Wuji (ウージ Ūji) is Wheeljack's Arms Micron partner. He's an inventor with a weakness for bad jokes.

O.P. and B.B. suggested he build a giant Optimus Prime-like mech that could transform into a mobile base for the Arms Microns to ride, an idea which got him increasingly excited up until B.B. added that it should be the size of Mount Fuji. While Wuji rejected this impossible demand, O.P. was still confident that he could do it if he got a new year's present of about four million yen or so. Freezing Transformation!

Notes
[edit]- "Wuji" is meant to be evocative of "W.J." in Japanese. However, a full pronunciation of "Double-u Jay" (ダブリュージェイ) would cause the name to be too long, so the writers decided to represent the "W" sound with a long "u" sound, as Japanese lacks a "wu" phoneme, and "J" with "ji", the simplest character with that sound. Basically, "Wuji", as "Ūji", ties the sounds of the "W" and the "J" into a single "word".
- To go with Wheeljack's samurai theme in the Japanese dub, Wuji speaks in a dialect associated with Edokko, long-time natives of Tokyo (formerly Edo).
