Signature Ability – Force Shield
Wheeljack’s emergency Force Shield allows him to survive both potentially deadly attacks and catastrophic mishaps in the lab.
75%, 50%, 25% Health
if an enemy attack would reduce Wheeljack’s health below 75%, 50% or 25%, Force Shield will activate, reducing all damage from enemy attacks by 100% for 2~8 seconds.

10% Chance to deal Stun for 3 second.

Synergy Bonuses:

Wheeljack provides all Autobot team members a random Passive Upgrade each fight. Upgrades grant either +2~8% Attack Rating, +5~10% Damage Resistance, or +5~15% Power Rate for the duration of the fight.
Outgoing – Brain Gain – Shockwave
Shockwave has a 10~30% chance to inflict Stun for 2 seconds when inflicting 3 or more Shocks simultaneously.
Incoming – Brain Drain – Shockwave
25% Increase to Attack against Demolition Bots. Shockwave only gets this benefit if all bots on his team have this synergy.
Strong Match-ups:
Ironhide – Ironhide’s low Critical Rating for his Melee Attacks will make it difficult for this demo bot to remove Wheeljack’s upgrades.
Galvatron – Galvatron’s powerful burst damage will be contained by Wheeljack’s Force Shield Signature Ability.
Weak Match-ups:
Bumblebee GS – Bee’s ability to Shield Break will ensure the Force Shield is only a minor nuisance.
Drift – Drift’s frequent Critical Melee Hits will throw a wrench in Wheeljack’s plans.
Recommended Modules for Wheeljack:
Tech Console – The tech console will improve Shocks, Shielding and Repair.
Transwarp Cell – The Transwarp Cell mod will ensure that Wheeljack is fully Upgraded by making him use Heavy Attacks more often.
