The Energon Pub

They are both available in store. I saw them. They are both available at walmart.ca.
...
YET MY PREORDER IS STILL DELAYED WITH NO UPDATES IN SIGHT.

Seriously, I never, ever saw a preorder at Walmart.ca come through. Ever. They inevitably get delayed and I never have the choice but to cancel them. Yet, Walmart is always eager to charge your card in advance. And if, like me, you used a gift card that is now deleted/trashed, you are SCREWED.

I cannot cancel that order for this reason so I contacted customer services.

Walmart.ca preorders are BROKEN and UNRELIABLE.
NEVER use them.
This was the last straw.

I really like Wheelie. He looks great. But there's something about his headsculpt that really bothers me. Why is it round on top? That doesn't match the cartoon, the original toy, the books ... I just don't get it. Visor is also really tiny. If it's supposed to be the "toy" head, it should look more like the toy with the window flap visor. Just an odd design choice. tfwiki's page on Wheelie is terrible (I strongly dislike the "in-character" wiki pages as it makes it really hard to read, especially on a character like Wheelie) so I couldn't quite figure out what it was trying to say about his head design. Maybe I'm missing something about his head design or it's referencing something else I'm not thinking of.

The original G1 toy didn't have a head per se: just a face


My guess is it's to evoke the rounded top of the toy with the main details heavily simplified, all for the sake of having an alternate head to use.

I played with Wheelie and he's absolutely fantastic! A real mini-MP, easy to figure out with a solid vehicle mode. However, that scale made me wonder... Will there be a new Sergeant Kup that will be a voyager down the line? Because so far, all Wheelies had their Kup to go with them, and all of them scaled perfectly, if we conveniently ignore the Classic Generations lines. So, a new voyager Kup could readjust the scaling I think.
