Is it just me or does anyone else have a ton of trouble transforming Alt Wheeljack?  He was my fav character beofre the movie, but now I hate him. 

 

:tfgrin

He is a b*tch to transform. I dont even bother to transform him and grimlock anymore....I just put  one in car and one in robot mode so you can see what they look like.

Mustang bros are partsformers for me. Step 1. Remove doors. Step 2. Everything else. Step 3. Attach doors.

This works best for me.  I transformed Wheeljack the other day and just popped off the doors before even trying to transform it.  I took a look at Grimlock and thought about transforming him too, but since he is a BT, and already has a scratch on the back roof, I decided to just leave him be.

do that with miester and shocky

Hear hear!

 

I love the Alt and Bot forms of him, but for some reason I find the arm and door transformations steps to be utterly counterintuitive. It invariably takes me 10 minutes (seeing as I only do this once a month or less) to decide I've got him properly transformed as far as the arms- particularly tf-ing him to car.

What I think is funny is his "transforming difficulty" is marked as a 3 I think. And then Cybertron Starscrem is a 4, and he is the easiest Transformer ever.  Size matters I guess

The Mustang alts are the very hardest to transform.

I scratched up Grimlock's door pretty badly and gave up the first go around.  After I got BT Wheeljack, I decided to try again.  But this time, I heed the advice of popping the door off first.  That worked wonders.

I've gotten it down pretty well now....but your right....it is still a very difficult transformation scheme.
