The Energon Pub

Yizhi521 of TF08.net has posted another image of a new Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen figure. On top of this morning's photos of The Fallen figure we now have an image of the toy for the new Autobot Wheelie, who transforms into a small remote-controlled truck. He features a faction-switching gimmick, and appears to be a very anxious, chicken-hearted Transformer from the looks of his bio.

The Wheelie RC truck was spotted on set during filming at the Air & Space museum, and will appear in the film when released on June 26th 2009.

See the image of the card-backing by clicking here.

Hmmm interesting... Id much rather him not be a cowardly character but Hollywood liberty does what it wants, when it wants... should be interesting to see how this turns out...

Is it just me, or did we just find the rumored "R/C car" robot from ROTF?

*edit* Dur, just saw the R/C car comment on his card. As an R/C car guy, though,I think the aesthetic is very good. He looks a good bit like a vintage 80's monster truck. Hmmmm...I smell a crossover project between my hobbies in the near future.

To refresh everyone's memory:

The call sheet referred to a robot named "Wheels" but I always knew he would end up as Wheelie - it only makes sense, and it's a perfect choice given the alt mode.

Just wish he wasn't so freakin' ugly.

So the twins and Wheelie all look like Johnny 5? Lame. At least the first batch of Autobots all fit the "movie" design but looked unique from one another.

Johnny 5, R.O.B. and Wall-E gangraped an RC monster truck. This figure was the result.

Jeez... Endurance 9? The 'cons will never get rid of him...

Bad luck for them, he looks kinda... completely weak and useless. Like Energon Perceptor.

Go get'em, 'cons! Don't forget Daniel, he's the fleshbag with the remote!

It's not like he's the first; remember Strika? Or BM Blastcharge? Or BM Rattrap?

I hope he lasts in robot mode about as much as Bonecrusher did, what an ugly face.

So the wheel feet list continues:
1. sideswipe
2.Constructicon
3.Blue motorcycle thing
4.Wheelie
5.Megatron might be able to roll around on his treads
6.Let's not forget bonecrusher

Yes... agreed. Wall-E was the first thing I saw when I looked at this pathetic looking head. Okay, sorry. I shouldn't call it pathetic. I should keep an open mind.

Totally a bastard child. Just look at those teeth. I know alot of people want to see him get stepped on or something, but look at that endurance. He'll probably survive.

The blue and the wheels makes me think that could have been Movie Roller.

Not bad.

As long as he stops smegging rhyming, I'm cool with it. Besides, the fun might come from beating him to death rather than seeing him dead, no?
