Another dud from Hasblo. The Legends version is still superior.

For some reason, this reminds me of those third party simpler figures.

Yeah, it's only been 36 years, not everyone has seen it yet.

The whole war led to Rodimus being in position to take out Unicron. The war was started by Megatron.

Megatron saved the Transformers.
But the Constructicons built Megatron.
Neither Megatron nor the Constructicons would have existed if the Quintessons hadn't created the first Cybertronians, the Quintessons saved the Transformers.

Technicalities don't coun't, If someone's selfish ambition result in a train reaction resulting in good, that does not make the person good.

Relax, dude. We're all just joking around in playful fun. Lighten up.

I need to see what it looks like too. Just that image, the figure looks kind of gross.

I though so too, but my opinion could change. TR bumblebee has similar issues, and he is not that bad in hand.

The Wheelie that came with Grimlock had ports in its legs, the posts were on Grimlock. Maybe it was just me but TR Wheelie was a floppy mess that barely held together in vehicle mode, anything is better than that. I think something can be done with the butt flap on the core class figure.

if you look closely it seems TR Wheelie has something resembling a backpack too in that image, though maybe not as bad.

Don't get me wrong not my favorite character but I always somewhat liked him. Maybe it's nostalgia from watching the movie so much as a kid. Maybe its because I don't get annoyed as easily, I don't hate Jar Jar binks either so there's that lol

Wheelie did nothing wrong, justice for Wheelie. Don't worry little guy, you can find a friend by looking behind, I got your back.

Well said! Wheelie led dinobots to kup and hot rod -> dinobots save them -> hot rod becomes rodimus Prime and uses the matrix to defeat unicron (spoiler alert) -> Wheelie saved the transformers
Though, none of which would have happened if the Decepticons hadn't shot down their shuttle to crash-land on Quintessa.

Galvatron saved the Transformers.

Galvatron wouldn't have existed if Unicron didn't reformat the dying Megatron.

Unicron saved the Transformers!

Yup, Wheelie ended up with quite the booty.

I don't think it's too bad for the price point Can't see if there's pegs there in the legs for Grimlock Cross compatability.

I can't see if there's pegs on the legs either, doesn't look like there are. Maybe that badonkadonk hoochie daddy butt flap has a little poker to put in the no-no hole on grimlock's/slug's shoulders

Considering he stores the slingshot in alt mode by plugging it into that badonkadonk, there's at least a port under that flap

*Gasp* Great Scott! That's not a slingshot, it's a flux capacitor! That's how he knew to be where the Dinobots would show up, he's a time traveler!

I dont really have a dog (wheel) in this fight (wheelie .. debate), but the TR one still doesnt look bad? Ive never handled the mold tho and sometimes thats what it comes down to, personal preference.
HOWEVER, will say that very visible hands tend to irk me, so clean as the new SS version as the silver fists poppin out kills it for me

Come to think of it i let Siege Spinister slide on this rule, but his aren't quite as pronounced #-o

Ah. Yes, it's pretty good. Better than I could do. I can't even take decent pictures. :-(

I watched it to hype up his arrival for when Amazon decides to send him. ;)^

LOL no it was fine. My only suggestion would be to put a little pep in your voice, be enthusiastic like the figure is the greatest thing you have ever seen.
