This article is about a character or concept which lacks any official name or designation. |
- "Marlboor Wheeljack" is an unnamed Decepticon from the Dreamwave portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
"Marlboor Wheeljack" is a huge gladiatorial games fan.
Fiction
Dreamwave Generation One continuity
Marlboor Wheeljack was one of many Decepticons in the Kaon gladiator arena to witness Megatron's execution of the corrupt Emirate Xeon, signaling the beginning of their uprising. He was standing right next to a jet-helicopter Decepticon. The War Within #2
Marlboor Wheeljack and the jet-helicopter Decepticon were in Iacon when Starscream's botched mechaforming attempt leveled the city. He and his pal were unprepared when Shockwave ordered troops to fall back to Kolkular rather than be destroyed. The War Within #6
Notes
- Though unnamed and indeed nonspeaking in his fictional appearances, "Marlboor Wheeljack" is referred to as such here due to being a cameo appearance of a Diaclone variant of the toy that would become Wheeljack. The toy features a retooled head and a different color scheme with "Marlboor" endorsements.
- His deco is specifically based on one of two Series 5 Stratos racing cars produced, the other being the car on which Wheeljack was based, though Marlboor Wheeljack's deco doesn't strive for the same level of accuracy. The original car on which his deco was based no longer exists as it was destroyed in a fire caused by its overheated engine.[1] Irony!
- Marlboor Wheeljack is not the only Decepticon Wheeljack look-alike in the Transformers universe.
- This deco would later be homaged by Prime "Hyperspeed" Wheeljack.
