- Transformers: Legacy Origin Wheeljack comes with two "fan blade" accessories that plug into his front bumper, recreating the scene from "More than Meets the Eye, Part 1" in which Wheeljack deploys rotors. However, the fans are not especially show-accurate, as designer Mark Maher also intended them to double as dominator disks. In accordance with this intent, the toy's instructions illustrate how the disks can be pegged onto the end of Wheeljack's shoulder cannon, recreating the moment from "The Core" in which Wheeljack attaches a disk to his cannon and fires it at Hook.
