." The Transformers Unfortunately, upon their awakening, the Autobots had already a major problem to deal with; they were in dire need of a fuel source. A solution to the predicament presented itself while the Autobots were discussing it: Bumblebee had made friends with a human, Buster Witwicky, whose father had suggested a means of converting gasoline to Transformer fuel. Wheeljack and the rest of the Autobots rolled out to meet with the humans, only to be caught in a fight with the Decepticons upon meeting them. The battle ended with Sparkplug being abducted by the evil robots. Power Play!

Later, after Sparkplug Witwicky had been retrieved, Wheeljack witnessed the human suffer a heart attack, requiring Ratchet to drive him and his son to the hospital. The Last Stand After a battle with the Decepticons, the Autobots were defeated by Shockwave, who took over the Ark and hung the bodies of Wheeljack and his defeated peers from the ceiling. The New Order Repeat Performance!

Ratchet was able to reclaim the Ark and began to reactivate the fallen warriors. Wheeljack was the second Autobot after Prowl to be brought back on-line, so that he could aid Ratchet with his technical skills. Wheeljack used the Ark's computers to track down the Guardian droid, reprogrammed by the Decepticons, that was running wild within the ship. Upon finding the droid, Wheeljack discovered that it had been booby-trapped with a thermo-nuclear bomb. The Wrath of Guardian! He saved the Autobots from total destruction by remote-controlling Optimus Prime's deactivated body and using it to intervene in Grimlock's attempted execution of Guardian, preventing him from blowing them all to smithereens. Guardian fled, and the Autobots began planning on how to defeat him. The droid burst into the medical bay some time later, now intent on detonating the bomb within his body himself. Swoop seemingly sacrificed himself to save his fellow Autobots, and Wheeljack and the others grieved by placing a marking beacon for the lost Dinobot. The Wrath of Grimlock!

Don't worry! As long as you hit the wire with the connecting hook at precisely eighty-eight miles per hour, the instant the lightning strikes the tower... everything will be fine!

Wheeljack accompanied Jazz on a mission to secure a fuel supply for the Autobots. He stayed in the background while Jazz forged an alliance with the human G.B. Blackrock. But when Starscream and Frenzy showed up at the unveiling of Blackrock's new anti-robot cannon, Wheeljack couldn't just sit around. He transformed and blasted Frenzy with magnetic powder, which buried the Decepticon in an avalanche of ferrous materials. Wheeljack was saved from an attack by Starscream when Circuit Breaker brought the Decepticon crashing to the ground. The save was unintentional, however; when Wheeljack thanked the human for her help, she turned her fury on him, blasting him into unconsciousness. DIS-Integrated Circuits! Christmas Breaker!

Following the capture and subsequent escape of Ravage from Autobot headquarters, Bumblebee attempted to chase down the Decepticon spy on his own. Bumblebee's signal was soon after detected returning towards the Ark, and Wheeljack headed out to welcome him. He was instead met by Bumblebee's severed arm, delivered by Laserbeak to goad Optimus Prime into a trap. Crisis of Command! After Bumblebee's rescue, the Autobots detected an unidentified flying Transformer heading towards the Ark, and assumed battle positions to meet him. Wheeljack and the others wound up tangling against mind-controlled Swoop, and found themselves unable to subdue him. Optimus ended the battle by issuing Swoop an order, prompting the rebellious bot to break free of the mind-control. The Icarus Theory Following this battle, Wheeljack attended a briefing where the Autobots planned out to corral the other Dinobots on the loose, but did not personally participate in the "Dinobot Hunt." Dinobot Hunt!

To help boost the Autobots' fallen forces, Wheeljack installed the minds of Grapple, Skids, Hoist, Smokescreen, and Tracks into bodies that were created by the Ark. The minds were stored on the Ark in crystals for such an occasion. Rock and Roll-Out! While perusing Earth's broadcasts, Wheeljack stumbled upon a message being shown on all television channels: a human "super-villain" called Robot-Master was claiming responsibility for the Transformers' presence on Earth, and making terrorist demands. Wheeljack relayed the transmission to Optimus. Via another broadcast, Wheeljack was able to determine the whereabouts of Megatron, who had become idle due to a lack of fuel out in the open. He transferred the necessary coordinates to Optimus's mapping circuitry so that he could lead a team to the Decepticon's location. I, Robot-Master!

