"Marlboor Wheeljack" is a fan nickname for 1983 Diaclone remold of the G1 Wheeljack toy with a racing deco based on Marlboro cigarettes, though its stickers instead read 'Marlboor' for trademark reasons. The toy was never released as a Transformer, but a Decepticon based on the toy has appeared in several comics beginning in 2002.

Marlboor Wheeljack presumably took part in Shockwave's initial assault on Iacon.

Marlboor Wheeljack and the Jet-Helicopter Triplechanger were in the Iacon when Starscream (G1)'s botched mechaforming attempt leveled the city. Marlboor Wheeljack and the Triplechanger were unprepared when Shockwave ordered troops to fall back to Kokular rather than be destroyed.WarWithinV1#6

Marlboor Wheeljack was not seen again. It is unclear if he escaped Iacon, though many Autobots in the area area survived thanks to the timely suspension of the mechaforming proscess.

Trivia

• 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 featured a retooled head and a different color scheme with "Marlboor" endorsements.
