and,any mod can fix my problem about attachment?

[Agent 007]

dear god what did we do to deserve this poopy toy known as wheelie!?

[Bumblethumper]

hmmmmm, not really sure what to do with that.

Well I suppose it's different, I guess.



Arms look like they articulate the wrong way. Teeth aren't painted a seperate colour like on the cardback. They should try to limit the number of these per wave, because this thing has shelfwarmer written all over it. I dunno, maybe he's really amazing in the movie.

[El Duque]

I don't know I kind of like the little guy. He's so ugly I can't help it, and he turns into a mini monster truck.

[Bumblethumper]

Fugly is the word that comes to mind.

He seems to be missing a few paint apps compared to the previously leaked cardback image. But it's in keeping with his loser-bot status.

[Mkall]

FP&C'd! Thanks s250!

And we are aware of the upload glitch. Ryan's working on a solution.

[UltraPrimal]

Wheelie is smaller than I thought. He looks more like a basic than a deluxe.

LeoZack looks like he has poor paint apps on his face. I hope that doesn't carry over to the final product.

[Mr O]

Mudslinger looked better.

[doomseer]

Hmm. Not looking good is it? Reminds me of the micromaster mudslinger.

[ultra_magus]

... Dang. I honestly thought the movie line couldn't get uglier, but it did. Just... dang.

[Burn]

And we thought nothing could get uglier or lamer than G1 Wheelie.

.... boy were we wrong.

[joonjian]

A Bay version of Wall-E...

[God Magnus]

In the immortal words of Hollywood from Two Stupid Dogs: "Isn't that cute...BUT IT'S WRONG!!!!"

[capellamusic]

I can already picture it: "Hi Sam, Wheelie's my name. Boy, do I look lame?"

Anyway, I like the alt mode, that looks good. But the robot mode is going to keep me from sleep tonight . Oh well, I actually find something interesting in it even in robot mode...

That Hybrid Optimus Prime looks like he's thinking "And I thought the gobots were lame..." .

[Craven Knight]

More things I don't want to buy, good.

[Mykltron]

I think he looks quite cool. Interesting arm articulation - I like the hands. I still won't buy him cos I like my figures to be in scale.

[Ravage XK]

Good Grief!

Its almost as if they WANT us to hate it. Did the designers just give up or did they die half way through?

I imagine that Wheelie is supposed to be the new cute character but this guy isn't. Wall-e isn't as sophisticated a machine but is far more appealing.

If he has a bloody sling shot as a weapon I will cry, I know it.

[Absolute Zero]

Can't tell if he's a homage to Wall E or Johnny 5. Either way, just confirms suspicion that the movie designers liked Beast Machines.

Transformers Movie - Designs not even a blind person with no hands could love.

[D-340]

My GAWD, is Wheelie hideous. Unless he serves a really big part in the movie, and I mean REALLY BIG, I'm soo skippin' that. Man, he's fugly.

Like Leozack though, too bad it's not goin' mass retail.

[Soundwave__Superior]

Hey look Wall-e! Wait you say that's Wheelie? Bay WTF? Only buying if G1 color repaint is made, and mabye not even then. I guess this keep up with the traditon of Wheelie being hated by almost everyone.

[kingjovius]

huh? why the fuks wheelie so big and i reckon it'd be cool if they made a remote controled version of him. so he can transform and fdrive

[Tigertrack]

I don't think he's as huge as some of you think. Sure it's a deluxe sized figure, but the Prime with it is hybrid style... a very small version, scout class size maybe smaller, so Wheelie is not quite as big as he looks. Although he still looks big and more like Johnny 5!

I like Leozak, but probably won't own him.

[First-Aid]

Sweet fig...I'm impressed. This is going to be one that the kids who are the target audience for these toys are going to love. I think what would be the best would be to take an actual RC truck- correct size and everything- and make it a Transformer. At least it's not as bad as Frenzy was...

[Psychout]

JOHNNY 5 IS STILL NOT AMUSED!

[DevastaTTor]

Is it just me or does that blue junk that's supposed to look like a mouth make him look like he's throwing up?
