Luckily, thanks to how Steve Blum portrayed that Wheeljack in Bumblebee, they can't be the same Wheeljack anyway.

Bee movie Wheeljack was voiced like a gruff old war veteran who's getting up there in his years (which actually aligns with how Que was portrayed as being even older in DOTM), while ROTB Wheeljack was voiced like a much younger character, sounding like he had just recently graduated high school. Aging doesn't work backwards.

Well it could. Who knows how Cybertronians work?

But I think there's some connective tissue. They gave RotB Wheeljack G1 head fins for a reason.

But also Bumblebee and RotB were helmed by two different creative teams. Broad plot points were likely kept in mind but I seriously doubt anyone cared enough to say "we can't call this character Wheeljack it doesn't fit with that last movie."

They had an idea for a character and grabbed a name, and that was that in all likelihood.

Steven Caple Jr. has also confirmed that he's a separate Wheeljack.

With ROTB Wheeljack, if they had just called him Que, I think people would be more open about the character desgin, then ever since I heard Prime V Prime, saying he looks like Elon John, I can't help myself and call that desgin, Elon John as he looks very much like him! Thou out of the Autobots in ROTB, I only got Optimus & Mirage SS, while OP I also got the mainline verison, not a fan of movie BB in general, thou for me, it kind of boils down to the fact, he got no personalty and the only thing that makes him stand out, is the noises he makes for speech and for me, its growing tiresome as his character is now defined by that gimmick and yet, its growing stale!

More like Steve Urkel.

"And I will hug him, and squeeze him, and call him George..."

I feel like I should recognize the jet, but I'm coming up blank?

 

[3210Self-Destruct]

Reactivate Starscream, I think?

 

[Platypus Prime]

Oh. I mistook it for a Robotech Veritech.

It's the VF-31C from Macross Delta (specifically the Tiny Sessions toy of it) lol.

 

[Platypus Prime]

I was close! Not really, but I will claim I was anyway because this is the internet and no one is allowed to admit they were wrong. And Black Zarak is a remold of Combiner Wars Silverbolt, too!

 

[3210Self-Destruct]

Ah, I know nothing of Robotech/Macross and the like. One of those anime that was in the background of my attention during my youth.

Lookit that, I actually have something that applies to the thread theme for once. A trip to the local shop proved fruitful.

Now with double the Kup!

Double the pleasure!
Double the fun!
He's the right one!

Bought a vintage Buddy-L Robot Rider the other day. It doesn't work anymore, but it's still a fun way for the Micromasters to get to work.

Frenzy is my co-pilot

The old advertising for the thing said it would work with Transformers or Gobots, but the compartments are sadly too small for standard sized Gobots. Just right for Micromasters, though.

Luckily, even if you don't have anyone to ride in it, there are stickers inside to make it look like it's chock full of robots.

Specifically, robots from Robo Force, from the looks of them

It'd be way too small for Robo Force. Those guys were pretty big.

Buddy-L had their own line of transforming robots called Robotron. Realizing now, though, that even they were too big to fit in with the canopy closed.

Isn't that just a knock-off of Go-bots Turbo?

 

[Donocropolis]

It's definitely an original mold, but it does borrow a lot from Turbo.

 

[Sabrblade]

They remind me of Moto-Bots.
