That's for the next month!
Hm ... I personally like Wheelie. Everyone's animosity towards Wheelie and Daniel makes me think that I ought to draw up a few ideas for a Mosaic page or two. Hmm ...
You know, I have nothing against the character himself, just how he's been portrayed thus far. His original bio depicts him as being something of a survivor, didn't it? Heck, I used to own the toy, and I always liked it.
The cartoon depiction with its blasted rhyming was responsible for the hate people feel toward him, and the UK comics followed suit. He hasn't exactly been given the variety that characters like Blaster and Grimlock enjoy between incarnations.
I think IDW actually could make something out of Wheelie. If they portray him in a new light, show off his ability to survive, endure, or potentially some eavesdropping abilities (Because honestly, for all we hear of it, I've never seen Bumblebee do all that much spying), I think I could come to like him. The one time we've seen him so far he hasn't been rhyming, and that's a good start.
