- Energon Crystal: HP Cure
- Part of the third wave of TakaraTomy's Gacha Arms Microns, Wheeljack Kunai is an Arms Micron figure that transforms from a robot resembling Wheeljack's robot mode into a kunai-style dagger. It is compatible with the Arms Micron weapon system via numerous 5 mm posts and holes, enabling the weapon mode to be combined with other Arms Microns to assemble bigger and more ridiculous weapons.

- Energon Crystal: HP Cure
- At the very tail-end of Prime, all twelve Gacha molds were re-released all in one go as a "Special Edition" wave through the capsule machines. The Autobots were cast in clear-blue "Matrix Power Up!" forms, retaining their normal paint operations, though the eyes have changed from blue to red (making the toy highly evocative of Slicer) . Wheeljack Kunai's red and black paint has an added metal-flake sheen not present in the original.
Notes
[edit]- Typical kunai (苦無) have a hoop at the end of the handle, which Wheeljack Kunai lacks. The term does fit with Prime Wheeljack's portrayal as a samurai in the Japanese dub, except the weapon is more associated with ninjas.
- Wheeljack Kunai and the other Arms Microns with robot modes resembling larger show-cast characters are considered separate characters by this wiki on the grounds that for years, the only fiction we have on them is the over-arcing backstory of the Arms Microns: non-living weapons were exposed to special Earth energon and turned into living miniature robots. Obviously, being a new form for Wheeljack doesn't really work with this. Earth Wars eventually went with this, depicting someone who looks like Wheeljack but isn’t him.
