    Most curious think to say in a Transformers message board.

    Seeing how good this core class looks I trust Hasbro with ROTB Arcee although I\'m questioning how they\'re going to make it turn into a motorcycle without making it a deluxe

    Its funny how DK-24 UPGRADE KIT FOR TRANSFORMERS STUDIO SERIES 86-06 GRIMLOCK AND WHEELIE | DNA DESIGN looks similar to Hasbro's core figure design.

    Rattrap certainly isn't perfect but he looks like such a higher-quality figure than Wheelie. If you'd told me they were from the same size class only about a year apart I probably wouldn't believe you. I think Rattrap and to a lesser extent Spike made my expectations for Wheelie too high, when they're kind of the exception for the intricacy and level of detail for Core class rather than the rule.

    agreed. i think just the new transformation they figured out for rattrap just works really well tor the size class and his design. just sacrificed some cartoon accuracy which is okay in my book. wheelie feels like he just needes that tiny bit more budget to atleast cover up those arms

    Despite the car mode issues, SS86 wheelie is still 100x better then the 3p knockoff :p

    That looks as far away from SS86 Wheelie as you can get while being based on the same visual concept.

    A real wheelienthusiast.

    So, one option that deviates from the G1 look but could help hide the hands; put guns in each hand for alt mode guns... won't hide it as much from the side but should help at least somewhat.
    Not sure how many spare guns I have at that scale though...

    These newer pictures help the robot mode look better to me at least. Still utterly hate the feet. They look so damn weird and awkward.

    Funnily enough, the very same pieces that form the feet in robot mode also form the main thing I dislike about the vehicle mode, the front nose section. It just doesn't look right. The fists are unfortunate, but I can understand them given the budget. It's that front end that bugs me.

    Overall I'll still grab this, he doesn't look terrible, and I'm sure the transformation will be fairly satisfying like most core class.

    Back to getting this. Definitely for the 'Bot Mode. Does make me really appreciate Legends car mode though.

    Looks pretty good, but I'll wait for a sale or a toy/Marvel deco.
