I spotted this on Twitter yestrday. Went looking for it just now, couldn't find it again, but I found a Reddit thread where they're talking about it:

https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/comments/1adcknz/is_this_the_new_5_pack_wheeljack/

Where the Earthrise version of Wheeljack reminds me very strongly of the G1 toy (especially that eggshell color), this version is very cartoon-riffic. They managed to make the toy quite visually appealing. The windshield in robot mode is completely the wrong shape (it's not supposed to be all square like that!) but that's an artifact of the way the Earthrise toy was designed, so there's not much that can be done.

It's clear everybody from the five-pack is going to have this new cartoon-inspired look, which is good for those worried about the fragility of the original clear plastic (I'm looking at you, Jazz) but not so good if you feel like you're being "forced" to buy four toys you already own just to get Hound!

You will be surprised by a loud noise.
