- Wheeljack is an evil Autobot from the "Shattered Glass" continuity family.
Wheeljack is a mad scientist in both senses of the word: crazy and angry. He's been laughed out of the Autobot ranks, and he's itching for a chance to prove his inventions aren't worthless.
Fiction
Shattered Glass
Wheeljack created an army of Dinobots to rain vengeance upon Optimus Prime for laughing at his genius. Dramatically riding into battle upon the head of a sauropod-styled Dinobot, Wheeljack proclaimed his intentions. However, Optimus convinced Wheeljack that if his Dinobots were able to take out the Decepticons, he would be welcomed back into the fold. Upon being ordered to attack the Decepticons, the enthusiastic beasts gave out a rousing battle cry. Then they turned on each other. As punishment for his failure, Wheeljack found himself performing degradingly basic repairs to the Ark's computer systems and was told that, should he sabotage the ship, he would be on it when it launched.

Following the Ark's crash onto Earth, Rodimus ordered Wheeljack to adjust the ship's computer Teletraan-X to accept commands from only the two of them. After that was done, he, Rodimus, and Goldbug, aided by some human allies, infiltrated and took over Burpleson Air Force Base, a command station for a human orbital defense weapon. When the Decepticons attacked the base, Wheeljack was somewhat damaged and wandering the corridors when he was accosted by Ravage and a Decepticon-allied human who accused him, him of being crazy. So he gave chase. Eye in the Sky
Notes
- Wheeljack's body is based on Energon Downshift, while his colors are based on Slicer, who is a redeco of Wheeljack's Action Master toy.