At some point, Wheeljack wounded himself while arm-wrestling a Decepticon. Such an injury earned him a talking-to from Ratchet within the repair bay. Later that day, upon learning that Bumblebee had gotten himself cornered by Shockwave, Wheeljack rolled out with the Autobots to come to their diminutive friend's help. Plight of the Bumblebee!

Though tasked with repairing the Ark's stellar drive boosters, Wheeljack forewent his duties when he and Ratchet got it into their heads that they should build Buster a robotic battlesuit. Optimus Prime was unamused upon finding out, and ordered the suit destroyed. Feeling sorry for Buster, Wheeljack and Ratchet agreed to wait a day's time before destroying the armor. They failed in accomplishing this task as well, since Buster stole the suit under cover of night, and wound up destroying it in a battle against Shockwave. Upon discovering his absence, the Autobots rushed out to rescue Buster, happening on him just as Shockwave was readying to squeeze the life out of the boy. Unwilling to stand against the united Autobot forces, Shockwave walked away, leaving the Autobots to escort Buster back to safety. Robot Buster!

The Autobots were visited by Sparkplug, who had curious news regarding his son; Buster was being increasingly plagued by frightful nightmares, and during a somnambulistic episode, had drawn crude design specs for a Transformer. Wheeljack recognized the design immediately as something he himself had been trying to wrap his mind around for some time; an Autobot Combiner. Devastation Derby! By hooking them both up to a mind-link device, Optimus helped Buster decipher his prophetic visions. Upon awakening, Optimus summoned Wheeljack to begin schematic-work on the Transformers foretold by Buster's Matrix-induced dreams. Wheeljack began designing Superion to Optimus Prime's specifications, though the process through which the components would combine, he admitted, would take him some time to work out. Second Generation!

Wheeljack was among the Autobots who witnessed the debut of Omega Supreme, and he participated in the subsequent attack on the Decepticons' coal strip mine base. Once Bumblebee had extracted combiner technology data from Devastator, Wheeljack and the others retreated. Command Performances!

Upon traveling back to the past from twenty years in the future, Galvatron displaced Optimus Prime, Prowl, and Ratchet to another dimension. Wheeljack was present to witness his leader's sudden vanishment, and was left to believe that he had perished. Wheeljack was later an early casualty of a disastrous attack on Galvatron and his cronies, led by acting Autobot Commander Jetfire. He was not seriously damaged, and was back on his feet in time to see Optimus return and resume command. Target: 2006

To give the Autobots some air (and combiner) power, Wheeljack designed the Aerialbots. However, all but Silverbolt's minds were incomplete when the Autobots were forced to dispatch them prematurely to deal with a Decepticon attack on Hoover Dam. During this mission, the Aerialbots almost killed a human due to their partial programming. Aerialbots over America! Wheeljack later had to erase their minds and unfortunately, by this time, Bombshell had implanted a cerebro-shell in Optimus that, while not controlling him, allowed the Decepticons to tap into the Creation Matrix to create the Stunticons. Heavy Traffic! Wheeljack likely helped build the Protectobots as well (which allowed Megatron to create the Combaticons).

While on monitor duty, Wheeljack learned that the Decepticons had taken control of a NASA space monitoring station, and alerted Optimus to the fact. Prowl, Jetfire, and Trailbreaker were sent out to deal with the situation while Wheeljack stayed at his post. The Gift

Later, he aided Optimus Prime in a plan to temporarily fake his own death, in order to teach the Earth-bound Autobots to learn to cope without him. Wheeljack was the only Autobot Prime told of his plan, probably since Prime needed him to build a facsimile construct in his likeness to be destroyed. When Megatron did destroy the facsimile, even Wheeljack mistakenly believed Prime had been killed. Prey! He somberly watched as his fellow Autobots gathered up the remains of "Optimus Prime," and was comforted by Ratchet before driving back to Autobot headquarters. ...The Harder They Die! A funeral was held for the Autobots' fallen leader, attended by all. At least, until Optimus spontaneously reappeared on Earth standing atop his headstone, and the whole matter was quickly forgotten. Resurrection!

Optimus began to suspect that the Decepticons were anticipating the Autobots' plans a bit too well, and had Wheeljack check his circuitry for any irregularities. Sure enough, Wheeljack found a cerebro-shell inside Optimus's head and removed it. Using some of his technical wizardry, Wheeljack then reversed the shell's audio-feed, allowing him to listen in on the Decepticons. The Autobots learned that their enemies were heading out to attack a hydro-thermocline plant, and Optimus led a team out to confront them. Afterdeath!

