No...this looks awesome to me, too.

Oh, goodie...we get to bust a news crew person for a blatant typo, though I wouldn't have thought to go look if it weren't for Original Sin's post.
2006, though, i_amtrunks? That'd be 2 years ago, meaning it'd have been out for some time now.
Don't mind me, though, i_amtrunks, I'm just calling you out on an honest mistake.

Now that's just plain old fashioned crazy-talk right there.
The nice men in white coats will be along soon to take you for a little drive in their padded van.

This pretty much could perhaps change my view on Wheelie.
Should prove a few of those Wheelie-haters wrong.
Oh, and btw. Tekka, your sig is scary (it just makes me shiver, and scroll fast by it) ^^ (I mean no offense with that comment, it's meant humourously)

As for my feelings on Wheelie, he is not worth hating, but he has not done anything to make me like him either.

You hadn't done it at the time I called him on it, and therefore it was fair game at the time.

I don't really get it either. I personally like Wheelie. Of course, he had absolutely nothing to do with buying Collection 20. Got that because Kup's my favorite figure and I wanted a complete Targetmaster version of that one. The fact that Wheelie is a part of Collection 20, though: fringe benefit, IMO.

I can understand one reason for the hated: the combination of a high-pitched, nails-on-a-chalkboard voice and constant rhyming would grate my nerves too. Never had the toy (completely missed G1) so I don't know anything about it. I did watch enough of the third season to note that he didn't really appear in that many episodes, and to be honest, his rhyming wasn't nearly as annoying as the singing troupe in "Carnage in C Minor."
My personal feelings on Wheelie are neutral; I don't hate the character, but I'm not a fan either. I will be picking this Spotlight up just to see what they do with him (and the appearance of Reflector).
