Armada Wheeljack

I gotta say, over all I am impressed with him.

The color scheme looks quite sharp and he looks very slick in car mode. His robot mode is quite slick too and is similar to fan-faves of days past like Sideswipe and Red Alert. Also, Windsheer is a pretty cool looking mini-con.

Overall he's pretty damn slick.

I'm trying to customize the Wheeljack I got into G1 Sideswipe... but now I've gotta re-apply the primer...

I wanted to get one today, but they were out at the store.

I did get a Hoist, and a Thrust though.

Blast you! Where did you find a Thrust? They seem to be extinct around here

Thrust must have been a limited figure at first, but the one I got today was original, but with the Unicron Battles sticker on the front which is new.

Keep looking, I am sure you will find him too.

Armada Wheeljack is indeed a good toy. I have yet to open my Thrust, Hoist, Rhinox, AirRazor, or Terrosaur i pivked up the other day at wal-mart.

I'm not sure how scarce wheeljack is, was debating about going back and grabbing 2nd wheeljack to use as trade at OTFCC

Screw looking at this point. I've been checking everywhere I can get to. I'll just order Strato w/ Air Military Team from HLJ.com. Kill two cyberducks with one laser blast

My theory must be correct because the Wal-Mart had 4 of them today, and I got the only Wheeljack ...woot!

Hearing this sorta thing makes me wonder if it was a good idea for me to customize my Armada Wheeljack (since I only bought one)... Then I look at it and think it was worth it. It really does look like 80's Sideswipe, but with more posability and a few modifications.

They just came out, Wheeljack should be distributed in larger numbers in a few weeks.

Got Wheeljack today. Bigger than I expected him to be. Pretty cool all in all.

I got wheeljack yesterday. It is a cool one. I only wish they made the decepticon symbol on his hood a tiny bit bigger. But I love the idea of his character.

got mine yesterday, and just opened it (been busy). overall very impressed. and i'm glad i wasn't the only one to notice the eery similarity to gen. 1 sideswipe. thought maybe i was a little off (still entirely possible).

Strato IS Thrust. That's his Japanese name.
