Toys

Prime

• Wheeljack Kunai (Gacha Arms Micron, 2012)
  • Energon Crystal: HP Cure

Wheeljack Kunai is an Arms Micron figure that transforms from a robot resembling Wheeljack's robot mode into a dagger, compatible with the Arms Micron weapon system via numerous 5 mm posts and holes.

He was part of the third wave of Gacha Arms Microns.

• Wheeljack Kunai MX (Gacha Arms Micron, March 2013)
  • ID number: 6
  • Energon Crystal: HP Cure

At the very tail-end of Prime, all twelve Gacha molds were re-released all in one go as a "Special Edition" wave through the capsule machines. The Autobots were cast in clear-blue "Matrix Power Up!" forms, retaining their normal paint operations, though the eyes have changed from blue to red (making the toy highly evocative of Slicer) . Wheeljack Kunai's red and black paint has an added metal-flake sheen not present in the original.

Notes

• Typical kunai have a hoop at the end of the handle, which Wheeljack Kunai lacks. The term does fit with Prime Wheeljack's portrayal as a samurai in the Japanese dub, except they're more associated with ninjas.
• Wheeljack Kunai and the other Arms Microns with robot modes resembling larger show-cast characters are considered separate characters by this wiki on the grounds that for years, the only fiction we have on them is the over-arcing backstory of the Arms Microns: non-living weapons were exposed to special Earth energon and turned into living miniature robots. Obviously, being a new form for Wheeljack doesn't really work with this. Earth Wars eventually went with this, depicting someone who looks like Wheeljack but isn’t him.
