Review by JoshB
Wheelie first appeared in Transformers The Movie, and while I like the movie, I sort of checked out after that. I got to be more interested in skateboarding and girls around that time, so to me these aren't MY transformers, you know?
So it's hard for me to appreciate the design of Wheelie.
In car form he's not bad. Its reasonably compact and rolls freely. There's a nice rubsign on the hood.
In robot mode? What the fuck? It's terrible. It looks NOTHING like it does in the movie in robot mode. Imagine how dissapointed kids must have been with this.
Wheelie is tough to stand up. He topples over in the display case constantly.
I have no idea how to I pulled off this mode.

1 comment postedI love the movie and the post-movie episodes and even I can't be impressed by the design.
Barring Hot Rod (and obviously Ultra Magnus), pretty much all the movie-based characters made for rather underwhelming toys. Probably because unlike all the other characters before and after, the animation models were made first and then the toy engineers had to figure out how to convert them into toys.
