    Default New not Wheelie from X-transbot

    Not bad, but I thought this co had already made a Wheelie figure

    Wasn't there another company that made something similar but in limited quantities?
    It's great to have these independents churning out molds of our favorite characters but the pace they're being thrown out on the market makes it hard to keep up with

    All I'm asking is that it be small enough to sit on top of MP Grimlock.

    I do remember a Superalloy release which was a diecast upscaled copy of a plastic wheelie that might have been made by xtransbots (it sounds familiar anyway).

    Yeah X-Transbot did have a previous Wheelie - they must really like their Wheelies.

    This one does have a nicer Headmasters Anime finish. Wonder if it scales well with Fansproject's Function-X line? If so, would look great as not-Weirdwolf, not-Mindwipe and not-Skullcruncher's hostage!

    X-Transbots official site says he'll be 4.64 inches tall. About half an inch shorter than the previous Wheelie effort, X2 Survivor.

    Anyone familiar with this Grimlock (it looks transformable)? And where it can be purchased? I don't do eBay so that's not an option for me. Sorry to go off topic.

    Oversized KO i think. I've seen them around the darker parts of the interwebz. I'd say it's a custom paint job too.

    Up for preorder (June release if the dates are accurate) from BBTS and TFSource as a twin pack with "Turbo"

    I'll be waiting a bit to see if XTransbots offers him separately for now.
