TF Prime new Autobot revealed

*SPOILERS*
So Episode 7 has just aired in the States and at it's conclusion we got a sneak peek at the next episode and a new character....





And it's everybodies favourite whacky Autobot scientist Wheeljack!

Where has he been all this time? How did he get to Earth? And most importantly will he live past Episode 8?! All these questions and more will hopefully be answered in the next exciting installment of Transformers Prime!:p

But seriously I'm glad he made it, looks very G1-ish which is good, I can't image Wheeljack looking any other way too be honest.

For some reason, his face reminds me of a Gremlin.

Nice homage to Wheeljack though. Another toy we can expect I hope.

I smell a Slicer repaint. ;)

Thats an interesting look for Wheeljack.

Took me a while before I figured out bulkhead in the second screenshot. :D

His ears are pointier... when he arrives from Cybertron they should have him speak Sindarin but call it "Cybertronian." ;)

"Optimus Prime, im Wheeljack. Telin le thaed."
"Optimus Prime, I'm Wheeljack, I've come to help you."
"Hon mabathon. Ellint im."
"I'll take him. I'm faster."
"Anira hene beriad i chên lîn."
"He wanted to protect the children."
"Mae govannen, Optimus Prime'ion."
"Welcome Optimus, son of Prime."
"Im Wheeljack o Iacon."
"I am Wheeljack from Iacon."
"Hen andelu i ven." or "Sen andelu i ven." (not sure which would be more correct)
"This road is dangerous."

Bring it! It would be the first time we'd see Transformers speaking 'Cybertronian' that's not gibberish (i.e. Movie Spoken Cybertronian is, unfortunately, just gibberish). And pinching it from Tolkien would at least save them the considerable effort of having to artificially construct an alien language; then go to the effort/expense of coaching voice actors in it. Although I would personally LOVE to see someone officially construct a spoken Cybertronian language (cos I'd _totally_ learn it, wahahahaha!) :D

TF:Prime - Wheeljack commercial

Not great quality but Wheeljack wields DUEL BLADES!!!!

Hmmm, Wheeljack seems to kick a lot of ass for a scientist.

Assuming he still is one that is:o