Throw open the switches on the sonic oscillator, and step up the reactor power THREE—MORE—TRIANGLES!

After Optimus Prime died for real, Wheeljack was one of the several Autobots who watched on as Ratchet futilely tried to repair his body. Once the Autobot leader was declared irreparable, the Autobots held a funeral service for their leader, and launched his remains into space. Funeral for a Friend! Trypticon attacked the Ark as the Autobots were choosing their new leader. Wheeljack was among the many whose motor skills were inhibited by sonic-scrambler mines launched by the behemoth. Following the battle, the Autobots chose Grimlock as their new leader. King of the Hill! Like Prime before him, Grimlock relied heavily on Wheeljack's skills. Wheeljack tracked down the missing power booster rod, Mechanical Difficulties! and was then tasked with repairing Centurion above all other robots under his care. Wheeljack griped about this latter task all the while he was doing it, complaining that repairing the "ancient relic" was a waste of his time and effort. Ancient Relics! Afterwards, Wheeljack supervised the construction of the Geothermal Generator. By the time the device was complete, Wheeljack was beginning to have serious doubts about Grimlock's leadership, noting to himself that their leader wasn't the brightest bulb in the box. Used Autobots By the time the Ark was repaired and ready for launching, Wheeljack was wondering if he shouldn't be helping the mutinous Blaster out, rather than assisting Grimlock's efforts to capture him. Child's Play

These doubts soon grew into a covert rebellion, as he called in his old friend Sky Lynx to help deal with the situation. Wheeljack acted as the Ark's pilot, once it was spaceborne. He enabled the craft to overtake and capture the Decepticon Blast Off, who was under Blaster's control. When Blast-Off's passengers turned out to be nothing more than four human children, he advised the other Autobots that they could probably lower their weapons.

Welcome to my secret lair on Skullcrusher Mountain. I hope you've enjoyed your stay so far.

Wheeljack did his best to make the four humans welcome and comfortable, fitting them with customized space suits, but soon ran up against Grimlock's monomaniacal quest to bring Blaster to "justice". When Grimlock ordered the humans cast into space in hopes of drawing out Blaster, Wheeljack had Sky Lynx save them. Though the humans were safe, Grimlock captured Blaster anyway, and Wheeljack's attempt at subversion ultimately failed. Spacehikers!

Wheeljack was among the dozens of Autobots who gathered on the moon to watch Blaster and Grimlock battle for Autobot leadership, and subsequently came under Decepticon attack. Totaled! Optimus Prime eventually returned from the dead, and retook command of his forces on Earth. Wheeljack was among those assembled when Fortress Maximus, Grimlock, and Optimus held a conference to discuss the threat of the time-displaced Galvatron on Earth. Though the Autobots planned to attack Galvatron's headquarters, the operation was postponed by the sudden arrival of several Autobots from the year 2009. A great deal of confusion ensued when these time travellers caused Optimus and a handful of other present-day Autobots to be displaced to Limbo with their arrival. Fortress Maximus, believing the new arrivals to be "imposters" ordered the troops to attack them, and Wheeljack helped Scattershot in taking on Blurr. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed, and the Autobots from the present and future joined forces, along with Decepticons from both time periods, to go after Galvatron. Through their efforts, all time-travelers were eventually sent back to their appropriate eras. Time Wars

Wheeljack was assumed destroyed by the Underbase-powered Starscream; like most of his compatriots, he was not seen in action for some time thereafter. Dark Star

Alive.... ALIVE... IT'S ALIIIIIIVE!!!

Grimlock eventually revived him with Nucleon, along with the rest of the Autobots' deactivated roster. The Void! Wheeljack questioned Grimlock on the wisdom of ramming Unicron with the Ark and of charging into battle so soon after being reactivated, but Grimlock just told him to be quiet and fight, before shoving him out the airlock. On the Edge of Extinction!

Mein Führer! I can walk!!

After the defeat of Unicron, Wheeljack was with a handful of Transformers who found Optimus Prime's desiccated remains. He theorized that the Matrix energy unleashed by Unicron's destruction was somehow, just barely, keeping him alive. He mourned Prime's death alongside Prowl, Kup and others after their leader ultimately gave out and expired. Still Life!

Wheeljack had a short altercation with Quake, which was symptomatic of the growing unrest between the two factions. He subsequently discovered the betrayal of the Decepticons, who had sabotaged the Autobot spacecraft before leaving the dying Cybertron. Exodus!

