Among the various shells that Wheeljack could fire from his shoulder cannons were gyro-inhibitor shells, which implanted themselves upon impact and destroyed the balance of their victims. Wheeljack's Universe profile

Later, when the Decepticons assaulted Autobot Headquarters, Wheeljack used what Gears called just a "gyro-inhibitor", with no shells involved. This ability, which took the form of waves emanating from his head, was used to cause incoming missiles to explode in midair. B.O.T.
Dreamwave Generation One continuity
Wheeljack's shoulder-mounted cannons could fire a variety of shells, including a gyro-inhibitor shell that disrupted its target's balance center. Wheeljack's More than Meets the Eye profile
2005 IDW continuity
When he and Hot Rod were surrounded by the Machination's Sunstreaker clones, Wheeljack fired a gyro-inhibitor shell into the air, where it exploded and rained lots of tiny shells down on their attackers. Though the clones were imbued with all of Sunstreaker's knowledge, Sunstreaker wasn't really one for paying attention to Wheeljack's inventions, and as such they were completely unprepared for the shell's effects. While they were busy falling over and driving in circles, the two Autobots made their escape. Devastation issue 3
