    hmmm I like it, Wheelie ei? hmmm seems Hasbro's trying hard to make the fans like "the rhyming abomination" by subtlely introducing a figure of him back since ... well decades ago. Gotta get them all poke, er, TFL!!

    Not a fan of Hotrod being Hotrod. by that I mean, the mold looks decent, but not liking it being Hotrod.

    All the others are Awesomesauce. Wheelie is just a miniature Classics Bumblebee/Cliffjumper.

    Cosmos doesn't seem to have any hands. Overall I like them all and will get them.

    Warpath's tank mode looks strange but he can pass as a Cybertronian tank mode.

    Love for Wheelie alright and the rest are great as well. These will be the first Legends I purchase to actually open! G1 Minibots for the win!!

    I think Cosmos and Warpath are brilliant!

    *shakes back* Because people are looking past the character and seeing that this is a pretty good attempt of a toy at Legends point. The appeal of Classics/Universe is to give us updated versions of G1 figures and when they're done well many fans can appreciate it. The G1 Wheelie toy was a piece of Coogee-gelato, even by 1986 standards - toywise he's easily the poorest of the Autobot Mini-Cars. Compare him with Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Brawn, Gears, Tailgate, Outback, Warpath, Beachcomber etc. - Wheelie just sucks donkey. But I must say that the pic of this Legends toy does look impressive.

    Character-wise Wheelie has recently redeemed himself a lot in the fandom thanks to his portrayal in Spotlight: Wheelie which arguably portrayed the way that Wheelie was originally intended to be according to his G1 toy bio, a rugged wild boy survivalist... like Mowgli The Jungle Book... not like some freakin' chipmunk who babysits a human child like he did in the cartoon. :/ IDW even created a reason for his rhyming speech (kinda weird and nonsensical when you think about it... but I'll give them points for trying).

    None of the other Universe Legends interest me (aside from G2 Megatron, but I haven't decided to buy that toy yet... meh) but Wheelie does. Not sure if I want to get him... seeing pics of Legends G2 Megatron made me want to get the toy but I changed my mind after seeing it IRL in stores. But I must say that the pics of Legends Wheelie is interesting, and if it looks as compelling IRL I might consider getting it.

    I personally don't see the point considering that we already got Classics Rodimus (& Henkei Hot Rod). IMO Classics Rodimus is the "Hot Rod" character in my Classics/Universe collection... I don't need another one.

    I think the other weird thing with "Hot Rod" is that his alt mode is similar to other legends like Movie Jazz, G1 Jazz, and even Wheelie.

    That pic of Warpath is an improvement over the TFCC pic. That one did him no justice and I think this guy might be the gem of this wave.
