    I think its a neat idea, I'm just not into the movie stuff that much. Still I look forward to the reviews right here.


    If it wasn't for the kickass Legends figure coming out I'd say Wheelie was definitely cursed. I Gotta pair him with Ti. Grimlock.

    ...I want to like it, but I just cant. It's just so...ugly. It's the face. The rest of the robot mode is fine, but that face just...ugh. I want to punch it.

    ...Seriously? What part of THIS was ever cool? G1 Wheelie was an ABOMINATION before God. Anything would be an improvement. I dont even LIKE this new Wheelie and I think it's better then G1 Wheelie.


    When the company admits to basing it on something else, it's an homage. When they dont, THEN it's a rip off.

    Binocular eyes do not a ripoff make. It's a small design detail that has been popular with quirky robots and aliens for years.

    It's like having to get Okawara's permission to paint a robot's thighs white or put skirt armor on a mecha drawing. It's all just a tool in the arsenal of a designer.

    If he had tank treads and fell in love with an egg shaped Arcee then it's a ripoff.

    Wall-E looks like the lovechild of Jonny 5 and E.T. Wheelie must be his cousin.

    you'll have to wait for the WST ROTF Wheelie for him to be in scale.

    Holy moly. That's one interesting Wheelie. He look both cute and evil at the same time.
    It's the funky teeth, that totally freaks me out. Even Frenzy's teeth look better.

    Oh well, another toy to add to the list. I'm going to be so broke. Hope Hasbro release all the toys or at least mots of them at once.

    I agree, they should make a full-size version that transforms and walks; I know they can, there are enough functioning robot toys out there now that this has to be possible. they might have to cheat the transformation to make it work, but they could do it. if it's anywhere near the size of... well anything would look better, we could swap out the torsos and pretend this hideous monstrosity was never created