Grimlock saved the day again though, providing some stolen Decepticon cruisers. Wheeljack helped load up these crafts in anticipation of pursuing the Decepticons. A Savage Circle However, when they followed the Decepticons to Klo, the Autobots were ambushed and nearly wiped out. Bludgeon was about to dismember the crippled Wheeljack when he was saved by the timely arrival of the reborn Optimus Prime and the Neo-Knights. End of the Road!

Marvel UK future timelines

[edit]

Wheeljack survived the battle of Autobot City in this timeline, but was later strung up by Quintessons there in 2008, anyway. He wasn't seen after that, though Blaster survived the same treatment, so Wheeljack may have survived. Space Pirates!

Earthforce

[edit]
These stories do not fit into the normal Marvel continuity. See Earthforce for details.

Following Jetfire's defection to the Autobots, Wheeljack became obsessed with the technology the Decepticons had used to bring the jet online, deducing that it could be the means to reactivate those fallen in the Dinobot Hunt. While sneaking about G.B. Blackrock's power plant to uncover some clues to the technology's workings, he bumped into Ravage. Rather than kill him, Ravage offered him a deal: if Wheeljack used Ravage's neuro-control helmet to brainwash Jetfire into returning to the Decepticons, the Decepticons would fork over whatever information Wheeljack needed. Wheeljack returned to base and had Jetfire come to the workshop under the pretense of giving him a tune-up. But despite his distrust of Jetfire, Wheeljack ultimately did not go through with brainwashing him. Returning to the factory, he found it aflame, and realized that Ravage had no intention whatsoever of upholding his end of their bargain.

When Galvatron infiltrated the Ark to brainwash some new troops, Wheeljack was one of the deactivated Autobots he attempted to control. Wheeljack and the others were revived by Galvatron's mind bug, an unexpected side-effect of the device's monitoring of their dreams. The mind bug was crushed, and its controller soon burst into the Ark to investigate. Wheeljack was the first to attack the intruder, but Galvatron proved invulnerable to his blows. Galvatron then slapped mind-control devices onto Wheeljack and Prowl, meant to brainwash them by exploiting their psychological weaknesses. However, Wheeljack proved capable of resisting his base instincts, and using a device he had cobbled together from the remains of the mind bug, put Galvatron in a coma-like state. ...Perchance to Dream Back in action, Wheeljack felt somewhat out of place among the various Headmasters, Targetmasters and Powermasters wandering around the Ark now. On a scouting mission, he and Prowl grumbled to one another about how they just wanted some good ol' fashioned Decepticons to beat up on. Obligingly, the Constructicons Mixmaster and Long Haul showed up right then to stop the Autobots from finding out about their evil plans. Thrilled about fighting bad guys who weren't "MicroHeadTargetmasters with a Pretender shell", Wheeljack and Prowl tracked down the Constructicons' leader, Megatron, nearby, and learned of his plans to destroy Earth's atmosphere with a rocket. Starting Over! While Wheeljack distracted Soundwave and the Stunticons, Prowl leapt aboard the rocket and knocked it off course, saving the planet. Desert Island Risks!

Fresh from their adventure with old, familiar enemies, Wheeljack and Prowl both joined the new Earthforce team Optimus Prime set up under Grimlock's command. As he was pulling double duty as the team's de facto medic and the guy setting up base defences, Wheeljack had less time to be his old 'mad scientist' self. 1990 Wheeljack profile

Operating out of a shuttle in the Canadian wilderness, the Autobots began constructing a larger Earthbase on site. Although the location of their base was unknown, the construction-in-progress was open to attack, and so a 24-hour guard watch was arranged. One dark and stormy night, Wheeljack was trying to keep warm on guard duty using a thermo-heating unit from the ship, but it overheated and started smoking on him. He knocked over a table and lamp while trying to shut off the device and attracted the attention of a polar bear, which ended up chasing him back towards the shuttle. To top it all off, he was jumped from behind by Skydive, who had seen all the mess and mistaken Wheeljack for an attacking Decepticon. It was not Wheeljack's best night ever. Mystery!

Bah. Warm, fuzzy nice-nice! What good is science if nobody gets hurt!?

