Kids Magazine with redecoed Universe Wheelie

[Bidoofdude]

I was in Target and Big W today and they had the kids magazines by the registers (K-Zone, Mania, etc.). The pack in for one of them was something Transformers, but I didn't see it properly at Big W and Woolworths. Some orangey-red car. I then passed by the same magazine at Target and I got a closer look.
The included toy is actually a redeco of Universe Legends Wheelie. I don't know if it was actually legitimately made or just a KO, but it had a black Autobot symbol on his chest. He was a strong, almost neon orange colour. I didn't get to look for long enough to see the quality.

I may be able to get pics soon, but they had the magazine at Woolworths, Big W and Target.

Ha, I took pics of this at a newsagent near my work but never got around to posting. I think it's a KO. disappointing to see this type of thing still being included in a magazine with an (I'm assuming) "official" article on transformers inside.

Those kids magazines have bonus KO Transformers once or twice a year... it's really weird. I should ask Hasbro one of these days how they are allowed to.

I find it weirder that they're ballsy enough to slap an Autobot logo on him.

I just saw these at work today. I saw Wheelie slightly off colour, Beachcomber slightly darker colour than normal, and a yellow one that I'm not sure of the mould. They looked fairly legit because of the Autobot logo's and the official Transformers logo on the magazine.

Also just got in another kids magazine in today with a clearly KO multicolour version of Cybertron Brakedown.

I bought it for Wheelie, but it's lousy plastic, the tolerances are off and almost impossible to get into car mode
