@@The_real_BlitzwingI'm thinking he is both yes but the thing is though he probably is hiding it or until he gets his technology so he can get his technology back or from the humans or he already told the old about Pisa record my he needs his other other Autobot Wreckers or something like that but he probably is record but the thing is he probably got out of it after Ultra Magnus came back and that he left or his other Wreckers ovum died and he's the and he's the only record left I and kylo we went with Optimus Prime to go save b127 / Bumblebee should go to Earth and save Earth and do not let them suspect the comp or the bad guys of new bad guys screw Jordan battle truck and never forget the last one is I'm not good with names but but yeah he probably just was a wrecker of his bumblebee movie but someone probably told him to change different form so he's not a Wrecker no more so he changed it to into that vehicle change his voice and they want back to went to whatever's Earth and how Optimus Prime with everything or something like that who knows but hopefully we will see a lot more records in the next movie or so
Him saying “sounds like we’re all going to die” is honestly pretty characteristic of Wheeljack. He was never hesitant about fighting and he honestly was a great fighter in battle. He was just saying “this plan is bad and we’re probably gonna die but screw it”.
Honestly, no offense to Edformers but I feel he is looking over things, I think the “Sounds were all going to die” line wasn’t supposed to be taken seriously but just for comedy
All I wanna say about the coward thing and not wanting to fight is cuz they gotta fight unicron. A planet sized transformer and there wasn’t that many of them on the team. Their odds of survival were very low and anyone would be right to accept death in that moment
But the Wheeljack we know is crazy, even if the plan was an irrational plan, he would attack and wouldn't be afraid, also Wheeljack is an engineer but not a nerd.
What if wheeljack got damage by the decepticons and they interrogated him on his arrival to earth. They took away his fins and mask or the decepticons made him lost his memories or voice?
I was hoping he was an imposter and maybe in the next movie the real Wheeljack comes back and confronts him and it’s either another Autobot that stole his identity during escaping Cybertron or it could be a Decepticon waiting for the right moment. Not exactly a theory but more of something I hope ends up happening.
Wheeljack decided change his look by himself!!! He was investigate at Perú a rare energy emission by Optimus Prime's orders... That's the reason why He isn't in USA... He kept contact with Optimus Prime and the rest of Autobots, specially with Arcee (a communication and informatic speciallist).
i believe why wheeljack says " sounds like we are going to die" is because the terrorcons are more powerful and menacing than the deceptions, and they are bringing unicron to earth, so that's why i believe why wheekjack said that
Me and my Brother have a theory that is a younger Que and is the apprentice of Wheeljack and maybe Wheeljack is with GI Joe along with Ironhide, Ratchet, and Brawn
Previous transformers continuities confirm that multiple cybertronians will sometimes share the same name. So my personal theory is that ROTB Wheeljack/Pablojack isn't the Wheeljack seen in Bumblebee (2018), he's just another autobot who happens to share his name.
I actually like your theory the most and it's actually prevalent Like take the name Slipstream The same name was taken by a female Decepticon Seeker and and Autobot Minicon in the Aligned Continuity itself so it is totally possible
That would the mostly sense really. Kind of like how many humans have the same first or last name with the amount of people on the planet some are bound to share the same name in some form or other and I imagine a similar thing would also occur on Cybertron too. Also Pablojack is an amazing name for this nerdy bus.
I think that the film makers wanted to make a new design for wheel jack that was more expressive with his mouth than the lights. I think wheel jack was just a more careful scientist, and was says we’re going to die because he probably hasn’t had to fight someone in a long time, and might be out of shape.
All very interesting, my theory while not as exciting is that this was going to be a different character and was changed to be Wheeljack to get people talking about the movie and so they can sell more toys given that Wheeljack is a very popular character.
So the real wheeljack is actually in the deception ship because they got him in the bumblebee movie so MAKESHIFT did a different wheeljack so the autobots think he’s scand a different car.
I actually have One theory, while Airazor gives the transwarp key to scourge and scourge said “wait didn’t i kill you already?” He thought it was Apelinq that he killed during there fight in maximals world.
