Fiction
IDW Dark of the Moon prequel comics
Thousands of years ago on Cybertron, Wheeljack was one of Sentinel Prime's followers. He was a crucial figure in the culmination of Sentinel Prime's plan to save the dying planet: While Sentinel's other pupils held off an attack by the heretic Thetacons, Wheeljack's technical skills went to work creating a device that warped time and space, teleporting a sun into Cybertronian space. The sun's energy revitalized the AllSpark, bringing life and energy back to Cybertron, and Wheeljack calmly remarked that, wouldn't you know it, it seemed they'd only gone and saved the world.

 Spoiler warning: Plot details for Rising Storm issue 4 follow. |
In the present day, Wheeljack traveled to Earth with his comrade, Mirage. They arrived in Philadelphia to help Bumblebee and Sam Witwicky just in the nick of time, saving them from Sonar and other Decepticons. Rising Storm issue 2 Wheeljack generated a powerful force field to shield Sam and other human bystanders as they ran from the battle. Rising Storm issue 3 Once Optimus Prime arrived with reinforcements, he ordered Wheeljack to extend the field in order to keep the Decepticons from escaping. Though the scientist was blown apart by Shockwave moments later, he managed to follow orders and recalibrate the force field, trapping Shockwave inside it with a very unhappy Optimus Prime. After Prime defeated Shockwave, Ratchet examined Wheeljack's broken body and reported that he could be repaired, though he probably wouldn't look the same afterwards. Rising Storm issue 4

Wheeljack arrived on Earth some time after Optimus Prime and his team, apparently at the same time as Hoist and Sideswipe. At that time, the Autobots were coming under attack from an army of Decepticon drones, and Wheeljack was able to concoct a virus that would send the drones back into sleep mode. Hound and Trailbreaker were charged with transmitting the virus to an orbiting satellite, broadcasting it to all the drones simultaneously. Although they succeeded, Wheeljack was left with the unfortunate task of relaying to Optimus Prime that Hound had died in the process.
A little later, Wheeljack accompanied the Autobots on their mission to the Hoover Dam, and was seen escaping the complex when the Decepticons attacked. Transformers The Game (PSP)
