wow
to me this looks horrible.

the ROTF line so far hasnt turned out well at all.. well thats my opinion.

especially with wheelie. i was expecting a cool little orange sporty r/c car
not some ugly blue monster truck

What the hell is that thing?

Only Michael Bay could take a character like Wheelie and actually make it worse.

Wait, let's give credit where credit is due. This was totally a team effort. Remember, the first Wheelie was only a mini-car figure therfore, this time around, Bay F'ed up the character and Hasbro super-sized it for posterity! :grin:

We could have gotten blessed with this thing being a Target exclusive Scout class figure but nooo! Torture is sooo much more fun when EVERYONE gets involved! :twisted:

More wheel feet?

So the designers had a slightly different idea for the feet and then couldn't get over it?

The concept of such a small transformer is cool and all, but once again, like almost everything in the movie lines, horribly executed.

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.

yep......

SO GOOD! yal so whack robot'ed!

Looks better than Disney/Pixar's J-5 knock-off Wall-E, but not by much.

He looks Like Wall-E

by **Technically weird** » Sun Feb 08, 2009 8:53 pm

It looks like my butt, if you like it please see a mental doctor. And, also please do not rape me and my wheelie butt with wall-e.

LMAO !!! Johnny 5 from short circut !!! I guess if Wheelie doesent look silly then he wouldnt be Wheelie...I hope if he is in the movie he doesnt talk in rhymes or use a sling shot...please spare us !!!

by **Kryptikore** » Sun Feb 08, 2009 11:28 pm

Wow after seeing a bunch of kitbash or scratch build monster truck designs fall short. Not saying I wasn't impressed with there effort. I am surprised how well this figure turned out!

O...M...G!!! That would be freaking hilarious! I would pay 5 bucks more for my IMAX ticket if he DOES use a slingshot, 7 if he pulls off an awsome shot! (Between the eyes or square in the "oil filter")
I'm giving this character more than his fair ration of crap in this thread but deep down inside there's still this little voice rooting for the underdog. I wanna see him take Frenzy out at the knees, bitch-slap him once he's down and then transform and tear out. It'd be a scream to see Frenzy give chase only to turn a corner and find Wheelie cowering behind Ironhides leg and Ironhide looking straight down his barrel at Frenzy. I can just picture the stream of oil running down Frenzy's leg now.

if anyone wants to get a cute robot toy (and a transformable one), get Wall-e.

go J n° 5
(wall-e was just stolen from him - if we are pointing fingers -
I guess you can spot the difference of generations here )

so this is a small character in the movie?
cool ...I hope he's not too big as a toy

It would be kind of dumb if he has the same size as "real" deluxe sized car

I'm sure they'll do something similar to Armada Laserbeak...

His description on the back of his packaging makes him sound like one chickensh*t autobot. Everyone will probably hate him as much as G1 Wheelie....

If the first 9 pages of this thread are any indication, we alredy have one hell of a start on that.

That's not to say we aren't going to buy the figure, but by the end of summer this will be one figure that's more afraid of firecrackers than last years GI Joe. :grin:
