IMO The Pablo design is not a bad design. Hell, I'd posit that the design is actually good. However, when you name that design "Wheeljack", that's when the problem arises.

Downsize the glasses, make the ear-antenna things more prominent, change the lower face design (nose and mouth don't really work), and Pablojack works incredibly well. I don't mind the glasses (as long as they don't pull the stereotypical 90s "uhm, ackshually" shtick), and honedtly making them goggles could be even cooler. Edit: Watched the movie. Man.... I'm glad he kicked some ass, just bummed that he didn't speak a whole lot. The "kinda racist, hombre" joke was funny tho.

Calling Pablo “Pablo” would’ve been a smart idea instead of making him Wheeljack. I know Pablo is a human name, but the have been live action Transformers that have human name. Such as Que. he got the name from a human from a tv show.

Legit his ROTB colors actually work SUPER well with his Bumblebee design.

Wheeljack is my Dads favorite transformer as a kid. Really like his character design, personality, car mode, light up feature and the inventions he made. He was really really disappointed when I showed him the new design in the new movie

You know I was slowly starting to warm up to ROTB Wheeljack's design despite me still preferring his Bumblebee look in general, but that "Rizz Pablo" poster kinda brought him back down to goofy ahh meme status.

Since Prime was the show that really made me love Transformers, I will always think of the dual katana wielding wrecker before the scientist/inventor, but that's just me.

Wheeljack is such a iconic character. Why would they change that?!? Its like turning Optimus Prime into a school bus...

The Dark of the Moon overall design and Rise of the Beasts robot mode design are honestly not bad in their own rights. However, neither should have had the name Wheeljack attached to them. If I had to choose which I like better on their own; I'm more into Dark of the Moon. I like the Eisenstein inspiration and he's quite expressive. Rise of the Beasts robot mode on the other hand is just merely fine, but nothing beyond that.

Crazy theory which will 100% be wrong. Pablo-Wheeljack will have a Clark Kent/Superman scene, where he takes off his glasses and transforms completely, into a super powerful worrior😂

15:09 let this be the day you almost caught captain (Wheel) Jack sparrow.

I got to be honest Travis Knight’s Bumblebee’s Wheeljack design was a perfect combo of realistic and G1, and they did it well in ROTB with the others, Wheeljack was the inly character design I had an issue with in ROTB, he just looks- off putting…

He is a character that just happened to have the same name as wheeljack. Like many women have the name Jennifer. It could be a common name.

Trying something new isn't that bad of a thing, but you always want to keep some core aspects of the characters you're mixing up so they're still recognizable to the fans that appreciate what came before. There are multiple different styles for even the big name characters, such as Optimus, that still keep a core vision of what the character should be (red chest with windshields, blue helmet, battle mask). For many when it comes to Wheeljack, it's his ear fins and his mask. Many fans show that they don't even mind the totally different color scheme. As you've shown, they've also added on his BBM head onto his ROTB design with the same colors and made it work to wide liking. Also, don't remember who said it, but I agree that Pablo could've been called Scattershot (Cybertron) instead and no one would've batted an eye.

The design we had in the bumble bee movie was genuinely amazing but this is a definite case of just name slapping a character like Pablo being a new transformer would have been pretty nice it would explain the glasses and suspenders he’d literally just be a new autobot who fell in love with humanity and named himself after maybe a human he became friends with

I'd like to see you work on a Hot Shot design tier in the future! And suggestions for the tiers: Highest-ranking Tier: Is it hot in here, or is it just me? (Said by Hot Shot in Transwarped) Second Highest-ranking Tier: You have no idea what you're up against, but you'll find out soon enough. And you're gonna find out the hard way! (Said by Hot Shot in Cybertron episode: Critical) Third highest-ranking Tier: Well, I've been better, but I'll make it. (Said by Hot Shot in Cybertron episode: Critical) Near in-between tier: Remember, all bots were not created equal. (Said by Hot Shot in Armada episode: Carnival) In between tier: We'd better beef up our defenses. (Said by Hot Shot in Energon episode: Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary) Second Worst Tier: We've gotta destroy him! (Said by Hot Shot in Energon episode: Battle of the Asteroid Belt) Worst Tier: Gee, he sure is puny-WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!! (Said by Hot Shot in Energon episode: Distribution) And even better, a possible guest appearance by Brent Miller himself (Armada Hot Shot) and his lovely-yet-underrated wife Nicole Bouma (she's my fave underrated voice actress these days).

