    dude, that'd be a cool custom to make, using the Prowl mold from Beast wars...maybe just give him a new head...

    Since when has that ever stopped them? Dead End, Rollbar... I realize Wheelie was a movie character, but the toy's vehicle mode & colors fit G1 Wheelie to a tee. Just put a "GT" at the end and a short explanation in the bio and there you go.

    Give it time.


    Anyways, I really like "Wheelie". Sorta like the Knock Out repaint, though I would've preferred another repaint first, or a repaint that had a completely different base color. As for the FABs, the robot modes will determine if I buy them or not. (Tuner Mudflap's was different enough.)

    Skids and Mudflap taking the "Disguise" out of "Robots in Disguise" by putting their names on their windshields.

    Oh, maybe they're a Halloween redeco! They dressed up as each other. :D

    I really wish they'd have done that. Mudflap in green and Skids in orange.

    Or make them both dark brown, just to stir the pot.

    After Scout Dead End gave up his body to become a Deluxe, the RC Wheelie possessed the body!

    The red motorcycle can be an earth mode for Cybertron Ransack.

    Of course the names Wheelie and Ransack have already been used, but that didn't stop them from using Mudflap, Armorhide, Air Raid, Brawl, Mixmaster, Longhaul, Rampage, or Jolt twice in the movie line did it?

    The yellow Dead End is Sunstreaker! I just know it! Sunny is too awesome to be kept out of any toy line for long!

    You know toy distribution is not Hasbro's fault, right? Retailers handle that after the toys arrive in your country.

    Why, oh why, do they continue to deny us a repaint of the brilliance that is Ransack............

    Maybe its just me but I have had trouble with the Dead End mold not connecting up together in car mode and the hands fell right off right out of the package on both dead end and the nightbeat repaint. But it is a nice looking mold once transformed, especially nightbeat.

    :lol  Yeah, make the bio some alternate reality where Mudflap got the Green one. (Well, they did argue over who should get the green one.:D )

    Or maybe a repaint were they are both pink and white, like they keep their ice cream truck colors, or something. ;)

    I like the red bike. One of the better repaints I've seen thus far.

    Chillax man, we're getting one. There's a listing in Walmart computers for a "BIPLANE", and it isn't the same number as Ransack.

    Because Ransack is aweseome. Hasbro will probably save a repaint of him for later in the ROTF line when sales start dying down so that they can milk the mold for all it's worth.

    It is hard to deny the Wheelieness of that deco, isn't it? Hasbro hasn't recycled any names from on-screen characters within the movie lines so far, though. Guess it could still be the same character, but he wouldn't be easily identifiable as such.

    And I doubt that movie molds will be used in other lines, given the licensing issue. Same reason none of them -- including off-screen characters and non-licensed vehicles -- can be used for BotCon toys.

    Except for, like, every line other than G1 and Universe?
