I do what I can when I can, when I finally finish an article, I front page it.

Thanks for your review, Chuck.

First, I was worried because I hadn't seen you in a bit, and thought something happened. Second, until this moment I wasn't seeing any links with the post, I was checking to see if something happened with my browser. I wasn't throwing shade or anything else the kids say.

All good. Won’t be contributing as much as my first 10 years on the site going forward, just too busy and I can’t keep up as much, but you will still see me now and then.

10 years? Wow, we're getting old.

Oh it's been longer than that, I've been doing news since 2014 (so 12 years), but it's the first 10 years that I was contributing the most. I was single then and am now marries with 3 kids.

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.

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.
