Wheeljack is by far the most talked about design of the film. Not only because of how different it is to the G1 design but how different it is to the one we saw in the Bumblebee film, which shows more disregard to continuity (for those still clinging onto that within the live action Transformers films). Well we have more images of the Rise of the Beasts mainline deluxe toy below coming from both Reddit and kentan99 and we can see that the giant glasses can be removed. They are clear plastic though, so they did break in half in one instance, as we see in the images (may have been intentional, rather than accidental, we do not know yet). We also have a shot from PrimevsPrime showing what it may look like with the suspenders part properly transformed. As of now, no one has the instructions, so the accurate look/transformation is not 100% certain.
Let us know if this sways you into probably picking it up if you see him.

I LOVE every single aspects of that Wheeljack. And if people just can't accept him as "Wheeljack" just call him "Larry" or "Bob." No matter the name, it doesn't change the fact that the bot is a brilliant design with a very groovy vehicle mode.

I think it's a neat figure as well. The only two things that bother me are
1) The duck mouth. He doesn't need to have the G1 grill/mask. I get it; they want to use mouths to emote. But that particular design is off-putting to me.
2) I wish they had made the highlight color green instead of tan, as a reference to the G1 Wheeljack. A vintage army-ish green would look great on a camper van.

This is one of the dumbest things I’ve seen. Removable glasses on a robot. Gotta show people he’s the smart robot, we’ll make him a nerd, by giving him glasses. This is such 1980s frat boy thinking it’s ridiculous.

I don't see these as glasses now. The way they are designed, they are more like safety goggles and are similar to the kinds that scientists wear in the laboratory. That kind of adds to that "mad scientist" vibe. I'm curious to see the SS version compared to this one.

Removable glasses? Great now we can recreate all our favorite scenes from the movie, like this one:
We should probably wait until we see how he looks in the movie, I doubt the toy could do proper removable glasses without them being big and chunky on a non-SS figure. That's assuming they were meant to be removed in the first place.

Still sucks ass, still a joke design that doesn't fit in a pg-13 movie about preventing the chaos bringer. Not that difficult to think of a design that fits the narrative. They're not goggles either, they're big dumb Beetlejuice glasses.

An easy nope. Baybots are a hard sell for me in the first place, but calling this Wheeljack just tells me they're just using names at random and really don't actually give a shit about the character. Y'all can have mine.

Vicegripx on Instagram posted several more images of upcoming toys for Rise of the Beasts. They include Mainline Wheeljack and Cheetor along with Studio Series Airazor and Battletrap, showing you how they all scale with eachother. He also showed that it is possible to put the Bumblebee Wheeljack's head on the new Wheeljack, just as a fun mod. Here is what he says about that:
Look! I did a thing!
It’s a loose fit, so you’ll want to cram something else in there to get BBM Wheeljack’s head to stay on RotB Wheeljack’s body. You’ll also need to turn the head sideways to transform him.

Or, with no expectation that a live-action TF movie ever respect a G1 gimmick, that this figure's arms-to-legs body proportion's all worng? Arms too short, legs too long?

The proportions are a bit wonky, though it may be completely accurate to the cgi model, but we'll have to wait and see on that one (or the original design was like that and the character could have been altered slightly in the one year delay)
Also, I've spotted a smilely face in battletrap's chest and now I can't unsee it

It's his arms! He can't even scratch his own codpiece because his arms are too short. On the average person, the arms come down to about mid thigh. His are at his enemy scrotum. Next to figures with normal length arms like Cheetor, it looks goofy and odd.

They completely ruined my favorite Autobot.
They completely ruined my favorite combiner team. (Terrorcons)
And they ruined my favorite Insecticon team, the 4 deluxe Insecticons. I gave up on ever getting the full team/set unless I go back & buy the crappy G1 toys.
There is really no need for me to continue collecting this franchise. I will pick up BB movie Skywarp & titan Nemesis and finish up my leader Dinobots but that's about it. I might also try to get the full set of BB movie Autobots but I'm really not motivated anymore. I lost interest with Kingdom & they're not doing a damned thing to get me interested again. Everything just keeps getting worse & worse. Maybe that new video game will be good?

I can sympathize. They haven't put out anything in a LONG time that I felt I just HAD to have. I collected all the combiners from Combiner Wars, but after that it's been barely a handful of figures from the lines that followed. The fact the store shelves around here have been practically empty since POTP hasn't helped either. None of the kiddie lines or Baybot mess interest me at all, so I'm having a REALLY hard time staying interested.

Cannot wait to have her, a badass bot mode and a slick alt-mode, a fun reimagining of the character. It might just be me, but her head is reminiscent of BW Scorponok, his toy head at least.

The more I see of these, the easier it makes me skip this line.

Some modifications might help. The end result will be a sight to behold.

It's not since the peg hole in the ROTB head is too small

Can't really say I'm a fan of the colour. I wish they used the original grey/silver. Same concern with Wheeljack: nice figure overall, missing the classic paint scheme.

Nightbird's a pass. Quite a bit of good idea (sword as spoiler, the claws, love the headsculpt) thrown into the design, but I find the end result wanting, especially the whole of the car's front as the chest, Datsun bros-style and the top-heavy proportion that I don't like for a fembot (if Hasbro can design her chest like the recent SS Hot Rod that'd be great). But I'll look forward to how she appeared in the movie and hope for a good SS version instead.
Wheeljack, I kind of like the toy design, especially the alt mode. But this has Michael Bay's signature stereotype written all over it ("Oh we're doing Wheeljack? Bring in all the clichés to humiliate all nerds!"). I'm afraid I'll HATE the toy after seeing the movie.
Battletrap's alt mode is great. Bot came out oddly blocky looking though, and has the same top-heavy proportion problem as Nightbird in bot mode, but that's a minor complaint. Should be a get.
The Beasts are all pretty good and are the most exciting part of ROTB for me, in the movie OR the figures.

I’m never adding a movie-verse group to my collection.
The only one of these that is remotely tempting for me is Airazor.
Even though the bot face is a bit cartoonish imo, the molded detail, colors, overall form, and alt mode are all really solid.
One thing I’ll give this line is the variety.
Not just because some have beast alt modes.
But even between Arcee, Wheeljack, Nightbird, Freezer, & Battletrap; they each look unique.
Imo that’s a really good thing.

I used to LOVE this franchise (excluding Beast Machines & Animated).
What the hell happened??? I don't even recognize it anymore.

All you post recently is sadness and negativity.
You all right, bro?

Just looked at the Scourge photos in the Toy News section of this site, and man, I am going to be tempted to get that guy.
He has a Lockdown meets TLotR Nazgûl appearance, and I really dig the smaller, asymmetric details, and the dark color scheme.
This definitely has my attention, which is surprising considering the vast majority of times movie figures usually don’t get a second glance.
