Wheeljack is indispensable to the Autobot cause, inventing weapons, armor, explosives and everything else you could want to battle Decepticons. It's just a pity that he gets so enthusiastic about his work that he sometimes ends up just blowing stuff up.

Before the Great War, Wheeljack worked closely with Shockwave, helping his colleague build his helper drones and showing off the prototype to a crowd at Maccadam's. Maccadam's

During the Great War, Wheeljack fled across a battlefield alongside Bumblebee and Prowl only to realize they'd become separated from the latter. As Wheeljack attempted to deter Bumblebee from going back for their wounded friend, Optimus Prime arrived, carrying Prowl on his shoulders whereupon he ordered Wheeljack to go find Ratchet.

Part of the Ark crew, Wheeljack devoted his time to improving the ship's systems to speed up their search for the AllSpark though his results were mostly met with explosions and a quick consumption of the ship's increasingly limited energon reserves. By the time that Optimus had ordered everyone into stasis pods, Wheeljack had managed to boost the power of the Ark's scanners by a power of 10. With these modifications, Teletraan-1 was able to pick up the AllSpark... a second after the crew had entered stasis. The Journey

After Shockwave had hacked into Bumblebee's cortical psychic patch, he trapped the scout in a false memory that painted him as a Decepticon spy. Within the memory, Bumblebee had sabotaged the energon filtration systems of engines five and seven, an act witnessed by Wheeljack. When the engineer confronted Bumblebee about this, the scout stunned him and threw him out an airlock only for Ratchet to catch him in the act. Brought back aboard, Wheeljack attended Bumblebee's court martial where he dramatically pointed Bumblebee out to the viewing gallery. Sabotage

Notes

• As with the rest of the Cyberverse cast, Wheeljack's design is based on the evergreen design inspired by his Generation 1 counterpart, complete with translucent energy "bandages" where he's blown himself up. He takes a number of liberties with the design, though — most notably, he drops the base design's ridged faceplate for a mustache-and-beard combo inspired by Animated Wheeljack (which was previously homaged as a hidden feature on Masterpiece Wheeljack).
• A generic that carries the Plague of Rust to Velocitron in "Terminal Velocity" reuses Wheeljack's animation model.
