    G1 wheeljack's car mode had that extra "lip" as well so in keeping with the look( albeit modern interpretation) that should be how wheeljack's car mode should look. Im guessing that's race hehehe otherwise he needs a pick trailer to carry all them grain sacks for delivery

    i think that extra spoiler on te front is so he can stand properly when he is in robot mode. i might be wrong, they act as toes???? he does look crap with it but he won't be in alt mode when he's on display in my case!!

    I love the look of Wheeljack. This is the figure I have wanted since Classics started. First Jazz and now Wheeljack. Lets seem them do justice for Trailbreaker/cutter

    G1 Wheeljack's vehicle mode had the forward spoiler, and formed his toes inrobot mode. The forward spoiler feet is one of the more distinctive elements of G1 Wheeljack's design, which is probably why both Energon and (IIRC) Cybertron Downshift's feet had similar detailing (even though they weren't formed from the forward spoiler.)
