*edit* Dur, just saw the R/C car comment on his card. As an R/C car guy, though,I think the aesthetic is very good. He looks a good bit like a vintage 80's monster truck. Hmmmm...I smell a crossover project between my hobbies in the near future.

The call sheet referred to a robot named "Wheels" but I always knew he would end up as Wheelie - it only makes sense, and it's a perfect choice given the alt mode.
Just wish he wasn't so freakin' ugly.

Bad luck for them, he looks kinda... completely weak and useless. Like Energon Perceptor.
Go get'em, 'cons! Don't forget Daniel, he's the fleshbag with the remote!

It's not like he's the first; remember Strika? Or BM Blastcharge? Or BM Rattrap?

1. sideswipe
2.Constructicon
3.Blue motorcycle thing
4.Wheelie
5.Megatron might be able to roll around on his treads
6.Let's not forget bonecrusher

Yes... agreed. Wall-E was the first thing I saw when I looked at this pathetic looking head. Okay, sorry. I shouldn't call it pathetic. I should keep an open mind.

Totally a bastard child. Just look at those teeth. I know alot of people want to see him get stepped on or something, but look at that endurance. He'll probably survive.

Not bad.

As long as he stops smegging rhyming, I'm cool with it. Besides, the fun might come from beating him to death rather than seeing him dead, no?

He's been running from a bad rep. for 20 years solid. I should hope to Primus the little bugger has high endurance.
This is one figure that I am purposely NOT going to tell my kids about. I can tell already exactly what's going to happen. My oldest son will run up to me with one in his hand while we are at WM or Target and say "Oh, my god, Dad You are not ging to believe it!!!" He'll hold up the package and follow up with "THEY TOTALLY WENT THERE!!" Meanwhile his little brother will just be shaking his head and repeatedly asking "WHY??"
I hate having to explain stuff like this to children. It's worse than the "birds & the bees" lecture.

That I would like to see.
Would make for a great TF prequeal comic.

I was not too sure about his character and how he was going to be in the movie, but this sounds like a good thing to me.
I'll buy this and Devastator, and that will probably be it since I can't afford to spend nearly as much on toys as I used to, mainly due to Wal-Mart's recent price gouge making Target much cheaper for the toys.. I work at Target too, and I get a discount...
*finally puts two and two together*
I'm buying my stuff at work now..

Rule 34 Mechnoid Rape? Maybe the unlicensed Japanese comic...

lol, it was sarcasm
I was also talking about Bay's use of it, like that guys list up there ^
I know its been done before though. It just ruins toy poseability sometimes on certain figs

I like the look of this one, I'll probably buy it when it comes out.
Looks a lot nicer than The Fallen...

O.k. now that picture on top of the already unsettling aforementioned 3-way gang rape of the RC Truck has just placed a disturbing pall over the rest of my afternoon. There's no way in hell I will be able to walk into the toy aisle of any of the local stores and look at this figure without totally losing it. I'm going to be seriously annoyed if I get 86'ed from a Wal-Mart beacuse of what this thread has done to my already damaged psyche.

If you think about it, the figure in its original colors would totally look like that!

I kinda like him, although my fiancee is recoiling away from the screen in terror.. Johnny 5 and E.T. scare the hell out of her.. this just happens to look abit like both :p

As far as the toy, so far I am fairly impressed with Jar-Jar-Wheelie. Hopefully they make a Frenzy and Ravage about the same size.

Throw in some explosions, tits, and product placement and you're good to go.

Jar-Jar-Wheelie?? I can't believe you went there!
Well, my reality is officially F'ed up for the day. Time to lock myself in my room and gouge my eyes out. The bot-on-RC Car 4-way I could handle but...Jar-Jar??
