Yep. He's nuts. Is he an Autobot or Decepticon?

He's both, WHEEL-E Five is a side-changer according to his toy bio.

This guy looks like a really big scout to me. There's nothing to him. Certainly not enough to justify me paying almost $15 for him.

If I imagine him as anything other than a Deluxe, he's not bad. But a deluxe, no way.

I usually keep my mouth shut about figures I don't like, but gods damn, that is a piece of crap. Is he Wall E or Johnny 5? I bet he needs input....

with this, wheelie's popularity rating drops to a new low.........

that actually looks pretty bad...

I'm a big fan of the Movie figures, and have a knack for collecting all of them fanatically... but What in the world is this? My eyes are confused.

by **JesWal** » Tue Apr 28, 2009 4:54 pm

Dare I say...Better than the original?

That aside, I like this figure, just not as a Transformer. If it was an off-brand toy that I could get for 5 bucks, sure. But the others are right, I'm not paying 12-13 dillars for it.

Being an R/C car lover, I must get this. His alt mode looks like an old-school Tamiya monster truck.

It scares me that the original Wheelie looks much better...

If somone held a gun to my head and told me, "Choose! Wheelie or FAB Des. Camo Bumblebee", I'd be inclined to say "Screw you, just pull the trigger already!"

I'm still worried my kids are going to buy this for me as a practical joke.

Okay, I own every single figure in the first movie line, every variation of them. But this line....I'll get a couple figures and quit. This thing looks like crap and nothing Hasbro can say will ever justify the new prices. Soon we'll be paying import prices for domestic toys.

Well said. Although I was unaware of any price changes. I was skeptical about picking this up, and now it's a guarantee no.

For an evil little skynet robot its not to bad......oh wait this is a transformer site nevermind. With a repaint and some remolds it could be a metal gear mark 2 type thing. Kitbash time. I hate you imagination now i have to buy it.

How do you know how big he is? Are there comparison pics somewhere?

There are, and he's about the same size as Voyager Fallen. How the hell did Hasbro let that happen? Wheelie should have been limited to a legends figure. However, little kids will probably eat him up.

Even though this movie looks cool and pretty dark, there's so much Jar Jar-esque pandering to little kids, it's driving me nuts. The twins and Wheelie=too much. At this rate, in TF3, Bay will probably trot out Ewoks.

Is that from a Happy Meal? That looks ridiculous. And in both modes as well. The original wheelie is a better Transformer than that.

For the love of Primus don't give the man any more ideas. If we actually GET Ewoks we are all going to point the finger at you when the angry mob with torches comes. 8-}

As for Wheelies' size, Hasbro understands that our younger collectors may have a harder time with the weight of larger caliber firearms, so out of consideration they provided a larger target to sight in on. This will come in handy with my own kids since neither they nor myself use firearms but instead practice with silent weapons. My yougest is still getting the hang of throwing knives (which his mother has been lax on helping him with) so this will be perfect for him.