That is not a theory that is literally what that line means. He mocks Primal by reminding him of his mentor's death and implying that he thinks that since he killed Apelinq, he could kill Primal easily
I've got another theory. WHAT IF... Wheeljack was seriously damaged after landing on Earth (maybe by Decepticons), and had to rebuild his entire body? Like Barricade in TLK.
I personally theorize that this Wheeljack is a clone of the original rather than an imposter. Having been created by the Original Wheeljack for whatever reason with other Wheeljack clones and the Og Wheeljack still out there.
Theory: the wheel jack in the bumblebee movie is the real wheel jack and i theorize that makeshift was already on earth and when he saw the auto bots he knew it was the time for him to make a move
imagine the post production crew saw this video and said "pretend like its that, pretend like its like that" and stayed with the theory for the next movie
If they in fact don’t bring back the original Wheeljack design for future movies, it’s a bit grim, but I hope they show the BB Wheeljack being executed in the Transit deleted scene, as Transit was intended to taunt Prime with holograms of Autobots being killed. I refuse to believe that the badass in BB turned into Pablo
i have a wild theory guys. maybe, just maybe, they just redesigned him because they wanted to have the character have a different personality. like most of the other times wheeljack gets redesigned?
Well it seems to me will Jack been away from The alibi so long that the nature changed his personality that's just my theory for now but yeah the nature minor changes then again that's just my theory😊
It may be that they adapt what happened in Transformers animated, that Shockwave was a Decepticon spy infiltrating the Autobots, also both are scientists
Well now that we have a new difrent story in transformers univers thanks to the Bumblebee movie and Rise of the beasts it is possible that makeshift is alive. because in TF Prime we see that makeshift was killed by granate explotion.
No, it’s probably because we’ll check on the cyber Tron in the old movie. He had a different vehicle mode so he looked different but now, when he came to earth, he had a different vehicle mode which was the van.
I think he simply enjoyed his time in Earth. He was fully armored in Bumblebee but he's more relaxed in ROTB with less armor. Plus the vehicle he's using for disguise is old and rusting.
Different Theory: What if Wheeljack's alternate mode caused his Robot mode to change. To those who think that's stupid, look at Bumblebee's robot mode as a jeep, Beetle, and Camero then look at his robot mode as a Cybertronian car.
3:07 - This was mostly made for humor. I'm sorry, I have my respects for you, but this is too much. It's clearly a reach of a theory. I'm sorry. It doesn't make sense. For his design, it was Paramount's choice. Wheeljack is the humor character of this movie. Of course he would say things like "We're all going to die."
What ever is his design, he is always be my favorite and the RotB is more suits his name. My theory is that: this wheeljack or pablo is not a imposter, or makeshift, the developer make him like this becouse he is only ment to help prime and the other to find the other half of the key, and fight with the other in the end of the movie, and since they will be meeting him in peru, obviusly the dev gave him a peru-like design If this not helping then just please respect what the dev and the other creator of what have they done
Wheeljack we know is crazy, even if the plan was an irrational plan, he would attack and wouldn't be afraid, also Wheeljack is an engineer but not a nerd.
But also remember most of his experiments blow up in his face and he is a engineer not a soldier and also the insignia thing for the thumbnail is bcuz during the switchback chase scene battletrap pulls arcee and Pablo and cause them to fall off the cliff and arcee hit the grass and Pablo hit a big rock and you could hear how hard he got hit from the impact
but why makeshift help the autobots defeat the terrorcons he should have like worked with the terrorcons and stop them its don't make any sense 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Theory:In Cybertron some of them have different Appearance and on earth when they turn to veichles there appearance changes like arcee and his accent is like that because he’s in peru and more calm cause theres nature
I liek the theory, but it'd raise the question on how he manage to get under their noses when Arcee was with Wheeljack during Bumblebee. She wouldve at least noticed the difference in behavior and voice.
The main issue I have is if it was a deception trying to pretend to be wheel jack, wouldn’t he try to look and act like wheel jack? Not a completely different looking transformer?
I think the reason is because transformer can change what they look like and can change there voice to. Maybe he wanted to look more human a fit in more.
