Ok, now you're just being silly! Take a break and think about what you've done!
;P

 

Yeah I'm being silly. You gootta love this though man. For gods sake its Wheelie and finally its done right. Bay couldn't touch this and get it right.
I'm just sad he or she can't transform. I could never really figure it out Was Wheelie a malebot or fembot?

8 more days till the big "37" man I hate getting older  

 

heeh. turns out after giving it some thought, I am "scraping" this idea...Wheelie's coming, but a little different...

 

nooooo give this one to me first... plzzzz

 

"Nobody puts Baby in a corner."

 

that's what i thought

 

No offense, but it looked more like a fembot the first time i looked at it. And any dignity the Aerialbots had left is certainly gone now.

I do like the overall result, though it is slightly pink. Slingshot parts being used to make a guy with a Slingshot is certainly original.

 

i love the concept! great job!

 

Well I always considered Wheelie a Fem-bot seeing that she was in a pink layout. But Grimlock called her a boy so It made me confused...

 

Oh dear....have you ever had your eyes checked? You might be colorblind.
I'm not kidding. You really might be colorblind. It happens.

That said, Wheelie is orange, and is definitely not a fembot. His voice is obnoxiously high-pitched, yes, and he did in fact kiss Grimlock on the nose, but trust me...Wheelie is the transformers equivalent of a young boy.

Lastly, I feel compelled to state that, for the record, your post triggered a reflexive facepalm.

 

the pinkish tone is the lighter shade of orange.
wheelie's 2 toned, the regular orange and this lighter shade

 

I know what your saying comics and toy wise he was orange but on screen he was pinkish:





and i tend to lean toward on screen always...

 

Ah, I think I see where the confusion is. That does look sorta pink...but it's definitely orange. Using the eyedropper in Paint for a quick number, it's RGB is
R=251, G=165, B=130.

Using this convenient website, here, we see that the closest match is R=255, G=160, B=122, known as "Light Salmon". This falls under "shades of Orange".

Also, Wheelie is just plain NOT a fembot. Fembots were slender, (faux) buxom, and had pretty obviously feminine names (with the exception of Beta, Alpha Trion's girl).

 

I think Wheelie is a pretty cool dude (he's in my sig). Track down this short book for some great art and a good story of Wheelie..
The Story of Wheelie, the Wild Boy of Quintesson - Transformers Wiki

I'm glad you tackled Wheelie F_R, now we wait to discover your plans for him..

 

A better fit for the bio and classics look, I've created version 2 : http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/305777-headmaster-wheelie-verison-2-a.html

And the comments about the "too pinkish" were right, side-by-side, he should have been more orange...

 

Despite not being able to transform, I think you did a wicked job on this. Kudos, f_r.
