I haven't uploaded any videos of Wheeljack in Transformers Devastation so far (other than a bit of playtime in my video review). I love Wheeljack as a Transformers character, but in the game I've never taken to him quite as well as the other playable characters and I think that when you're surrounded by multiple characters with shields he's at a big disadvantage. Optimus can smash the shields with his L1 attack, Bumblebee can slide under guys with shields and do a back attack. Grimlock has a dino mode shove attack that smashes shields (and launches straight into a vehicle attack for extra damage). Sideswipe doesn't have any shield smashing supermoves, but he's so much faster than Wheeljack it isn't really an issue as it means it's easier to add rush combos and such in, and his ultimate gauge re-charges so quickly it makes it easier to thin out the non-shield carrying guys. Wheeljack's special move is itself a shield, which I find to be a complete waste-of-space, because it disappears the moment you transform. He also seems really slow to accelerate in vehicle mode, which is odd seeing as he changes into a rally car. He also (prior to me getting him stated right up and enhanced with tech) seems to have a health bar that gets depleted far more quickly than the other characters.

So yeah, bit of a shame as it means I don't really use him that much.