Que has slowly become one of my favorite things from the Bayverse, mostly cause of Bayverse comics. It is along the lines of before coming to Earth, he and Mirage get bodied by Shockwave. Ratchet gets a hold of them and rebuilds them and when he was reconstructing Que’s face and head he based it off of Einstein because he and Wheeljack are geniuses. He (and Mirage) started having changes in their personalities and took new names. Then they just kind of embraced the new names and identity That’s lowkey fucked

0:31 PERFECT!!!! 8:38 GORGEOUS!!! 11:16 BADASS!!! 12:20 ADORABLE!!! 12:50 COOL!!! 13:33 AWESOME!!! 16:04 UNIQUE!!! (Too many to continue lol)

I really hope they show us why they chose the new design and who proposed it, so we know who's to blame

Aaron Archer disputed the “Takara designed Armada Wheeljack” story. He said Hasbro designed it, and were just trying for a “G1-looking design” rather than any specific one for the character. Regardless, the Sideswipe similarity was still basically unintentional.

if only he is called Pablo, I wouldn't be so disappointed. he is just entirely different from the original wheeljack, from his design to his personality to his accent. wheeljack is my favorite character all the way from G1, and it's so upsetting when this design was fully released in the movie.

It was just as simple as picking the BBM head, importing to the new body, parent it and render. The fins dont even have to be animated, just leave the lights on. I really hope they fix that head...

0:32 *THAT FIXED HIM, THAT FITS HIM, THAT FITS SO WELL*

Wheel jack is the very first transformer we ever see I think he needs more justice

Pablo is such a odd name for a transformer, mainly because we are used to words being the names. Pablo out here challenging the status quo!

I think the fins are gonna be on the studio series toy, which explains why it got delayed from wave 2 to wave 4

My hopes for Pablo is that he isn't just a stereotypical nerd. He's a big bot, he's got bulk on him. I mean he seems bigger then both bee and mirage. If they do make him an "um actually" nerd stereotype I hope he's at least a brawler too. He seems like a bot who could tussle, I mean change the head and remove the seat belt suspenders and I'd think he was the muscle of the group.

If you have any other updated rankings, I have a few peices of art I could showcase...

There's just a uniqueness to Wheeljack's design. His design implys he's a warrior when in reality he's a scientist/engineer. He's like the Shockwave of the Autobot Crazy yes, can fight but prefers not to, but not as monstrous as Shockwave. It's a cool double meaning to his design.

I loved Wheeljack in Bumblebee. They did him dirty in ROTB. If they’d just called him Pablo, I’d fully accept him as his own brand new character. As it stands, though, he’s not my Wheeljack.

I personally find ROTB Wheeljack to be a breath of fresh air, a break from consistency. That's why I loved the Unicron Trilogy and Beast Wars so much: They didn't shy away from giving established names to different-looking bots with unmatched personalities, something we just don't see anymore in most cases.

My favorite part of the movie was when Pablo said “it’s pablin’ time” and then he pabloed all over the place

It's actually FRUSTRATING how Wheeljack's design changes SO MUCH from 'Bumblebee' to 'ROTB!' Who at Paramount greenlit this idea? I'm praying they give us an in-universe explanation for this shit, we deserve at least that much! I don't give a rat's ass if people hate on it because it's "ExPoSiTiOn!"

Congrats on 100k subs dude Well deserved

I have the same problem with the Bumblebee movie Blitzwing, it could have been a triple changer, had his iconic colors and all, but no, it is just another seeker so much wasted potential. But I am not that mad about it, because I absolutely adore the design itself, and he is never ever named Blitzwing in the movie, so I just call him Ramjet. So yeah, I guess from now on we'll call him Pablo, and that'll make things way better.

