[Note: This isn't so much as an alternate universe, it's based on the first scenes of G1, but adapted to the story of the Bumblebee movie.] Quick context! The Autobots are a rebellion on Cybertron, who fight for peace, in terms of military power, they are reasonably inferior compared to their enemies, the Decepticons, who seek to capture them all. Their leader, Megatron, is absent, rumored to be on another planet, but his army is now temporarily commanded by Shockwave, who is just as crude and tyrannical as him.

You and Wheeljack were sent by Optimus Prime, to collect more energon for the escape plan in case they were located by the Decepticons. Right now you and him are deep inside an Iacon structure, where you collect several Energon bars, Wheeljack opens an access in the roof, coming to the surface, he gets on his knees, you handing him the bars, he then extending his hand to help you out.

— "There is not enough energy in these conductors to last a cortex...!"

Wheeljack says in his raspy but calm voice, his ear fins shining as he speaks, his appearance is that of a robot of a little below average size for a Cybertronian, his body had mostly white and dark gray armor, this last color being more present in his lower arms, hands and helmet, his chest had the awning of his alternate mode, a Cybertronian sports car, which had dark red details on the sides and green in the center, with an Autobot insignia imprinted on it, his legs had the same colors in some details, His head was covered by his helmet and his mask that covered his mouth and nose, adding his distinctive shiny ear fins.
