As mentioned by fellow Seibertronian Scaleface, 3rd Party toy makers X-Transbots have released a new image for their Ollie action figure that reveals they have a new project that pays home to the G1 Wheelie character. Get a look at the initial design teaser image showing the figure's robot mode in color and a grey prototype view of the alternate vehicle mode below. No word on pricing or a release date at this time.

Looks good, I'm in need of a good Wheelie figure

I might just have a reason to replace the Legends Class Wheelie I have, now.

Wasn't this figure made already? This looks very similar to the other 3rd party Wheelie designs.

Please be scout sized or Im not interested. They already screwed up Huffer by making him too big after Igear screwed up Huffer by making him too small. :HEADHURTS:

If CHMS/X-Transbots cant get the scale right, they should stick to making KO seeker repaints and they will see a lot more of my money.

These guys are for MP collections, so it might be too big for a classics collection.

Just maybe.

That's what I'm afraid of. I have to go with X on this. Scout (or maaaaaaybe small deluxe) and a decent price or I'm out.

Looks cool, though.

It is probably a tab bit too big, but still a reasonable MP size

News Credits: 10 · by **Agamemnon** » Thu Dec 05, 2013 6:44 pm

Yep. I'm with X. Too big for my tastes. If I was into the MP lines, I think I'd really like this!

I'd prefer if he were a little bit smaller
I think minibot characters shouldn't be taller
than a Hasbro Legends size official release
iGear's Rager was good but I'm hard to please
maybe if it's cheap enough I might reconsider
but right now it looks like I'll pass on this figure

This seems to be MP scaled... and I only collect official MPs...

:-?

Dodged that bullet!

As soon as I read "I'd prefer it if he were a little bit smaller", I heard "I Wish" by Skee-Lo. Heck, let's take that trip down memory lane, shall we?

Hmmm....this might be classics scale after all. At least for me since I Consider igear cosmos and beachcomber to be the perfect scout scale. For those of you who need wheelie to be this little human sized runt, then it still might be MP scale. But now im starting to get intrested in this after seeing it smaller than their huffer which was about deluxe height.

Hoestly? I find him a little too large. I like Wheelie as a Legends class figure for some reason.

Seems perfect for my classics shelf. I always viewed all the mini bots as being the same scale. I know there were some scenes where wheelie was potrayed as being the size of an exo suit. But in other scenes he is portrayed as being about bumblebees size. Since we all are pretty comfortable with classics bumblebees size, a bit smaller seems to be a good choice. The fact that they were shooting for an MP scale runt really worked out well for those wanted him in scout class for a classics shelf. If they had made him their huffers height, I would definitely pass.

Looking at the comparisions pics in this thread. This X-Transbots wheelie is legends scale & not commander scale.

X-Transbots Hoss Has the over 4 inch tall height & more bulk to be considred a Commander scale toy. While X-Transbots Ollie Is around 3 & 1/3 inch tall,has less bulk & is considered a Legends scale TF toy.

This X-Transbot Legends Wheelie toy is simply not needed. as HasTak has already made a decent Legends scale Wheelie toy for Universe.

His head rises up to their Huffer's chest. Their Huffer is deluxe height so that makes their Wheelie scout class. I have no clue what "commander" class is. I passed on the post DOTM stuff. And legends Wheelie sucks. I have him. He is too small and has no elbow articulation. Legends don't belong in toy stores. They should be the toys for McDonalds Happy Meals. That's how cheap they are.
