I know, right! Wheeljack seriously needs to build a Space Bridge and get over himself. He's like a petulant child who always wants to muck around and gets all pouty when he's pulled into line. Seriously... if I were his commanding officer I'd have him arrested or insubordination. Or executed (re: Sun Tzu's The Art of War).

Wheeljack wouldn't even listen to Optimus half the time. And dude... this is an army and the Autobots are at war! When you're serving in the armed forces, you follow orders. Questioning or defying orders puts lives in danger. If the commanding officer makes the wrong call, then that officer takes full responsibility (such is the burden of command, as Rodimus Prime experienced in G1). Great... now I got that song from Mulan running in my head...
"You're unsuited for the rage of war, so pack up, go home you're through. How could III make maaan out of yooouu?"
...kinda sad when Wheeljack gets outclassed by a freakin' Disney Princess!
