WHEELJACK'S CARS
Keep Bumblebee alive as long as you can while walloping the competition with Wheeljack's firepower in this Orange-heavy list.
With a fairly easily triggered Bold 3 ability in bot mode, Wheeljack is the heavy hitting namesake of this list. But don't underestimate his handy card draw effect to filter through your deck and find the cards you want.
Keep Bumblebee alive and undamaged as long as possible; the single Stealthiness and Body Armor are in this deck strictly to keep Bee alive to receive his stat pump as the last bot standing.
Don't be afraid to Energy Transfer damage from Bumblebee to Prowl or Wheeljack; a timely transfer can remove plenty of damage from Bee and set WJ up to soak a big hit and trigger Prowl's healing ability, removing even more damage from Bee. Keep Wheeljack above 3-4HP if possible, to avoid getting pinged off by Javelins or other direct damage.
Prowl and Wheeljack are prime targets for the Kinetic upgrades. You'll flip Prowl often for the Bold 2 bonus (especially with Turbo Boosters in hand), making him an excellent Kinetic Converter user, while Wheeljack loves the Kinetic Intensifier Whip with a side of Rapid Conversion.
Don't fret about triggering all 3 parts of Wedge Formation; it's good enough to get 2 out of 3 and you always get the Repair 1 on Bee.
Wheeljack's Cars generally prefers to go second; opponents may take the opportunity to attack Bee first which is fine - helpful even. Transform and attack with Prowl. If you played second, the three sets of battle flips should be sufficient to get a Weapon in your scrapheap in time for Wheeljack's attack. It's possible to reach 14+ attack on this swing, but you need to be lucky with the cards in hand. Always attack last with Bumblebee to keep him healthy as long as possible. If you got lucky and flipped a weapon into your scrapheap before your first turn and you happen to be holding a Grenade Launcher, Leap Into Battle or Supercharge, you can flip Wheeljack first and attack before your opponent has a chance to upgrade any of his characters for a tremendous amount of damage.