I wouldn’t have minded the redesign of wheeljack so much for ROTB if they had kept the original head from the Bumblebee movie. Similar to what they’ve done for all the other Autobots like Arcees head design is pretty much the same but tweaked a bit. Whereas Wheeljacks head design sticks out like a sore thumb. His head is too drastic of a change imo and it’s very noticeable when standing him next to the others. Xx

the 2018 Bee movie Wheeljack looks amazing, his face in the first scene is what converted me from a bayverse fan to a g1 fan

Pablo is a silly little guy. He did nothing wrong. 🥺

Pablojack's design even has the frickin' suspenders to support the Steve Urkle theory at 22:34.

It’s just one of those cases where I wonder why they even bothered using a certain name when there are other transformers that fit the design (and characteristics from that short clip) better. Like, it was a conscious choice to make everyone else carry certain parts of their iconic design, while with Wherljack, they chose not to. It baffles me

The Michael Bay movies really know how to mess up your childhood memories

You know what's ironic they use the Cybertron wheeljack design on different toys my favorite wheeljack recolor was Big Daddy

They really just looked at Bumblebee and then decided to say “nah” for this movie. Looking at the leaks this movie ain’t lookin too hot

rise of the beasts really got my boy wheeljack looking like norbit

I went to the bathroom during this scene, and when I came back, a new robot was on screen and I was like, “who is this brown robot?”

If you look closely, in the US trailer 2 for Rise of the Beast, when they’re all lining up, Wheeljack actually has his fins come out of him. So he has them, they’re just retractable.

9:35 Is it just me or does AoE Wheeljack’s head kinda look like the Matrix? It’s the design of his “side fins” that make them look like the Matrix’s handles

Like before; my favorite is Online MMO. I also like G1 boxart, definitive G1 collection, alternators, animated, cyberverse, IDW movie comic cybertronian, Prime, IDW World of Tomorrow, Universe (with newer chest style), Earthspark animation model, and Rise of the Beasts vehicle mode only.

I just call him Pablo and consider him to be a different transformer. Same with the whole Mirage vs Mirage/Dino thing.

I think it'll be kinda cool if a design configured wheeljack's side thingies into a kind of huge Sidburns

The van is actually owned by a lady that lives in Cusco and director borrowed from her for this movie :D (The paint is original, not made for the movie)

Pablo’s got that light skin stare

Pablo 4 life

Personally, I like the glasses on pablo wheeljack, but i don't like the mouth. The bumblebee design was great however, and since ROTB is supposed to be a direct sequel to bumblebee, i think it would be cool if they made it so he can extend the ear fins out, and when he puts on his battle mask it is a mask reminiscent of the usual design with no mouth and it will resemble the bumblebee design a lot more. I also wonder if there is an in-universe explanation for why his design is so drastically different from his design in bumblebee.

My introduction to wheeljack was transformers prime and I never watched any of the other cartoons so thats the only way I pictured him, so the fact that tfp wheeljack and pablo are the same character is just really funny

Pablo is really boutta carry the whole movie

Einstein-jack may have deviated heavily, however he was pretty alright, probably would have been better off as a separate character tho

i think the wheeljack face in the first movie 1st actually a helmet for the rotb pablo. you can see a space in between the eyes, and if you cut out the wheeljacks face in the first movie it fits the pablo design.

28:14 as someone who is a massive fan of the Dodge Ram pickup trucks, seeing one as a transformer is just sooooo cool!

I think the glowing antennas are only four wheel jack designs that don’t have a standard mouth, though it would be cool to have it, so that if he has his battle mask on he one has the distortion effect of G one wheel jack, and to have the glow of his antennas I feel like that would be a nice middle ground because I do like him with a face but I also like him with his battle mask and antennas

In the trailer specifically the twitter version in the walking scene right before Pablo goes offscreen you can actually see the fins so he does have them but I doubt they will glow

Pablo is god

The first ever clip I saw had Battletrap (the tow truck) firing the missiles and I so wanted that to be Wheeljack. The hazard Beacons could be the flashing wings on the side of his head, it’d make sense fro him to be a recovery vehicles. I just loved the idea. Then I found out this was his design, and while I still find it fine enough, The face is were all the problems lie

Wheeljack, one of my favorites in the Autobots, Excellent choice👍

I don't care what y'all say that is pablo a brand new autobot we never heard about, i hope they bring back wheeljack for the next movie.