When a new thought-activated set of nightlights called Sleepfast was released to human buyers, Wheeljack got suspicious and tested the little items. He found not only the presence of Cybertronian technology in the devices, but also evidence that the thought-sensitive nightlights would eventually turn on their owners, allowing them to manipulate the humans' minds as well as read them. Wheeljack took Snarl to investigate the Sleepfast warehouse, only to be swarmed by hundreds of the critters. The mastermind behind the scheme, Mindwipe, then made his presence known to gloat on his plan. The Autobots used the thought-activation effect of the Sleepfasts to will all of the nearby nightlights on at once, the sudden flare overloading Mindwipe's neural circuitry, leaving him unresponsive and foiling his plot. The Living Nightlights!

"Zhose are ze largest trousers in ze vorld!"

Finally, Autobot Earthbase was completed, and Wheeljack called the entire team outside to witness his defense grid in action. Prowl was dubious at the lack of obvious protection, and so Wheeljack handed him the activation remote. Once Prowl hit the button, Wheeljack tossed a rock towards the base, where it was instantly obliterated by the retractable laser cannons. When Prowl expressed concern that someone could knock the defense system offline, Wheeljack assured him that once the defense system was activated, it could only be deactivated from a console inside the base. Prowl paused for a minute, took a head count, then turned hesitantly to Wheeljack and asked, "So who's inside with the console NOW...?"

The response? "Oh..."

While Prowl and the other Autobots braved the defenses in order to reach the console and turn off the security system, Grimlock grabbed Wheeljack by the ankle and shook him out upside-down over the snow for good measure. The House that Wheeljack Built! Wheeljack went to work decentralizing the base's defenses, which unfortunately left it vulnerable to attack in the interim. This coincided with the Decepticons discovering the Earthbase's location, and launching an all-out siege against it. Thankfully, the attack turned out to be nothing more than a distraction from an attempted oil tanker hijacking, and when the theft was foiled by the Survivors, the Decepticons retreated. Divide and Conquer!

From the tempest's fury, the spark ignites—to sire new life! Transmet—wait, we're getting a bit too meta here, aren't we.

When Optimus Prime returned to Earth for an inspection of the new operation, he also brought back Tracks's body for Wheeljack to reactivate in his Body Shop. Grimlock was hardly impressed with the idea of bringing the vain and complaining Tracks back to life, and he tried to derail the process. Despite his efforts, though, Wheeljack not only revived Tracks, but Optimus Prime decreed that Tracks would remain with Earthforce instead of going back on the Ark with him. Makin' Tracks! Later, Wheeljack diagnosed Snarl with Corrodia Gravis, prompting the Autobots to seek out the only compatible Transformer who could give him a systems boost: Starscream. Assassins

Wheeljack was later seen during the Autobots' pursuit of Motormaster, who had kidnapped their ally, Irwin Spoon. He abandoned the chase to check on Prowl after Motormaster ran him off the highway. End of the Road!

In 1990, Optimus unwittingly reunited the surviving members of the Magnificent Six for a mission to the Acid Wastes. He suspected the Underbase's ruins still held a connection to Cybertron's core, which they could tap into to defeat Unicron. Despite the mission's urgency, Wheeljack and the others made excuses to be excluded from it. Optimus was bewildered by this apparent display of cowardice, and sent them forth anyways, with Silverbolt along to round out the team.

As the surviving members of the Magnificent Six delved into the wastes, they found their traumatic memories resurfacing, causing them to hesitate. Though Silverbolt prodded them along best he could, the group became completely paralyzed upon reaching the remnants of Yuss. They were thus incapable of fighting back when they were accosted by a swarm of mutated mechs, survivors of the Neutronic holocaust that they had once failed to prevent. But another ghost from their past held even greater sway over them: Megadeath had also survived, and took the group captive once more! Having realized that his teammates were plagued by past trauma, Silverbolt sought to stir Wheeljack and the others out of their stupor through ridicule, calling the five "the Autobots' resident losers." Further jeering provoked Wheeljack into tackling him down. Jazz broke up their scuffle and suggested that it was time for the truth on what had transpired in Yuss to finally come out. After hearing his comrades' story, Silverbolt convinced them that they were stronger than they thought, and the group's confidence slowly returned. With hate and cold fury driving them, Wheeljack, Jazz, Prowl, Sunstreaker, and Inferno confronted Megadeath while Silverbolt saw to the mutated neutralists being freed from his control. Wheeljack's group battered down their former torturer, only stopping short of the killing blow. But Megadeath would rather kill himself, while taking the Autobots with him, than admit defeat; he breached his own nuclear core, beginning a destructive chain reaction. The Autobots fled to once more avoid annihilation.

