Wheeljack

**Wheeljack** (ホイルジャック, *Hoirujakku*), also referred as "**Jackie**" (ジャッキー, *Jakkī*), is both a fictional character and protagonist of the *MDC's* *Transformer Titans* series created by Sam Register and Bob Haney. He is one of the roughest mad scientist Autobots around.

As a a member of the Ministry of Science and Science Guild, he likes inventing weapons, armor, explosives and everything else you could want to battle Decepticons. Skilled at solving engineering issues, he is frequently paired for special projects with Perceptor.

And as one of the surviving Wreckers, he's seen plenty of action, and he's got the snarky one-liners to prove it. If there's anything he likes more than slicing with his swords or inventing new gadgets to blow stuff up in different ways, it's hanging with his old buddy, Bulkhead.

He is always inventing and experimenting with new weapons and gadgets. But, it's just a pity that he gets so enthusiastic about his work that he sometimes ends up just blowing stuff up. On the other hand as a Wrecker, he loves blowing up alien technology.

"*Wheeljack. The one who enjoys explosive devices.*"

—Megatron, on Wheeljack.

## Abilities and Powers

Ultra Magnus is incredibly tough as he was able knock out Starscream with a single punch and lift the Forge of Solus Prime with ease. He is also a skilled pilot being able to fly his ship and the Nemesis. It has been shown that he is a brilliant military tactician as he planned a sly assault on Darkmount, which succeeded in getting rid of Predaking before it attacked.

He is capable of hand-to-hand combat and is capable of performing various forms of battle tactics. Though he has been able to beat any Decepticon he has come across, he seems to struggle with others like Megatron, out of Ultra Magnus' range, having been unable to beat him one on one and was severely crippled and nearly killed by Shockwave with him ending up in a hospital bed.

## History

### Past

#### Early years

Before the Great War, Wheeljack worked closely with Shockwave, helping his colleague build his helper drones and showing off the prototype to a crowd at Maccadam's. Wheeljack was present at Maccadam's when the Iacon City Cube team won.

#### Battles of Cybertron

##### Typticon Incident

Wheeljack joined as a member of the Wreckers alongside Bulkhead, Leadfoot, Impactor, Roadbuster, Rotorstorm, Seaspray, Topspin and Pyro. Wheeljack took part in the Battle of Darkmount Pass, where he took out a group of Decepticons to get the Wreckers across a smelting pit.

##### During the War

During the Great War, Wheeljack fled across a battlefield alongside Bumblebee and Prowl only to realize they had become separated from the latter. As Wheeljack attempted to deter Bumblebee from going back for their wounded friend, Optimus Prime arrived, carrying Prowl on his shoulders whereupon he ordered Wheeljack to go find Ratchet.

He took part in an unnamed battle on Sandokan where he and Bulkhead became surrounded by Decepticons and low on Energon. However, Wheeljack threw a grenade into a smelter, causing it to explode and take out the attackers.

#### Preparing Departure

Four million years ago, on Cybertron, Wheeljack was sent on a mission with Bulkhead and Bumblebee to search for any available energy that could be found on the drained planet. The trio located some energy conductors, even though neither he or Bulkhead didn't believe they would last a quartex.

On the return trip to Iacon, the pair were attacked by a team of Decepticons, but Wheeljack was able to break through their barricade of fire using his bumper-mounted cutting blades and then eluded their pursuers by heading underground. Despite their successful return with the conductors, Optimus Prime decided to search for the lost AllSpark before the Decepticons got to it.

Wheeljack was among the Autobots selected to embark on this mission, he devoted his time to improving the ship's systems to speed up their search for the AllSpark though his results were mostly met with explosions and a quick consumption of the ship's increasingly limited energon reserves.

But in mid-flight, the *Ark* found itself confronted by the *Nemesis* and the two ships engaged in a fierce battle that was abruptly concluded when both passed through an unstable G-force of the nearby planet.

By that moment Optimus had ordered everyone into stasis pods, Wheeljack had managed to boost the power of the Ark's scanners by a power of 10. With these modifications, Teletraan-1 was able to pick up the AllSpark... a second after the crew had entered stasis and the ship crash landed in Mount St. Hilary on prehistoric Earth.
