Grimlock's arms faced upwards in the 1986 movie so that's why the toy is like that.

1. Bad posing - in several shots (including the latest), his ab joint is leaned back when it really shouldn't be, making him look awkward.
He's posed better here.
2. His shoulders are too low. Not quite as bad as on the original toy (dear Primus), but they're still set too far below the neckline. They needed a double-hinge or a slide to let them migrate 5mm or so up from where they currently are. Or have the existing hinge situated higher.
3. The backpack awkwardly sticks out instead of sitting against his back, so it looks like it's floating.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

...the Beast Wars movie has to happen in the first place
Exactly...matter of fact it hasn't even been officially announced, right? What was the point of this question?
You are correct. The others who responded to your post didn't understand that that's what you meant and instead thought you were talking about the rumored Beast Wars movie that may or may not be coming from Hollywood.chuckdawg1999 wrote:I was under the impression that the Japanese Beast Wars series got a "Movie" or two during its lifetime.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

So then, what is the point? Wheelie isn't Kranix, Spike or Daniel. He is a Transformer. Admittedly there was nothing in the show or movie that ever explained his origins or how he survived on Quintessa. But I said before, in the MP thread, considering his size Wheelie couldn't really be sold in that line on his own. I even suggested he could be paired up with MP Grimlock 2.0. But he still is essentially one of the last post-Movie mini vehicles.

The only reason I'd like him is because the alt mode looks amazing compared to any previous efforts. Interesting how the alt mode was favored for him rather than bot mode (then again,the Kingdom line seems to be about that a lot)
