I haven't been tempted to get any other version despite the lack of articulation etc. I don't mind Wheelie being really tiny thanks to his depiction in the movie. This iGear disaster certainly won't change my mind, being the worst version I have seen so far. Bumblebee is equally repugnant.

I always thought of legends class as nothing more than a novelty. I feel they are more suited for being included as toys in happy meals than to be sold on shelves at stores. I do own about ten of them just to populate my FP G3 Trailer. But they're way too small for me to ever consider them serious figures. I need a scout class Wheelie.

I use Legends Wheelie with my Movie figures. He fits in perfectly! I have the Jizai Toys one and it's nice and all but it doesn't hold together that well so I use the Jazz repaint as my MP Wheelie now. Even after I get Busta, those will stay where they are.

I've heard that about the Jizai Wheelie, and other figs from them.
The design is still great, even if the execution has some fail in there.

I have GDO Wheelie as "Wheelimus Prime", hangin' with Optimus and Rodimus.
I heard that somewhere on the boards, and it was too funny not to do.

I have 3 of them. They're my Shattered Glass Autotroopers.

I just keep GDO Wheelie on the late G1 shelf with Artfire, Stepper, Metalhawk, and the Micromasters. Basically he grew up.

I'd have taken GDO Wheelie as my Classics version, but I couldn't find him for a reasonable price. Or at all, most of the time.

Busta isn't doing it for me. Neither have the other 3rd Party Wheelies.

Personally, I like the Legends size for Minibots, and was sad when the MiniWarriors jumped in size and price after Rager and Spray. I would have bought even the ones I dislike at that size/price.
