We get two good looking iterations of ol'Wheeljack, and you ask God to smite him? Why? Why would you want that for this often neglected and misnamed bot?

Of course not, He's going to blow up the base.

it's very refreshing to see character like him come back. He's such great personality.

I hope he is permanent. I agree totally, if he carries over his G1 personality will be an awesome edition.

I think Wheeljack looks pretty good here.
I've said it in past but, to me the only designs I don't like from this show are Optimus and BB's. Optimus could use a few more differences from his movie self (it's basically cut & paste) and BB being a muscle car will never sit well with me. Y'know, BBs supposed to be puny but still pack a mean sting, hence the name, but at the same time I would have no problem with Cliffjumper being a muscle car, even if that meant him being a different car from BB. No one ever said they were brothers.
So look, I'm not completely bias, I just have personal preferences ok.

Of course things won't go to plan, Wheeljack's inventions never do!!!

Was trying to figure out who was going to make the snide remark on this thread: you or Griftimus Prime...
I love this series...it's great to see the homages to the various lines. Glad to see it was picked up for a second season.

Yeah, this series feels like it is being taken a little more seriously than some of the other shows. The animation is quality and the pesky human stuff isn't bothering me as much as they have in the past. I can go along with a lot of change in the Transformers world, I just can't get behind the Bayverse designs. This is like a watered down version, and Wheeljack looks like Wheeljack!! Just pleasant.

*whew* And here I was thinking that I was gonna have to step up and risk my neck but since you placed yours out there first, I'll say that at this point I'm divided between him being offed or being a traitor. Shoot, it could even be him being a traitor and then making a last minute sacrifice to redeem himself at the very end of the episode. Whatever way it goes, I would not count on him lasting beyond this one episode.
I'm not at all saying that I WANT to see any of those scenarios play out, he was one of my faveorites from G1, but if they're willing to outright kill off Cliffjumper then at this point everyone is fair game for death/deception.

Questionable. Universe Cyclonus prevented the release of Animated Cyclonus. Don't really see Jack as an overwhelming popular character that would get two toy releases in a year, and the odds worsen especially if he's just a one-off character like Skyquake.

I can't say for sure that Skyquake was a one-off character. I fully suspect he will be back in later episodes. Just a hunch. WHy kill off a character when you can make a perfectly good action figure out of him? $$$ talks after all...

He looks great from the still shot but it will be interesting to see where they go with his voice.

Yep, It's the other Wheeljack. Good call.
He is an old friend of on of the main cast after all. Honestly we should have all seen this coming from a mile away.
Watched the promo again... Now that I'm a little more awake I can see I may not be so right about this. Still, why the swords? It's pretty clear that this is an homage to the Armada character, but I was kinda hoping Drift could make his first TV appearance in this show, and now the Samurai seat is taken.

Personally, tho I greatly want to see a G1 reunion alongside the new Arcee & Bulkhead standard core cast groupings (already marred with CJs death & Ironhides mysterious absence), I am now becoming interested in seeing the Movieverse wreckers (plus more new wreckers) get incorporated into Prime as well. I'm thinking it may be in the works but they're untouched so far because one may die in Dotm.Just sayin'.
Also, tho it would be nice to see Arcee get more team-mates from her class (and a departure from bike sized females only!) I hope sincerely they don't redo Animated Prowl (bodywise) and instead consider Groove or a newer Autobiker such as Backfire et al.(Animated Prowl personality wise, or Armada Red Alert Personality wise- no complaints from me!!!).
