hmmmmm, not really sure what to do with that.
Well I suppose it's different, I guess.
Arms look like they articulate the wrong way. Teeth aren't painted a seperate colour like on the cardback. They should try to limit the number of these per wave, because this thing has shelfwarmer written all over it. I dunno, maybe he's really amazing in the movie.

I don't know I kind of like the little guy. He's so ugly I can't help it, and he turns into a mini monster truck.

Fugly is the word that comes to mind.
He seems to be missing a few paint apps compared to the previously leaked cardback image. But it's in keeping with his loser-bot status.

FP&C'd! Thanks s250!

And we are aware of the upload glitch. Ryan's working on a solution.

Wheelie is smaller than I thought. He looks more like a basic than a deluxe.
LeoZack looks like he has poor paint apps on his face. I hope that doesn't carry over to the final product.

Hmm. Not looking good is it? Reminds me of the micromaster mudslinger.

And we thought nothing could get uglier or lamer than G1 Wheelie.
.... boy were we wrong.

I can already picture it: "Hi Sam, Wheelie's my name. Boy, do I look lame?"
Anyway, I like the alt mode, that looks good. But the robot mode is going to keep me from sleep tonight

. Oh well, I actually find something interesting in it even in robot mode...
That Hybrid Optimus Prime looks like he's thinking "And I thought the gobots were lame..."

I think he looks quite cool. Interesting arm articulation - I like the hands. I still won't buy him cos I like my figures to be in scale.

Good Grief!
Its almost as if they WANT us to hate it. Did the designers just give up or did they die half way through?
I imagine that Wheelie is supposed to be the new cute character but this guy isn't. Wall-e isn't as sophisticated a machine but is far more appealing.
If he has a bloody sling shot as a weapon I will cry, I know it.

Can't tell if he's a homage to Wall E or Johnny 5. Either way, just confirms suspicion that the movie designers liked Beast Machines.

My GAWD, is Wheelie hideous. Unless he serves a really big part in the movie, and I mean REALLY BIG, I'm soo skippin' that. Man, he's fugly.
Like Leozack though, too bad it's not goin' mass retail.

Hey look Wall-e! Wait you say that's Wheelie? Bay WTF? Only buying if G1 color repaint is made, and mabye not even then. I guess this keep up with the traditon of Wheelie being hated by almost everyone.

I don't think he's as huge as some of you think. Sure it's a deluxe sized figure, but the Prime with it is hybrid style... a very small version, scout class size maybe smaller, so Wheelie is not quite as big as he looks. Although he still looks big and more like Johnny 5!
I like Leozak, but probably won't own him.

Sweet fig...I'm impressed. This is going to be one that the kids who are the target audience for these toys are going to love. I think what would be the best would be to take an actual RC truck- correct size and everything- and make it a Transformer. At least it's not as bad as Frenzy was...

Is it just me or does that blue junk that's supposed to look like a mouth make him look like he's throwing up?
