    Brief thoughts
    I'm still pinching myself over actually finding an awesome G1 Wheelie toy! This is such a clever little toy that has a sort of "Masterpiece after-taste" to it. What I mean by this is how they've really cleverly given this toy a cockpit, something which is typically an immovable part of a Transformer toy, but also allows the cockpit to collapse in on itself in robot mode in order to fill in that space and not leave a chest cavity. This also has the effect of bulking the toy up in vehicle mode, but shrinking it in robot mode, which is kinda like what the cartoon did. There's a lot of awesomeness packed into this little toy! I just wish that it came with a weapon, but the fists are compatible with any 5mm post weapon at least.

    Pictures




    I don't have a Titan Master, and none of my Nebulans could fit inside Wheelie, but a Diaclone pilot could. Although the cockpit is far too big for him.


    I'm estimating the Titan Masters to be somewhere between the size of a 1988 Nebulan and a Diaclone pilot.

    Overall: Highly recommended.

    Glad to hear he's a good figure. I love the head sculpt.

    Don't feel bad cause probably no one does.
    And yours is probably one of the first reviews in the world

    Fun little figure, retains waist articulation after transformation. Has a slight TF Prime aesthetic.

    A word of warning:

    Check the hinges on wheelie's legs for stress marks it doesn't affect the transformation it just looks bad.

    Wonder if we'll get a Dion repaint?

    Also: I want to see pics of this guy with generations or MP Grimlock

    I'm hoping for a Big Looker book recolour. Or at least a cool dirty custom of it from someone.

    Doesn't help me but. I'm nowhere near Penruff. Balko would be best but I believe someone already said they sold out there.
