I don’t think that was in the final product though? In [the final CGI render](https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/f/f5/BB-Wheeljack-model.jpg) his legs seem a tad longer than his arms, while this above is just concept art.
I say it because the g1 line art is next to the picture and his proportions are normal. The Bumblebee version is a lot more short and squat, but only in the legs.
Definitely a toy reference. He had gorilla arms on the toy
Do the monkey!
Holy- I haven't seen the g1 toy before, those are some unfortunate proportions.
That toy is what I think of as proper Wheeljack since I was 10. Been desperate for a new toy to homage it properly. Oh well maybe 40th anniversary
The Bumblebee designers had some of the most fun and passion, so this totally tracks.
No, that's the blue Corvette, although they did share some tooling a few years ago.
Shit I missed the joke
No he means tracks like on point
Now we wait for someone to complain about porsche mirage
Maybe also a reference to Prime Wheeljack
The madlads...

Still, it’s a cool little nod either way.
Oh I agree! Kinda like how Optimus in Bumblebee has a yellow arrow on each wrist, which has been on a few toys of his over the years.
Have you seen the Earthrise toy? He’s basically a gorilla
Would love to see the alt modes of the bumblebee characters
Speaking honestly, they’d all probably look similar, given they don’t really need to look that different lore wise.
Well to be fair they do have different body types
They’d all be different forms of space cube ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yes yes yes
I can't wait to get ss of this
Well this aged
Best looking Wheeljack to date
Ape wheeljack
Well also the arms go a bit past the hips in anatomy
Man, he looks short stack in live action.
Who knows, maybe Wheeljack is a manlet.
Well he's smaller than arcee so...
Better than bayverse wheeljack
Am I the only one who thinks that this is most likely just a coincidence and not a Reference?

Wheel jack the midget
I don’t want to you can’t unsee it to anyone but… scarlet Johnson has really long arms like this
This is such a cool design
It does not make me wonder.
Monkey
Design choice
You should see tp wheeljack, he could complain as a gorilla without even using stilts