Having found closure, the Autobots continued on with their mission, and reached the former site of the Underbase with the neutralists in tow. The Magnificent Six!

Marvel Generation 2 comic

[edit]

While investigating an apparent planet-wide genocide on J'asik, Wheeljack joined Perceptor and First Aid on a science team in attempting to find out just what had destroyed all life on the planet so utterly. Swarm Their findings were so surprising, the team double-checked fifty times before confirming the results: A Cybertronian biological by-product had somehow achieved quasi-sentience and motivation, and was prowling the galaxy as the entity known as the Swarm. The full impact of their discovery was cut short, however, by the arriving armada of Jhiaxus and his second generation Cybertronians, the accidental harbingers of the Swarm. Tales of Earth Part Six The battle with Jhiaxus kept the Transformers occupied long enough for the Swarm to find them on Earth. Presenting a united front, the Autobots and Decepticons desperately attempted to drive back the creature. Wheeljack cooked up a method of dramatically augmenting Frenzy's sonic powers, but while the Decepticon was consumed by the excess power pumping through his system, it seemed to do little good against the Swarm. Wheeljack's fate is unknown. A Rage in Heaven!

When Cliffjumper was revived post-war after languishing on life-support for fifteen years, the first thing the little 'bot did was pester Wheeljack nonstop until the scientist agreed to rebuild his old glass gas gun. Cliffjumper's Classics profile

While investigating an energy source in South America, Rodimus remarked that Wheeljack would have been better at using his device to identify the source. Crossing Over: Part 3

Wheeljack was stationed at the Iron Works when it was invaded by Ultra Magnus and the evil Autobots of the negative polarity universe. Wheeljack tried to defend the Autobot station from attack, but he was cut down by Magnus's Terminus Blade. Invasion

After the heroic Autobots' Earth passed through into the negative universe, however, Wheeljack was eventually rebuilt with a new body. He also constructed a mental spanner that allowed Soundwave to project his consciousness from that universe's Cybertron to Earth, moving between bodies. Solar Requiem

Wheeljack was present at the arrival of the GoBots' Interdimensional Exploration Team and their ally, the Solarbot. He approved of the science behind their plan to use the Caretaker supercomputer and Rarified Energon to potentially heal their broken universe. He had also devised a transdimensional communicator through which they could contact their home Level. Journey's Eve

Wheeljack and Perceptor continued their analysis of positive-Earth's Rarified Energon, and discovered anomalies indicating the substance may actually be alive. When the world started to shake up, Wheeljack and the others were evacuated in time to see the truth: Earth was actually a secret Transformer named Gaea and the Rarefied Energon was actually her lifeblood! Of course! It was so obvious! The Future Buried...

Regeneration One

Regeneration One continues from the Marvel US series, and does not include the UK stories or any subsequently published stories.

When Optimus Prime discovered Megatron was still active on Earth in 2012, he took a detachment of Autobots, including Wheeljack, to confront the insane tyrant. They found Megatron just before he killed Springer, one of the Wreckers who had uncovered Megatron's activities on Earth. Loose Ends, Part 4 While the two leaders clashed, Wheeljack and the others fought off Megatron's zombie army until the signal reanimating the "Ex-Bots" was shut off and they fell inactive to the ground. Loose Ends, Part 5 Afterwards, Wheeljack, Cosmos, Red Alert, and Smokescreen were given the unenviable task of clearing away the fallen zombies, throwing them into a huge pit where they could be vaporized from orbit. Natural Selection, Part One

After returning to Cybertron, Wheeljack helped with the clean-up and medevac after the assault of the Warworld. The War to End All Wars, Part 1 He led one of Rodimus Prime's assault teams on Jhiaxus's Hub Network, commanding Powerglide, Scattershot, Blades, and Groove aboard Lancer One. Although they successfully carried out their mission, Jhiaxus was prepared for them and the Autobots' attack fell to pieces when they were overwhelmed by his forces. Rodimus Prime was forced to surrender and the Autobots were rounded up and imprisoned. The War to End All Wars, Part 3 Wheeljack was among those who escaped and returned to Cybertron, only to find that almost all the Transformers left on the planet had been converted into life-sapping shadow-leeches by the Dark Matrix Creature. If Wheeljack survived, once Rodimus Prime had sealed off their universe from the multiverse to defeat the Matrix entity, all surviving Cybertronians were rendered mortal, including Wheeljack, who eventually died of old age.
