Wheeljack is ruined as a name now. It's like calling a robot Bonnet.

Burns is capable of googling any of those names with the word definition and getting the same results I did.
Bluestreak's meaning has come up here before unchallenged.
And he's still said nothing about Ratchet

If we're doing the basics here, it should probably be pointed out that the tyre and the cone in the picture of the wheeljack are toy ones. Wheeljacks aren't that big. In reality they are about the size of a tyre.
I see there is a lot of work to do here.
