I was wondering if wheelie is ever redone, is there a chance he will be a good character, with a good story? I was just wondering if anyone thinks if he does show up ever agian will he be cool? I know i'm crazy but wheelie is one of my favorite characters, and I'm just wondering will he have that chance?

The only thing that will ever return honor to the name Wheelie (if it ever had any). Is if he gets into a new series as a badass character with a kickass figure.

Pretty much...

 

Hehe...Wheelie is just one of those characters everyone hates for whatever reason...but who knows a Kickass Alternator of Wheelie could do it.

 

On another note, his tech spec was pretty cool sounding, overall. Hehe..

I don't mind any new Wheelie, as long as he's not rhyming. It's always good to have a character who is a trickster/sprite.

Just pronounce his name:

 

"Wheelie"

 

Just the name makes clear this is one character that cannot be saved. Doesn't matter how good looking a character he will be or how badass, the name ruins it.

 

Just imagine a very evil powerful Decepticon or a mighty Autobot warrior named Wheelie. It doesn't work. With the name Wheelie any character will be the ridicule of the TF universe.

 

:tdown

:pfx Perhaps an Alternators motorcycle. And if he had a decent character that didn't have tooo much "screentime", that would help, too.

I don't hate Wheelie. I never even heard of anyone hating Wheelie (nor Ewoks) until the internet came around. I'd actually like to see a micromaster or WST Wheelie. The original toy is really bad, especially since he was supposed to be so small.

 

I don't think he should be one of the foremost TF characters. But he has his place.

if wheelie does gain a cool robot/alt mode he will be renamed by me, as far as i am concerned he should be thrown into a volcano....by the autobots

 

;)

Wheelie would be a great name for a Mini-con. But I don't think he deserves to be more than that considering the stigma. If he becomes a popular Mini-con, who knows?

 

Wheelie not only suffered from being an annoying character in the cartoons, but also is one of the crappiest looking toys in G1. I find the face molded in there pretty creepy.

Good design, bad characterization, worse toy. He needs one helluva rehaul to impress the fandom.
