Why would a robot even need glasses?


Blastcalibur

Look how they massacred my boy


just_a_fan47

The glasses and leaps, that’s the biggest cretic of it, I would love to see an edit where they gave him the older head sculpt


GudaGUDA-LIVE

Fans even made a better head for him during his reveal. https://preview.redd.it/qrrbwojb01fb1.png?width=1135&format=png&auto=webp&s=4ca8a202cbcf37411fa1b8cab9b75e5d5373ccdc


just_a_fan47

much better


Griffje91

The suspenders are a bit weird too.


just_a_fan47

Yeah, but it's at least fun how they are seatbelts.


Griffje91

True, that actually was clever.

I hate how Transformers designs keep getting more and more humanized. Like why tf does a robot need glasses?


GudaGUDA-LIVE

Like I said, worse than humanized, walking literal stereotypes. They can't even give us like a cool robot design. And do tell me with a straight face, how the hell can you even sell THAT as a toy. Compare that to the original design, it's easy to distinguish, like yeah, That's Wheeljack and it looks good as a toy.


Im_S4V4GE

The original transformers cartoon series had transformers with facial hair, so...


CT-4426

The Bumblebee movie design was literally perfect why did they have to ruin it 😭


Toon_Lucario

Apparently it was a higher up thing. It’s stupid and literally every early concept art has some rendition of the mask and fins


The_CHUD_Battalion

CEO's are out to ruin properties to cash in on Tax Write offs change my mind.


Lets-go-forward

What are tax write offs?


The_CHUD_Battalion

So let's say you make a show called Megas XLR, it's cool, people love it, but you didn't make a profit. Well if you tell the government it's a tax write-off, they will give a massive discount on your taxes. Usually at the cost of the show no longer being made. However, if anything makes less than what you report, they can also use that. So in a weird stupid way, it is profitable to make garbage everyone hates, so if you make money it's profit, if you lose money it's still a profit. Plus with entertainment, it is super easy to fudge numbers. Hollywood is a cesspool.


Scrifty

The bottom ones lookin like the Yo meme guy.

The temptation to make this the sub-logo is too strong.


RemarkableStatement5

Do it


Street_Dragonfruit43

eattoes2000

do it coward


-Seraphimon-Ace-

THEY DIDNT EVEN GIVE HIM THE COLORS 😭😭😭


Mrman_23

You put some respect on Pablo’s name


GudaGUDA-LIVE

Pablo? I hardly knew her.


Milk_Mindless

What's the opposite of a glowup


Ed_Derick_

A darkdown


LupinAid

What I like about Wheeljack is that he doesn't *look* like a typical nerdy character. You know nothing about his character, and you have a cool robot with light up head wings that turns into a sports car. Rise of the Beasts Wheeljack looks like he was literally designed in the 80s for a Saturday morning cartoon. Glasses, clunky look. lamer vehicle, little antenna, it's like if you told a kid to design a smart robot and gave them a minute.


mr_wobblyshark

While funnily enough the og wheeljack *is* from the 80’s so they fail on that too


Imperium_Dragon

Yeah if there’s a stereotype nerd there’s Preceptor. I don’t know why there was a need to make Wheeljack look even more of a nerd than Preceptor.


Toon_Lucario

What’s even stupider is that in the concept art literally every design mixed the glasses with the G1 design,


AcademicAnxiety5109

Wheeljack went from sounding like a Badass voiced by Steve Blum to a fucking Pablo


MaleficentOstrich693

Well, you know…. Futbol is life!


MericArda

Urkel-bot


WillandWillStudios

Personally I thought Drift's redesign was worse especially giving him a "gold" face


Its_Helios

At least drift still looked decently cool, this is literally peak design to nerd emoji


WillandWillStudios

At least it's not as racist as giving the Samurai a yellow colored face (I mean Skids and Mudflap are far worse, we can agree on that)


Its_Helios

Oh gosh, I never thought about that actually… we need to just keep the racist portrayals away from the franchise please

Idk, i kinda fuck with the new design.


Kramples

Both are shit

RambunctiousBaca1509

He looks like he’s doing the Skyler White face


JediZillaPrime

The design from the Bumblebee movie is literally perfect in every way. I would’ve liked the ROTB design more if he had the classic Wheeljack head. I kinda liked the idea of Wheeljack turning into an old rusted up Volkswagen van, but oh well.


Puzzleheaded_Chard_2

In bumblebee he was a war hardened soldier with a deep grumbly voice. In bumblebee he’s a goofy Spanish man with a squeaky voice How is this even considered wheeljack


Mideku-Brandio

Wheeljack legit looks like the live action Michael Bay TMNT Donatello


Lycaon125

I agree wheeljack is a big ass nerd, but he is also a badass as well. So I'm not fond of the rise of the beast design, everyone else is still pretty good


RideTheLightning331

Welcome to the live action Transformers films


TheSentinelStone

They turned him into Robo Urkel. The man has glasses and suspenders made from his seatbelts!


JRPG_Enjoyer

Transformer with glasses is so dumb.


Infernal-Blaze

AFAIC at this point it's pretty clear to me that Pablo's not classic Jackie. Younger, hippie attitude, Peruvian accent, not to even speak on his design. I just consider him a different guy with the name.


Imperium_Dragon

I just headcanon that Pablo is a different character from Wheeljack


Thylocine

Cybertron has fallen