I'm holding on to that fleeting hope ROTB Wheeljack has a battle mask. I don't even mind if we don't get his head fins. I just hope we aren't just left with that

10:04 i remember this design as matrix of leadership head wheeljack

23:52 thank you for saying that not preferring Pablo doesn’t necessarily make someone a geewunner

Wheeljack dying in Dotm was the saddest moment for me.

That “holy shit.” Was personal bro😂 11:48

4:42 wheeljack: "its called *ACTING* "

I don't mind the glasses, BUT where. are. his. GOD DAMN. EARS?!

I get wanting to do something different, but did they have to make him a wojak for the new movie?

THAT'S WHEELJACK?! Honestly I NEVER would have guessed from the trailer.

Both Animated and Cyberverse Wheeljack designs are my personal favorites.

Cam upload wooow

They definitely picked a good character to have be the first Transformer to appear onscreen. Wheeljack is awesome, it’s just too bad the movies never really got his look right.

0:32 And the crowd rejoices!!!!!

From a Group 5 Lancia Stratos Rally car to a Volkswagen Type 2 Samba bus "T.V. Pablo", what a big change ...

I think the biggest insult for ROTB was not only did they completely butcher his "redesign", they obliterated his character for the very few lines he had, then he just shut up the rest of the movie and was just there. That's NOT my Jacky

Handsome wheeljack spinoff looks pretty good right about now. Wait Didn't you do one already?

Pablo looks very good, I'm just mad they called him wheeljack. Like, I know TF have different deigns over the years but you wouldn't see a character change this much on any other franchise, imagine if Marvel did a blue small guy and called him Hulk?

Well SG wheeljack colors is based on a europe action master repaint called "slicer" 7:05 ironically enough this figures base would be used for the first SG wheeljack desgin

Energon Os that was a nostalgia trip

you could say that since rotb is a sequel to bumblebee, instead of a prequel, that wheeljack mellowed out due to being out of the battlefield, and then the einstein looking one is him trying to stay out of the fights from then on. because those two designs seem like they're somewhat consistent with one another- no fins and the glasses and all.

I almost cried during the que's death in dark of the moon

They really made Wheeljack look like the nerd emoji ☠️. Still better than his DotM design though.

This part is amazing 😍 0:30

Idea for good ol'Pablo : Maybe they should make his glasses transform to go to the sides of his face to look like those ears from G1.

Pablo be like: Sin… SIN CITY WASN’T MADE FOR YA

The reason Energon Downshift wasn't called Wheeljack in America was because, in Japan, Armada Wheeljack was called Rampage and was not intended to be the same character as Energon Wheeljack/Downshift. But I see what you mean there, wishing he'd come back for Energon as an Autobot. Armada Wheeljack/Rampage is still my favorite design, nonetheless.

I personally don't mind his ROTB design all that much. Don't get me wrong I fucking LOVE G1 Wheejack's design, but I have to say there's something about ROTB's design that redeems it in a way. It still feels true to the character in a way, like it was made more of based around his character rather than his G1 design, and I'll say it fits well. As for the face, it makes me a bit uncomfortable, but all in all the design isn't bad, to me at least.

2:12 okay and also why his head look likes cybernetic head robot

I grew up with Prime Wheeljack, and boy he's badass. He looks so cool😁

Bayformers Wheeljack actually looked more accurate to his G1 look when he wasnt on earth yet

Man, hearing about “forged to fight” brings back memories.

The only reason it was changed was to reduce the “rougher” nature he had in the Bee movie. Personally I don’t hate it, and nor do I think it’s wholly unfitting. It doesn’t work 100% No arguments there. However I like the lean into to nerd realm of things. It’s another out there take like Q which at lest to me is perfectly fine, if it doesn’t work it doesn’t work. I think it was a bold move and now seeing how little he was used in the movie, I’m kinda glad he didn’t get an updated design from the Bumblebee movie, would’ve felt like an absolute waste otherwise. Even more so than it is already

Pablo's design is actually good on it's own. Stop shitting him, he didn't deserve that

yea ROTB wheeljack was a shock for me when they released the design. i really thought they're gonna use the G1 design from the bumblebee movie but nope
