My Difficulty rating (out of 5) - 1
Stability - Good balance, but the arms sometimes pop off, and have trouble locking together in alt-mode.
Poseability/articulation - Less than Soundwave, but isn't as noticeable with the limbs being a lot thinner, so doesn't look like a solid immovable block.
Playability - Very playable (a lot more playable than the Deluxe version), and great to have with regular sized Movie toys, as the character is supposed to be micro-sized compared the others.
My Thoughts - One of the best Legends sized toys, and should have been out in a much earlier wave while the Movie was helping to sell the toys. If you only buy one Wheelie toy, this one should be it. Both modes pull off the look of the character, with almost no kibble ruining either mode. Heck, even if you don't collect Movie toys, this one is a great cheap sample to have of the Movie universe.
Overall Recommendation Rating (out of 10) - 8.5 (must buy)
